Curbing habits/perfect person

I have been window-shopping online all morning :(  wasting time, but at least not wasting $$.

I need something like MakeupAlley to keep me from buying clothes--I can get online and read reviews of every magical product that sounds good to me and then be grounded in reality when I read that the item does/does not deliver, or better yet, something I already own works better. My little makeup trunk/tackle box I bought at Academy is also a big influence. I can see everything I own and use it up before buying more stuff.

The most perfect person thing I have done all year that I am MOST proud of is breaking my habit of stockpiling. I get paranoid that "they" will stop making what I like, so I would stock up on stuff whenever it was on sale and then have 10 bottles of shampoo or whatever in the cabinet. Spending $ on stuff I don't even need yet. It obviously adds up! I have been really good about using up all my supplies that I have saved up over the years, and my absolute favorite thing is to throw away an empty bottle. That is my new high, and I get mad if I hear M throw it away before I do. Lol.
