I can't wait to try this! Typically, with that inner corner hooded lid, I have to mask it by blending both above and below it with a darker color to camo it, and trick the eye that it one fluent lid. (this works, but i don't always want to wear the smokey eye, so...) lighter colors just draw attention to it and bright or metallic colors draw attention to an area that I want to hide. Now, I have a place to put all of those beautiful colors in my palette that get neglected! thank you.

I'm going to buy myself Stewart's book, because it's fantastic, but weirdly difficult to find in libraries (even college libraries). I actually have Sacred Luxuries on my shelf right now!

Timeframes help people stay on task so it might help if you find temptation in a new release or find yourself growing bored with the project/lack of progress. (This is coming from someone who bookmarks the next chapter just to see some progress even reading a novel.)<br /><br />I’ve always wondered how so many vloggers/bloggers can continue to have content while on a no-buy (and assuming without PR as well). I guess that’s where creativity comes in: using what you have, inspiration posts, empties, declutters and innocuous wish lists. <br /><br />...I just answered my own question.

I wouldn't beat myself up too much if you end up buying something you really want and will use. I really am trying not to buy more makeup for my stash (the stuff I use, the non-collectibles) but if it's limited edition I have a much harder time saying no. Anyway, I'm super excited for your ancient beauty blog to make a comeback - how I didn't know about it before is beyond me! I'm sure you've read it but I still wanted to say how much I enjoyed Susan Stewart's Cosmetics and Perfume in the Roman World. I'm also eyeing Sacred Luxuries by Lise Manniche - if you've read it let me know! I'd love for you to review both of these books. :)The Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443123040139403867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-17517472712859867702019-01-23T00:23:55.210-08:002019-01-23T00:23:55.210-08:00Definitely on a low buy.

My poison of choice the past couple of years has been K-Beauty, but I seem to have settled into the products I know works for me, so it's replacement only there. We've got some financial goals I want to meet and my beauty spending was getting in the way of that. I think for me I've also got a handle on most of my anxiety, so I'm not using beauty spending as a form of self-soothing any more. I'm definitely not deprived, just not having the thrill of new products, which is a pretty short lived high.<br /><br />I don't think you need more rules at all, you've obviously thought about it carefully, and then you can be as strict or as loose with it as you like.

But it's also in part due to receiving quite a fair bit of free swag from my work. I think I'm just seriously fatigued, yes. Being busy helps me not to buy shit, I find. And being focused on larger financial goals. I don't see it changing any time soon unless I suddenly use up a ton or make up, haha. Good luck on your no buy, I think if you don't think too much about it, the fatigue will naturally keep you away from new shiny things.

I tried pc bha 2% but it made it worse. <br /><br />I wanna get this TO product for my red marks, I used pc retinol again 2wks ago and my skin started purging? Like crazy. Not worth it imo. Bye PC retinol, u will go in the trash. <br /><br />HOW I CLEARED MY CYSTIC ACNE<br /><br />What works for me, I discovered it 6months ago is probiotic pills and omega 3 fish oil capsules. From having cystic chin acne ALL the time for a year, to never. <br />After a week of taking those I already had results.
