49 days down...

But 316 to go! That's how many days are left for my no buy to end. What was I thinking in committing to not buying any unnecessary make up for a whole year? There are so many great collections coming out this year and it's so hard to resist such pretty make up especially when there have been some enablers (ahem I am talking to you Karen, Lilan & Kelly).

I have purchased 5 things & two of them are kind of an exception:

TheBalm TimeBalm Concealer in Light/Medium - I ran out of my Make Up Forever under eye concealer and read on Karen's blog how much she liked it. I've been using it for 3 weeks and it's a great product. Lasts all day, conceals my dark circles and doesn't crease.

Studio Fix Lash - read some great reviews and so far, I really like this mascara.

Nars Sheer Glow foundation in Barcelona - I ran out of my MAC Studio Fix Fluid which was my holy grail foundation. I wanted to try something new and I am pleased with the coverage I get from Nars.

Viva Glam Gaga & Viva Glam Cyndi lipsticks - now these weren't a necessity but they are limited edition. I didn't want to buy them on Ebay next year at a higher price. Later I found out that while these were limited edition, they will have them available for a year until the next spokesperson for MAC. Ooopppsss! All the proceeds go to the MAC AIDS fund so at least it's going to a good cause, right? Don't judge me.

I am also excited that I get buy two new Zoya polishes without breaking my no buy. How will I do that? I got an email from Zoya that I can get two free polishes with a $10 purchase using the code NYFW in honor of Fashion Week. The coupon is good through tomorrow at 5 PM. I'm in need of nail polish remover & actually had the Zoya one in my Amazon cart. Now I will just order it from them directly and get my two goodies for free. Woot woot! I know that I am getting Adina but I am not sure what other color to get. Any suggestions?
