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

[ILoveMakeup84]

thanks for the support! it's probably not a realistic thing for me to go cold turkey anyway! yes, i have been generally good...only a few purchases, and not LE frenzy purchases either...I'm going to enjoy the things i bought rather than feeling guilty about it. which blush did you end up getting? I hope you are enjoying your well-deserved reward as well!!!

Yaay! So glad you are enjoying your new goodies I originally ordered Ocean City but got Sunset Beach instead :/ I did get a refund which is good but still it was a bummer lol

so bizarre. Yeah, it's nice that you didn't lose anything in the process...but it seems like they made an extreeeeemely small quantity of those blushes considering how quickly they went!

Eyemazing April Tues 29th: mua clear mascara I had applied brown mascara with some shu uemura pencils, but my face is so irritated I had to wipe it all off. Been using Johnsons face wipes recently, maybe they're the reason my face is on fire.

johnson and johnson aren't very good for sensitive skin. i can only speak of their baby products but I have stopped using them completely as both my kids had reactions from them.
if you use plain wipes, my best suggestion is kirkland brand from costco. they make regular baby wipes (which i use daily) and they make makeup wipes which i haven't tried but i hear they are great. I also use the babies r us brand (sold at toys or babies r us). i'm suggesting these as my son was very super sensitive to everything so i know these work best. the "sensitive' ones from either brand have that extra greasy feeling. i don't like them but you might.
i just use the regular on me, they are quilted and take off all my makeup with one wipe. love both brands equal.

I'm worried I might have opened the floodgates, because till yesterday I hadn't even been the slightest bit tempted to go chase the recent collections when they were released, as I would have pre-lowbuy.

i don't think you should be so hard on yourself. you are on a low buy and you've probably done 10x better since before you started so be proud of all you stopped buying, instead of focusing on the few things you did. i think we all need a treat from time to time. just be careful it doesn't suck you back in.

thanks for the advice! im in the uk and my nearest costco is ages away though,
i was using tesco value ones and they were fine for taking the bulk of makeup off before cleansing,
i used my sisters johnsons wipes and got suckered in by how soft they were!

I agree, although I do feel as though browsing the new collection thread, I find stuff I might not of looked at lol. But I haven't gotten much this year, so proud of that. But thanks too all you ladies for making me feel welcome in the group! I've always been on Specktra awhile and took a brake from posting, then kinda posted whenever. Now I've been back regular, hopefully I'll start using my goodies more.

I've officially unsubbed from the AA collection.

I bought what I wanted and a couple more items, I don't need anymore temptation.

Done with the collection, time to move on.

Honestly, I was really surprised by it. It isn't at all a colour I would usually go for and I don't have anything similar to it at all in my collection, but I really like it. It's super pigmented, the swatch I showed you was I think 2-3 swipes, so it really impressed me.

Yes. I honestly don't think the description is at all accurate. It doesn't seem at all pink to me.

The only reason I am still subscribed to that thread is for Mystical. It looks like a nice everyday color.
