Le sigh. I intended to avoid the Rimmel Apocalips line, but then I found a full display at Walgreen's and *had* to buy:
Then I found the new essence Sun-Kissed collection and bought:
- Soft Touch eye shadow (side note: not a mousse like the ones from the Fruity collection as I had been expecting. This is a cream shadow) in My Sunny Side and Sunset Paradise
- Cheek tint in Hello Summer! (I have a rule that says I can't buy blush since my subs send it more quickly than I can use it, but essence trend edition blushes are the one exception to this rule since they're under four bucks a pop. I don't buy all of them, though. In fact, I think the only other one -- and actually the one that kicjed off my blush poI bought was in February. I ended up getting this one because a jelly cheek tint sounded interesting)
- Nail polish in Hello Summer!, My Sunny Side, and Sunset Paradise
- Lipstick in Soak Up the Sun
And then I found a Rite-Aid that actually had the whole NYC New York Color Applelicious line, so I picked up:
- Pink Lady
- Apple Plum Pie
- Apple Blueberry Pie
- Applelicious Pink
- Apple Blossom
And a bottle of glycerin. Because glycerin is magic, and I've been meaning to get a bottle for ages and finally remembered to put it on my shopping list today.
I'm trying for a low-buy every month (because a no-buy for everything is *not* happening for me now that I've uncorked *that* bottle), but the only things from the above lists on the low-buy list were the essence items (I love their trend editions!), although glycerin *has* been a back-of-my-mind kept-meaning-to-put-it-on-the-low-buy-okay list item. On the up side, each chunk of this spree cost less than one Urban Decay liner.
(And then I got home and discovered my January Rising OCC Lip Tar! had arrived BRIGHT PINK! Yay! I didn't think I would see it for another month or two, and I didn't receive a shipping notice, so it was a *huge* surprise to see it in my mailbox.)
(Next weekend will be a better time for shopping restraint. I'll do my grocery shopping on Friday -- straight to Fred Meyer and home -- instead of running around town all day Saturday hitting one store after another because I'm going out for brunch with some coworkers on Saturday, and then my aunt is going to come over to hang out with my monsters that afternoon, and then I might go to a movie -- directly to the movie and straight back home since it will be late enough in the day that I won't feel like doing anything else -- after that, and then Sunday will be a lazy day.)
