Thanks for your opinion, I actually think you're right as I'm using my least favourite instead of the things that really work!! It's hard at the moment to let go of those lipsticks I bought but perhaps it would be better as they don't work on me!!
Interesting! I don't think that's it since it's been pretty mild here lately.. I rarely get them but when I do it's after a really bad cold or if I have a fever. However, there were a couple of times I remember as a kid finding an old lip balm in the bottom of a drawer and slathering it on only to wake up with massive blisters which is what made me think it might be the lip products. I'm not too broken up over it, the only products I'm tossing are 2 lip glosses and a few almost empty balms I've been using. I've got to be real with myself.. if I couldn't use up two itsy bitsy MAC glosses in a whole year (actually not even a quarter of them!) they have to go and I need to be more selective in the future.
I find if I can delay purchases for a few days the desire slowly diminishes. I tend to want to shop when I'm bored or as a reward for something positive/comfort for something negative (covering all bases lol!). Maybe put it on a list and wait a week or so to see if you really still want it? Or make a rule that you have to use EVERY neutral eyeshadow you have in your collection at least once before you buy it? That one is a real wake-up call!! Lol.
Skip lol it didn't perform good in swatches and you already have similar nars palette =) And when you don't even use that one often, you wont be using the NARSissist one either ^^ It will just sit around in your drawers and the plastic packaging will get gross over time, I soooo hate their packaging ugh
Congrats, my dear!Hi Ladies! I know this is off topic, but I just wanted to share something with you all - I've been waiting for this moment for years and years & I'm just so excited! I just got hired as a substitute teacher! WOO HOO!ompom: I think this relates to the Low-Buy becuase I can now funnel my energies into my career instead of just shopping haha!
HA! I do that too!
Deals with yourself are always good!
I think waiting to use up a similar blush before you buy a new one is a great compromise, and it will motivate you to finish the products you have!
Gold star for you!!
Shiseido do very good pale foundationsGold star for you!! :star: That's awesome! Cull those sub-par items, it's liberating! My lust list has multiplied from one product to like 5 overnight..I really want to try one of the NARS Sheer foundations and their Radiant Creamy Concealer. The only current match I have is MAC MSFN in Light and I want to find a liquid foundation..F&B C1 and Matchmaster 1.0 are both way too dark/yellow in winter (or maybe they oxidized, IDK). Siberia might just do it! I'm forcing myself to wait until I finish up the 2 powder foundations I have so that's thankfully keeping me at bay. I'm also peeking in at the Proenza Schouler thread because of the ombre powders.. Hoping to hate them as swatches come out so I can skip right on by.
Wow I thought I was light haha! I'm the lightest shade in most or all the foundations I've tried. Face and Body C1 is ok on me though as is Matchmaster 1. Dior BB cream oxidises SOOO badly on me though! Trying to go through the bottle in summer and even so it's still too orangey!Shiseido do very good pale foundations
Haha I didn't think I was that light until I kept trying the lightest shades and having none of them work. F&B and Matchmaster were okay for me until fall when they were horrible. I basically have two problems: 1) My skintone is neutral so anything that leans too far one way is too much. 2) My t-zone is darker than my jawline/neck/chest and I like to match to the lighter skin.. MAs always want to match me to the darker parts but then I get photoshop face. Not the flawless, airbrushed kind of photoshop either.. Like this, but reversed:
Lol! Sorry everyone for getting OT, I really had nothing but pure intentions I swear! But yes this does relate to the low-buy because in an imaginary perfect world I don't want to be buying any wrong shades ever again.
I might go with NARS Siberia and maybe the Chantilly or Vanilla Creamy Concealer next time I dare to set foot in a Sephora so I'll let you know what I think. I'm always up for recommendations too!oh and powder is MSFN in Light, always!
I would guess nars siberia would work for you because I'm very pale but that one was too pale even for me, I got Nars sheer glow foundation in Mont blanc =)
I agree!! Skip, skip, skip!
