Resolution LOW-BUY 2017

I'll follow suit! Here's my February:

Purchases

OPI Got The Blues for Red. I love it and it's a nice different from OPI's Big Apple Red. It's more blue based and peffect for the colder months though I would have no problems wearing this or Big Apple Red year round.

I don't remember buying anything else.
:confused:


Decluttered

OPI A-Taupe the Space Needle- It's a brownish-green that looked off against my skin. It actually looked better on my toes than as a manicure, and I don't like to keep polishes that only look better as a pedi vs as a mani AND pedi. I also de-stashed:

KVD Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bow n Arrow- I tried my best to make this work with my MAC liners in Cork and Chestnut, but when it dried I looked sick. Plus it was old. I've seen YouTubers my skin tone who have used the same combination and it looked better on them. Maybe it was their lighting?

Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins Skin Refining Oil-
When I got my Josie Maran 500 point perk in the mail last month, it came with deluxe samples of the Argan Oil and the Argan Oil Light, and I told myself that I wouldn't open these until I finished the Refining Oil. I had maybe 2 weeks worth of the Refining Oil left before I tossed it. I've had it for 2 years and I only purchased it because it went with the moisturizer of the same name. I don't know if it made much of a difference to my complexion, though I liked the scent (nicely citrus-y).

MAC Blush in Sweet As Cocoa and Ambering Rose, NARS Blush in Exhibit A- Since I started wearing makeup more frequently (a little over 5 years ago), I've only had 5 blushes (MAC- Sweet as Cocoa, Warm Soul, Ambering Rose, NARS- Exhibit A and Taj Mahal). I de-stashed Warm Soul over a year ago as it it didn't show up on my skin. This month I de-stashed Sweet As Cocoa, Ambering Rose and Exhibit A. They are beautiful colors, but I had to force myself to use
Sweet As Cocoa and Ambering Rose, and Exhibit A was too much to try to figure out how lightly to dip my brush in because it's super pigmented. Because I depotted them I couldn't give them away. That leaves me with Taj Mahal, with I absolutely love. I've started to think that I'm not much of a blush person, but I realize that I just prefer golden peaches and oranges. If I ever decide to buy blush in the future, I'll look out for my preferences.


Used Up

Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Rollerball- I've had this rollerball for a few years now. I would say it's my favorite fragrance. I need to use up 3.4oz size I bought a few years ago during the VIB sale.

Fresh Vitamin Nectar Vibrancy-Boosting Face Mask - This was a Sephora 100 point perk. The scent is divine (fresh citrus) and the mask dries clear. The fun thing about this mask (and what makes it suck) are the fruit bits. Washing this mask off was a bit of a challenge because the fruit bits would get stuck in my hair (even while pulled back!)

MAC Eye Brow Pencil in Spiked- MY HG brow product. I tried the ABH Dip Brow pomade several years back. I even bought the #12 brush that's recommended for it. How my brows looked varied by the day becauseI couldn't get technique down. As soon as I was done with the pomade, I went back to Spiked. Pencils are just easier for me to use. Now I can move on to my backup!

MAC Lip Liner in Cork- I don't know how long I've had my Cork. I love using it with most of my lip colors, particularly when I wear my nudes. While visiting a friend in December, she let me have her Cork as it wasn't working for her. Glad I finished my original so I can move on to a fresh pencil!

MAC Studio CareBlend/Pressed Powder- This my second CareBlend. I like it but MSFN is my preferred face powder. Glad I can move on to the MSFN I bought back in December.

MUFE Excessive Lash (deluxe sample in Black)- I think I've had this for over 6 months and it was beginning to dry out. I have a deluxe sample of the Diorshow Mascara and 3 samples of MAC mascaras to move on to.

Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Teddy Bare- Love this. My favorite drugstore lipstick shade, but I've been itching to finish it up because I need to work on my MAC nudish shades and KVD Lolita. I got to the very bottom today.

NYC Liquid Lip Shine in Clear- A basic clear gloss. I might pick it up again one of these days but I have the Milani lip gloss in Bare Secret to get through.

UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original, Sin, and Eden (samples)- The Original is my preferred primer. Sin was too brought for my lids but I liked Eden. Now I can move on to my full size of Original.

Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cocoa Butter - It gets the job done. I have the Creme Brule scent to get through now.


Reflections & Next Steps

I've been feeling more stressed than normal, and playing in my makeup was a bit of an escape. Normally when I'm hyper stressed I eat more or shop more, both of which I didn't do much of this month.

I've been very content with my MAC Face & Body and Studio Water Weight foundations for over a year now, but seeing the upcoming Next to Nothing Face Colour gets me excited. It can be used over a primer but it can also be used before foundation
:confused:. I don't know, but I'm looking forward to testing out and hopefully buying it and the face powder in April.

I didn't wear as much makeup as I did in January, but I feel I was more creative with my eyeshadows this month. I've been going back and forth over whether to sell off my UD Electric palette, but I enjoyed playing around with it this month. I'm eying the MAC x9 palettes in Tropic Cool, Red, Hot, and Semi Sweet, but I want to give the Electric palette more of a chance before I decide what to do with it.
I've also noticed how much I enjoy using up my products (makeup, skin, and hair).

