Hey ladies! Couple things- I'm shipping to my SS today. It's all done, and I want to make sure the special lady gets her stuff so she can enjoy it!
Second, this year is pretty much a wash with this No Buy, but next year I need to get serious. No buys are unrealistic for me; what are some of the things you guys are going to do to buy less?
Thanks! Faith

Thanks! Faith Well DAMN on the move huh?!?!?! I am behind on SS but will have out by Dec 1st! Yes, my no-buy was pitiful too! The shame of it all! I added it all: Sephora, Nordies, Macy's, ect and the grand total was ... OMG OMG OMG .... $13265.32 ...... WTF WTF TTF!!! Seriously, that is soooo shameful!!! So, my plan is ... stay at 100.00 a month! This is NOT spend a 100.00 a month but I will buy GCs, each week when I go to the grocery, I will buy 1 25.00 GC to one of the stores listed above! This way if I don't have GCs to cover something I want then guess I will have to just wait until I save enough! I am stocked up one everything! DO NOT NEED A SINGLE ITEM! I have an entire BIN full of un-opened product and another smaller bin full of samples!!!

Holy jeez hackneyfl! Glad you are feeling better! I like your idea of getting gift cards at the store to use (plus we get money off of gas for every $50 we spend - sooo more incentive to get them) mrsbaine - good for you! I'm going shopping for some stuff Friday I think - hopefully I can find everything I want to get people

If you're using it, that's fine.... But if it's in a bin, that's a problem. Honestly, I have enough makeup for probably 2 years. If you have things in bins, you have enough for a lifetime. I think this little habit has to be over for us in 2015.

In bins cause there is just so much of it! There are several smaller bins in the big bin ... by category; mascara, liners, eyeshadow, ect! Yes, WE must stick together in 2015!!! We need a penalty system!!!

Holy moly..... hackneyfl you must take a picture of your stash. I really want to see all the makeup and skincare you own. This VIB sale I spent cad280.00. YTD is about cad2800.00 and that is a lot for me. The international check out issue prevented me from doing more damage, but I'm ok with that. I hope everyone enjoyed the sale and were able to grab the items that you wanted.

I have an entire BIN full of un-opened product and another smaller bin full of samples!! I promised to order nothing else other than the $25 off $50 offer this year. I need to figure out what to spend next year. I am terrible at no buys, so I think giving myself a monthly budget is a better idea. I want to keep Rouge status (loving the free shipping), so I think I will need around $100 a month. I do not want to only shop at Sephora though, so I may need a little more than $100.

Thanks! Faith I am almost done with my SS box of goodies, just waiting for an item to ship from the Sephora sale so I can pack it up and ship out. Like you, I want to make sure the box gets there in time. Now, if Sephora would get their act together!

YES, it is a lot of product. I have managed to give away a ton and a bunch went to start the TBB we did! So, I am going to do another pass and only keep the items I truly want to try and the rest will be used to make little gift bags and such for friends, ladies in my mommy group and teachers for XMAS! Then come 01/01/2015 this girl is on the wagon and will not be getting up for a loooonggggg time!!!

All of my secret santa's are across the boarder this year. I'm wondering if it is a better idea to have Sephora items wrapped and shipped to them, and then send a box of non-Sephora goodies separately, or to run the risk of my recipient having to pay duty. Or is that really horrible? Thoughts?

That's not a bad idea at all.
