Thank goodness I only stalk products that I
Here are my latest stalking suspects:
MAC Altered Beige Lipstick (sold out)
10 years ago (yes, I know that makes me feel old) one of my girlfriends worked at the MAC counter at Nordstrom in Vegas. One night she used a new lip color called Expensivo, a gorgeous metallic beige, on me. I didn't think anything of it at the time but bought a tube anyway since she "loaned" me some lashes. After that night I realized that I pretty much loved the color and bought another tube. So when I started to realize I was going through it pretty quickly, I went to get more and guess what? It was sold out - everywhere (well you can get it on Ebay for $50). Seriously a bummer...I still have a tiny bit left and only wear it for special occasions - aka my wedding.
So when I was at Nordstrom getting my watch sized a couple weekends ago, I saw a color called Altered Beige and it was so similar, I knew I had to have it. Of course, they were sold out so I made the lovely lady at the MAC Counter find two of them somewhere in her computer to mail to me. She did and in a few days they were at my doorstep. Now, normal people would have stopped there. Not me!
I then called around to every single Southern California Nordstrom I could find and in the end I think I found the last two available. I immediately swooped them up and now have 4 in my possession.
Crazy, right? I think not, I learned my lesson the first time. Four tubes should last me a few years until a new shade comes out. :)
Flower Necklace
I have loved this necklace from J. Crew for a while. I am huge fan of BIG statement necklaces (obviously, I make them myself) and when I first saw knockoffs on Groopdealz, I sort of thought about getting one. But I didn't. Then I started to see a couple blog posts here and there with some white ones - J Crew is my Fave Store and A Spoonful of Style - and then I realized that I NEEDED one. So, being the stalker I am, I watched Groopdealz every day to see if they would come back. To my delight, they did and you bet I bought not one, not two but THREE while I was walking our dogs! If that's not crazy, I don't know what is! I mean they were just $15 so why not buy three at that price??
I got them this week and am already obsessed. Be prepared to see them featured a lot!
eBay
Recently I discovered that I am also a stalker when it comes to selling things on eBay. While my Lulu crops were up for auction on eBay last week, I seriously watched/refreshed the listing multiple times per
Are you a stalker? What items do you just have to have??
Yay for finding a new lipstick that is so similar to the old one! Those flower necklaces are really cute, I need one! Last week I listed some clothes on ebay so I'm stalking them too :)

Many years ago I was using this eye liner and I loved it so much I would hoard them. Then I found out that the brand was discontinuing them, so literally went into every store I could find to buy up all the stock the had... hahaha. :)

LOVE This, I so do this too! I LOVE that necklace, I wish we had groupdealz in Canada! Shoot. Good buys!!
ReplyDeleteI love the flower necklaces. I didn't purchase because I didn't know what to wear it with. You'll have to post your outfits that you wear with the necklace!

I had a favorite candle (I can still remember the way it smelled) and of course it is no longer available and I'm so bummed! I should have gotten 5 or so. I've heard of make-up companies that can replicate your shade for you.

You have me so obsessed with the flower necklaces now! I want a hundred of them (maybe three). :) And OMG I have been DYING to find that lipstick! I'm so jealous that you were able to snag it (and three of them, nonetheless)! I've got to start calling up some local Nordies'!
ReplyDeletetotally the same way! when you find something that works, the worst is when it becomes no longer available.
ReplyDeleteOh my that MAC lippy is to die for. Want it!! New follower here - look forward to reading more from you lovely xxx Laura xxx Scottish Lass ❤

I stalk web sites if I find something I want and am waiting for it to go on sale. It seems my faves never go on sale though!
