Day 1: MAC Hot Gossip
Day 2: MAC Fanfare
Day 3: Burt's Bees Tinted Lipbalm Pink Blossom
Day 4: Burt's Bees Tinted Lipblam Pink Blossom
Oh well. But I'm going through a 'minimal makeup phase' right now and feel like lipstick's too much. Also, I went to the gym this morning and didn't want to put on lipstick, so I decided to only apply my tinted lipbalm, and the weather over here is so, so warm and sunny right now that I don't want to wear that much makeup.
I don't think I even have 30 lipsticks at all.

You're going through a lot of transition in your life; you're looking for work and don't you have a young baby? It would be surprising if the added stress of becoming parents combined with the loss of an income wasn't causing some ripples in your life. No one can see into another's marriage, so obviously I don't know whether the two of you can make it in the long haul. I just wouldn't want for you to make a permanent decision based on a temporary set of circumstances. Where you are now isn't where you'll be in a year or two.
Becoming parents might be common, but that doesn't mean that the transition and the inevitable impacts it has on a relationship are easy.
I hope things work out for you.

It's contagious, isn't it? The more I zero in on the kind of finishes and colours I love, the more I'm happy to be rid of products that just don't meet that criteria. I'll wait to see what I reach for over the warmer months, but I see another big purge coming this summer.

Day 4 Nyx lip liner in natural, Rimmel Kate Moss 14 and NYX butter gloss in Tiramisu! I'm glad so many of use can use this board/thread to be cathartic! About to purchase some skin care items, just waiting to chic week at Sephora for the discount, plus doing my birthday list, trying not to buy too much as I'm trying to clear out my stash. If the spring Tom Ford lippies are still available I may get two along with the Ita brush!

Thanks for this. All you say is true. I just don't need his attitude right now, especially since I'm trying my best. The sad part is that we've been getting along great and I mentioned to him that I appreciate his efforts, and then literally the next day he acts like a jackhole. I found out I didn't get the job I interviewed for. I am waiting to hear back from another place. Today's lip is MAC Fashion Nomad.

I'm sorry you are struggling. (((HUGS))) I've never been married so I won't pretend to have answers for you. Just hugs. My best friend just called me this morning to tell me she is getting a divorce. I'm at a loss with her too.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 would love to get my collection down to under 30 lipsticks!!!
I haven't taken a picture of me wearing it yet, but I did take these pictures. It looks more pink in the swatch than it does in the tube and that how it really turns on me, not just the lighting in picture (if that makes sense lol).

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.

Day 4 : Revlon Temptress (I'm not sure if this color is dc'd or not, but it's a really nice wearable every day pink. I'd have to swatch to make sure but it reminds me of MAC Venus. I have it on with Lancome Rose l/l). I took a goofy glasses pic of this one today, it's edited a little because my skin was a funky color in the light I was in.Lip of the day and mini reviewsHopefully 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!)

Ajigglin: I hope things will work out for you and fingers crossed for the other job interview!
I just noticed that I only bought the lavender CC powder and the yellow CC cream this month. This is actually great! I haven't bought this little in months. I'm not counting staples, though.
Okay, this might seem like a silly question to some of you but you are the only people who'll understand me
: So, I've started going to the gym and I'm wondering if you thought it was weird or strange if you saw someone wearing makeup while working out. The thing is that I look like death warmed over and I still have some redness and a few scars from my acne days and I feel a bit insecure going out with a bare face. Oh, did I mention that there's a personal trainer who's really, really cute?
On the other hand, I do sweat and I want to work out properly and I also take a shower afterwards and I don't feel fully cleaned if I don't wash my face, so I don't know...
And by makeup I mean my usual routine (basically a full face but without heavy eyeshadow or lipstick).

I always wear my makeup to the gym. I've started doing crossfit (ouch) and I see makeup on other girls too. Do you shower there? If I did shower there I think I might be ok just going from the bathroom to my car with a bare face. You could slap on some foundation after showering if that would make you feel more comfortable.Ajigglin: I hope things will work out for you and fingers crossed for the other job interview!

I've been to the gym with and without makeup on, and I much prefer without. I just don't like the feeling of the makeup mixing with the sweat dripping down my face (ick). Also when I wipe my face it becomes a mess. I'm also not trying to impress a cute trainer, so you should go however you feel most comfortableAjigglin: I hope things will work out for you and fingers crossed for the other job interview!

I wouldn't think it was strange if I saw someone wearing makeup at the gym. Usually I'm just trying to get through my workout and not paying attention to anyone else.

I don't find it weird to wear MU to the gym. I've seen ladies who do and some who don't. I do it occasionally if I go later in the day (I normally go first thing in the morning) - I just make sure it's MU that's reasonably sweatproof so I don't feel ridiculous. I mostly wear BB cream and waterproof e/s and waterproof mascara.
