When I'm feeling the "itch" I:
* Reorganize my stash (usually I rediscover lost gems)
* Search current makeup looks, and dupe them using my stash (this usually works for the new MAC collections, and I usually discover that I already have really similar colors already)
* Try to remember that I really don't need 20 different shades of the same color. They may look different swatched, but once they are applied they will look really similar. (like Mac's going bananas and Mac's Sun Blonde. Are they really so different that I can't achieve the same look? Do I have to match the look exactly? Can I achieve a similar look using my current stash?)
* I make a deal with myself that I have to actually finish 3 items to buy one
* Try different combinations of base and shadows, or lipstick and gloss, to get different looks and finishes
