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

[Starlight77]

@HerGreyness and @Audrey C

i got it, i'm weak. i read 30th anniversary edition. saw pics that would work with my skin tone. I told hubby and he said just buy it. he also can't complain he got a playstation 4 plus games for father's day so my little purchase was actually less than his tax on his LOL
So for AA just getting 1 lipstick and 1 lipgloss now. that's it for me with summer collections. i really don't want anything else. maybe.. that patent polish pencil from the Osbourne's depending on swatches.

audrey, where did you get yours from? Sephora?

YAY I AM!! i shall begin working out in 3 days time lol How is Italy? have i told you how very jealous I am? ohhhh it's a dream to go there.

i blame Audrey, i was trying to talk her out of it and talked me into it instead LOL (just kidding Audrey) i also have MAC Sun Dipped but i don't care for it hopefully this one will suit me better.

I seriously need to quit blushes. i tried to break free from lipsticks and i did it successfully but i turned to blushes/powders instead. i need to take my addictive personality and focus on something cheaper and more practical.

lol.. you sound like me and Elegant.. I always blame her for my sins.. haha.

but in truth, it's a quality item.. and it will last a long long time. Frankly it's better to buy blushes than lipsticks / gloss. they love you long time.. lol. i have blushes that are over 4 years old.. and more. And are perfect. Lipstick on the other hand, will get rancid and smelly and crayola looking..so don't stress about blushes.

something cheaper? good grief.. i was just adding up my tab for blouses, skirts, shoes, bags.. and hell, I want to rationalize it, but I cannot. Oh well, what's done is done.


This old cockroach will be well dressed till she gets hit by Raid and then maybe still get up and put on her Prada shoes.. lol...

the most practical thing for us as women is to feel proud we are women

I want I need I want that soooooooo badly its stunning it really took my breath away

ohhh elegant's swatches get me in trouble. i have to avoid the Chanel thread. she makes everything look so beautiful and makes me want it lol

you're right. nothing is cheaper. i tried doll collecting for my baby daughter, i was getting into wayyy too much trouble to fast. why can't i be addicted to saving money! ohh that would be so awesome.

Good going Anna!.. WTG ! especially where you are, and with import restrictions, your friend should be very happy!

@Audrey C Thank you dear Audrey for your support and kind words -- honestly I am still hurting but life goes on and if anything I have proven myself to be a survivor.. so this too shall pass. I am happy for Bert.. he will see me someday and think how dumb he was. He let his dick rule his brain, and that is really the most important thing any man has to be able to control. For all his good looks and professional sucess he is a failure at life. I however am like the proverbial cockroach.. I will survive and will thrive

As for your hubby and gift.. ENJOY! hell, it's one life and it's NOW! It's a great product!

@PixieDancer thank you darling.. you are always the biggest and mostest cheerleader for us in low buy.. (cough). And your kind words and advice are always very much appreciated. Many hugs.. xoxoxel

all my lowbuy ladies! @Rainbunny @Liba @Ajigglin

lots of hugs and many thanks for your kindness and well wishes.. \

@Naynadine ... love you girl.. ! how are your eyebrows? lol.. I may need you someday to do a waxing job.. lol

I am off to Rome in the morning.. driving down to see the Mass of the Century... yes, me, the heathen will be purefied.. not putrefied.. lol

xoxox

Don't they all...

I've yet to find one who doesn't.
If he is smart he will regret it. You will be fine without him. Who knows, maybe you'll even find a hot and passionate Bertolino in bella Italia to take your mind of things.

I heard they have the bushiest brows of all.

My brows aren't doin a thing. Same as always. But I didn't use the oil for the last 1-2 weeks, I have to get back to using it regularly.

 

[User38]

You're a doll!


Woot!!


Thanks I should be able to get Nyx online and it shouldn't be expensive either, although not as cheap as in the US.

lol @Bertolino.. he sounds like a dumb ass anyway.. lol. bushy brows and all. i have dated crazed italians.. we fought to use the mirror.. lol.

Why are you up? I am exhausted and hitting my bed now.. lol.

use the oil religiously.. think of it as annointing the brows so you grow one big unibrow

oh, I have done that too.. it's a lot of work. I buy stocks.. and did some trading to save my ass in the collapse of 2008.. but now I just have a nice portfolio which I look at once a day and that's that. It's a way to save.

buy gold!.. seriously... it's down now..

thank you doll.. you are so lovely! I hope he suffers.. lol. But, life has a great equalizing effect.. it's called Karma.

lol, I know that too well.
Since the noro virus my sleep pattern is all messed up again. I've had problems with insomnia before, I wake up a lot, and I'm a night owl anyway, lol. Have to get back into a healthier rhythm again.
Will work on the unibrow. Now I'm thinking I should try a lash serum as well, I realized my lashes are probably worse than my brows.

 

[lyseD]

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! post swatches too HAHA

Well, it's on the way. You and Pixie were supposed to talk me DOWN, girl! Did you miss the memo?

No swatches for a bit, of course…but here's the pic. I'm thinking I could probably swish across to get mostly bronzer and then hit the sides for colour for the apples of my cheeks. It's pretty swatched together too, or in a half circle that captures either the orange or the pink.

That might be the most gorgeous powder ever. Enjoy it, it is truly lovely.

Driving out of state. But a quick update. I'm officially bored of naked 3. I might not make it to day 6 because I rather do a no makeup day. What the heck happened?

 

[mosha010]

And yea I tried. I even did several looks one day. And maybe I'm not creative enough. Maybe it's me.

It's definitely the palette.

 

[Audrey C]

I'm sitting online smiling at pictures of my beautiful bronzer, and wondering how long it will take Sephora to get it here. Not that I'll get my mitts on it before MD. But I might be able to sneak it out of the package and fondle it unbecomingly.

On the upside, my once craving for one of the AA bronzers is beyond dead. Those teal cases are cute, but there's no contest. Also, I'm pleased to have successfully resisted the Dior - I really don't need it. Even though it's beautiful.

 

[ma146rina]

Nah, it'll be fine when used with a light hand. Look at these pics:

Now, the rest of you cover your eyes!!!!

I didn't cover my eyes,damn....I WANT IT

Bronzers are my weakness....

it's not you. i loved it when i bought it. i'm unsure why all of a sudden it's so dull and boring. the more i stare at it the more all the colors look the same. there are a few colors i like a lot but half the palette (to me) sucks. i'm unsure if i'm going to keep it or CB it. i'm going to hold off and try it again in a few weeks because right now, it has no chance at all lol

i can't say much for the other 2 palettes i bought them all excited and i started palette hoarding and forgot about them. i don't wear colors but i need some kind of pop or i get bored. these palettes bore me. i do love my too faced chocolate bar palette and the LM artist palette (2nd one). at least i no longer buy palettes to just own them.

same with me! i wanted the AA Golden bronzer more because of the packaging but after hearing it having some shimmer (even if it's light) i won't use it as much. As soon as i read 30th anniversary there was no going back. i'm a sucker for that stuff. the packaging sold me on it. i was fine til someone *cough cough* showed more pictures. i'm so not waiting til mother's day. i told my husband he can have the kids wrap the box. honestly i can imagine my 5 year old coming to me "mommy here's your present but i dropped it and it broke. sorry." ohh no way. empty box please LOL

i did not successfully resist the Dior.. got hit 3 times this month alone. no regrets. Dior was always my splurge. it was buying MAC's LE stuff and ending up not using it because i bought into the hype and bought stuff i'd never use. i'm not doing as well as i'd like but i'm so doing better!!
