Hey I'm in once more! My goals may seem conservative next to some of yours but it all boils down to
I've just downloaded the app that @veronikawithak mentioned before so I am going to keep record of what I buy so I can later figure out my superfluous spendings!
- enjoy what I own
- no stupid purchases (slight variations of shades, lured in by offers and sales, quantity vs quality, no backups!)
I hear youI used to use YSL and I prefer D&G. I wish I had cheaper taste.
I agree, it really surprises me how much is still in stock. Unexpectedly, I was in town today so I decided to go swatching in spite of my resolution not to do so. But hey, nothing really intrigued me (except for PT, which I ordered on Monday but it seemingly still needs to be shipped...well, the holidays). I love Lightscapade, but already own one, and although I usually like to get a blush, those were super glittery and the sparkle seemed not well integrated into the formula, just like a weird layer of glitter on a seperate layer of applied chalky color. Can't really express this in English. So I'll be patiently waiting for PT to arrive and I'm done. Unless Red Red Red collection will be available at my small b-counter, February's gonna be inexpensive as well, whoop!Hello again! I'm back as well. The year started with MAC's Lightness of Being being launched over here. It's really difficult to withstand it! I don't like anything except for Perfect Topping. Normally, everything would've been sold out right now but this collection doesn't seem to be so popular, so everything's still in stock. I hope I can stay strong and not order anything!
Welcome!! :stars: I have a problem with blush too, I know the struggle. :sigh:After lurking for a long time I'm in as wellI really want to try and use up my lip glosses and just get some regular use out of my mac pigments. I almost never reach for them and I have way too many to just have them stored at my vanity. I also don't need any more blushes but unfortunately I usually gravitate towards those when new collections launch. I did manage to not buy that much in 2014. Hopefully I will buy even less this year. I think I've just come to realize that I actually prefer a smaller stash. I just don't want to have all these unused items sitting around.
I won't wish you all luck, because this is about resolve. We control what we buy, and only we can make the changes in our lives that are required.
My priority this year is getting back into shape, so I have no makeup goals.
That is my number one goal as well.
But I definitely want to continue the Low-Buy, too. Just like last year I'm not going to set a limit of number of items, I'll just try to buy less and be even pickier. Will also have to purge my stash even further.

I completely understand the blush thing. I don't have as many blushes as i do lipsticks. I have 28 blushes but some of them look very similar when applied. My bad girl gone good blush looks like gingerly and my sharon peaches and cream looks like fleur powerHi everyone! I don't know that I'll be engaging in an actual low-buy this year, or at least I don't know what limits I'll place on myself aside from the ones that my budget will force on me anyway. However, I do have a few goals that should limit what I buy without me putting an official cap on purchases. 1. I want to make sure I wear every lipstick in my collection. I have a ridiculous number and I'm sure that I have worn some in a couple of years. I need to determine if there are any I want to retire and, before buying new ones, I want to know that I don't have any close dupes. 2. Same thing with my blushes. I don't have quite as many blushes as lipsticks, but I also find that they tend to look more alike when applied. 3. Make use of sample sizes whenever I can. I have so much makeup that even a small format product can last me a while. So, whenever I can get access to them, I'm going to do so. It's also a good way to sample new product formulas.
I have the same issue. I have 30+ from mac and so many of them look the same on the skin. Yet I still buy new ones from time to time. I can see a difference when two pans are side by side, but are other people actually going to notice a difference? Probably not. I will try to purge my blush stash in 2015 - especially the shimmery and glittery ones. I just do not reach for them anymore.I completely understand the blush thing.

IKR I was trying to pan sweet as cocoa blush but the shimmer is horrible on my textured skin Plus i like my Lips and Cheeks better without shimmer. I don't mind shimmer on my eyes though.Thank you!
