For me it's overload... The Nars Audacious collection just destroyed me, it was like 40 things I really wanted all at once. And then there were all these mac things that I KINDA wanted but they weren't AWESOME, like the CCs and the spring trend stuff, so I got a couple things, but I'm pretty broke... Plus I got the UD Vice3 and that made me sad that I didn't get Vice1 or Vice2 or the VIB Rouge Exclusive one. And then that made me start worrying about whether I need the two Lorac pro palettes when the MEGA palette is about to come out. I have like less than no money, and I really want an awesome coat for winter. I got one of those oversized pink wool coats that are apparently in right now, but I want something more fitted, double breasted with a hood... It's just A- I spent too much already, B- There's too much stuff I "want" but I'm wishy-washy about it, and C- Too long of a wait for the stuff I'm REALLY excited for, like Mac's matte lip collection. Oh and even the Nars lipsticks are permanent, so they don't really create that frenzy... I know they'll restock... Even though I already bought 13 of them... (So disturbing lol). I still need Catherine, Dominique, Vanessa, Liv and Natalie.  This helped a little though, I busted out one of my CCs from Playland I haven't used since spring and I got my Naked3 palette out and I used colors I almost never use (I seriously only use like 3 colors from any given palette) and it made me feel happy. Like it helped to pull out some stuff I never use and remind myself why I hoard makeup in the first place :) I even wore a perfume I had never worn before (just a little sephora sample). So that's what I recommend. Here's a pic of my new look with colors I never use!

I think you're probably right on the overload bit, when Mattes was first announced I was excited and now seeing all this stuff I want all coming out within days of each other and so close to hoilday time it's freaking me out a bit I think. Finding new-old items is so fun and really feels like you've just gotten new stuff. You look beautiful in your pics!

I'm so sorry to everyone who's having problems. This seems to be a really rough time of year.

I don't know where else to post this. I don't know where to turn. But I've been having suicidal thoughts. I've been having them since I was 11 but they're really bad right now. I was driving the other day and it was all I could do not to veer off the road and drive into something. I'm having a horrible day today and it's like one second I'm okay and the next I just want to end it. I don't know what to do. I went to the heath clinic on campus and they weren't that helpful. And I don't want to go to the hospital because they hold you for 72 hours with no contact from anyone.
Hey, sorry for answering quite late, but your post really touched me.
I don't know if I can completely understand what you're going through, I only know that about two months ago I was also very desperate. The last year was not so easy for me since I started university and had to go through a lot of difficulties.
I've lost many of my old friends due to the fact that I've moved to another town and I've lost some because we had some kind of fight. My best friend who has always been there for me kinda changed during the last year and I just can't put up with her anymore. Our friendship ended last year in December and I am still some kind of mad at her. Back then she didn't text me anymore and only went out and met with other friends. I told her that I want her to do things with me as well and not only meet with other people and ignore me - that's when we had our "silent fight". She didn't even say "happy bithday" to me, when I had my bd - I know she did that on purpose.
I've gained some new friends but it just isn't the same. Sometimes I feel so alone, like I have no one to talk to. A girl needs a best friend she can talk to and turn to when she has got problems - I don't have such a friend. I never really had such a friend. I have my boyfriend and I'm so glad he's there for me but sometimes I just feel alone still.
So two months ago I had many exams, some of them didn't go well and I was so desperate, I started to sink into self doubts and felt like I couldn't do anything right.
I felt like I was the reason for losing all my friends, I felt like I was just a horrible person not able to keep any friendship alive and not able to do my exams or just anything.
I wanted to run away go somewhere on my own and just try to breathe and think about everything, I was about to go to a psychiatrist - I was a human wreck at that time.
After some time things became a little better and now I am doing okay again.
I just wanted to tell you that it was very brave of you to open up to us and write down how you feel. I hope that what I just wrote gives you some kind of support or at least shows you that you're not alone, we all have our problems maybe that's one of the reasons we started collecting make up - sometimes it makes things a little better, makes us happy at some point and helps us to forget some of the things around us.

I just saw your post. I'm very sorry you are going through this.. you're not alone. So many more people deal with these thoughts and feelings than we think. I know I've struggled with similar issues in the past, and I know others who have and have overcome them as well. I'm sorry that the clinic wasn't helpful for you.. I wish there was more of a focus on holistic mental health in our culture. But there are other places to turn.. talking to someone or even reading information online can be helpful sometimes. I hope you find the comfort and support to help you cope.. I'll be thinking about you.

I'm feeling the same way Naomi! I think I need to try new brands or something to get excited again. Maybe Bobbi Brown and Kat Von D. I've never tried either!

You look picture perfect.

That could be it as well, I've been pretty exclusive to MAC lately and have kinda ignored other brands. Maybe I should go elsewhere for awhile.
