Resolution "LOW-BUY" 2014! Who wants to play?

[PixieDancer]

--=30lipsticks30=--
Day 2 (Friday 4 April) : Kat Von D. Foiled Love Lipstick in Oh My Goth - semi-matte “metallic deep amethyst [plum] with iridescent micro glitter” - I LOVE the color and finish. This one is NOT going away.

No compliments, but we did a concert last night and one piece was a premiere, so we were all a little preoccupied and nervous, since we messed up terribly during our sound check. It wasn't perfect, but it came off OK. The audience was cheering, so that was nice. I play in two Balinese gamelans, and the concert featured dances in 4 out of 7 pieces.

I'm wearing a completely different lipstick today for the concert. Will report tomorrow.

That sounds soooooo awesome girl! I'd love to see some pics of this if you have any! I am a sucker for performance art of any kind... the costumes, the makeup... I love it all! I'm sure you rocked!

No makeup at all today. I decided to actually do a little Spring cleaning today at my OWN house after helping my mom so much the last few weeks!
Moving onto the closet purge here later tonight and tomorrow.
I'll definitely take those stash pics I've been promising you guys @MissTania... I can't believe I keep forgetting! Guess I've just been enjoying my stuff too much to remember!

Closet purge!!!!! Low buy thread crew possible thread idea ? I'm doing my spring cleaning soon too and I go through massive purges to donate. Shoes, work clothes... The works.

I have lost count and I haven't been keeping up with the lipsticks I've been wearing, but I know I haven't worn a lipstick more than once in the last while.

Today was MAC All Fired Up.

I was kind of bad today. Went to the CCO in Mebane, I had heard such great things about it but they barely had any MAC lipstick, and I don't do shadows. I did get a Pro Longwear Lipcreme in Heart Hangover which is gorgeous, and Estee Lauder Cherry from the Mad Men collection. It's tiny but wow, the color is perfect for me. They had plenty and I feel like I need to back this up since there is so little product. Especially with it being double that on eBay and $70 (are they crazy???) on Amazon. Might swatch through my collection first and see if I have anything close, but I don't think I do.

I haven't done a major closet purge in a LONGGGGGG time. Every season I part with a nice little pile of stuff, but I'm embarking on an extreme overhaul here! LOL

Today is my birthday. I spent money. On myself. Not way too much, but I treated myself and I don't even care. Huzzah. I won't post my haul since I don't want to start any lemmings. But I spent much of my childhood being disappointed on my birthday or having my birthday held over my head as a privilege that I had to earn, so I'm growing up and taking care of my damn self today. Today's face (Day 5 of Love It or Leave It April) is Urban Decay Naked Skin in 3.5, MAC Prolongwear NC15, Give Me Sun bronzer, Full of Joy and Stereo Rose 2.0 as blush, eyes are Patina, Vex, Vapour and Uninterrupted Pro eyeshadows, with a gold pressed pigment on top.

Happy Personal New Year!

I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK! I passed the first time it came out in the Marilyn Collection. I happened to get this after seeing a friend wearing it when Macy's did the relaunch. It may just be my perfect red. Deep, rich, makes my teeth look white, I can't gush enough about this color. MAC needs to make this one permanent. If they did I would grab another one.

AMEN woman!! Deeply Adored IS HG! It's my staple dark red! I honestly don't need to own another dark red as long as I have this! SO glad you were able to snag one 2nd time around!
It's also in that Antonio Lopez lip palette that I'm sure is gonna be all over the CCO's if you were still looking for a BU... should be able to snag it (with 2 other colors) for under $20.

Fell in love with a few things yesterday:
Rich Glance powerchrome pencil
Street Cool (again, I know) shadestick
Innuendo e/s
100 Strokes e/s
Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Pale Pink
Spiceflower l/s

Fell out of love with a few others today:
Cakeshop shadestick (seriously not my color)
Warm Chill e/s
Black Greasepaint stick
Club e/s (great color, just requires work)
Tan de Chanel (nice, but I need to be careful lest it turn way orange on me)
Roleplay l/s (OK I still love this. Always surprised by how good it is)

I already know that I am neutral-cool but forcing myself out of my regular routine is reminding me that warm tones are much harder for me to rock without a lot of extra effort.
Yesterday my husband kept complimenting me on how beautiful I looked and today when I asked him about my makeup he was like "it's nice". haha, that said it all!

 

[Naynadine]

Happy belated Birthday, @LinenWhite7!

@HerGreyness, I'm glad the talk went well - no flying chairs or shaved brows, lol. I admire how independent and strong you are. Happy for you that you found such a great guy!

Haven't followed the threads much in the last days. Caught the norovirus from my dad that he brought back from the hospital, now mom has it too. That thing is vicious, lol.

@Naynadine glad you are feeling better. Be careful with virus (Bert speaking lol). It can pretend to go away and then relapse... but if you are hidrating and resting, eat well.. etc. You should be just perfect in no time. Fee for Bert consult online : 20$ cyber dollars.. lol

@LinenWhite7 Happiest of Birthdays dear.. and that's the way to do it. We have a life to live and it's for ourselves no matter what. So glad you had a good splurge.
@Alysse011

Kerry -- hope the fndn works for you... remember you can keep things light by adding your moisturizer or luminzer to the mix.

I always treat myself to birthdays.. lol. I like to surprise my friends with goodies, but last year, I learned a valuable lesson from someone I thought was a friend. I sent her gifts and remembered her birthday, and she just ignored mine. Which is good for me.. because I learned that I will only give in the measure that I receive. Anything over that is just stupid. I wish her well.. and know she lost a good friend... pity her actually.


Getting ready for brunch with Bert in awhile.. no beach today... so am doing a simple face.. lol. WTH is that? ... for me it's a CC cream instead of foundation, pinky coral blush Armani 502, some bronzer Too faced light, and Dolce Vita NARS lip pencil. Eyes, well lined in NARS mesopotamia and some BB Chocolate es.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

 

[User38]

Confessin the blues: I have bought 4 foundations and two CC creams, in this past week.

I have been bad.. but will be better.

Trashing any old foundation this week.. ha.

Lol! I hope he accepts lipsticks instead.

Agree about the gifts. I had the same thing happening with the friend I had a falling out with.

Sounds like a great look. The Armani 502 is on my wish list too.
