Definitely some of my favourite concerts I saw in high school were silver chair. I also worshipped at the altar of Daniel Johns.

Ladies I need an opinion or two! I sorted out my mac eyeshadow palettes last month and as a result I have been reaching for them a lot, but my naked 1,2 &3 palettes just sit in the draw unloved :-( What do I do, purge or make them the only palettes it can use this month ? Help!

Can I join in on the low-buy as well? I've already started the 30-day lipstick challenge, and I'm trying to only buy lipsticks I know I will get use out of

I love love love love this lipstick and the finish. Got many backups too. Drying on the lips. Day 3: Mac Hot Chocolate. I love this color and finish. Moisturizing on the lips Day 4 : Mac Runway Hit, Matte. Mac lied about this being a Matte I beg to differ. I want to love this lipstick but it’s just not working for me. Very drying, uneven and streaky looking. I do like the color but I can’t get it to work. I’m glad I finally pulled this lippie out to try but I am pissed that it does not work……… going to be even more pissed lol. Day 5: Mac Mehr, matte. I love this color and finish. No complaints about it. Day 6: Mac Riri Nude,retro matte. Its ok, I don’t think I would not purchase this color again. I love the finish of the lippie. It’s not bad but it is different enough to have. Moisturizing on the lips Day 7: Mac Bad Girl Riri – retro matte, love it, the color and finish. Moisturizing on the lips. Day 8: Revolon Colorburst in 001 Pink Truffle, love the color, very moisturizing and will repurchase. Day 9: Mac Betty Bright, satin, I love love this color lipstick and the finish. Moisturizing on the lips Day 10: Mac Kinda Sexy, matte, love the finish and color. Not drying on me or streaky. Not sure if I will repurchase this again. Day 11: Mac Mocha, satin. I love the feel of this finish. I like the color but I don’t think I will repurchase it again not that it is a bad color but I think I have similar colors. Day 12: L’Oreal Color Riche in 176 Sunset Angora , love it the finish and color and I will repurchase Day 13: L’Oreal Color Riche in Violet Chiffon, love it the finish and color and I will repurchase Day 14: Color Whisper in 30 Pin up Peach love it, moisturizing, I will repurchase it.

I will not repurchase it Day 20: WetnWild 903C Just Peachy The color is okay, drying and patchy on me. I will not repurchase Day 21: Mac Flat out Fabulous, matte, went on smooth not that creamy but there was some moisture there. I had no idea this was going to look this lovely on me. It is a very vibrant color. I really love it and I can’t believe I let this little jewel sit in my makeup bin since last year. This challenge made me pull it out and give it a try and boy its lovely. The staying power is really long too. Day 22: Mac Pleasure Bomb, retro matte. Another hidden jewel I gave no attention too. It is a very vibrant color. I really really love it and I can’t believe I let this little jewel sit in my makeup bin since last year. I tried it on once and thought it was cute but this challenge made me pull it out and give it a try again and boy its lovely. The staying power is really long too. Day 23:WetnWild “Don’t Blink Pink 966”, matte, I have had this jewel for a long time and pulled it out to try and I love it. There is something about this color pink that wakes my face up. Day 24: WetnWild “Doll House Pink 967”, matte, This has to be one of the most horrible pinks I have ever put to my face. This shade of pink does not work for me.

Eyemazing April Sat 19th: wing failure So after the storming success of the chanel burgundy liner a few days ago, I thought I'd tryaanother with illamasqua presicion ink liner in havoc. I was instantly reminded why I only wore it once, despite the fine tip I couldn't get a fine line as it just ran and bled everywhere. I got one wing done ok but doing the second was pissing me off, so I took it off and tossed it! Used mac Orpheus kohl for a softer wing Chanel imitible rouge noir mascara

I like the idea of using just those palettes for a month and then deciding whether or not to keep them!

Definitely commit to using just those pallets before you write them off! you might find beautiful combos you love! The 30 day challenges seem to really help with discovering treasures. . If you don't love them after 30 days it's probably safe to swap/donate/sell. Good luck and don't forget to share your looks with us!
Woot! The more the merrier!Can I join in on the low-buy as well? I've already started the 30-day lipstick challenge, and I'm trying to only buy lipsticks I know I will get use out of

I feel like I'm on a makeup-shopping cold turkey. No packages in the mail, no new makeup to play with. I feel like I want to treat myself to something nice. Ugh... two more weeks, I can do it!
I repurchased a skincare item, but shopping for skincare isn't as fun, lol.

You and me both, Naynadine. It's so tough not to buy anthing makeup related. I'm counting down the days until May 2 and it's still two weeks to go.

I tried this look today but it doesn't look nowhere near as good as it does on her: http://www.missnattysbeautydiary.com/2012/06/step-by-step-smokey-taupe-eyeshadow.html
So is the AA release date definitely May2? Will you be stalking online like me, or going to a counter? I can't wait to finally hit that submit button again, lol. I also want something from the Chanel Les Beiges collection which should launch around the same date, so I'll have lots of stalking to do.I'm glad that you enjoyed this look. It's been one of my favourites ever since I got those shadows. Sometimes you can make combos work that you didn't think would work. It's a great way to rediscover some eyeshadows.
I'd say to keep the Nakeds and try them. If it turns out you don't like them, you can always get rid off them. Don't be too quick in purging something! It can come back and bite you in the butt (been there, done that).

That's what I was told when I called my local Douglas but I wouldn't put my finger on it. We all know how "well informed" some Douglas employees are.I will!

Thanks!That's what I was told when I called my local Douglas but I wouldn't put my finger on it. We all know how "well informed" some Douglas employees are.If I can make it, I'll ask "my" MAC girl; she usually knows what's up. I didn't ask for the online release, though, because there's no way I'll be stalking online. I'll be at the counter at 10 and see what I can get. I wish you lots of luck for your online stalking and stay strong until the Alluring Aquatic (what do you wanna get?)/Les Beiges relase! As I said - if I can make it to the counter before May 2, I'll ask the MUA about the relase date and let you (and the other German girls) know if it's still May 2.
Oh yeah, you can never trust Douglas. Guess I'll be stalking from the 1st on. I plan to order Siren Song and Golden bronzer, and from Les Beiges the powder with the pink stripe and maaaybe the kabuki brush as well, if it's re-released with the collection here.
That would be great if you could get more info.
