Resolution LOW-BUY 2017

[VAL4M]

Low Buy Check-In ~ May

Natasha Denona sunset palette (ouch!) I love the quality BUT I still think Juvia's place eyeshadows are similar and do as a nice job for a fraction of the price.
Wayne Goss eye brush SET (double ouch) I want another set that how much I love them!
colourpop I order for 38$ to have free shipping (&aucey palette, I finally took the chance on their powder eyeshadow based on T's review (A-) 2 lipliner, 1 lippie stix in Faded and i liquid lipstick in Tansy) Still no shipping notice so this will probably land home in 2 weeks ! LOL

On the horizon (Love that thanks Fur4elise)
Not much I want to try the Tarte shape tape concealer I just do not know what shade to get i'm NC25 in MAC and the 2nd shade in most foundation ex: Chanel i'm 20 beige, Guerlain i'm 02 ect (with warm tone) I have NARS custard concealer who is a matching my skin but I want a little lighter for my under eyes so it will be perfect this summer with a tan. If anyone with the same skin tone can suggest a tint I will appreciated it.

Makeup Geek new eyeshadow palette due June 15th, it will be on my radar not sure i will purchase but I will be on the look up for swatches and reviews.

Viseart Cool Matte eyeshadow palette if I see a sale I might pull the plug if not it will be for later this fall.


Skincare: I will need to repurchased my OleHenrikson sugar scrub soon, as for the cream, cleanser etc i'm good till fall.

SHOES: I have a 25$ off on a pair of shoes in a running store I need to use it before July 1st so I will purchased my beloved 1080 NEW Balance running shoes, I tried other running shoes didn't like it so why waste my money. those are usually 200$ CAN but I usually go thru 2-3 pair of running shoes per year so even if I do not need it right now, in August- September i well need them.

The Goal is to purchased only 1 new pair of shoes (aside from running shoes) this year and i have my eye on the Fluevog Investigator dots booties. I WANT THEM. So as soon I see a 15% off floating around I will BUY them. I know i'm crazy and i know some will look at those shoes and think those are WAY outside of the box but they are SOOOO me and I will wear them till the END! LOL

Fluevog Shoes | Shop | Investigator (Dots) | Collared lace-up ankle boot

Did anyone heard about Rihanna new makeup line Fenty beauty who is supposed to launch this fall???? I will wait to see the review and what product will be available and if it will be accessible in Canada but i'm really interested!

I've been feeling pretty blah about makeup over the past month, until I saw that Urban Decay is launching the Naked Heat Palette. I know I will be getting it when it arrives at Sephora later this summer, but it's going to be a one in, one out purchase.

Even though I originallyly decided to keep the UD Smoked Palette, I ended up decluttering it tonight to make room for the Naked Heat Palette. Before I tossed it, I took out Blackout, Evidence, Loaded, and Rockstar and placed them in my Z Palette with my MAC shadows, NARS Taj Mahal blush, and my contour powder. These shadows were my reason for keeping the Smoked Palette as the other shades are dupable in my collection.

May

$0 - second month in a row!

Total in 2017: $655.46 (average $131.09/month)

Student loan payments in 2017: $12,877.67 ($11,000 to principal)

Feeling great! Enjoying watching my debt balance go down and my net worth creep up month by month. Over 50% of my spending now goes to debt, and only 10% to discretionary spending compared to last year when 30% was going to debt and 26% to discretionary spending!

June is almost over, so here's my monthly check-in:

Purchases: None

Used Up: None

Decluttered:
Qhemet Biologics Olive and Honey Hydrating Balm (I've had this for who knows how long. I'm glad the brand is now at Sephora so it'll be more convenient for me to pick up in the future)
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid in Topaz (I'm not sure what happened, but it completely leaked inside the drawer of my makeup container I placed it it. Plus, I've had it for 3+ years and I think it was going bad anyway.)

This month, I didn't have much desire to play in my makeup stash until recently. I've been enjoying coming up with eyeshadow looks using the palettes I currently have. I think my blending technique is good but I also feel like it could use some work, especially when I play with dark shadows.

