hello ladies just checking in after a long hiatus!
i only read a few posts here and there in my effort to catch up....there's just too much!
i don't know exactly what the 30 day lipstick challenge was, but i'm assuming we're supposed to wear a different lip combo each day? I'll try to join in for may, assuming there will be some of you carrying on next month too!
over the past six weeks, i managed to get through with (only) a purchase at the Armani counter in Heathrow, and just a few days ago I did a little sephora shopping with a gift card. only two purchases, but still some pretty decent damage!
at armani i picked up a luminous silk foundation, an eyes to kill shadow (3 - gold flecked purple) and a navy eye pencil. it was more than i had intended to purchase...i didn't NEED any of it, and none of it was on my list for the year...but the makeup artist did such a nice job of brightening up my face with just a few simple gestures that i was convinced! i've worn the items a lot since I purchased, so that has helped me justify the purchase. I think I'll make a conscious effort to not buy makeup items unless I have an artist demonstrate them to me....I find often those are the items I use the most from my collection.
at sephora i picked up a black eye pencil and a champagne nail polish from marc jacobs. with the gift card i only ended up paying a balance of $10 on top. i know originally i was hoping to not buy much of anything except mascara and skincare, but i'm glad that even though i acquired a few items, i've managed to resist the mac collections almost entirely. well, summer collection time is almost here, so if i can make it through to there i'll be super pleased!
It kind of bothers me that I want a couple of items from the upcoming MAC collections, but I have skipped so many and also reduced my stash quite a bit, so I guess it's OK.
Hi to all my lowbuy ladies!! I know I have been bad (the Sephora truck hit me in the face and I will pay the piper for it), but it's ok. I can live with it.. I am being bad now too. It's hard not to buy clothes, shoes and handbags in Italy. But will only limit myself to one par (per colour).. lol. miss you guys.. ttyl.:flower: sad new on the Bert front.. it's done, finished and kaput.:weep:
