I purposefully haven't been buying the things off of my list!  It's taking every bone in my body to not buy this whole UD lip set though.  Maybe I'll talk to my stepmother and see what she says.  I think I need it.

I've been trying so hard not to buy wishlist items as well! I'm so tempted but I haven't gone mad yet.

I'm trying to justify it as "I put that I want berries on my list.. and MOST of these aren't berries..."  I'm just in love with the formula and every time I wear 69 I get so many compliments..  I would cry if I got that whole set probably.  But I really can't.. I'm doing my second installment of my 3/4 sleeve at the end of December which will be another $400.

I'll have you know that my excitement will last through the new year! I love seeing everyone open their present!

Well that makes me feel better then :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 
 
One thing that's helping me not buy my wishlist items is the fact that I'm on a no buy. I get one day for the next month and a half to buy anything and that is Black Friday. I'm really looking forward to receiving my preset from my SS because this is the only present I'll be getting for Christmas. We had a few unexpected expenses come up and so my present is postponed indefinitely. I am so excited and grateful that this Secret Sant exchange as been setup.

 
So excited! I'm almost done shopping but will see what Black Friday holds. I am also waiting until some pics arrive so that I can add a pic of the toddler or similar. I feel like nail ss is harder for me because it is just a bunch of individually wrapped nail polishes and feels random bc I didn't do a particular set of polishes for my nail ss. (One is a DL though.)

I'm in the same boat. This has been so much fun to shop for!!!
 
Aww man, I found this thread way too late! Sorry to my secret santa that my wish list sucks! I promise I'll be happy with whatever you give me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I'll try to continue to update my list over the next few days. 

But this thread is super helpful for stalking who I have :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I'm just so excited to be putting everything together--I've been planning and writing notes and I'm just so excited to start shopping and crafting for you!! 

Now on to catch up to the last 100 or so pages ... 

 
I had to cut myself off from shopping for my ss, lol (The second I walk into a real store I'll probably pick up even more for her! I know I'm way over the limit, but I just love to give and I really want to make her happy...you never know, maybe this is the only gift she'll get this year or something). But this morning, I got an email as a "reminder" about my cart...I'm pretty sure I checked out all the way through a while back...

Now I gotta check cause I know I went through the credit info and shipping options...ugh. Frustrating since it should be already on its way...I don't want to make my girl wait! At least if the gift does get sent a little later, I know I'm not the only one that had to delay shipping.                :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />    Hopefully it's a glitch on their part.

Haha, I went to sleep one night and was about 60 pages behind the next morning....I just gave up lol! I only went back to stalk.

 
Ok...so it says "processing" on most of the items, but it would appear that they are paid for as I thought. Just get here already, goodies! I wanna wrap you and sprinkle you with glitter.  ...maybe not the glitter, she might have carpet lol.

 
I was thinking of getting the UD lip set or splitting it with someone, but I already have F-Bomb and Protest and 3 of the colors don't interest me at all.  It's a definite pass for me.

 
The Ulta order that's been taking FOREVER to get here (I put polish in the order like an idiot) comes today. SS this should be the last of your order!! I can't ship 'til the 6th though. Hubby coming home meant 2 half checks, grrr. So the 6th will be the soonest.

I swear Ulta ships on the back of snails.    It takes two or three days for them to actually ship and then it seems like comes as slow as ipsy.

I haven't purchased anything from my wishlist, either..even though I REALLY want to..I'm refraining. Stay strong ladies!

Oh it's been hard lol, refraining as well. 

 
Dear SS- I haven't bought anything on my list! (And trust me, when Amy posted that the royal sugar pigment was *finally* back in stock last week, every part of me wanted to throw money at her and her pigments. I just need that so bad, haha!) Anything I had on my wishlist in my bio that I bought was updated almost immediately, way before anyone was assigned to me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So no worries- besides, anything I have on my wishlist is probably something I'd love a dupe of anyways, lol. But seriously, I went on a no-buy a while back so I could save and spoil my girl!

Ughhh I really wanna get these 6 items from Ulta for my girl....but I really, really should stop. I just don't have anyone else really to buy makeup things for- it's so fun! If one of those (the main item) goes on sale, I don't think I could not buy it for her. Just not looking like this specific thing is gonna be on sale for black Friday :/ Guess I'll just have to wait see.

I think not having anyone to buy makeup things for is my problem too.  I just want to keep shopping because it's so fun buying makeup things for someone else.  I keep adding things to carts and then closing browser windows trying to keep myself from buying any more...

It'd probably be faster. I've had two orders placed after get here with time to spare. I'm so glad it's finally here. Next time I'll go to the one down the street, yeesh!

haha yes! Although, I just found out that I have a code for 10% off Sephora...so I could get that bigger-ticket item...but I refuse to pay for shipping so I'd *Have* to spend a bit more....lol. Maybe cyber Monday will mean free shipping....I'm not having a hard time closing those windows lol.