The MAC Next To Nothing foundation was on my chopping block. I got it in the shade Medium Deep, and the more I used it, the more I started to feel that it may be a smidge light for me. I have a warm/yellow skin tone, and I think the shade may be a bit too yellow. I was prepared to take it back to Macy's when I got the idea to mix in some of my Pro Longwear concealer in NC45. NC45 in this concealer fits my skin tone, but is a little orange and slightly oxidizes. Mixing a pump of it with the NTN seems to do the trick.

As far as July goes, I do plan to buy the Naked Heat palette, so I'm looking forward to that purchase. I decluttered the UD Smoked palette to make room for the Heat palette (but took out the emerald, blue, purple, and black shadows and placed them in my Z palette along with my MAC shadows) as I have a one in, one out policy with my makeup these days.

 

[shellygrrl]

A couple of weeks ago I tossed one of my NYX lipliners (Pale Pink). That's the only thing I've gotten rid of this month.

I did get quite a few things this month:
- Sephora Lashcraft Length and Volume Mascara: I needed a new mascara for the back half of the year. So far I like this one.

- Bobbi Brown Corrector - Extra Light Bisque: An undereye corrector is something I've been wanting back in my life for some time, and I decided to go back to this, but in a different shade from what I used to have years ago. (Years ago I had Porcelain Peach, and I pretty much finished it.) Extra Light Bisque is maybe a smidge too light for me, but at the same time I'm not in a rush to get Light Bisque. So. *shrugs*

- Make Up For Ever 174 Small Concealer Brush: I've had a Sonia Kashuk flat concealer brush for ten-plus years (I think, since 2005?). It's a good brush, but it's a little bit wide. This MUFE one is a little bit smaller, perfect for applying concealer to the inner corners on my nose, next to the eyelids.

- deluxe sample of Clinique Lash Impact Mascara: The above were purchased while Sephora was having a "three free deluxe samples with code" promotion, so this is one of the ones I chose. (Another sample I chose was Dr. Jart Ceramidin moisturizer. The third one I chose, It Cosmetics Bye-Bye Pores Pressed Powder, was canceled because they ran out.) I also really like this one. Gives me loads of definition.

- MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot - Camel Coat: Hasn't arrived yet (it will in a day or so) but this was purchased (along with a full-size MAC Fix+, which I use mostly for skincare) in a minor panic, as it now has the ominous Triangle of Death on the site.

I'll do my half-year overview next weekend.

June

Purchased

4 eyeshadows - replacing colours from the trios I decluttered
concealer - replacing with a slightly darker shade
powder - wanted a lightweight option for summer

2 palettes - one small to hold the eyeshadows, and one two-pan to hold the powder and a blush I already own

$194.88

Total in 2017: $850.34 (average $141.72/month) - I set a goal of $1,000 for spending at the beginning of the year (for clothing, makeup, skincare, perfume).. not sure I'm going to make this with half the year left and only $150 in the budget! I'm going to try though!!!

Total in 2016: $1247.07 (average $103.92/month)

Decluttered

3 palettes - S, M, L - The small one is a metal one that was a gift with purchase and while it's beautiful it's also heavy and a little cumbersome. The other two are bamboo and I loved them but they're too big for what I have now and I plan to use the one in, one out rule with my single eyeshadow pans going forward.

2 eyeshadow trios - I found myself not reaching for these after I used most of the lightest shades.

3 eyeshadows - I guess I got bored of them? Just felt like it was time for a change.

1 concealer - Too light for me. I tried to make it work and it was okay in winter but now not so much.

1 highlighter duo - I just use my cream highlighter so this wasn't getting touched.

I think that's it.. I still have a few samples but they're almost used up and will be tossed soon.

Inventory

5 eyeshadows
5 lipsticks
2 blushes
1 contour
1 highlight
1 foundation
1 concealer
1 powder
1 mascara
=18

Inventory change from the beginning of the year:
-5 eyeshadows
-2 highlighters
+1 blush
+1 lipstick
+1 powder
Total: -4

I'll do a more thorough spending review and inventory with prices at the end of the year. For now my goals are to really be careful with spending and keep trying to use things up (I want to use up an entire eyeshadow or blush at some point this year!). I think I'll only need a mascara, but I might order some perfume as well. Really going to try to stick to the $150 I have left. Also no clothing purchases - 6 months down, 6 months to go!