My biggest goals for March are to continue using up my products listed on my Use Up By April 1st list (about 10 full size and deluxe sample products) and to work on my winged liner look. I tried it this week and it was a HOT mess. I don't plan on making any major purchases in March.

[MENTION=51593]fur4elise[/MENTION] I love the drawers! Organization porn. :) I have my folded clothes in rows like that too - so much easier!

January - $0.00
February - $33.60 - Bite Amuse Bouche Cava

I'm running low on my current foundation and I'll need a new mascara in April. Will probably purchase a few things in March. I think my goal for the year is going to be to stay under $1,000 for all personal shopping - clothing, skincare, makeup, perfume, etc. That will probably be a challenge for me. Last year I spent quite a bit more than that, although about half was for a more professional work wardrobe. Right now I'm at about $300 for January and February - 30% at just over 15% of the year.

Good idea on keeping track of how much you're spending, ladies! I think I'll do that for the remainder of the year.

Spending for February 1 NYX eyeshadow in Golden peach (I love that colour) and one Quo Brush (finally found a Dupe for my MAC 226 yah!!!) and at 14$ is a bargain compare to MAC brushes.
BUT I stumble with my LOW-BUY with a big perfume purchased I discovered that BVLGARI au de Parfum au Thé rouge was sold at Saks in the USA only (didn't even want to ship in Canada) I ask my sister to ask her in-laws if it was ok to used their second home address in the states (they are retired snowbirds) to ship it there and they said if was ok. I really like that line (except for Thé bleu) they all smell lovely and I'm the proud owner of au de Parfum au Thé noir .... Thé vert will be next, I will add it on my 2017 xmas list LOL (yep already started)
Now i'm only waiting for the Viseart warm neutral palette to come back in stock on the Sephora website to buy it with my gift card that my husband gave me and I finally decided not to buy the Too face Peanut butter and honey palette based on the so-so reviews i saw in Temptalia's and several Youtube channel so money saved there!

I keeping up with using a cream makeup product everyday i'm wearing makeup. I only use 2 blue eyeshadows in my look this week so I have to step it up because i ''discovered'' MORE blue eyeshadows in my collection, WTF?!?!
Also I almost purchased Juvia's place Masquarade palette on Hautelook like 10 thousand time but resisted ....

February was another month of zero purchases for me. On the other hand, I didn't get through much either - wore only minimal makeup most of the month. Need to change that to get back to using things up!

Today's look! My goal for this week is to work on my winged liner, and I'm happy with today's result! Yesterday's turned out nice too. I started off with resting my pinky on my cheek for added leverage when I applied the liner on my right lid, but I felt comfortable enough to apply it without resting my pinking when applying the liner to my left lid. I also started off stretching my lid yesterday, but today I didn't do that. Not sure if it matters, but I'm right-handed.

Nice winged liner!! I gave up a long time ago. You have inspired me to try again!!

Did a little makeup purging earlier in the week. Out went...

* Five single eyeshadows -- four of which were Makeup Geek (Envy, Drama Queen, Corrupt, Sensuous), and the other was my Victoria's Secret e/s in Bunny. Mostly due to age. (I think I had Bunny for close to five or six years! And those MUG ones were among the first ones from that brand added to my stash not too long after launch about six years ago.) Also, I hadn't used those particular Makeup Geek ones in quite some time.

* Naked 2 palette. Again, an age thing. Also, even though I've gone for single eyeshadows in it, I hadn't used the palette for a complete look in some time. And now I have no more pre-made eyeshadow palettes! *bounce*

* Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil - Ash. I did get a good amount of use of it over the last year. However, it's not quite ashy enough for my tastes, and I'm enjoying my Inglot brow gel liner a lot more right now.

* mini MUFE Step 1 - Mattifying Primer. It was pretty low anyway, and I'm working through a full-size one.

* MAC Lipstick - Up the Amp. The very first lipstick I ever Back 2 MAC'ed for some years ago. I may purchase it at a later date.

* MAC Chromagraphic Pencil - NC15/NW20. Old and hasn't been used in some time. (My main use for it wasn't always in the lower waterline, though I have used it for that purpose. I've also used it to clean up around my lips when working with certain lip colours.)

And I did pick up one thing today: the new(ish) wet'n'wild Photofocus Foundation (I got the shade Porcelain). Very excited to try it out. Porcelain looks like it may work on my skintone. It's definitely less peachy, and a smidge darker than my MUFE Ultra HD (Y205, which is actually a little too light for me + the wrong undertone), but it's around the same depth as my ABH Stick Foundation (Porcelain; one of my better matches). If it does work out for me, it would be one of the very, very few drugstore foundations that does.

@LadyBug13 ~ This^^^^^It sure is impressive on other ladies! I just never mastered it with my eye shape...I can do a mini wing just to accent my lashes, as they naturally curl up at the corners...but anything winged out beyond that just does not work for me...Maybe I'll try for date night tonight ;)

@shellygrrl ~
Woot woot mama! Good job! I now love de-krappifying! I wanted to say thank you for your feedback on the MAC Prep & Prime Eye Base. I purchased a tube during the Belk beauty rush and have been using it for about 1 1/2 weeks. I have to say, no creasing and extended wear...and I am talking up to 12 hours of wear! A tiny bit goes a long way too.

