So my cousin, Lerma and I made a bet. Yesterday I purchased the Surf USA and Sun Blonde eyeshadows from MAC's Surf, Baby collection. I especially loved the blue (turquoise) color, but my heart felt so heavy after making the purchase. It was about $32 for both.
After I buy makeup (usually MAC) I start second guessing myself if I should return it or not because I just think of my husband hard at work in the sea. Some people think the military get's overpaid, but honestly I think they're underpaid and overworked! My husband works 24/7 when they're out at sea and sacrifices seeing his family for months at a time. (Sorry getting off track here...)
So I went back to MAC and returned my two new eyeshadows. I was considering doing the Project 10 pan, which I learned about from my sister-in-law JC (*Makeup Diary), but I don't think I could do that. So instead my cousin and I made a bet. I'm only allowed to buy makeup every two months otherwise I'll have to buy her something (probably something expensive) if I lose. This bet starts June 1, 2011. Can you believe that? No new makeup until August 1, 2011?! =( Hopefully I can do it, but I apologize if my blog gets a little boring until then. I'll do my best to do more FOTDs, NOTWs, OOTDs, review products I already own, and other fun posts in the meantime.
What other future posts do you suggest I do?
Thanks for reading,
Dinah

It is great that you are doing this. I don't know if I could do it...
Thanks, hun. I'll try but no promises. Lol. But then again maybe if I'm successful my hubby will upgrade our phones to the iPhone 5 once it comes out. Lol.
I also feel that they're underpaid and overworked, what with David's long deployment coming up. I started working again because I feel bad spending so much of David's (he calls it "our") money on make-up, even if he doesn't mind lol.
I honestly suck at Project 10-Pan though... and I think you can do it. It doesn't seem like you've even been buying any make-up in the last week or two unless I missed something. You've been returning them.
Yeeaaa, I would be able to do a P10P, OR buy makeup once every two months for that matter. Way to exercise willpower!
@Joyce. Chris usually doesn't mind either when I buy makeup as long as I don't make our checkings go negative. Lol. i can't wait to work again then maybe I can be reunited with my first-love..MAC! =P
Haha, maybe I'll give Project 10-Pan a try. It does seem like fun. =D I'll choose which makeup to do later. Haha. We can keep each other motived to do it.
@Emily. Lol! Let's all do Project 10-Pan! =D
good luck winning the bet! you can totally do it =) maybe you'll rediscover something awesome in your stash!
You should do my rediscover challenge! :) It's much easier than project 10 pan
Good luck with the bet! You are so right about military being under paid; My dad is retired military...and I think that they have such stressful jobs that require so much sacrifice. Really under appreciated and under paid. Love your blog... I'm a new follower. It's great to see a fellow blogger that is economically conscious. ;-)
Best of luck with your bet. I'm sure you can do it :)
I find myself not buying make up when I pick up a hobby. Well a cheap hobby...anyways, I should cut back on my make up spending too :(
You're right. My dad was in the military and I feel about getting underpaid.
Glad you are doing it :) <3
whats project 10pan? i feel lost O_O
and i also agree with the underpaid and overworked military. my cousins work hard for every penny they have. its sweet of u to do this for him (:
@Eileen Thanks hon!
@Vintage Makeup. OH! That sounds like fun! How do I do the challenge?
@Mei Mei I hope I can win this bet. Haha. But yeah, I'm glad you also agree with me about the military. I can't wait for my husband to get out and just be with his family. =)
@Fi Haha. What kind of cheap hobbies do you do? Maybe I can start doing those too to help me stay away from makeup.
@Sara Thanks hun!
@Hermelinda Project 10-Pan is basically choosing 10 makeup products and you have it either "hit pan" or use them all up until you're allowed to buy make up again.
