I’m with you on the buying clothes…I only shop for cheap clothes, and only like twice a year.
Philosophy Purity cleanser is seriously a must-try. I really love it because it’s gentle, feels good, smells good (like eucalyptus), and really gets the job done.
Hi Heather,
Glad I’m not alone! I just can’t get into pricey clothes. I mean, I’ll drool over clothes of all kinds – when I window shop, I don’t price discriminate! And shoes, well, I’ll spend decent money on it, but going over $100 is hard. I don’t do that so much since I have forty pairs of heels collecting dust!
I didn’t end up with Philosophy’s Purity, but hey, the sale continues for another two weeks, LOL.
here the same :-)i never buy expensive clothes,i spend much more on makeup than on clothes :-))))))))))))))))
and i really dont buy clothes more than 1-2 times a year 🙂
i love H & M :-DDDDD
yesterday i bought a H&M eyeshadow ,in turquise :-)it has great color pay off,and buy us from the price of a MAC shadow i can buy 3 H&M ones 🙂
have You tried something from H&M cosmetics Christine?
Hi Zsofi,
That’s definitely me, too! Oh, nice 😀 I haven’t bought makeup from H&M before. I don’t even know if I’ve seen it at my H&Ms before, lol!
my computer is tired of refreshing the nordstroms account page while i check for the 1,000th time if my color forms goodies have shipped yet 🙁
Hi Courtney,
LOL!!! Awwww. So cute 😀
I picked up my MAC order and that’s all I came home with.
I was personally unimpressed.
Hi Aprilrobin,
You know, I wasn’t totally psyched over the shoes this year! Normally, I am DROOLING. That’s probably a good thing, though, for me, that it wasn’t impressive, LOL.
hey chris, i was shopping online at sephora just now and ran across the bliss youth as we know it collection, do u have any experience wiuth these products? im 22 and saw a wrinkle under my eye, and said to myself i dealt with acne for half of my life im not dealing with wrinkles for the other half.
Hi Jess,
I have tried a product or two, but not long term, so I can’t testify to the results. I know what you mean, though – spotted some wrinkling under my eyes (and promptly went NO, WTFUDGE!), ugh.
The Hillsdale Nordstrom was crazy! However, I was able to get out in one piece with my Colour Forms goodies. =D
Hi Lehea,
I bet it was! Mine was pretty packed, too!
How long is this collection available? I couldn’t get there today.
Hi LaQuesta,
It’ll be available at least a month, just depending on what sells out or what doesn’t, you know?
You really should try Purity Made Simple! I like it quite a bit, though it might not be good for oily skin types. It’s very moisturizing. 🙂
Hi JennBee,
Argh, I didn’t get it, but now you are all making me want to!
clothes shopping 2 or 3 times a year?? im jealous…i try to cut down to once every 2 weeks. im horrible
plus i need my MAC on top of that! but definitely clothes and accessories way more
wow Kirsten,You really need Your new dose of clothes very often 😀
I try to be more stylish all the time,but again and again i end up spending on MAC 🙂
You know no sizes in eyeshadow :-DDDDDDDDD
much more easier to try on :-DDDDDD
Hi Kirsten,
LOL! Gosh, your poor bank account 🙂
I’m such a simple girl, that’s probably why, when it comes to clothes. In the summer, I wear tank tops and cropped jeans. In the winter, sweaters tops and jeans!
i got spanx cause lots were on sale. my first time trying them and i’m in love.
Hi Victoria,
Ohh, nice!! I haven’t tried these myself, but good to know they met your expectations!
Hi Christine! I’m totally skipping the Nordies sale, but wanted to let you know that I’ve been able to swatch Shu Uemura Fall. Here are the swatches and my thoughts:

HTHS!
Hi Becky,
Thanks for letting me know, Becky! 😀 Lucky girl!!
I wish I would spend less on clothes/shoes all year. It was a zoo yesterday so I didn;t go up to see the clothes yet! I bought a pair of Sofft Mary janes that are sooo comfy! 66.90 reg 99.95!
Hi Diann,
LOL! It’s really only the shoe department that you have to get to EARLY. I’ve found most of the clothes are still available over the remainder of the sale!
