Argh!! I wish my Anthropologie were open already. I have no idea whan it will, but I hope soooon!! There's two sweaters I want and I can't justify paying over $15 for shipping. I'll be in the Boston area next week, so I hope the Anthropologie I go to there will have lots of great stuff.

I bought Copperbeam before & I still love that shade.

Purrtykitty has me interested in Museum Bronze now

Congrats and good luck! I put strip lashes on someone else for the first time on the weekend so I was freaking, but it was super easy. I had only done the individual ones before, which (turns out) were much harder. Just take your time and remain calm and it'll be a breeze.

You will have to take some pictures for us so we can see your skills!

Hannah good luck studying!

Karin how is work going? I know that you are a working woman now but I miss seeing you around here!

I had a long talk with my boyfriend last night about needing to save more since I am getting close to buying a house/condo. So I have decided that I really need to cut down on MAC for a bit. He suggested I take the rest of the year off from buying MAC and I told him that wouldn't happen in a million years!
smiles.gif
Nice try though! My MAC habit doesn't put me in debt or anything but I am starting to accumulate more than I will ever need. I have also sold a lot of back-ups this year so that has been helpful since I have put most of that money away. I know that I wouldn't be able to be on a no buy until January. There is just no way I would stick with that!

I'll do my best not to be an enabler, but come the holiday collections/sets all bets are off!

Work is going well. I'm tagging along to court again tomorrow - just a little hearing. On Wednesday I'm supposed to tag along for a trial! Otherwise, I'm doing a lot of drafting work (preparing court filings, etc...) which is great for familiarizing myself with what needs to be filed and when.

Katie, have you tried making a monthly spending budget for "fun" items? I know it really helped me get my spending under control. I still feel like I can splurge, but I'm not out of control. Good luck on getting a house. It's such a big step!

September in all honesty I would be okay skipping but once October hits there is no way I would stick to a no buy! With the MSFs, Manish, and Holiday I would seriously go insane if I couldn't get any of those things!

I don't mind you all being enablers! That is just one of the many things I love about you all!

That is a good idea! I have a budget in place but that was from a few years back before I got a promotion at work. Since then I have used the difference in what I used to make and what I make now and put that into savings for a place of my own. I need to start making a new budget though.

Good Evening everyone!

So I've been trying to catch up with the posts, but my thanks button is still really wonky, so I gave up on it for now.

Hannah, Katie, I'm with you on needing to cut down. I quite like Karin's suggestion, because it's much more realistic than a no-buy... been there, tried that, didn't work. And the damn Cherry collection! Grrrr.

So we can try and get through the next few months together while keeping things at a minimum! I for one have really cut down my list for the remainder of the year. For now I'm thinking Soft Rose from Ungaro, two cremesheens and then waiting it out till the Chill collection. It's ambitious, but I generally don't get too excited with the holiday stuff anyway. I'm not crazy about palettes, though I did get the warm eyes palette last year and still quite like it. I think the quads I got from CoC will keep me busy for a while! Oh, and I will be picking up Museum Bronze after trying out Vintage Gold today. I can honestly say this stuff stayed on all day with no creasing at all and only faded a little after 12 hours. I used Benefit Fy eye, then my ArtDeco base and Vintage Gold on top with Blonde's Gold as a highlight. Loooooove Vintage Gold, it is what I wanted all my other olive green shadows and pigments to be, but never quite were. Oh crap, am I enabling?!

Anthropologie doesn't work for me for some reason, they just run way toooo big! 0's are huge and the tops seem kind of flimsy though I did love the designs

I hear ya Katie, the bf and I have been having the very same chats lately. It sucks to be an adult and have to factor in real adult expenses. Im in it with you though, although you can't tell by my CoC hauling, hehe.

Hi to everyone else! Yeah, played hooky today. I am so naughty...

Hope that you had a fun extra day with your boyfriend.

Bunny's FOTDS are amazing! I wish that I could look that flawless!

Does anyone here have the 259 brush? I am just wondering what you use it for. I found this brush in a random makeup bag and I realized that I don't even know what it is used for. I did a search on here and it was sort of helpful. TIA!

Yay! After 5 or so days at my bf's house, I will be home tomorrow! So then I can post up some FOTD's. I don't think they're worthy of an FOTD thread, so I'll just put them up here or in the CoC thread.
