Limited Editions are the bane of my existence. Cute packaging too.
ReplyDeleteYou know the new Milani Roses blushes? I almost freaked out when I saw a display with one of each left. Thankfully, I only left with 2!
My weakness is lipstick...hands down. I don't care if I have a serious need, if I see a lipstick I want, I have to have it *hangs head in shame*
ReplyDeleteNail polish, period. New, old, limited edition. It's like candy. :-O
ReplyDeleteTaupe! My biggest weakness is taupe! Taupe nail polish, taupe eyeshadow, taupe liner..... I try to keep up with reviews and dupes, but every time I see taupe I'm like a kid in a candy store. lol
ReplyDeleteLip balms and nail polish...especially limited edition and shiny. I have no self control :p
ReplyDeleteI am so bad when it comes to nail polish. I went to Walgreens today for school supplies, and ended up buying two of the new colors from the Sinful Colors Luxe collection. :/
ReplyDeleteDefinitely nail polis...I'm pretty sure I own every color there is but when I see one I like, I buy it...even when I already have 5 that are probably just like it!
ReplyDeleteMascara is my biggest weakness. I see a new one and I practically shriek " I must have it!" Tinted lip balms, too. And we won't mention how many Revlon Lip Butters and Maybelline Color Tattoos I have.
ReplyDeleteGifts with purchase--I am such a sucker for freebies. LE stuff too.
ReplyDeleteDark purple shimmer nail polish. I don't care how many nearly identical bottles I already have in my nail polish drawers, they always have a way of turning my head and insisting they come home with me. I'm hopeless.
ReplyDeleteBlack Eyeliners! Even when I find holy grail ones, I always pick up new ones to try, on the off chance that I'll find one I love even more. I'm not strong enough to resist.
ReplyDeleteNail polish. I have too many. I do not paint my fingernails. I only use glitter polish on my toes.
ReplyDeleteA close second is Physicians Formula products. I hardly use them, but the packaging is so cute. I have the one with the red pump (blush?) on display on my vanity.
Nail polish for sure! I buy like I need every single color out there :D
ReplyDeleteNail polishes and fragrances:( I have about 300 nail polishes and change the ones on my fingers and toes everyday. Plus, I have 10 fragrances with their package still on and I feel myself secure and happy when I look at them. Guess I should get a therapy :(
ReplyDeleteAnything on sale!
ReplyDeleteMy weakness is anything YouTube gurus recommend. I've gotten much better about it, but I almost tripled my makeup collection after starting to watch YouTube videos.Also I'm a sucker for things that are being discontinued.
ReplyDeleteI am a polish addict!! I went to CVS and picked up 4 of the new Rent the Runway colors and I have found a bunch of cool indie sellers and have gone crazy this week..I need help :-)
ReplyDeleteNail polish, esp those purple/bronze shades - OPI Tease-y Does It, Zoya Anastasia and a billion others. Can't resist a new one!
ReplyDeleteHas to be nail polish. It's shiny and sparkly, and then limited edition or on sale? Fah-get about it.
ReplyDeleteEyeshadow.. especially cheap eyeshadow. They are like Pokemon.. if I like the formula I "gotta have them all".
ReplyDelete"Gotta have them all!" That's cute!
DeleteHmm...from the drugstore, I'd have to say fragrance-free body lotion. There aren't a lot out there so when I see a new one, I HAVE to check out the ingredients to find out whether or not it's coming home with me. I can't wear fragrance and there's just something about having a selection of different textures and thicknesses to work with. =)
Mascara would be a second thing. I tend to not wait for sales for LE items but I do try to look up swatches online. Most everything else, I would usually at the very least stay my hand and research online.
Blush and eyeshadows. I have too much, some will only get a couple if uses EVER. But I can't help it. I don't know how many times I've told myself "well, I have a similar color but this one has something special and different.".
ReplyDeleteAlso if I like a brand I feel llike I need to try a little bit of everything from it.
Lipbalm. And for a while mascaras ran a close second. I'd have tubes of the stuff waiting around. Luckily it doesn't take that long to go through lipbalm or mascara. And I've never succumbed to spending more than $10 on either.
ReplyDeleteClearance items! If I see something was regular $15.99 & is now on red line clearance for $3.00 you bet its going to go home with me ! CVS spring clearance ALWAYS gets me & Ulta if you catch them on the right day.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to impulse beauty purchases, my biggest weakness is finding something at a huge discount. I can't resist super cheap stuff at Dollar Tree. I google swatches and reviews and then proceed to buy EVERYTHING lol.
ReplyDeleteLip Balms and nail polish, absolutely. I have more of each than I'll ever be able to get through in my lifetime but I always pick up the newest ones.
ReplyDeleteSame, same, same over here! My guy always tells me how I could go the rest of my life without really needing to buy either. Could also add body wash, I'm sure with all my half used and "stock" full bottles, I would be set until 2015! I'm also a sucker for clearance, whether I truly need it or not, if its a good deal and I'll eventually use it, its mine, lol
DeleteNail polish! Honestly I like makeup but I LOVE nailpolish, I now own more than I could wear in a year. If it's something that's 3 dollars or more I do some quick research on my phone before buying but besides that I'm terrible about impulse buying them in the store. I've missed out on way too many beautiful polishes that way.
ReplyDeleteLimited editions, and eyeshadows mostly. Lately been tempted lots by lip stains
ReplyDeleteClearance!!! And if it says LE on it is certainly isn't going to hurt. The only thing I usually do not wait for clearance prices in lower priced nail polish. I will usually wait for Zoya, Essie etc to go on clearance before I buy! :)
ReplyDeleteGod, makeup and nail polish are my weaknesses in general, but nail polish, lip balms/tints/lipsticks and clearance items are hardest for me to resist. A 40 percent off sale is hard to walk away from, too.
ReplyDeleteLipstick. I love lipstick. It is terrible.
ReplyDeleteLip products and/or blush... Especially if they are on sale! (But lack of a discount hasn't stopped me, I'll admit.)
ReplyDeleteNail Polishes, drugstore mascaras (waterproof ones), and blushes!!!♥♥
ReplyDeleteIt's nail polish right now. Before that, it was lipstick.
ReplyDeleteNail polish, hands down! I'm a sucker for all the new effect polishes and now that all the new fall polish collections are coming out I will "have" to purchase more. I have around 300 bottles and counting. I pretty much buy some on a weekly basis.
ReplyDeleteHands d9wn my biggest weakness is nailpolish. All colors qnd brands.
