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

[CrimsonQuill157]

I didn't skip Playland but I just got Toying Around and Red Balloon. I'm really glad I got TA because it's similar to Hibiscus and I've been hesitating to use Hibiscus cause I don't want it to run out

 

[Naynadine]

Naynadine, the EL lip conditioner isn't anything special, so no worries! Nothing to stress about.

Sleeping Beauty, maybe you could buy an empty bottle with a pump and use it for the Revlon foundation? I'm sure there're options on ebay or stores like Muji.

I skipped Playland too. And Proenza. And everything else really until AA, though I want some Nars items. Holding out on them though.

Thanks, that does help talking me out of it!

Said goodbye to another lipstick today: NARS Barbarella. Couldn't get with the formula or the scent and the color took some work too. I kept trying to wear it and taking it off in favor of something else.. Time to Let. It. Go. I've had it for 2 years and it still looks barely used. BYE.

Either you have amazing lashes naturally or that mascara is amazing. Either way - beautiful lashes!

So today we finally got my vanity set up. Now I just have to find the energy to get it all finished/organised how I want it.

I'm nearly there, but my health is really dragging me the past few days. It seems this illness/disease really hates heat/warm weather. I haven't been THIS bad in a while, it's exhausting. I'm hoping to get it sorted this weekend though.

I have to say, really impressed with my partner - he did an epic job for what I wanted but it was all his idea to do anyway. <3 his supportiveness in this sick obsession, albeit him complaining from time to time about my spending/making fun of how much I have/buy.

Hey Ladies!

Just checking in with you all! Skipped Playland, but very interested in B2Ming for one of the new perm. lippies. We shall see! I've figured out that matte is not really my type of formula....so that's a good thing! I like lustres and sparkly lippies - maybe AC, I dunno if I've tried that one. I've never been a lipstick person, more of a gloss person. I also figured out that I love Creamsheen lip glosses as opposed to lip glass, but lip glasses come in such sparkly colours so it's a toss up haha.

I did myself up almost every day this week with my EDES and yesterday a student asked me if I was wearing pink eye shadow (but of course I was!!!) - she liked it because "not many girls wear such bright eye shadow." Some days I think I have stumbled into just the right place at the right time, ya know?

Checked out the AA EDES swatches

Holy macaroni!!! Gorgeous and right up my alley! That'll be a big spree, so I really have to dig deep to figure out what I want/if it's worth it!
Hope you all have a wonderful Easter Holiday! The weather here has been beautiful so far today, so let's hope it continues!

(I love this little guy!!! so cute!)

@veronikawithak - good for you for getting rid of that lippie!!! Out with the old and dysfunctional, amirite?

Ty! It's both! I have long fanned out lashes as it is, but this mascara is the best I've tried for making them huge. Pretty much one sweep did it! Whereas Diorshow I'd have to build up to get them that high. Shame it runs when my eyes water! That's why I wear 17 brown mascara most of the time.

Girl, you are far too pretty and not showing it off enough. You should definitely wear black mascara more often - it makes your lashes look beautiful and with the eye looks you've been doing (esp. that winged one) you'll be turning heads everywhere. My most recent mascara love is the Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes. I was a die hard Benefit They're Real HG girl before but I really do love this Lancome one. I think I got another one of their samples too with a recent order so I'll be trying that soon.

I was obsessed with silverchair in Highschool... Still have all their albums. Maybe it's time for a trip down memory lane.

Neon Ballroom is one of my all time favorite albums and is still in my rotation all these years later.

Oh yeahhhh!!!! He's still a cutie, but WOWIE when I was a teenager his long blonde locks were swooooon worthy! I feel a bit creepy looking at his younger pics now and STILL SWOONING lol! When they came to my city for a huge outdoor festival it was AMAZING. Fantastic performers.

I'm going to keep it going! I have more than another 30 Days of Lippies in my stash! Might as well stick with the challenge! So I'm in with the girls continuing onto "60 LIPSTICKS IN 60 DAYS!!"

 

[PixieDancer]

I think I'm going to continue my next 30 Lipsticks (cycle 2) challenge by also adding "30 Eyeshadows in 30 Days" as well! I will incorporate at least 1 new eyeshadow/eye product into my look everyday. I need to use this makeup!!!

I'm down for this one. These past two weeks I've had time to check in real quick and in and out ! But I tried to stick to the 30 lippys challenge and loved it. Ended up changing up my eyeshadow looks too and unearthing my palettes etc. I love my stash. They're like my babies.

 

[Starlight77]

I'm totally up for round 2!! Last time I did only MAC lipsticks, and a different blush/palette each day too. I liked it a lot. I will continue this time using all my other high end lipsticks along with the different blush and palette each day again too.
it's sad as i didn't even finish all my palettes and blushes last time. I did better than I thought with lipsticks. I have too many but most are worn. My lip glosses are cleared out from swap and I have a small amount that are all being used. I just need to decide what to do with the blushes and palettes that I didn't grab for. whether to donate them or hold onto to them a little longer....

If you feel like a lot of them are redundant... pick your favs and let the others go. No sense in holding onto things that aren't as nice that you'll most likely rarely (if ever) use! For example, I'm going to buy a little MAC quad and purge some of my bright MAC shades that I think aren't going to get as much love now that I have the UD Electric Palette. My little sister will LOVE receiving them, as her budget rarely has much room for higher end cosmetics. She basically waits for me to not love something or gift-giving time when I always come with the goods! It feels nice to pass something along. And if you swap/sell them... you can get things you'll use or funds towards your next usable purchase!
