in sunday survey

1. What color are most of your clothes?
Pink! I wear purple a lot too.

2. How do you resist beauty sales?
I ask myself if I really the products on sale? Do I have similar colors in my stash already? It doesn’t always work though lol.

3. What’s in you handbag right now?
My wallet, keys, a mirror and a lip balm.

4. MAC or Windows?
Mac, definitely! Although I can’t afford a Mac at the moment, so I switched to Linux. Hate Windows!

5. Do you like midriff tops?
I loved and wore midriff tops a lot in the 1990s. (Gosh, I feel old now!). But that’s a style I have outgrown now. They can be cute, but not really my thing anymore.

It’s your turn now! To take the survey, just copy and paste the questions in the comments. Then, answer them!

1. What color are most of your clothes?
LOL when I read your answers! Because those 2 are the most common colours in my wardrobe too. :D I do have some pastel greens and aquas, but those make up about 20% only.

2. How do you resist beauty sales?
No way I could do that. But in the past year, I am getting better. I look for good bargains – like super great GWPs that would justify my purchase of certain items(skincare or cosmetics) ok, that’s not really a sale, more like offer. Other than that, I just picture in my mind the mess I have in my stash and the headache I had when I was packing and moving my stash to the UK…I stopped. And my most important ‘weapon’ to stop me from buying is my daughter. She would say things like…..”how many more makeup do you need? NO MORE BUYING!” There was one episode I recounted on my FB page where we were reading through some beauty blogs and saw the promo pics of MAC Semi-Precious Collection coming out this summer. She told me as a matter of factly, “Mummy, I like those eyeshadows (the mineralize ones). Are you going to swatch them?” I replied, “yes, I will try to swatch them all”. Then she exclaimed, “but only swatch them, OK? and NO BUYING! Because you have so many makeup already!” ROFL!

3. What’s in you handbag right now?
My phone, Anna Sui hair brush, a small can of AromaFabulous hand cream, my wallet, MAC Indigo Pink Lipglass.

4. MAC or Windows?
Windows, because i have not the opportunity to try out a MAC yet.

5. Do you like midriff tops?
Occasionally.

Vonvon, aww your little girl is adorable. :) She must be a great help in preventing you from buying things you don’t need although when she’s older she’ll probably be very happy to have a mum who’s into makeup and who has a big stash she can play with.

La Bisbetica, keeping your credit card empty is a great idea! I only have a debit card and put money in it only when I need to buy something or I’d waste too much money. But staying away from beauty shops isn’t really that easy.. lol. :)

And I like your wardrobe. It’s so colorful and black just goes with everything.

Dao, I like black clothes too. They go with everything and make you look thinner. :)

Being in a place where there aren’t beauty sales would definitely help. Although I’m not really sure I would like to go there lol. We don’t get many sales here though.

1. What color are most of your clothes?
Black and some things in pink, fucshia, aqua, caramel…

2. How do you resist beauty sales?
I can´t say that because there aren´t beauty sales here :( sometimes the bank give us 30% discounts with the credit card and when that happens I use to buy many things specially my favorite but expensive brands like Guerlain or Givenchy.

3. What’s in you handbag right now?
My wallet, keys, a comb and a palette Lancome Absolu Voyage (my travel makeup set, I love it)

4. MAC or Windows? I´ve never tried Mac, so, Windows.

5. Do you like midriff tops? Not at all.

beautifulwithbrains May 30, 2011 at 12:34 pm

Sol, oh what a shame there aren’t beauty sales where you live! That’s so unfair. But at least with the bank discount you still get to buy expensive products at more affordable prices.

Mostly pink, but I really love black and white. What’s prettier than a white dress on a summer day or sexier than a LBD at night?

Two lipsticks, my phone, my wallet, mascara, a couple of tissues, and some mints. Mostly.

Ashley Lee, I love black and white clothes too (although I don’t wear white dresses a lot as they get dirty so easily). But they always look beautiful and elegant.

Courtney Belyea May 31, 2011 at 12:01 am

1. What color are most of your clothes?
Black, black and black. Looks cool with my Pagan jewelery.
2. How do you resist beauty sales?
They are easy to resist since I have absolutely no money to spend at all.
3. What’s in you handbag right now?
A notebook, a wallet, gum,lip balm.
4. MAC or Windows?
Windows because Mac’s are for rich people which I am not. Windows is also all I’ve ever used so sort of a comfort zone.
5. Do you like midriff tops?
No! I love modest dress and I hate it when men look at me like a sex object. I will never dress for men! I’ll dress for myself, that means ruffles, high blouses and lacey, pretty. Well ideally, as stated I wear only black currently but I like a romantic yet modest look… lolita anyone?

Courtney, I like your dress style and I agree that women shouldn’t dress for men but for themselves. I think there are occasions when it is suitable to show a bit of flesh, especially in the summer, but I prefer to dress modestly too. It makes me very uncomfortable too when men look at me like a sex object.

1. What color are most of your clothes?
Pink, white, black

2. How do you resist beauty sales?
I ask myself if I really need it or if I’d use it before its expiration date (essential with things like liquids and mascara that don’t last as long as powders), or I might skip it if the brand is often on sale. Plus, you know, I have to take money into consideration (…I really need to get better at that, actually)

3. What’s in you handbag right now?
Random cards, change, NYX lipgloss, lip balm, hand mirror, Estee Lauder foundation, various coupons and god-knows-what else.

4. MAC or Windows?
I use Windows because I can’t afford a MAC right now, though I’d love to switch over.

5. Do you like midriff tops?
No. Unless you’re at the beach or something.

Eight, I think it is important to consider the expiration date too (at least when it is so short) cos even though the products may be on sale, you’ll still be wasting money if you won’t use them. :)
