So... 192.50 + tax = $207.42 over the course of 4 months... so an average of $51 per month on makeup this summer... hmm.

Yeah, it might seem like.. overwhelming and fearsome.. but once you get down to it, it's not as much as it might seem? At least it was in my case. Thank you for sharing your list! It sure makes budgeting seem a lot easier!

- I really don't know if there are any other shadows, I need to look over my own shadows and see if they are to close to any of my other ones and if so.. they get cut.. more so if its over what in the end I think is ok.. they are the first thing getting written off


I'll have to edit this down for the price as well as the fact that I dont have enough space for all of this

 

[kobri]

Okay, just thinking about it has renewed my energy for my job search. So many collections so little money!

 

[darkishstar]

bebs: doesn't it feel so satisfying though to think that you start out with this huge list, but you can cut it down when you actually see the collection in person? I know it feels good for me when I can! Good luck on that.

 

[QueenEmB]

All I'm really interested in are the MES's and the maybe a brush set.

I'm trying not to get sucked in by collections as I have so much make-up already - I don't need slight variations on stuff I've already got.

totally,

I highly doubt I'll end up with all of that at once. the only ones that are on my must have list is the pigments.

I know I probably could find them at the CCO's however.. I guess for me I just will get them at the store to save my self the headache and worry of running around (my store is just getting in novel twist) but yeah.. everything else is all up in the air which makes me feel good.

But you're definitely being cost efficient! A great idea if you're short on money is to invest in pigments because one jar lasts forever!
