yeah yeah you said that about AA too.. lol.
you and Pixie are in cahoots
lol - all these years on Specktra has made me come to two conclusions:
lol - all these years on Specktra has made me come to two conclusions:
#1: If they say they're skipping a collection entirely, the number of things they actually buy will be in direct counter proportion to the amount of outrage and disgust for the collection displayed before it came out.
#2: When they ogle a lipstick before there are any swatches or one crappy instagram snap with a filter all over it, the more they will hate it and never wear it in proportion to how much they drooled over it before they ordered it at 3am in a crazed stalker session.
Hahhahahhaaaahhaaaa! TRUTH is right! LOL
the truth and nothing but the truth
if you're gonna do it, no point in beating yourself up about it after the fact.here here...
is it ok that i don't even feel bad about it?
I wasn't that bad.
Hahaha so true! I'm not really sure what I'm doing in this thread.... I think I got lost on the way to the Osbourne's thread...
I agree about AA. I got Enchanted One because I have nothing like it (I used to not like nudes).I wasn't that bad.Just 2 itmes more than planned - which were on my wishlist, but I didn't plan to get them this month. I still feel like a proud low-buyer and I'm waving over to you guys sitting in your chair.
:haha: I will try really hard to not buy any makep next month, just some skincare that is nessecary. To be honest, I'm a little surprised that people go crazy over AA, it doesn't seem that great of a collection to me... besides the packaging.
I love, love, love this collection. I love EDES, they are amazing to me.I wasn't that bad.Just 2 itmes more than planned - which were on my wishlist, but I didn't plan to get them this month.

I am looking good for upcoming collections as well. 3 things from MB, 3 things from Osbournes, maybe 1/2 things top from Pedro. Skipping Pure Heroine.I wasn't that bad.Just 2 itmes more than planned - which were on my wishlist, but I didn't plan to get them this month.

I honestly felt the same way about AA at first... Not really sure what happened! LOL
I can say if these products had been regular shadows, I wouldn't have gone so crazy. But that ED formula really sucks me in. And I have never been disappointed in a single ED product I've purchased. And then they had to introduce those new ED bronzers, and I wasn't sure which one to get... so both made it home to me. Nothing on its own seemed all that special. I guess it was the overall impact (based largely on the packaging & formula)that did me in.

For June I'm going to do another "focus on this palette" thing. It'll be UD Naked, so I can finally make a decision on whether to keep it or list it.
I also need to make decisions regarding my two Sleek palettes (Bad Girl and Ultra Mattes Darks). Bad Girl has some colours I love, but I just don't reach for it. Ultra Mattes Darks also has some great colours, but they're very difficult to blend.
That is just all wrong---toofy gone and hair in flames<peeks in>
hair goes up in flames and runs out
It feels good cleaning a little lol Also OT but can you B2M Viva Glam lipsticks?
I've been AWOL for a while, got behind while I was on my anniversary trip to Paris (fabulous, BTW) and I hate posting when I'm not caught up 'cos then I lose my place and I have a total thing about reading eeeverything lol. Finally read all the way up to date so I can post again! Looks like quite a few of you have been going through a rough time, can't begin to quote all of you so I'll just give huge ((((hugs)))) to everyone. I was very good in Paris, despite dragging the hubs into Sephora I didn't buy anything! Bit overwhelming really. But I did use the chance to swatch a few things (the Marc Jacobs foundation, for one) for potential future purchases. I have made a few purchases since I was here last. Like a lot of others I fell for AA quite hard. I always knew it would be a tough one for me, as I love the ED formula. I almost have to force myself to reach for any other blushes these days, and I use the shadows a lot when I'm in a hurry and want a quick look. I didn't buy blind though, waited until I could swatch and make an informed decision. A couple of things that tempted me but I was on the fence about kept looking better and better in other people's swatches, but I resisted the urge to go back for a second pass, which is definitely an improvement over past behaviour. My AA haul - 1 lipstick (GotS), 3 EDES (SS, SW, FD - all gorgeous and unlike anything else in my collection), 1 EDB (SMHM) and the compact. I did literally buy it for the compact, don't care about the product, but it was paid for with loyalty points not real money anyway. I'm planning to switch it out with a blot powder to carry with me, and the bronzer itself will probably go in my swap list. I also got 2 items from Proenza Schouler (Mangrove which is OMG amazing and I think I need to wear again tomorrow! and SB) and a Dior Fluidstick. I really like the Dior, but none of the other colours in the range appeal to me, so I'm happy to stick with 1. Then I had a splurge at SpaceNK when they had their summer GWP event, the gift is freaking amazing. It was all planned purchases, mostly skincare I needed that I'd been holding off buying until this event. The two MU items I bought were also ones I'd been waiting to buy for an age - got my first Hourglass Ambient Blush (Luminous Flush) and the Nars Light Reflecting Powder. I realised that the only loose powder I had was a drugstore one that was 5+ years old, so no qualms about binning that to make room for a better replacement! It really is better too, amazing in fact. I've barely worn foundation this week, but even on bare skin the LRP makes such a difference. Sounds like quite a bit when I write it all out like that, but everything I mentioned has gone into regular usage and getting plenty of love, and overall for the year so far I'm doing pretty well. Out of my main permitted items, I have purchased: 5/12 Mac lipsticks 0/2 glosses 3/24 eyeshadows (think I can safely cut that limit down to 12!) 2/6 Mac blushes 1/4 Dior items which is not bad for this stage of the year. The only real failure is the catch-all allowance I had for 'other' items, I have already used all 6 slots. What I've realised looking over the list is that 4 out of those 6 were drugstore items that I maybe used once and then haven't touched since. I always tend to go for a higher end product, so the lesson there is no more d/s items 'just to try' because they're cheap, unless I know for sure I'll love and use it I can't buy. Skipped Patent Polish, By Request, Studio Sculpt, & Maleficent. Still waiting for Playland to lauch here, and I think that will be a 2-3 item purchase (all l/s), so within my 3 per collection limit. Pedro I will get one or two of the glosses (assuming it releases here) as those are unique enough to be worth using my gloss 'allowance' up on. I thought the Osbournes, especially Kelly, would be a real problem for me, but at the moment it looks like I can easily stick to 3, and I might even be able to skip completely. Unsure about Lorde, if it's online only I'll skip as I want to swatch. Moody Blooms is the next thing that's looking dangerous. Eek, sorry for the epic post, that's what happens when I don't post for 6 weeks! Promise it won't happen again *slaps own wrist*
