I still want hoochie, I own nsfw queen and nylon... I kinda like I believe it was grandma when I went to sephora and I agree I love how cute they're packaged I want the little brush... I bought one from target the Sonia kashuk brand and it works well for the liptars

this sums up my internal dialogue pretty well....!
i've been wondering why i can't stop myself, not only from buying makeup, but for wanting so much in the first place! i think i really need to be strategic about any further acquisitions...LOL...

I caved. My declaration of no makeup until Black Friday only lasted a few hours. I got Digitalis, RX and Chlorophyll.
I tried on the rest of the Lip Tar colors. I'm very happy with all of them. Grandma and Melange are a lot prettier than I thought they would be. Melange is a pretty neutral peach-brown. Grandma reminds me of a darker and more coral Reel Sexy. Stalker is a gorgeous red and Strumpet is perfection. No regrets!
Looks like I can try that Strumpet and RX combo after all, sss215.

I found it's a great help to make an organized inventory of what products i have, along with the month and year each was purchased. That way i can see if i have a lot of a certain color and hold off buying more unless it's something really special. Or if there's a gap that needs to be filled. Or i can see that i accidentally bought multiples of exactly the same item and not make the same mistake a 3rd time - I don't generally get back-ups, because i like a lot of variety in what i wear.
Mascaras, for example, are supposed to be tossed after 4 to 6 months. I confess i'm still using one 2-year-old brown-black mascara (a hard to find color), but it also means i rarely buy mascara, because i have a clear idea of what i have. I am not tempted to get every new wonder-mascara that gets written up until i throw out some of the older ones i have.
Powder eyeshadows and blushes (hi-liters/bronzers) last for years as long as one uses clean brushes on them. I have some e/s from the 1970s that are still fine, although back then e/s were awfully chalky / talc-y.
On the other hand, lipsticks and other creme products go rancid and liquid products (like foundation) go bad. So there's no real use not wearing a beloved lipstick after a year or so of hoarding it in your stash, because you need to get your best wear of it before it spoils. Most liquid products are supposed to be chucked out in a year, although if you keep it in a cool dark place and don't put dirty fingers or brushes into it, it can last a bit longer.
With my inventory i can go through my stash and pull out old stuff to wear before it spoils, or toss what's getting rancid or going bad or likely full of bacteria.

Very good advice. I keep a similar inventory list for my makeup. Sadly, it doesn't stop me from purchasing and wanting more makeup. But my will power is nil at this point.

I'm far more Obsessive-Compulsive! I keep everything sorted by color family and mostly by type.
For example, i have one box of FUCHSIA, PLUM, PURPLE, LILAC, and VIOLET lip products.
They're sorted into baggies (hey, it ain't pretty but it works for me) :
Baggie 1. - Blue VIOLET and PURPLE and PLUM (dark purple) LIP LINER PENCILS
Baggie 2. - Blue VIOLET and LILAC LIPSTICKS
Baggie 3. - Blue VIOLET and LILAC LIP GLOSSES
Baggie 4. - PALE PALE PURPLE and FUCHSIA LIPSTICKS & LIP COLOR PENCILS
Baggie 5. - PALE PALE PURPLE and FUCHSIA LIP STAINS & LIP GLOSSES
Baggie 6. - PURPLE LIPSTICKS
Baggie 7. - PLUM (dark purple) LIPSTICKS & LIP COLOR PENCILS
Baggie 8. - PURPLE and PLUM (dark purple) LIQUID LIP COLORS & LIP GLOSSES
Each baggie holds between 10 & 14 items.
I have 3 boxes of lip products and 4 boxes of eye products, all sorted. The face stuff is also sorted, but stored a little differently because of bigger pans and taller bottles.

With that mindset, I'm sure you'll be just fine.thank you cartoonchick! It will work out eventually I don't have many more classes left , so I can still do it without any aid, but the aid would have helped but I won't let that stop me( I'm going for radiology technology to be an X-ray tech)
