so true! and yet somehow it all ends up on my countertop anyway
i'm not really OC when it comes to purchasing products, but if there's something i really love i.e. clinique creamshapers, i have to buy almost every shade coz i know that i'll use them. or at least that's what i tell myself

Answer:

Answer:
Originally Posted by miss willow I'm fairly OC about everything, but channel it into research about makeup rather than buying it I'm just too poor to buy everything I want, so I read and research and lemm and make copious lists and spreadsheets...but don't actually buy that much these days. Maybe $500 a year???
Spreadsheets ay? What a great idea!

Answer:
GWP's are my weakness!

Answer:
GWP'S!!!!! Those teensy tiny cute products suck me in every time.....and they're usually in colours that don't suit me, and I have to buy stuff I don't need to get them.....and the price point that you have to reach before scoring your 'gift' always seems to be rigged so that you end up having to spend over that amount to get it....

Answer:
I too have a serious problem.
I would seriously go NAKED and HUNGRY before i give up my excessive buying of high end make up, skin care and hair care.

Answer:
This thread is talking to me... I've just realised I have quite a few items I've owned for more than a month and never used. Not good.
My problem is collecting 'sets' of things ie one Hard Candy quartet turned into five. My newest love are Nars e/s duos - I'm on three but I can just see it increasing dramatically...

Answer:
It's nice there are others out there
I have many things that are still boxes
I agree the spreadsheet idea is good.... But I think it may result in me buying more.

Answer:
I'm not so Obsessive Compulsive about buying things- with no income, any money I have goes on food However I have loooong lists of things I want. Much time has been spent researching what I will buy as soon as I can afford it. I'm always playing with and organising the makeup I do have. My boyfriend patiently pretends to listen while I tell him about whichever product I've most recently fallen in lust with and am desperate to own.
