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

[Starlight77]

where can i get one of these magic lights you speak of. one that makes wrinkles and discoloration disappear. ohhh wouldn't that be amazing? LOL i think A LOT more MUA remove their negative comments, i can't believe he blocked you though. that's a bit drastic.


Omg we have a Long Island chapter!!!! Go on the Facebook page for NYC jeep club or go to nycjeepclub.com. It's def family oriented, we do trips that mostly the boys go alone (and me lol) that are of higher difficulty and you're supposed to concentrate while driving cause rock crawling ia very technical ... But our summer trips are all family oriented and everyone brings their family, dogs, babies etc and we have a very family oriented BBQ at the end of the day, stuff for the kids to do etc... Look it up! Say EMMA sent you ;p

oh yay! i totally will! i'd probably wait for summer and do the family trip as i won't leave my kids and my son would love it just as much. so excited to finally go. i always forget, it's usually in june i think.

I want one of these magic lights too.

The thing with Goss tbh, is there's no evidence he even IS an MUA. He's never shown any of his pro work, you never see his pro work around. Just ridiculous spending & youtube videos. People like Lisa Eldridge and Charlotte Tilbury are known and you can find their work online easily. I've read several magazines where Lisa has done the cover make-up but Goss is just another wannabe MUA imo. Yes he may know what he's on about, but you never, ever hear of him on jobs or see anything he's done anywhere. I agree though - extremely drastic and childish. His loss, not mine!

Day 3: Dior Rouge Nude in Swan w/Dior Lipgloss Addict in 247 on top  Dior Cannage- My Lady Blush in 002 Pink   Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Day 3 and i'm still complaining. the fallout is horrible, the colors all look the same to me now. I wanted it for limit and nooner which i love both but not worth for this whole palette. still going to stick with it and try to make it work. There are many pretty shades but i don't know if it's just my palette or not but half seems gritty and crumbly almost. good thing is that it would definitely be easy to get through the shadows quick! lol going to try and google some looks with it and see what those who love it did. I've tried almost all the shadows at this point and the only look that works is strange on the lid, limit and nooner in crease and any of the dark shades in outer corner for a super pretty smokey eye but the other shadows feel more like pressed pigments. maybe i'll try fixed plus with it. anyone else having better luck? i'd love some suggestions on looks that work with it! @mosha010  any better luck?

Nah love. Same here. Day 4: I don't know how long I can stretch out nooner. I like it and also the second to last dark color but at this point I'm bored and I've started to consider using blush as a eyeshadow so I don't break my week challenge lol. It's pretty, yea it's easy to come up with a quick (however very bla) look. Maybe I'm not creative enough? I've used some of the IG "recipes" and tutorials for this palette and it's kinda like the same look over an over. I think that I will work in finding similar colors on my stash so I can CB this and substantiate a collection or something. Tomorrow will be the real challenge because I'm going out and in going to try a darker going out look. So well see.... Honestly so far I'm bored w it.

Babe the first and biggest family trip is may 17-18. Topless jeep day. a lot of us are camping but a lot stay at the nearby hotel and there's discounts. We also have awesome day trips coming up.. But the may trip is huge. We're expecting at least 150 people. There's a meet and greet this Friday at 8pm in queens but the Long Island crew does a separate meeting during the week for everyone not being able to commute to queens.

 

[mosha010]

Oh and I def dampen my brush with some of these. Shadow got inside my contacts the other day and it wasn't pretty

Speaking of Naked 3.

I have it and haven't even swatched it yet. Oops?

 

[CrimsonQuill157]

just read all of your posts, how is paper coming along? anyway we can help from here let me know. we can google! lol

I haven't updated cause I've been writing and going to class - I woke up late this morning and didn't get started til 11, but I managed to finish all five pages by 1pm! With an hour to spare!!

It's not the best paper I've ever wrote, but it's better than nothing.

 

[Ajigglin]

Glad you finished your paper. Something is better than nothing. HG, I'm REALLY sorry to read about the Bert thing. That sucks. Fortunately, Italy is a great place to be to get your mind off a man. Try to continue to have a good time. Hey to the rest of the crew! I've been AWOL from Specktra, period, but I try to check in now and then. I'm coming up on 3 months of unemployment and I'm starting to low-key panic. I do have a gig now reviewing grants, so that will be a stay of execution, but I need a job so that the people in this household can move on with our lives. Everything, down to where we might live, is dependent on where my next job is coming from. So I need answers. Eh. Just typing that out made me weary. Hope you guys are well.

YES YOU CAN!!! Remember... at the end of the day... it's JUST makeup! As lovely or amazing as it seems, within a few weeks, the "newness" will wear off and it will take its rightful place in your stash with all the other once coveted items. So don't panic. Evaluate what you want/need and stick to your list. Try not to get overwhelmed. There is NOTHING THAT unique that it can't be duplicated or bought in the future as a repromote or dupe of the shade/formula. Hang in there! You CAN win!

Amen, sister! Testify! Someone get me my tambourine!

Cleaning out my makeup hoard and really seeing what I don't use and what colors I just don't like (despite everyone saying BUY IT!!!) has really helped me going forward. I don't need to go crazy with the hype and even if I have skipper's remorse in the end, there's always something new around the corner. And b/c I've sold a lot of makeup to de-stash, it makes me not want to fill up all those empty spaces so quickly and undo the work I've done.

 

[ILoveMakeup84]

I sold my Naked 3 to a friend today I liked it but didn't love it. Now I have some extra money I am going to use to pay my PS blush!

HeeHee! I HONESTLY have a MUCH harder time with buyers remorse than skippers remorse. Seeing all the unloved makeup in my stash, full of things I HAD to have... It's sad to me. Things I've skipped, I might think about them for a moment, but as soon as that initial wave passes, I find I'm ok with it... Because you're absolutely right... the next dupe or must have is right around the corner!!
