I am glad its not just me I went through a phase 6 months ago where I did manage to cut back quite a bit, but the last 2 -3 months I keep hauling, I have been grabbing quite a bit of drugstore duscounted from TJ Hughes, i don't know why I bothered as I haven't used much of it at all. i sorted out at the weekend and realised that I had a whole shoe box full of unopened/unused lip products.

I am off to Borneo in 10 weeks so thinking of listing all make up that i barely use on ebay limited edition or not to fund a digital SLR camera, then perhaps I won't feel so bad.

Mac hasn't been appealing to me much lately, have been prefering Chanel and dior offerings lately in the ltd edition front.
Saving for the dior aurora bronzer and rosy nude palettes at the mo and fingers crossed that they don't sell out!

I just checked my email and had one from MAC announcing the Flighty collection is online. I had to chuckle at the subject line though, it appears someone at MAC HQ made a slight spelling error:

[h=1]"M.A.C FLIGHTY... a collection of 16 whipped mouse cream shadows and coloured mascaras."[/h]

I'm exactly the same. I used buy pretty much exclusively from MAC & usually at least 1 item from most collections, the last 1.5 years I've mainly been interested in other brands. I seem to fall in and out of love with different brands every few months - Dior, Chanel, Stila, Inglot, Laura Mercier - currently I'm developing a bit of a NARS obsession. The downside is that I end up buying a lot and three months later have often already moved onto being obsessed with completely different products.

Over the weekend I sorted through my makeup drawers and realised I have quite a bit of unused, unopened product - backups of LE products I'll realistically never get around to using, freebies, samples, that sort of thing. So I've set aside about half of it to gift to my younger sister (who is also makeup obsessed, but is a poor uni student and will be thrilled to have it!). Haven't quite figured out what to do with the rest yet!

i feel like i have lost my mojo too recently. i'm still buying stuff but then i'm either not wearing make up at all or just doing super simple stuff. i blame the fact that i am tired and over worked. that is why i just can't face doing anything special of late :(

same here too... i'm still buying quite a bit of makeup (albeit probably slightly less than usual) but i'm spending most of my time either entirely makeup free or putting barely anything on (just enough to look healthy - a sweep of blush or dior aurora, mascara, and filling in my brows). i just can't be bothered at the moment to do anything more :(
on the plus side though, it's making me realise what my staples are, and making me especially happy that i bought aurora because i can see it being a new staple purchase that i'll get so much use out of. i might even back it up! but then i feel like such a makeup glutton with everything else i have that i've barely used - e.g. i want to buy the naked palette but i feel guilty because i haven't even touched my other neutral e/s, including the mac 15 palette i was building... i think i've fallen into a bit of a makeup rut :(

poor mice
why are they whipping mice? PETA will get on to them!!!

i am in a make up rut also, the problem is, when it comes down to an extra 15 mins in bed or eye make up, bed always wins

Hehehe!! I also cackled to myself when I saw this whilst I was at work today...although I promised myself to wait for the Semi Precious collection I was intrigued by the texture of the Big Bounce shadows so went to have a look and ended up with 5, the grey mascara and 2 superslick liquid eyeliners

thankfully I only want 3 mineralize eyeshadows from SP now (I used this reasoning to justify my mini blowout lol) as I saw 2 colours in real life because they already have them in stock but arent allowed to sell them yet.


Heres my mini haul

Ooh how exciting, I can't wait for Semi-Precious! :D

I wore my pink Rimmel Mousse eyeshadow yesterday and it really is so lovely, stayed on without creasing all day (no base, topped with Mac Lovely Lily pigment).

I was wondering about using the BBE as a base considering its creamy texture, I wanted to try it with the gloss for the eyelids to see how it would look but apparently you can only get that in the pro store. I may pop in there on the way home today and get one, I still have a few pigments to use it with if the Big Bounce doesnt work. I cant wait for SP, but I really must not spend anymore apart from the Chanel eyelash curlers and the eyegloss :p That combo sounds really nice Anitacska :eyelove:

Does anyone know when this month's Glamour magazine is out? I've been checking the shelves in Sainsbury's, but they still only have last month's edition. I really want to get the High beam sample. Maybe even Benetint.

I saw the Big Bounce shadows today, but didn't get any. Picked up 2 more Rimmel mousses instead: Mermaid (blue) and the purple one.

According to someone on moneysavingexpert.com, the mag is out on 9th June.

That Rimmel purple (Galaxy) is gorgeous, isn't it? I'm debating with myself whether to get just one Big Bounce shadow, but can't decide which colour - maybe Luxury Touch, since I have Rimmel Mousses and No7 Eye Mousses that would double up (even if not dupes) for the other MAC colours I like.
