The Lovely Muffin

I've put myself on a spending ban now after going through all my cosmetics items, hair care, skin care, body care, nail care, perfume, the lot.

Wonder how long I'll last?!

I'm on a buying cosmetics ban too! :pac:

Today I went into Boots to pick up some moisturiser 'cause mine was taken from me by customs in the airport 'cause I decided not to check my bag at the last minute and forgot about the 100ml rule for carry on luggage. Anyway, I lost some good stuff. But yeah, was replacing the moisturiser and found myself at the till with a nail varnish and a mascara too!

My favourite mascara has in fact dried up, but I have two others which are fine, I just don't like 'em as much so I put the mascara back. I feel so proud, although a lil sad.

last fri Got Soap & Glory Whirly Girl set and The Bright Stuff both half price.
Half price especially when the indivadual products together cost more than the set box and only half price

verywell

just ordered naked palette 2.

This thread is definitely so bad for my bank balance

Dark Phoenix

had a bit of a binge this month. I blame this thread - it inspires me to buy things!

Joico K Pak for fine hair. You have to blow dry this in insteda of applying like a conditioner and rinsing. I like it so far my hair is dry and damaged a bit at the bottom and its looking better after!



Angelica in mandarin - hated this when I applied it



Morroccan Oil shampoo. The place I went to only had the volume one so I got that. Its not bad left my hair nice and shiny. My only concern is it may make it greasy which I don't need so will have to wait and see



Got this on ebay and it arrived today cant wait to try them out!!



and this one OPI Nicki Minaj

Just a few things I've picked up lately.

Rimmel London's Kate Moss in 12, such a fun color

Revlon Lip Butters in Peach Parfait, Sweet Tart, & Creme Brulee. These things are awesome.

Ahh I want those Revlon Lip Butters, they look class! Silly spending ban >.<

SmokeyEyes

Yeah they look really interesting! Are they more like lipsticks or lipbalms when they're on?:)

I think they are more like an incredibly moisturizing lipstick because the ones I have are pretty pigmented. Sweet Tart is very pink on me! Some of the colors in the collection seem to be fairly sheer. They don't last very long, though! But I think they are good value for what they are. There are a couple helpful youtube reviews out there with swatches (which is how I picked my colors) and I read on beaut.ie that the lip butters will be in Ireland by April.

Ooh I love the look of these too! I'm not really into lipsticks but I love balms and glosses so these seem perfect for me. Unfortunately I too am on a self imposed spending ban for the foreseeable future. Boo-urns.

Not gonna lie, I did go looking for 'em today! :pac: But they weren't there. So I bought a Revlon lip stain instead and I absolutely hate it! That'll teach me!

Haha I live in the US currently so I get access to some things before you guys, or sometimes things are easier to find (and usually cheaper) but there is always something I want that I can't find here! I usually have a list of things to stock up on when I visit my boyfriend in Dublin... For example, I spied those new Soap & Glory makeup products in Boots at Christmas but wasn't sure what to make of it, so once I read into them a bit more I might grab a few bits when I'm back in March!

I'd swap Soap and Glory for CoverGirl, Hard Candy, Physicians Formula, Almay and even Wet'n'Wild anyday!

And even the brands available in European drugstores are nearly half the price in the US! I bought huge sizes of Redken All Soft shampoo and conditoner in Walmart for less than $13 each. This is why I go over with an almost empty suitcase and come back with a bulging one.:)

Ugh, I know how you feel! I always felt like I was being cheated when I lived in Ireland and had to pay 2 times, sometimes 3 times as much for something I knew I could get for less back home! :mad: So now I know to stock up if I ever end up coming back for an extended time

I love the idea of a swap but to be honest sending a package from here can really put a dent in your wallet! But I have thought if I were to send one from Dublin next time I visit my bf. It's an idea, anyway!

Agreed! Whenever I go visit my family in the US I always stock up on beauty products, moreso than clothing/shoes. We are totally ripped off here!

Got this today. Best. Hand cream. Ever.
This smell is divine, I'm actually so devastated that I don't have it in perfume form. A little squirt is all you need and it leaves your hands feeling really soft with no grease. Looks like it will last me forever!
