Yay! When you do well, it's such a good feeling, isn't it?

I haven't used up anything this month, but I hit pan on an e/s and on my pressed Bare Minerals foundation.
I tossed a Neutrogena Mascara since it was so craptasic. I hate to toss things (I had it open less than a week) but it was so clumpy it had to go.
I'm working on finishing 3 lip products this month: Lancome Juicy Tubes in Rose Fishnets, A Liplicious Lip Gloss in Best Kiss (the kind that turns to your perfect shade of pink), and Pixi Magic Tink Tint (also the kinda that turns to your perfect shade of pink). These color changing glosses look absolutely horrid on me and they always turn super bright pink, so I use them while at home.
I also just opened a new L'oreal mascara, but I toss mascara every thirty days, so I don't really count it.

Good luck! I know you can do it. 3 lip products seems like a pretty reasonable goal. And I'm like you, too. I hate throwing anything out or getting rid of it, especially if it's been barely used (or not at all, which is a problem that I'm bumping into).

Amy! I have failed miserably since you've been gone. I blame you - ha ha. Came very close to buying eyeshadow this morning. Must resist sales.
Noooooo! I'm sorry! Haha, I'm back (at least for this thread!)
Don't do it, don't do it! Resist the sales.

I can't believe I haven't spent a single dollar on makeup and skincare during October. I've been living off my stash and beauty subs.
My favorite etsy make up seller is reformulating her really good stuff so I am determined to spend only on her stuff.
Maybe an early birthday gift from sephora for bf's sister's birthday present though :/ Does gifts for others count? lol
That is SO amazing! Keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to us all.

I am hanging on by a thread because I tech have subscription boxes that are coming at the end of the month but it is really difficult not to whip out that card and charge cosmetics. Anyone else feel me?
I had done really well on a no buy with makeup, and I still am for the most part. But I totally know what you mean. I've done really well as far as beauty products go for the last few months, but now that I'm thinking about all of the beautiful limited edition holiday sets, the special deals, and upcoming sales, I get all antsy. I love Christmas/holiday themed stuff, so just by throwing a picture of a wreath, Christmassy sparkles, or mistletoe (or whatevs) on the box, I'm already twice as likely to buy it lol.
