Ha, oh yeah, that's what I meant, skipper's remorse. Words is hard.

First.. thank you to all the great kids on this thread!
Your kindness and words of support have helped me yet again... and I am on my way to recovery. It might not be today or tomorrow, but I know and will feel better by the time I get back home.
It's amazing how I can be fooled still.. (the old saying comes to mind, fool me once -- shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me). But yes, I admit I was fooled.. and now will learn more new lessons on life.
It's great that I have all my great Spectra ladies to vent and cry.
and, yes.. I have become a very grumpyoldlady.
with big hugs to all, and again, many thanks..
I have lots to tell when I get back, but right now my brain is fogged from too much limoncello.. lol

oh geeze. lol.. I lived there for years.. I love the rain! And am grumpy in hot weather now.. lol.

herGreyness, You are always taking a leap of faith when you decide to give someone a chance with your heart--don't be hard on yourself. Sometimes it just takes time to see someone's true colours. Not being open to someone new is taking a chance too, because you could miss out on something wonderful, so it's a risk either way.

-= 30 Lipsticks 30 =-
14 - Weds 17th - Revlon VIrtual Violet - i'm holding onto this a little longer - MAYBE
15 - Thurs 18th - MAC Sweet Experience - from Playland - KEEPER
16 - Fri 19th - MAC Flamingo - i replaced the lost one (under the heavy dresser) from All About Orange - KEEPER
17 - Sat 20th - ??
18 - Sun 21st - ??
19 - Mon 22nd - saw "Finding Vivian Maier" - fantastic documentary about an unknown photographer.
20 - Tues 23rd - ??
21 - Weds 24th - ??
22 - Thurs 25th - MAC Goes and Goes, a deep blue-violet Pro Longwear Lip Creme - it's rather drying, but i love the color KEEPER
So there's my lost weekend... while i have nothing listed for 5 days, i went through my lipstick boxes, i tried on way more than a dozen lipsticks, and threw away a whole lot - those that smelled rancid or that looked awful on me or were colors i couldn't stand. I haven't been pruning the MAC stuff yet. I may have some things for SWAP when i do. For now, i'm doing the easy part, getting rid of those that aren't worth sharing.

-= Low Buy =-
I consider myself still doing OK on my Low Buy.
From MAC: Nothing in January, 3 things from Fantasy of Flowers in Feb, nothing in March.
Nothing from sephora, even though i do visit the site.
Nothing from Urban Decay's F&F Sale.
A small order from Impulse, an indie cosmetic co. on etsy - less than $20 for 4 items
April hasn't been so virtuous.
Playland : I got 2 lipsticks and 2 lipglasses. I was only going to get the 2 gold ones, but i then got Sweet Experience (mentioned above) and its companion gloss, Lots of Laughs.
Proenza Schouler : I stuck to my list of only the two blushes and one lipstick, Woodrose.
I got a recent order for 4 items from an on-line company that was recommended to me by a MUA. It sells many brands, including some MAC - i hope the stuff's not fake. I got MAC x Gareth Pugh Beauty Powder in Elude, which sure feels real (and the packaging looks like it has been around a while) for around $26, and the discontinued OCC Lip Tar Chlorophyll.
The month of May will be more difficult.
Maleficent : I UNSUBSCRIBED from it - it is just enh.
3D Glitter : I might get some things from the collection, but i might not - i don't really need glitter, as pretty as it is - i can be strong.
MSFN repackage : it's perm, so no rush.
Waterproof Brow : supposedly perm at stand-alone MAC stores, so also no rush.
So why is May going to be difficult? Alluring Aquatic.
Originally i wanted one lipstick, 2 or 3 eyeshadows, and a compact (take out bronzer, use it for something else). 4 or 5 things isn't bad if that's all i get.
But now my list has MORE than TRIPLED to 4 lipsticks, 4 lipglasses, 1 lip pencil, 4 eye shadows, 1 ED bronzer, the (bronzer) compact, 1 nail lacquer (the dark teal), and at least one brush...
I know once i can test things, i won't buy them all. And i know i can set a $$ limit and keep close to it.
But, but, but... a part of me wants ALL the pretty colors, even though i don't need them.
In the past i set myself a $100 limit for LE collections and i stuck close - i do have some skipper's remorse for some items from Fabulous Felines, Semi-Precious, and Venomous Villains. So i can allow myself a little more, since i've been pretty good for 4 months. I'm not tooooo worried.

Stay strong, my sisters and brothers!

I can't recall where she got hers, but I only found these available overseas. Picked mine up at a UK Boots a couple years back. I haven't used it in a while, but it's one of my go-to shades when I was using it. Need to pull that baby back out.

Thanks Yasmin, being that I will be in Paris in less than two weeks , I will scour the pharmacies looking to see if they still sell that product! I looked up swatches and because I love lots of shadows that Pixiedancer does, including our shared love of Vintage Selection, Amber Rush and the EDES from the first collection I was pretty sure I will love this shadow too. I may have to hit up my Canadian buddies!

I've read an excerpt of that and it's incredible. I have the book, but I have to read the entire thing. It completely changed how I view tourism. I would say 'lucky girl to be doing a paper on such a cool book, but alas....a paper is a paper. LOL. Hang in there - I remember those days well!!! xoUnless you've read "A Small Place' by Jamaica Kincaid, I doubt you can help but I really appreciate the offer! I don't have skype, sorry

This last paragraph is SO true! I honestly don't have skipper's remorse for anything. Because you can always find something else that you like. And it's so true about the novelty. After awhile it goes in the drawer and often you forget you have it. The ones that I remember the most are ones that I bought when I only bought occasionally. If I could just stop buying stuff to get that temporary happiness and find something free!
