Confessions: Purchasing on a Makeup Ban.

So as my previous post stated, my No Makeup Buying Period is over early. I do think it helped me fend off a lot of temptation, making me re-think about whether I should purchase a product or not.

Because I’ve been a terrible promise keeper, I might as well tell you guys what I got! Yay!

  1. MAC “All That Glitters” and MAC “Soft Brown” Eyeshadows. These two are great basics. I find that I’m getting more attracted to neutrals these days.
  2. Ardell “Wispies” Strip Lashes. Gorgeous volume and length that doesn’t look drag queeny.

  3. Ardell Duralash Naturals Individual Lashes. I’m still a little shaky with putting this on, so I need more practice. It looks stunning though once they are on correctly.

  4. MAC Lipstick in “Patisserie”. My everyday creamy pink lipstick.

  5. Sephora by OPI in “Worth My Weight”. Two words: glitter fiesta!

  6. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner. I’m going to give liquid liner another go, since the previous ones I’ve tried are terrible. This one is very easy to use.

  7. Smashbox WISH For The Perfect Pout Lipgloss Set. Six glosses: 2 full size and 4 “fun size” as I like to call them. I love them. :)

Savings for IMATS Toronto 2009

On a different note, the main reason for my No Makeup Buying Period was to save up for IMATS Toronto on November 22. And I have savings! So much that I might only be using half of it. We’ll see how much I get tempted.

Overall, I think the No Makeup Buying Period was a semi-success. I know I probably would have gotten so much more if I wasn’t thinking about it.

  1. HAHAHAHAH!!!

    Because I've been a terrible promise keeper, I might as well tell you guys what I got! Yay!

    I love it.

    Hey, I feel like trying out that Mac lipstick now. Any chance you could post a pic of before and after of your lips?

    I feel like I should move from lip balm to lip stick..

    And I can't deal with liquid liner. Pencil all the way, because I'm always too annoyed to do it right/perfectly, and it always screws up

  2. Hi FB,

    LOL, right? What's so fun about keeping it a secret?

    Sure, I'll try to get a before and after lip swatch. That means I gotta take care of the 'stache first. LOL.

    I'm a huge gel liner fan. So easy, but looks so perfect. I'm probably not gonna get liquid liner any more after this one.