~ Speaking of palettes...This morning I finally got out the new empty XL MUFE palette I purchased last fall, specifically for blush pans. I put all of my Ben Nye pans (13), 4 MAC pans and a couple Benefit pans (from a pre-made I got in 2015.) And I still have room for a few more pans. I was able to dispose of (2) Ben Nye paper/cardboard palettes and one old MAC palette (which I will B2M next time I go to the counter). It's really nice to have all those blushes organized by color and in one place!

Just coming in to say I did a smart no-buy move! I cancelled my Sephora PLAY! subscription! :D I had an underwhelming experience with it and ultimately think my $10 per month plus tax could be used elsewhere or saved. That is all!

Well done, Elise. My February has been a quiet one. Brought both face kits from the Masters collection, along with The Shining Hour and Soft Hint.

I decided to try out NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation, which is cheaper than my usual L'Oréal True Match Foundation. And I will say this about the foundation, the coverage is pretty good. As long as I don't go overboard with the amount I use, it does the job. Here's a pic of me wearing the foundation on two different occasions. Still need to update my tags on the post...

And in better light on my birthday... Ignore the eyeliner, it's a mess and didn't think about tightlining.

I'm breaking my Low Buy for lipstick overload (new mattes and metallics), and hopefully get back on track. I decided against Work It Out and possibly a few collections. I'm also avoiding other brands like the plague, which is usually quite hard for me to do when out shopping. But I'm doing good.

Yay! I've using my ELF Expert Liquid Liner (I think that's what it's called), @JerseyGirl. I'm interested in trying a cream or gel liner in the future. Considering MAC's Pro Longwear Fluidline or the Chromaline.

Yessss! I've been wondering about their subscription box, and just subscription boxes in general. Do you have other subscriptions that you could recommend @fur4elise ?

I'm already planning to do some damage in April, one of the reasons why I've been focusing on finishing up products since January.

I opened my Naked 2 palette today, and one of the shadows popped out! Can't remember which one it was, maybe Chopper. Luckily it landed back in the palette and not elsewhere. The same thing happened with Blackout a few years ago. Somehow it crumbled and stained the shelf I was storing it on. That Blackout was very pigmented, and it's in my Smoked Palette so I'm not that bummed about it.

Funny enough, last December was my first time buying eyeshadows that were NOT in pre-made palettes! I have 7 pre-made palettes and one DIY palette with 20 MAC shadows in it, my NARS Taj Mahal blush, and a small contour powder.

I didn't have a problem with shadows popping out of my Naked 2, but there were a few in there that weren't set properly. (I think it was a very common problem.)

FOTD...

* wet'n'wild Photofocus Foundation - Porcelain (first impressions below)
* MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer - NW15
* Kevyn Aucoin SSE - SX01
* Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder
* Cinema Secrets Ultralucent Setting Powder - Colorless
* Inglot AMC Brow Liner Gel - 18
* surratt beauty Expressioniste Brow Pomade
* MAC Prep and Prime 24-Hour Extend Eyeshadow Base
* Makeup Geek Eyeshadow - Hipster (lid)
* MAC Eyeshadow - Omega (crease)
* Smashbox Indecent Exposure Mascara
* MAC Blush - Next to Skin (contour)
* MAC Eyeshadow - Copperplate (to deepen contour at outer edge of cheekbones)
* MAC Blush - Taupe
* NYX Slim Lip Pencil - Baby Pink
* MAC Lipstick - Blankety

The colour match for the wet'n'wild foundation is a pretty decent one for me. It is a little bit too peachy when I swatch it out but it's not something that's super noticeable on my skin. I applied it with a combination of fingers and a beautyblender. I also noticed it emphasized some of my pores, but I think that'd be something easily remedied with primer. Wear time is good (needed to touch up with some setting powder around the nose at around the eight-hour mark, but I think that'd be typical for most foundations). I've not noticed any oxidizing. The other thing I noticed was the smell; it smells like paint thinner to me. (Revlon Colorstay's Combination/Oily formulation has a similar smell.)


I think I'd describe it as a sheer-medium coverage, with a natural finish.

Well done Shellygrrl!
speaking of letting items go, I did a de-clutter myself out went:
3 MAC Mineralize skin finishes warm blend, Earthshine, and a third one the name escapes me
3 NARS Blushers desire, an LE very very bright pink it's similar to exhibit A in intensity, and Gilda
Guerlain highlighter I purchased a long time ago
1 MAC 15 pro pan palette (self-made) greens/blue teal colors
All of my MAC pigments except for grape, push the edge,bloodline, and deep purple.
3 MAC Mineralize blushes 2 merrily and love thing
All of my MAC Mineralize eyeshadows except for guilt by association, as I use that one.
All of my MAC eye pencils( really really old)
All 5 of my MAC Paint pots never used them.

I'm running low on eyeshadow primer, I need to re-purcse my NARS, and I need a new brow gel. I think i'm going to try the Suratt one.