[shellygrrl]

Half-year update!

No Buy
Pre-made eyeshadow palettes - In general, I never use all the colours in them. Don't need or want any more. - None purchased!

Bronzers - While I have wishlisted one bronzer, I'm not in a hurry to buy it, and I've still got some to use. - None purchased! I have one wishlisted, though: Benefit Hoola Lite. Until recently, I also had Guerlain Four Seasons in 00 Nudes wishlisted as well, but it seems the Four Seasons range has been discontinued.

Eyeliner Pencils - I'm good with what I've got right now. - None purchased!

Pigments - I had several pigments in the past, and the times I used them were few and far between. So back in the fall, I finally got rid of them. Not for me. - None purchased!

Setting Powders - I'm good. - None purchased! I did wishlist a pressed setting powder for later on, but I'm not in a hurry to buy it.

Spot Concealer - I'm still working through a sample size of Kevyn Aucoin SSE. (That's how little of this product you need to use.) I'm putting it here for now, but if I run out of that sample during the year, I will get a full size. - None purchased! However, in lieu of getting a full size of this, I'm now looking at NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer as a replacement.

Foundation - I just bought one. - The one I bought at the time I wrote that ended up being returned (Makeup Atelier). A few months later, I bought wet'n'wild Photofocus, which worked out better for me.

Face Primers - I'm good, I think. - None purchased!

Proceed with Caution
Eyeshadow Primer - A little later this year (around March or so, I'm thinking?), I'll have to replace mine. But I won't be repurchasing the NARS one (although it works great for me), because there's another one I want to try. - This turned out to be the MAC one, which I really love. So I'm now set for a while.

Single Eyeshadows - Long wishlist is long, and I'm going through a little bit of a matte phase in regards to powder eyeshadows. The key here will be prioritization. (It's also a category of makeup where I'm okay with having a sizeable number of options at hand.) - Bought several Makeup Geek ones, and there are more that I want. I've also got a few Anastasia ones wishlisted.

Lipstick - I reduced this a little bit during the last year. There's at least one shade on my main radar, and some others I'd like to have, but they're not must-haves right now. (Also want to find a similar colour to MAC Feed the Senses.) - I got MAC Fanfare as a Back 2 MAC, and that's the only lippie I got. Still in search of a FTS dupe (or hoping for a repromotion in a tube).

Lipgloss - There are still a couple of gloses I want. Whether I buy them or not... - None purchased.

Contour - I don't have a cream contour in my stash, and this is a gap I'm considering filling. - Still don't have a cream contour in my stash, but I'm fine with that at the moment.

Mascara - Two tubes in rotation is okay, but no more than that. - And right now I have two tubes in rotation!

Lipliner - I could go either way here. - I actually tossed one recently (NYX Pale Pink), and there are a couple of liners in a similar colour I have eyes on: MAC Subculture and Bite 020.

Brow Products - I still need a brow gel to set the brows. - Finally got one! (surratt) And my current tube should be fine for a bit longer.

Undereye Concealer - While I'm still working through my MAC Studio Sculpt (I have a love-hate relationship with this), I'm still "window shopping" for a replacement. - So I went back to the Bobbi Brown Corrector, but that's something where you'd still want to use a concealer over the top. Still haven't settled on one to try first; I've got it narrowed down to two (Tarte Shape Tape and NARS Radiant Creamy).

Points of Focus
Blush - I noted in the 2016 thread that I wanted to expand this part of my stash this year. - Hasn't happened yet.

Brushes - My collection isn't to the point where I'd call it complete just yet. - I did inch a little closer to completion, with the WG Air Brush and MUFE 174. But I'm still not quite where I want to be.

Highlighter/Luminizer - I have my sample of MAC Strobe Cream, but I think this is the year I get Becca SSP in Pearl. I'm thinking next month, for my birth month.

Miscellaneous
False Lashes - It's fun. - Haven't played much.

I reorganized my stash a few days ago, and I posted a photo to my Instagram (username in my signature). While I did photograph my makeups, I'm not happy with the pictures, so I'm going to re-shoot.

I have both concealers both are good but the difference is tarte shape tape is more matte and have more converage. Is really creamier like the name
