I'm a point hoarder: After this month's reviews are done, I will have 985 points on my main account. And I'm just not seeing anything in the shop I really want, so the balance will just keep going up up up, although my annual subscription *will* be up in a month or two, so maybe I'll try to use the points for that since they used to allow that. I had points on other accounts that I used for some shopping sprees: The stila lip gloss and smudgestick holiday sets, nail polish, hair pins, and a few other things I can't recall. I still haven't used any of the gloss, but I *love* the eyeliners! I'm tempted to buy another pack so I have duplicates in my makeup bag, but I *will* stay strong! One set is plenty, especially considering the UD liners and shadow pencils and tarte shadow sticks I have. I'm thinking about some of the other smudgesticks in colors that weren't in the set, like dark blue or peacock, though. I don't have any dark blue liners, so I'm not duplicating anything. I'm just expanding my color options.
And I *was* going to splurge on another bottle of Nuxe multipurpose oil because it worked wonders for me last winter -- but then I received a $100 Chella moisturizer in a sneakpeeq box that made my skin FREAK THE HELL OUT, which caused me to Google "allergic eczema" on Christmas Eve since it had been going on all weekend, and then I discovered my HG moisturizer when I was desperately searching for *something* to treat the nastiness: Cetaphil. Walgreen's version of Cetaphil, to be exact. Less than eight bucks for sixteen ounces. No need for that Nuxe oil.
If Birchbox started carrying Tokyomilk, though, I would run through those points *very* quickly. Tainted Love is the only alcohol-based fragrance I've been able to deal with in a few years, and I might be able to handle other scents from them if I could tear myself away from TL long enough to try something else from the line. Or, hey, I'll settle for TL hand cream. Oh, and Carnival Wax. I really, *really* want 1971, but I'm having a hard time justifying $90 for one rollerball when I flit from one perfume oil to another to another to another. It will take me probably at least ten years to use that sucker up. But if I could use points for it, I would snatch it up in an instant.
