Yeah I tell my hubby everything, even if I'm guilty of overspending, but he has his vices and I have mine...shopping lol so we equalise each other out. 90% of the time I get him something at the same time like a DVD, or game it helps to relieve some of the guilt even though he really is a sweetie who treats me like a queen and never bats his lashes at any of my spending, guess I'm lucky there. Be a different story if we had kids though as there wouldn't be the spare cash at the end of the month to spend on anything else so I'm enjoying it while it lasts =)
I'm currently single but my ex partner was a total gem, he knew quite a bit about make up because of his female roommate and he used to be interested in watching me put on my make up at the start of the day. He actually bought me my first MAC lipstick! I used to tell him about all of my new things. Right now my younger brother is on the receving end of me gushing when my packages arrive though.
Haha this is so funny! I've dashed to the cupboard once or twice but always end up showing him what I've bought later...then by the time I get around to wearing it he's forgotten where it came from & thinks it's new again :s - "oh when did you get that?" - Literally happened this morning with a t-shirt! If it's makeup it really just goes over his head because he's not exactly interested :p
I tell my partner everything, well I ask him if I should get it and then explain everything thats in the shopping cart and he tries to care but he just doesnt understand. But he often forgets my old items so when i have them out or on he often thinks theyre new. But we even out, I buy makeup, he buys car parts.
I don't not tell him... that being said, I used to try to down-play how many pairs of shoes I had because he thought I had too many. I'd just mix a new pair in with all the old pairs in the hope that he wouldn't notice, and he would ALWAYS notice. I don't know how, because I didn't store them in a super obvious way... but within a day of me buying a new pair, he would notice them.
I keep waiting for him to say something about my nail polish collection, which I do store in a very obvious way... but it seems that nail polish is not on his radar ;) Maybe because it takes up less space.

My partner doesn't care how much I spend money-wise. We are both pretty sensible with money so that is all good. Also I don't care when he spends money on computer 'stuff'.
He trys to be interested in what I'm buying and actually has surprised me quite a few times by saying 'is that like that other thing that was in the purple packaging' and pays attention which I really like. When we go away on holiday he always points out pharmacies and beauty shops to go into as well. I must say I don't do so well at paying attention to the computer games he picks up!

I sort of do haha that sounds weird I know.
Lile if I order anything online I send it to his work so he see what I get and sometimes get quite excited for me or emails me at works and teases me about opening it haha
If its just something I buy out & about I may mention it he isnt fazed as he buys himself little things every now & then and often says I dont need to explain myself, however I do often ask permission for a big spend item since we have a joint account and its only fair I think :)

I am hopeless at keeping secrets from hubby, although I see him glaze over when I start showing him make up (I can spark an interest if I am wearing it though).
I don't think he minds as long as I don't 'break the bank' (lucky I have some selfcontrol as there are other things on my wishlist I will definitely need permission for).
We did have an interesting conversation about the cost of lipstick after I did a sleep deprived shop for a MAC lipstick without doing much research on best place to buy... when he quizzed me I said how much do you think it cost... lets just say it did not start well; but he loves the colour on me so the debate was won by me ;)

I have a perfume addiction. If Im buying on the card I tell him. If I got cash I don't tell at all. This years going to be very hard for me as we are saving to buy a house. If he knew how much it added up to he would be furious. I know i'll be hearing no alot this year. Sometimes I know it's gonna be a no hence the sneaking. I notice all his new tools and I never say no. Thanks sharing ladies. I need to be a bit more honest. I can cry about it to yous if it's a no.
I've never even considered to tell or not to tell if I want it I buy it, and I'm sure if I run up to my husband and say I brought some makeup he would be as interested in my purchases, as I know I wouldn't be if he told me he brought some tools or whatever, I've never brought anything and hidden it either.
Yes ive been known to put things away in the wardrobe etc without telling my partner but it's not because I'm trying to lie to him...more like he just doesn't need to know about every single purchase I make hehe he finds out eventually and doesn't care anyway. I think it's more of a fact that I can feel guilty for buying myself items which I know is silly but that's how ive always been.
Tell all..we al have our hobbies, passions and interests most of them require funding. Although i don't currently reside with my significant other therefore i do as i please with my money and answer to no one..of course things are different when you're sharing a home and a bank account. probably won't be getting away with such self indulgence when that happens boooo!
We have no secrets here. Hubby knows about everything I buy, mostly because I am a tight arse and would rather spend money on him and the children then myself. He actually encourages me to buy new items. Could not hide new clothes and shoes around here. I know that within an hour or so of bringing them home he will come out with them on. More so for the giggle than anything else. :)
