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

[Mimi702]

I've always liked those type of shower caps. As far as it's effectiveness? I don't know. WHen my hair is straight, I wrap my hair in two scarves, a regular plastic cap, and then a shower cap. I also don't wash my face in the shower, I wash it at the sink so I can see if I am pushing the cap to far up and getting my edges wet. LOL

haha, this sounds like what I do too with all the wrapping b4 the shower cap & trying not to get anything wet.

even tho that never works out. I use to try & put my hair up in clips b4 all this but then the shower cap didn't seem to fit so I just stick with the bobby pins & alligator clips now.

I have been studying this year, not working and have not been able to buy much new makeup. Have had to restrain and focus on what I have and get more into swapping. Getting much more into nail polishes this year than anything else - a lot more affordable than other beauty products. Changing your mani colour and experimenting can really liven up the mood and attracts attention.
I'm waiting on two swaps to be delivered, one a Chanel nail polish and Nars lipstick, the other two E.L.F. nail polishes and an L.A. Colours eyeshadow palette. And maybe some extras if I'm lucky. Yay, can't wait.

YESTERDAY I allowed myself to buy sable eyeshadow. Well it took me less than 24 hours to manage to drop the pan on the floor and break it! Fortunately only a superficial part broke, so I can still use it, but it makes my fingers itch to see the broken pan next to the rest.

Please repeat with me: you do not need a new sable pan!

It's funny that we buy make up to look and feel more beautiful but a lot of the beauty and the pleasure is had by looking at and holding the product itself. It pays off in many ways. So when the product is damaged it can affect that particular pleasure.
I agree that you don't need a new one - the one you have is solely to make you beautiful. Cherish it for that x

I was like that when I quickly managed to break the edge of my kid eyeshadow, which was fast becoming my favourite colour. But I pushed through the annoyance of it being broke, and now I kind of like that it's broke as it's looking well used and loved

Please let me know how the shower cap is, I've been looking for one for a while now.

I use the blow pro version and I love it. I got it at my salon. I try to stretch my flat iron 2.5-3 weeks because I don't have time to go to the salon more often... Keeps my hair dry. My stylist says it works because the terry keeps the green house effect from happening. I used to use 2 scarves and 2 shower caps but it made my head sweat!

I'm def doing a low buy next year... I think I have managed to stock up on everything I need. I wanted to save a few purchases for January but seeing "limited edition" has me wanting to pull the trigger on some stuff... =\ Trying to stay strong and not buy these last few sets... Maybe I will get gift cards for christmas!

You don't need a new pan; the eyeshadow will look a little "unpretty" anyway as soon as there's a dent in it. I'm good at dropping stuff, too. Mascara brushes, that doefoot wand which comes with lip gloss...when it drops onto the carpet, it's kinda lost because of those fluffy fibres that get stuck. A great way to minimize my stash though, lol.

Ummmm... I won't even bother addressing any content of your post. All I will say is this… I have stumbled across many negative posts from you throughout Spectra in the last few days. I think that this might not be the best place for you. We don't treat people like that here. We are a group of friendly, sweet, like-minded, and passionate people that share a love for beauty... And not just the beauty on the outside. So if you can't display any of that here, I suggest you move on to a different forum that welcomes that behavior. I would rather be up to my eyeballs in debt and swimming in expired lipgloss goo than have your disposition... Moving on.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve with your rude posts, but we don't appreciate that kind of disrespectful tone here on Specktra. If you can't word your opinion in a respectful way like everyone else, I will delete your posts. 

THIS!! Love ya Nay. You're much more professional than me. That's why you're so great at keeping us in line!
