I shy away from bright colors as well so I since I am challenging myself to do 2 make up looks a week, I'm going to make one of them out of my comfort zone and one not so much. Maybe I can discover some colors that way I would not have normally considered. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Originally Posted by ladygrey /img/forum/go_quote.gif
That's excellent! You've done so well, you're definitely a model for the rest of us striving to be on a no-buy. I think you'll like the Color Tattoos. I have pomegranate punk, and it really makes a lovely base for shadows. It's not a total replacement my MAC paint pots since that's where I get my softer more neutral primers/bases, but I really do like it. Let me know how you like the Sugarpill shadows. I've wanted to try some of their products for ages since I've heard excellent things about them, but I tend to shy away from brighter colors.
My goals for this month:
-finish off the products that have just a little bit left in them. They're taking up so much space!
-Cut way, way back on purchases. I'm not making any online purchases, so this should really help a lot.
Maybe we can both work on using bright colors! I bought the UD anniversary palette recently, and it has some absolutely stunning colors in there, but I find myself still reaching for the nudes and neutrals all the time. I think I'm going to work on using colorful eyeshadows and see what kind of looks I can create with those.Originally Posted by Pancua /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I went and looked at the Color Tattoo pots today and I MUST HAVE THEM ALL! Especially Pomegranate Punk! OMG! Bye bye NO buy! LOLOriginally Posted by ladygrey /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I think I'm going to NEED to do something in line with this. My husband just looked at his paystub online for July, and it's $900 less, making it a 25% cut to his pay. I really can't afford to splurge on anything, especially if this is now what he'll be making. I'm glad I cancelled Glossybox, and I can skip Julep and Beauty Army every month. Ugh. I really should go through and add up everything I spent in June, but I'm not going to since I know it will just make me want to shrivel up and die. Siiiigh. I was planning on a low-buy, but it looks like a no-buy is in order now.Originally Posted by LoriAnnLV /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I'm really going to try to do a complete no-buy this month. Nothing but the essentials like food and gas. Definitely no makeup or clothes. I had a lot of expenses in May/June and did a lot of shopping and it's starting to catch up with me. Ack! I also need to start saving for my trip back to the east coast this fall. My goal is to use up things from my stash and all my samples. I'm keeping my Birchbox and Sample Society but I'm skipping LBB this month. I never thought I'd skip LBB!
I'm in the same boat--well, kinda. I'm definitely not going to be buying any makeup, but there is a pair of Batman Chuck Taylors that I want. Nerdy, yes. They are awesome! But also kind of expensive,so I dunno.Originally Posted by Pancua /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I'm trying to decide if I want to get make up this month or shoes. LOL
Walgreens has a Cover Girl BOGO50% off sale going on and there are some pretty awesome coupons in the sunday paper. But ShoeDazzle has the BOGO Free special going on. DECISIONS! LOL
