Second the bigs hugs to everyone going through (Or having gone through) tough times!!

Been busy and travelling. Went down to the states, and managed to buy only one small Lancome eye palette, 2 nail polish, 2 BB cream sample sizes, and one lippie. Being that I hadn't been to a CCO, outlet mall or an Ulta before I think I showed reasonable restraint :)

Just ordered 2 of the patentpolish lip pencils. I'm doing better with my spending with this low buy, although I still make some mistakes. But overall just being more mindful and taking a few more minutes to think over purchases, I've really been able to cut back. Also not being lazy and returning things when I can really helps too. Thanks Low Buy buddies for the inspiration and motivation!

Today's lip is Tarte lipsurgence cream in Precious with Almay color+care balm in Rosy Lipped. Rushed my makeup today, got in the car, and noticed that my eyes had two different makeup looks. Ugh. Tried to correct it with my purse makeup bag. Blech. I don't think the two men I work with will notice, but it is bugging me. ;)

Does anyone have/love Hoop lipstick? I'm considering it from By Request. I don't have any dupes listed by Temptalia. I've got other things that are higher on my want list, but I love a good MAC pink lipstick.

Today I am wearing Revlon's Coral Reef. Gorgeous!! I want Hoop and Pink Poodle! Those are the type of shades I like to wear a lot! I might need to ask for a CP though.

Wore MAC Rebel earlier today, and was surprised it lasted through eating. Then I decided I wasn't in the mood for Rebel. I've been on a MAC streak lately so I was going to wear NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania over Rebel, and it made a really pretty shade but Rebel had feathered and I couldn't get it to fill in right, so I scrapped that idea entirely and picked up Ruby Woo. I'd tried it on before but HOLY SAHARA DESERT it's drying. And I'm usually great with matte lipsticks, and I put it over a balm. Oh well. It looks gorgeous so it's worth it.

I seriously need to reorganize my makeup. I have a really small space in my dorm for it which sucks, but one of my makeup bags fell off the sink today and I just knew some of my blushes and eyeshadows broke (thankfully they didn't, but Stereo Rose had popped open and that was a very scary moment). Also, my lipstick container is not optimal - I've got them in a box and I tend to reach for whatever is on top (usually MAC). I need to figure out something else but for my small space, I have no clue what.

Not all purchases are mistakes. You bought the products for a reason. I'm tutting you not because you purchase something, but because you thought you made a mistake. I reckon you thought things through and find what you liked to be a good value. Enjoy your makeup and use it often!

I made my purchase on Sunday at an Ulta, Too Faced's A La Mode eyeshadow palette: http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod6330238 I liked the colors, it's suitable for the season, made sure that I do not have dupes, and got a free mascara and primer out of it.
