#TEAMBUYITALL

[CrimsonQuill157]

Awesome Crimson!

I've had that happen quite a few times and it always feels kinda good when it does. lol

It does. I'm starting to learn that the excitement after getting a package or product lasts about five minutes, and then it's over. Money gone. I have more than enough makeup to last me a very long time. I really want some of the Colour Pop lipsticks, but honestly... I'd be willing to bet I have a dupe for every single one I want in my stash. I could not buy makeup (outside of foundation, mascara, and lip balm) for a few years and be fine. What's shameful is that I did all this buying in the last year, I guess because of stress buying.. I'm trying hard to control it. I've been a lot worse the last few weeks and it's been difficult. I go from wanting everything I see to wanting absolutely nothing. The only makeup item I'm truly in need of is a good brow product. I've been using an eyeshadow to fill in my brows and it's just not cutting it.

I keep all of my makeup in a cool, often cold environment, so I was shocked when that and Caliente from the same collection both did the same thing. I'd only worn
Caliente once so you can imagine how horrified I was when I opened it and saw that mess!!!

I just fell off my chair laughing---when I read my above message, that damn auto correct changed cool to pool and Caliente to client. So it looked like I was telling you
that I keep my makeup in a pool. Well that would explain the disintegrating lipsticks!!!

I know that feeling all too well. I've looked at the ColourPop stuff and it looks nice, but like you, I just can't bring myself to buy anything due to it all looking like things I already have. I've made some pretty good headway in thinning out my stash (which also feels really good to do) and plan to replace all my staple colours in lipsticks, blushes etc (not in the same quantity I have now) in better quality formulas so that I have items that I truly love and enjoy using which sadly is not the case with several items in my stash. I did too much impulse buying and ended up with a lot of items I didn't need or even really want that could of been a lot better. It's crazy when you go back and look at order histories etc and see just how many orders you've placed for things in a period of time, I did that about 2 months ago and was appalled. So many buys because I got roped into the hype, because I was depressed or stressed out and all it's turned out to be more of a burden than anything because now I have lots of items hanging around that are just collecting dust because I'll never use them for one reason or another. Let me know how you like the Dipbrow, I've been in need of a good brow product as well.

I took a look at mine the other day and they didn't look anywhere near yours but they did look like they were starting to change and so I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I open them up and find a mess. I actually have used both of those several times since buying them so I'll be sad if I can no longer do so.

That pretty much describes my last 6 months to a year. My anxiety has gotten uncontrollable and I find temporary relief by buying things. I start Wellbutrin tomorrow, so we'll see if it helps. I still love buying makeup, but I need to think more in terms of "How often will I use this?" rather than, "Ooo, pretty color! *add*"

I hope the Wellbutrin helps you with your anxiety.

I have really been doing that lately which is why I was making myself use a different lippy every day to see which ones I thought I'd use and were worth keeping vs the ones that are just taking up space. I still adore buying makeup and wearing it, but sheesh!

I know! My current issue is, how many vampy lippies do I actually need if I never wear them out! I'll wear the hell out of a red, but dark ones still scare me. I have Lingering Kiss, Pure Heroine, LC Wicked, and a couple more I can't think of - I've never worn them in public. So scared!

I know that feeling, I remember the first time I wore Cyber out (it was my first vampy lip) I felt so self conscience about it until a lady at the bookstore complimented me on it. After that it all went down hill in Vamp-Land. lol

I'm going to start with Wicked since it's super close to my comfort zone of red.

P.S. I never thought I'd say red was my comfort zone!

 

[charismafulltv]

LOL, I forgot all about Dolly creating it a long time ago back when I did the No Buy July thread.  I forgot to subscribe and just rediscovered it not that long ago. 

LOL

[COLOR=0000FF]   Here's my MAC Sheer Seduction---I had only worn it twice and when I opened it, this is what it looked like:  It should have been called Self Destruction!:haha: [/COLOR]    [COLOR=CD69A1] [/COLOR]

This is horrendous

I know I am in #teambuyitall, but I am proud of myself today - I went to Ulta fully intending to walk out with Vice 3. Walked out empty handed ompom: I did swatch Dipbrow in Dark Brown and Ebony. I really like it. Think Dark Brown is going to be the one I end up with. I also tried Si by Giorgio Armani... it smells amazing. Not sweet, doesn't make me feel sick. It's going on the Christmas list

I love the dip brows, I've been using them since June. I do have the dark brown which is brighter than chocolate.

TA DA!

The colors are beautiful.

Nars is so much more comfortable and the colors are true. I think my love affair with Mac is over. I also dont like having to rush to get what I want. Stalking and hoping I like it once i get it. Then the quality might suck. Or exchanging due to a bad batch. Rocky Horror pushed me away!

My love affair with Mac is over too.The whole marketing team should be fired. The RiRi Collections is really when I started to turn salty with Mac and they have been going down hill every since. IMO, they seem to take their most loyal fans for granted.

I am so over it.

It's such a pretty colour and it looked beautiful on you over in the LC thread!

Been there, done that!

 

[charismafulltv]

Yup. I am speechless.   Very sad. Crazy is right. I caught the first 5 minutes of the press coxnference last night at 9:15pm because I fell aslepp. I woke up an hour or so later and all hell had broken loose. The colors are beautiful. That would be nice. My love affair with Mac is over too.The whole marketing team should be fired.

I am so over it. :agree:

As what I've read they intentionally released the decision at night so that school is done and people working will be at home.

That's a great thing Crimson ompom:

That would explain it :lol: Kidding and that is scary. I'm a little afraid of my lipsticks doing that to me on a whim.

You know it was just those two. The other two lippies that I purchased from that same collection are fine----interestingly they're a different finish/formula.

I can imagine the soundtrack of PSYCHO is playing when you opened the tube. lol

Hmm odd..you'd think it would be the same finish that went south at least. :lol: oh MAC... making it so easy to skip other collections :fluffy:
