No-buy Hiatus

I started a no-buy at the beginning of this year. I was doing well up until a month or so ago. I am not sure if it is because I am feeling lonely, or seeing all this new makeup come out, that I broke my no-buy with a $40 Bobbi Brown blush in the most gorgeous coral I've ever seen. It has spiraled downwards from there. I just purchased 8 nail polishes and have had 2 ColourPop orders come in within the last two weeks.

I am hereby taking myself off said no-buy, as suggested by a friend. I am not going to go crazy and haul makeup, but if there is something that I absolutely want, I refuse to make myself feel guilty about it; which is what has happened. I feel like I have been lying to myself, and that's not good.

The nice lady at my local Sephora suggested I put it on the outer "V" and then use a champagne color for the rest of the lid. Keep it simple. So, that's what I did today.

Here is the result:
