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

[kerry-jane88]

Skipped Aa and bought a pro palette and insert instead, which are expensive in UK prices! Finished all my depotting, I did evil eye quad, lady grey quad, double feature 5, xmas woodsmoke baby it's cold duo, haunting single and I'd purchased quarry to add to my collex. Sorted them into warm and cool. Some shades idk which one they'd go but theyre fine where they are for now. Got enough depots for b2m, Dunno what lippie to get, any suggestions? My fave mac colours I own are apres chic, barons rose, girl about town, nude rose, and I love wearing cherry and embrace me liners as a full lip colour . Wild card faves of all of you would be appreciated too, as its always good to swatch something unassuming!

Back from vegas, had a blast but the cco at premium outlets North was disappointing to say the least! Managed to spend money nonetheless and am allowing myself some online purchases with what money I had left over! Missed you all, hope life is goodforyouall!

Had the same experience this weekend! Went to my first CCO and it was NOT what I was hoping for. Still bought a few things though! What did you get?

From the CCO the only thing I got was a Bumble & Bumble hair spray! Disappointed in the MAC selection and quality, mostly well-used, broken, sad-looking product. Nothing I was eager to get my hands on. What about you?!

The palettes are stunning! They're 150€ in Germany, though, which is why I haven't bought the cool one (and I doubt I ever will considering the price). I can imagine that they are even more expensive in the UK. But good for you that you were able to skip Alluring Aquatic and got these pretties instead.

My favourite permanent MAC lipsticks are Hot Gossip (love, love, love), On Hold, Patisserie, and Brave. Your taste seems to be very different to mine. Have you thought about Impassioned or Rebel? These two are quite stunning (swatched them a lot, lol).


I'm not doing so good at the moment when it comes to buying. As I've already written I spent 190€ on the Alluring Aquatic collection and one Dior lipstick and I could buy everything I see. That stupid store still has 40% off and Dior's Lucky or Boy by Chanel are the next ones on my wishlist and if I think about getting them for about 19€ each instead of 30€, I'm having a little makeupgasm.

Oh these aren't the pre made warm and cool pro palettes - they're ones i've filled myself with single eyeshadows and quads i laready had that i depotted
as yeah the pre filled palettes at £65 would have been too big an indulgence atm

but yes if i hadnt skipped AA then i wouldnt have been able to buy a palette to do the depotting, which was very satisfying indeed!

i already have brave, not so keen as it looks a bit grey on me
rebel was the one lipstick id go to pick up everytime i looked at the lipsticks so i made sure i got that one last year!

i'll be adding patisserie and impassioned onto my swatch list though thanks

money off offers and discounts are usually my downfall for overspending :/
chanel boy is pretty but the staying power of the coco shines is really dissapointing - i have fetiche and its essentially a tinted shimmery lipbalm

Yeah, stuff was dirty and used and just all around gross in there! I think there were only two TF makeup products. I purchased 2 of the EL Pure Color Blush shades I didn't already have.

Oops, sorry, they look so similar to the new palettes, though. Must've been a lot of work to depot all of them.

Boy is actually one of the only lipsticks I really used up and it's one of my alltime favourites but I've not gotten around to repurchase it, don't even know why. I'll see if I can afford it later that month because that discount is still on until the May 17, so there's plenty of time to think about it.

Good luck on finding a new lipstick and let us know which one you got!

Yeah they do look similar! it's a good reminder that I've got good enough dupes in my stash Ah that's good you've a while to think it over, rushing a decision is the worst. Though if it's a staple for you it's not so bad, boy is a pretty colour that's for sure.

Yesterday's look... NARS Sheer Glow in Siberia OCC Skin Conceal in R0 NARS eyeshadow primer MAC Mystery + Smut (brows) Maybelline Great Lash in Clear (brow gel) Prestige Total Intensity Mascara in Jet Black Urban Decay Smoked Palette - I used Barlust on the lid and Freestyle to blend it out in the crease. I don't think I've ever worn Barlust before, and I've barely touched Freestyle. I think Barlust is a bit too reddish-brown on me. That said, I'm reminded of why I initially bought the palette: mostly neutral colours with shots of colour to incorporate (also: extremely travel-friendly). I may focus on this palette this month. :nods: Sephora 12hr Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in 5th Avenue - I bought this because I wanted a smaller version of my MUFE Aqua Shadow pencil in 4E, and I found that these two are virtually identical. And truth be told, I think I prefer this to MUFE's. OCC Creme Colour Concentrate in John Doe - I use this as a cream contour. Applied with a brush it looks a dream. I really like this formula, and I can easily see myself getting more of these to use for different purposes. MAC Blush in Pink Cult - Don't remember if I wrote my thoughts on this one. Very pretty, but probably may not have been the best choice to pair with my contour. NYX Round Lipstick in Thalia - Love the formula and the plummy tones of this.

HG, don't mean to pry, but what could Bert possibly want to say? Does he want to stay friends or something?

darling Ajigglin.. I have a suspicion he wants me to forgive and forget. I went down that road once.. and he did it again. How stupid do I look? (don't answer that).. lol. Seriously, he thinks he can do what he wants just cause I am not there.. and that's been his MO forever. He has been married 2x and has had numerous relationships. Mine was nothing special to him obviously.. and I am getting to the point where I would turn to him as a Dr. but never again as a man, or as a friend.

I have the deep conviction that friends are to be trusted.. not to stab you in the neck when you can't be looking.

So whatever he wants.. he ain't gonna get.

@SleepingBeauty I have been neglectful in telling you how sweet your words of support are and how much I appreciate them! I have been running around like crazy and will not settle in until the weekend.. but taking advantage of the opportunity now: thank you!

A calm stance and a nonchalant demeanor. Nothing else. Nothing less and nothing more. I'm so curious as to what he's going to say! Sending u a crapload of strength and superhuman insensitivity for Tomo!!!!! (I should kno I work for health insurance)

Does honesty/trust/commitment mean nothing to people? I never get that. See/fuck whoever you want - just don't think that we'll be sitting at home waiting for you to come by and grace us with your presence once you're done.

His loss. Really. Although I'm sorry for your pain. I'd tell you that he's not worth it but you already know that and it doesn't make it easier anyway. Sending good karma your way.

Thank you dear AudreyC... I appreciate it. Yes, he is a scoundrel used to getting his way but he is in for a happy surprise this time. This female is not buying whateverthehellcrap he's selling..

I should add that this horrible confrontation tomorrow has made me lose lots of weight, my skin and boobies sagged and well.. I am no longer what he wants

thank you darling.. look at me, I am skin and bones from my

I will report in tomorrow night..

I decided I need to do something about my skin, although I hate trying new products since my skin is so sensitive, but I'll give an Avene cream a try which I ordered. Don't know a thing about AHA, BHA, whatever, but I think it's what I need. Will only try it on my chin for now.

@Debbs Hugs to you! You always look radiant and glowing in your pics and you are one of the sweetest people ever, I hope things will get better for you soon! #TeamDebbs

I'm laughing about the ''vomitting on his Ferragamos'' line since yesterday.
Glad to hear you're staying strong!
