Uh Huh Her
Ugh, Halloween limited edition stuff is my downfall! I made my list of allowed things for October, and it's completely unreasonable. Halloween nail strips, loose pigments, nail polish, lip gloss, perfume oil, bath stuff -- just crazy. But I didn't spend my Halloween budget for apartment stuff (dishes, cookie jars, etc.), so I will just take that money and use it for Halloween makeup stuff. No list of allowed items, just a dollar limit, since I probably have more things on my potentially-alowed list than the budget will accommodate. ETA October plan:
- Pacifica warehouse sale: Everything I can comfortably carry in my City Lights Bookstore tote bag. It turns out that the warehouse is on my bus line, so I'll take the bus there and back instead of drive because that will keep me in check and prevent me from going overboard. And I'm specifically identifying the bag I can use because it's smaller than the rest of my tote bags, so that will further restrict my binge-shopping!
- Glamour Doll Eyes sub if I can get it (whatever length I can get, but a 6-month would be preferable!)
- maybe GDE Foil Me if it comes back in stock
- benefit advent calendar (crossing my fingers that it doesn't sell out before the 11th! That's the earliest I can order it)
- Hit Polish mystery sets (if they happen)
- as always, essence trend edition stuff with a $20 limit (I came nowhere near that for September, and it doesn't look like the collection for October is going to have more than one or two things that I will want, but I'll put this here just to be safe)
- subs (half of them are prepaid anyway)
- stila smudge stick set if it shows up on Birchbox (because then I can use points instead of money)
- the Geek Chic set of the month, whatever it is, assuming they have one**
- Urban Decay Ocho Loco 2 eyeliner set! FORTY-EIGHT EYELINERS! I repeat that to myself in all-caps every time I think about buying eyeliner now.
- UD Vice 2 palette. I have over a hundred different eyeshadows as it is. I can survive without it.
- tarte LipSurgence set. I have enough lip stuff, especially since I just got the Sephora Give Me More Lip set yesterday. I still haven't used up the two LipSurgences I got a year and a half ago in swaps.
- Eyeliners, period. I have already covered that topic in another post in this thread.
- Any other loose pigment
- Eye primer! As soon as I use *all* of the eye primers I have, I will be getting more GDE Control Freak, but I have more than enough to get through the month.
- Any other loose pigments not expressly listed above
- Specific Pacifica prohibitions: candles and reed diffusers. Nothing in any of their fruity scents (exception: lip products), Tahitian Gardenia, or Island Vanilla.
