Yeah! I realized the same thing.

Make-up is pretty much the only thing I spend on...

Totally, depending on how the products are in real life, I can cut some stuff out or switch what become my must-haves you know? I just find it much easier to plan things out like this, so I CAN make these decisions in advance.

Ok, May isn't even over and I already blew my budget

I said I was skipping Neo Sci Fi, and well, I lied.

I got a few pieces today and want a few more. *oops*

Lol, it happens to the best of us!
Didn't I say I would pass on Neo-Sci Fi?
I had my mama get me some instead for my birthday!

So I didn't technically break my budget, but I was hoping Evening Aura would be there for my mom to get for me as well... but they didn't get the shipment in! So... I might have to get that one myself unless I B2M for it.

Wow! you really a pigment/loose eyeshadow kind of person! It's a great investment for the money you are spending. I wish pigments were enough for me!

This is my list, I'm trying to keep to a minimum as I really need to save money right now.

- Neo Sci-fi/Future Earth/Solar Field (£0)
Nothing, hoorah see the self restraint I have.

- Summer Trend Bags (£0)
Don't want any bags!

- Cool Heat (£21.50)
Tropic Glow
Climate Blue

- Colour Forms (£0)
Not available in the UK, can't be bothered with it.

- Tendertones (£10.50)
Sweet Tooth

- New View (£18)
Light/Medium

-Sonic Chic (£30)
Gentle
Gleeful

-Electroflash (£23)
Two To Glow
Fast Thrill l/s

-Overrich (£60)
Blondes Gold
Museum Bronze
Heritage Rouge
Mega Rich

- The Cult Of Cherry (£36)
One lipstick - undecided on colour
Rich & Ripe or Cult Of Cherry
Looks like there is a couple of blushes, I'll get one.

-Starflash Collection (£60)
Grand Entrance
Sunset B
Talent Pool
Lotusland
Mink & Sable
Smoke & Diamonds

- Red She Said
Haven't seen that many photos so undecided for now.

So thats £259 so far , I guess it could be worse and I might end up spending less if I'm in the US when a couple of the collections come out, it will be the August/September ones depending on dates. Plus August 5th is my birthday so I can get some stuff then too and I may B2M on a couple of things, oh and there's that £5 MAC voucher! I would be so much easier to get a few CPs from the US. If anyone would do that, let me know.

This may be super dorky, and I don't know if it helps anyone, but I thought I'd share anyway:

This is especially for collections where Face Charts are also released, mainly because I LOVE Face Charts and like to try them out...

I never buy from collections right when they're released, because I know if I did I'd over-buy.

Instead, what I do is, I make a list of the products in the collection, then I go through them and write down "dupes" that I could use in their place from my own current collection. Then I re-create the Face Charts or looks that I see from people here, etc., using my "dupes" and I see which of the products I already have will work for me in place of the LE items, and which things I still really 'need'.

Then of course I read Specktra religiously which also points out which products aren't so hot vs. are amazing!

Here's an example: I really wanted Solar White from Cool Heat. So, I used White Gold p/g in place of it for about a week and decided that those two were not the same after all and that Solar White was something I really could use-now I have SW and I LOVE it, AND that was the only thing I bought from Cool Heat!

I really hope that helps someone!

well i planned on having my mac pro card sooner because i love mac but dont want to pay so much for make up. i plan on buying:
color forms- both make up brush sets, warm lip palette and the warm eye palette, all 3 lip colors
at my local cco i want to stock up on eye shadow, lip gloss, lipstick and more brushes

I'm skipping everything except:

Neo Sci-Fi
Magnetic fields - $14


Starflash
Grand entrance - $14
Lotusland - $14
Mink & sable - $14
Smoke & diamonds - $14
Top hat - $14

(pre tax) Grand Total: $84

not to bad i don't think! i wish i could say i'm done for the year but i know that's not true. i'm probably going to get petticoat msf when it's re-released, and i'll probably get a cult of cherry makeover, and that's at least $50 right there.
