Resolution "LOW-BUY" 2014! Who wants to play?

[Audrey C]

I don't even own 30 lipsticks at this point, so this isn't the challenge for me! I'm still busy getting to know my Inglot shadows better. I'm going to continue trying to use them more for the rest of the month. I'm glad everyone is pulling out their long-forgotten treasures. I need to have all of makeup easily visible or I know I'd never end up using what wasn't within reach.

I think I have the original.. lmao it sucked the first time too:haha:

I actually liked it pretty well. Granted I don't have terribly high expectations for drugstore lipstick but I liked it well enough. Dad saw it and said "your lips look orange!" If he saw my REAL orange lipsticks at home he'd flip his top lol.

Lip of the day and mini reviews  :flower:   Hopefully I'll be coming across some that can be purged! Day 1:  Estee Lauder Crystal Baby (very pretty but sheer, I like that different liners can go with it and change up the look) Day 2:  Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy in Desirable.  (My new favorite l/s and formula, feels like my Tom Ford) Day 3:  B&BW Guilty Peach Tart lip gloss (I love their l/g tubes, they don't dry out my lips like most lip products do and they taste so yummy!)

You have me so curious about the Estée Lauder lipstick in desirable and the pure color envy formula in general. Can you show a swatch of it and/or pic of you wearing it?

Too funny! I do this too!

I do that not only with make up but clothes, shoes, etc especially when I'm in Target.

Boo for the rude SA! But yay for the getting the palette

Thanks! I don't have Quarry yet, I think I need to add it to my wish list.

Definitely get Quarry! Hands down one of my favorite and everyday shades

I haven't done so well this year so far but I am happy to see none of the new collections are interesting me until the summer one in May.

Anyone else finding it easy to pass up on MAC in April?

MAC really hasn't tempted me much recently - it's really just been lipsticks for me for the last bit (Huggables, Studded Kiss, Morning Rose and a couple of BTM) with the exception of a couple of CCO items. I'm not seeing anything in the upcoming collections that I want either, although the summer collection might change that; it's usually my favourite. I've worked hard on trimming and now I'm not overly keen on adding something without taking something else I have out of my stash.

It's insanely cold. I want at least 55 degrees !!!

It's gonna be in the 50's on Saturday!! Yay!!

I want the ombré pink blush. That's it. I'm waiting for maleficent!

I love greens, but I don't think I could wear them all month. I'm impressed you made it this long!

Yeah it kinda sucks. I'm done on Monday. It's cliniques ivy so it's a very dark green. You can't tell unless super close and it's just on waterline. Still I'm so over green. Don't care if it's done, I'm done with it LOL Edited: my fun phone auto corrects everything it's annoying but at least it's in English now lol

Don't want to enable anyone but my mum got me one of the pure color envy lipsticks in the shade Potent (lovely peachy pink) and I really love the colour and formula, I featured it in my last video. They're creamy and comfortable to wear and very pigmented!

I already messed up my habit streaker-I didn't realize that the questions were to be asked in such a way so that the answer is yes. I've been saying no no no for a week and the habit streaker was like, "you suck." Womp Womp. I "completed" that task and asked the question correctly. Back to zero I go...

 

[kait0]

I didn't buy anything for 12 days which considering the streak I was on, is pretty good Broke it today, but just bought one item - Viva glam V - soo beautiful and a good cause

Edited to add - I just bought Innocence Beware like 30 mins ago ha very excited.

 

[singer82]

The new Radiant Orchid l/s...yay or nay? Didnt wear what I was planning on. Ended up doing a bright pink and purple eye look so I used the gareth pugh Vacant lipgloss. Forgot how much I love it!

 

[PixieDancer]

Sorry I'm so late w my lipstick... Airport travel all day! Ugh! Day 3: I wore RiRi Woo w/ Cherry lip liner.

 

[charlotte366]

Day 1: L'Oreal Extraordinaire Fushia Drama Day 2: MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick Day 3: Chanel Coco Rouge Shine in Romantic Day 4: Sleek Matte Me in Brink Pink Lesson learned this morning - matte and me really doesn't work very well, the Matte Me is really uncomfortable, off it comes and into the disposal bag it does - lanolips it is for the the rest of the day! I might have a look for all my mattes at the weekend and use them in this challenge to see which are worth keeping!

 

[jennyap]

I'm only on day 3, some of you must have started earlier! Mac Outrageously Fun today. I am going out for drinks tonight, and may put something different on for that (got a couple of options with me, most likely is the Lancome Rouge in Love in Rose Sulfureuse)

In here to vent-sometimes I don't know what I'm doing married to this person. We can't get things quite right and some days I wonder if I haven't made a mistake marrying him. How long is it supposed to take before you find a rhythm? The sad part is that I was telling him just the other day that I thought things were getting better. I guess he decided to revert back to being rude to prove me wrong. Anywho, sorry for the downer. I needed to vent for a bit. I won't be going anywhere today, so I won't have a lip. Maybe I'll put a gloss on. Hmmm.

Hey hun. I'm sorry you're going through this. From a 31 yo divorcee who's about to get married for the second time (lol...): marriage takes time. It's a battle. A battle with yourself: you fight your own pride and intolerance and patience to let in someone else in your world. It's how bad you want it to work. Both of you. But also knowing when it's enough and wether you can or can't live without someone. Sometimes we wait for the other person to take the first step when we should take matters into our own hands. Just a tidbit. You're in my thoughts today. And even if you're staying home: put on a lippy so anytime you pass by the mirror and see yourself you know KNOW you're hot sh*t, we love u here at Specktra, and you'll figure it out. Cause wether u love him or not, the most important thing to remember is to love yourself first. Plus you'll look hot as hell.
