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

[SleepingBeauty]

Hi to all my lowbuy ladies!! I know I have been bad (the Sephora truck hit me in the face and I will pay the piper for it), but it's ok. I can live with it.. I am being bad now too.

It's hard not to buy clothes, shoes and handbags in Italy. But will only limit myself to one par (per colour).. lol.


miss you guys.. ttyl.

sad new on the Bert front.. it's done, finished and kaput.

What?! No! Oh boy, I'm sorry to hear this!

I've been good - I've been really good. I'm still saving for the AA collection and if I remember correctly, the last makeup related thing I bought was the L'Oréal lipstick at the beginning of April and in March I only bought the yellow CC Cream and the lavender CC powder. I seriously haven't bought that little in years.

Oh, I forgot the Revlon foundation but that was necessary. I don't count staples.

Hey guys.

Been AWOL for Easter.

Haven't purchased anything since the new foundation which is good. No plans to, either!

The biggest thing for me is staying away from websites and the forums, lol.

I'm still sticking to my limit of one or two items only from AA.

Skipping Playland. I don't need Toying Around, I just want it. Maybe I'll find it in the Clearance Bin later on.

My health has been acting up. I came off my pain meds for about a week to try and feel a bit more human. Big mistake, lol.

30 Lipsticks in 30 Days - round 2 Naked Palette 1, 2, 3 and basics for the next 30 days Day 1: Topshop Gloss Ink Sugar Plum - great everyday colour, not as long lasting as smitten but definitely a keeper! Naked 3 Liar and Factory - I looked tired though, not sure if it was the shadows or me! Day 2: Gosh Soft n Shine Lip Balm in Irony (These were the drugstore dupes for the old mac slimshines) I loved it the first peach that looks good on me. No eye make up - I had a contact lens check up Day 3: L'Oreal Caresse in Aphrodite Scarlet - rewearing from the last 30 day challenge to check whether the formula dries out my lips - I like the colour though No eye make up today - I am extra tired and have hayfever so went for blush and lippie only today.

Hope you're feeling better sweetie! I still haven't made it to the Container Store! Hopefully this week. I just got swamped last minute with Easter prep and had to readjust my schedule a little. But I WILL get there! I promise!

@peachtwist you'll prob def find it CBd later. It's a nice color but one that could easy get boring since it's so bright and our minds are fickle moving onto the next new thing. @deesea good to know this is resolved for you @naynadine stay strong. Million hugs to you dear. @pixie: yea I've had it for a while and I've done a few looks but honestly if by the end of this week I don't do anything ground breaking, it's going on the Cb. I feel it's an investment that I can use for work and all that but I don't wear rose everyday in my eyes.... I like change too much. But this is a fair trial for it. @hergrayness you know my feelings about this. I'm sending you all the hugs, go out and enjoy the sunny days, sit in fancy Italian plazas and have gelato, people watch, shoe watch and shop. Ugh I wish I was there.. Shoes.... And let your mind clear and relax.

I only brought toying around from playland, actually this the only thing besides bad girl riri, flat out fab in a swap, I've brought. No dupe, but if i found my ablaze I may have passed. Where is my beloved ablaze?

 

[josephine90]

Im still doing pretty well with my no buy, not sure if i can do it when AA comes out. Had my annual exam today, still hate it like my first time lol, so im off today and wandering thru sephora, i need to get home!

SOOOOOO glad it worked out! YAY!

It definitely is OK... especially since you're doing so well! And here are some hugs for you if they're still needed... If not, you're getting them anyways! LOL

MISS YOU WOMAN!!! Hope you're finding some time for fun in Italy! All work and no play...

And I'm sorry to hear about Bert. But, no tears in Italy! If he messed up, he certainly doesn't deserve them... Your strength and humor will get you through! We are here for you doll!
