Hi everyone.
No way for me to catch up with everything here - I'll try slowly! Life has been a bit too baroque lately, and not always in such great ways, but here I am still plugging away.
Anyhow, I feel like I let all you Alluring Aquatic low-buyers down. 'Wish I'd been able to be around to talk people out of this or that after I saw everything the other week. The AA thread was so crazy and hectic, there was no point in trying to get a word in edgewise (I'll never catch up there either, I'm afraid). I miss leisurely Specktra!
I haven't seen the Osbournes collection yet, but I'm feeling super low-buy on that one based on Temptalia's swatches. I've got so many of those light lavender lipsticks MAC has done that I don't think I need Dodgy Girl and I love Riot House, but I've got lots of those shades too (which I do in fact actually wear a lot, like Sweet & Sour and Playing Koi). It's going to have to bring something extra to the table. Those blushes are not anything new and same goes for the MSFs. I think French Kiss patentpolish is going to be great and Bijou lipglass looks surprisingly awesome. No shadows for me, though - those quads are just not necessary for my needs. I'm going to get out cheap, I think.
In other low buy news, I've gotten into the habit of buying the full nail polish collections from China Glaze and Orly, mostly because I like how they get bundled together in one self-contained package. This time, I didn't let myself do it with China Glaze Offshore, because honestly, I had serious dupes for quite a few of the shades. I'll have only the colors I wanted, not in a nice little container, maybe, but at least I'll only have what I need this time.

I hope everything goes well tomorrow and you feel better soon!
