Me too! Feels good, doesn't it?
My parents roll their eyes when I say I googled something medical. My step-mom calls it Dr. Google and shakes her head.
I love this idea! I had mine sorted into nude/neutrals and darker shades in my lipstick holder but I just added colour headings in my Excel inventory and it was telling. I think this will really help me NOT replace some colours when I finish them; thank you. I'd aim for 3-5 in any one category but here's where I am now:
I'm skipping too. It's just not... needed (in my stash or life).Me too! Feels good, doesn't it?

This is a good list, I kept coming back to the idea as my lipstick stash is still too large but I was struggling to trim. I have a muji draw of pinks, A draw of reds and a third draw with nudes, oranges and plums. I can see now my issue is reds and pinks. I have around 7 nudes and 7 plums some I am working on using up and won't replace, I have 3 oranges and 1 peach so those are fine for now. I just attacked the pinks and reds and trimmed out 5 products, I have some where I think the formulas may not be as good so going to test these out and trim as necessary. I haven't included my minis/deluxe samples as I keep these in a seperate bag and they are BN untouched pending completion of my project pan at the end of December, most are nudes and mini glosses. I am actually good with gloss and only open a new one as I finish an existing one!
Thank you, I have been using hourglass radiant light to bronze with as I was finding the primer to dark with a real techniques expert face brush, I will try a multi task brush tomoro and see if I get good results too!

Thank you, off to read it now!
This sounds great and might be working for me as well, I'm definitely gonna try this.Hello everybody! Just poking my head in, I haven't been around these parts lately. My low buy has been an almost NO buy since I got back from New Zealand in June. I've picked up one or two things very occasionally, but that is about it. I managed to go to the cosmetics section of a department store and not even be interested in a single thing today. I'm not particularly interested in any Christmas collections this year, the only thing I'm hanging out for is the Tom Ford Nude Dip palette. I hope it gets released online here!
If anybody is interested in how I managed to quit buying unnecessary makeup (I had spent $600 in just January this year), I used the dot method that was discussed a couple of hundred pages back. Basically every day that I went without buying makeup, I would place a dot on my calendar. The psychology behind it supposedly is that you don't want to ruin your pattern of dots. It worked for me!
I am still waiting for mine too, I think space nk had a delivery date of 1st Nov when I preordered, sometimes they come early sometime not
