I'm going on a shopping ban!
I have more than enough makeup to sustain me for years. As someone who doesn't wear makeup everyday, it is strangely odd that I keep buying more when I absolutely do not need it. I believe the term is called addict. I also do not need other materialistic items regardless of how much I fancy it. As of this moment, buying anything that is not a necessity is considered a luxury. Retail therapy is no exception.
I don't want to be a makeup collector. I want to be a makeup lover and enthusiast. Owning lots of it doesn't make me one, but enjoying and using it does. So, I'm going to start thoroughly utilizing what I have because I am not a collector! I'm an enthusiast!
I will still be blogging and perhaps less frequently (but of course, I'll still visit others). There probably won't be any hauls, except from what I've already purchased before the ban. Hopefully, this will also give me incentive to do more looks/FOTDs and maybe do tutorials :)
Shopping ban is in effect today until further notice and I have yet to determine when it ends.

I am also not buying any more make-up for a while. I have WAY too much that I hardly ever use. Why keep adding to that?
Something that's really helped me choosing tattoos is finding artwork that I really love and enjoy looking at every day. I love female graffiti art and all of my tattoos have had that theme for a while now. If your tattoo has long lasting appeal, then you're good.
That being said, go for a temporary one! It's just decoration -- temporary or permanent. People who say otherwise are in it for the attitude and not the beauty. :)
LOL i feel yah girl...maybe you can do a clean out sale...or start swapping more of your stuff on makeupalley...that way you can still get new stuff but not have to spend!
you are a brave one..
im kind of a newbie at this... its been like a yr that ive been real into it (deep hehe) but good luck on the strike! :)
Mwah!!
Good luck..we're on the same boat..but i tend to have suicidal thoughts and jump off all too often! But seriously..totally get u, and im sure we'll save good buckage going on a ban
ohhh i totally agree with you on the difference between collector and being an enthusiast. I'm slowly cutting down too.. just can't do the cold turkey though lol. I'm pretty proud of my mediocre collection compared to some of the ladies out there, it's surprisingly small compared to some of bloggers out there LOL.
I am the same with you, i don't actually wear makeup everyday either! xP
Goodluck!! i think you can do it :)
lol Gee! yea i've been trying to keep myself from buying more makeup too. i keep having these glitches of temptation though! haha esp since i literally live a few minutes from riteaid, walgreens, and cvs. and then i see all these sales and i've been itching to start collecting pigments/sparkle dusts/etc but i've been telling myself NO! haha i'm gonna try to utilize a lot of the makeup i already have before i venture out and buy more =) we can do this!
oh gosh i totally agree!! ive been a long time reader but i really feel the need to post! you've inspired me with the whole blog about makeup and i stand by you with the ban! i love love love makeup too but i dont wear everything all the time. more power to ya!
there seems to be a trend going on where a lot of us bloggers are goin "on strike", as you put it. haha. good luck! i should probably do the same. we should all start a support group or something. :P
it seems that everyone's on strike now! LOL i am in no buy too!!!! Goodluck to us!!!
im on a strike too... i wear makeup everyday, but its gotten to the point where i have SO much makeup and end up using only a few colors everyday! :D
YIKES! im with you! we can do this! hehe
ps: im a new reader and started a new beauty blog. added you :D
I'm on this ban as well! I wonder how long we'll last with this ban.
aw. the banner is so cute.
I totally agree with you, having too much make up in the beauty case isn't good! I hope do the same, M.A.C. counters are my wonderland, a tentation i must avoid!
Have a great week end.

imagine all the money you're gunna be saving. I'm not buying anymore make up either, i have enough to last me years.
i also try not to shop whenever i can although it's very hard to do so! lol. i also only shop for makeup I WILL USE, i don't want to buy stuff just 'cause i need to buy something. i need to love it to actually buy it tee hee.
Thanks for your support everyone!!!
If you're on a ban with me, GOOD LUCK!!! We can do it!! Though, I'm already itching for a new blush.
Like Tracy said, we should make a support group lol.
