Aww, honey...I know how excited you are for BBR, and for you to just cut yourself off, well...that just really sucks. Hopefully you'll get some giftcards or something for Christmas that you can spend to your heart's content.

My family only buys gifts for the little ones because it just started becoming too darned expensive. My hubby already gave me my gift(diamond earrings & NARS palette)so I'm screwed. Oh well. It's my own fault. I'll just scour the bin when I can spend again.

Don't you worry your pretty little head darling! We won't let you be completely BBR-less! We <3 you too much to see you upset!

And yeah, I am so guilty of dropping crazy amounts of money on makeup. Sometimes I feel like its the only thing I can really splurge on.

 

[rbella]

You girls are too sweet. I'm sure at some point I'll be able to get something. I just need to take a break for right now. My spending is like my eating. OUT OF CONTROL!!! I get spend-happy especially during the holidays. I swear it is a sickness.

That was so funny. I wish they had showed more of the products though, or really mentioned them. It was kind of weird.

OK LADIES! I went to the Belk store and they had Chill and Dame Edna in beakers for customers to play with, but would not let us buy the collection. So I wanted to let you guys know that the Dame Edna stickers on the lipsticks and lipglasses were already peeling off. The MA said that not too many people had been handling/playing with them. It looks so bad, BUT I put in my order at the store anyway!

What did you think of the Dame Edna colors?And what did you order

 

[Cocopuff]

The colors are SSSOOOO pretty! I ordered

Hot Frost, Splendid, Possum Nose Pink, What a Dame, Spectacle & Royal Tour Eye Trio.

I am still unsure about the Splendid lipglass. I will need to play around with my lip liners. I might use a Current or Nightmoth to darken it up for my skin tone.

is there a group support here for make up addiction? i spent triple 0 last year & i still can't stop.

 

[Sanayhs]

As for out of control spending... see my collection thread in the traincase. Know that it has grown since then, more is on the way, and I'm still under the year mark.

Yeah. Not so hot.

Great choice

I went to Macy's today and I they had the collection in a clear box! It was a look but don't touch kinda thing but nevertheless I was able to have a peek. I am getting ALL of the lippies for sure. They look great. I'm very, very disappointed in the palettes. I'm just not feeling them but then again I am in a TOTAL makeup funk right now.

The MAs had some fun with the beauty powders because you could totally notice that some of the over spray was missing. I think I am going to get one, the pinky one.

Ugh. Those lippies......

 

[Susanne]

Oh, the lippies

rbella! I wish I could give you a big hug right now. I was already lectured by my parents that I am a shopaholic who spends a shit load of money on clothes, shoes and makeup.

That is why I did my winter cleaning and took out NEW and old stuff such as clothes, some have tags, some dont, and clothes that I have worn but were in good shape all to list them on ebay!!!

Its a good idea b/c I sold a lot of stuff just to get back in shape again.
Im also planning on selling a lot of my MAC and other makeup items.
It really gets pointless to buy in bulk and things you will never use.

So suga plum I know the feeling all too well

 

[darkishstar]

UGH.
I've been spending too much too. Just the last 2 weeks I've had 3 packages of clothes come for me.. and I haven't actually bought MAC for at least a month since the holiday sets came out.. but my money is going down the drain... and then there's these boots I still have to pay for from ebay.

Too much of my clothes have tags on them still as well.. :/

So yeah.. Rbella, don't feel sad. I told myself that after Kanga-Rouge, BBR, and HK, I would not be buying anymore MAC for at least until I get a job. Big hugs to you! Let's all meet our goals!
