because whateverthehellisinit didn't look orange on me. Surprise, surprise. Used a gift card for GotS and bought a few other items...
The 4 lipsticks in regular packaging are from B2M.

Three boring everday ones: Hot Gossip, Sequin and Plumful.
And my take on the "It-Colour" for Spring: So Chaud

Those are great choices! Plumful and So Chaud have been on my list FOREVER! I just have too many lippies to buy all the additional ones I want! LOL I have to draw a line somewhere!

Which ones do you currently have?
I confess I want the compact for the packaging. I do wear bronzer but don't really need a new one. The compact looks like it was designed by Apple, so cheaper than buying a new iPhone! 
) But I will use it eventually, or alternate with Sundipped. I am also planning on getting Mystical lipstick, since that's a staple sort of shade for me, and then that's it for the foreseeable future. Not interested in anything else coming up at all.

I placed my AA order today and was keeping it totally reasonable until the Bronzer compact jumped in at the last minute!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr, how did that happen? I got the three other items that I always knew I was getting (Aphro-shell, Soul whatever eyeshadow and fathoms deep) and was patting myself on the back for not buying any lipsticks or glosses when I heard myself say "and the pretty compact with whatever the hell is in it!". Bah. I don't even think the packaging is all that, I just jumped on the Hype-wagon and rode it to its logical conclusion, Remorseville.
I'd like to say here: "lesson learned" but I am sure that will happen again. I just have to be happy with the fact that those moments of self sabotage are getting fewer and farther between as I wisen up.
Thanks to Team Low Buy, your presence is definitely helping me!

Same here. And it sounds like although you slipped up with the compact, you really thought about the other items you were purchasing from the collection, so I say onward and upward!

it's plastic,with tiny watery bubble looking thingamajigs, it's right up my alley... and yes, I collect compacts and have some from turn of last century as well as 70's classics.. but hey, we don't preach in here, right? and if we do, we might not be heard anyway.. lol.
so thanks for all the cautionary low buy rules.. I have already broken all of them plus extras for good measure. I am on a high buy for now.. it's my way of coping. And I make enough money to support my nasty habits.. lol. So, thanks kids.. this old buzzard, or Crump as I am being called knows, more or less (maybe less) what she is doing.

Of course you know what you're doing.
I can pretty much afford whatever I want at this point too. Which is why I try to be reasonable about quantities but when I see something I really love, I'm not giving much of a rat's ass about the price tag or my own damn rules. You don't get to our stage in life without figuring at least some things out.
Sometimes self-indulgence is a healthy thing. You go, girl.

Indeed. In fact, I think I'm going to enjoy some myself.Cheers darling! to Self Indulgence
Final university acceptances continue to arrive. Within the next couple of weeks, I will be writing deposit tuition/dorm cheques for my future nurse and business tycoon. Tomorrow, I'll be dropping close to a grand on figure skates for a young competitor. On that happy note, I'm off to buy myself a very nice bottle of wine, buy myself at least one more Guerlain bronzer and the Dior powder I've been eyeing and whatever else I decide is pretty and worthy of my consideration. As for low-buy…really not concerned about that at the moment. An occasional couple of hundred bucks doesn't even hit my radar screen because I'm a disciplined saver.
Ta, ladies. I won't wave my pretties on this thread so as to not enable and all that.

I too am very disciplined but sometimes a good bang up falling off the truck is just my ticket to being a bit more sane.. if that's possible.
enjoy!
