I would love to join in on this no-buy lol. See how well it goes haha. I hope you are doing better hackneyfl!! I am seriously kind of "makeup-ed out" if that makes sense. Is it sad I have a $50 Nordstrom card and a $25 Sephora card and have not spent it on makeup yet? Normally I would have spent it like that!!

To shame myself into this no-buy here is a screenshot of my sephora spend for the year of 2014!!!! This does not include direct brand website buys, nordstrom or other retailers!!! Average spend per month was just over 1000.00!!! WTF?!?!??!?! The plan is to cut this way down to NO more than 100.00 per month (which will mostly be necessities only)!!!

I have managed to start 2015 by deleting all the emails from Sephora, ULTA, Ole Henrickson, Beauty.com and unsubscribed to Too Faced, MAC and Smashbox. I've got to get those ads out of my mailbox, they have a siren song. It isn't helping that ilovetopurplefy posted the LORAC Unzipped Gold photos, I just love golden shadows, even though I have a ton of them. Maybe Temptalia will post dupes so I don't feel bad when I ignore that Unzipped calling me....

Hey ladies! Happy New Year! I haven't been here in a while because I realize that everything enables me. I'm weak. Anyway, I am doing a low buy for 2015. I read somewhere, and figured out first hand that when I limit myself, I'm a wreck. So I'm doing a low buy- I'm going to buy 2 LE products a season and any replacements. I don't intend on making Rouge next year at Sephora. We'll see how this goes. I won't be on here too much, but those who want my e-mail, let me know.... I can chat that way.

I figure it will eventually show up in the sales section somewhere or a reeealy good promo will come along, but until then, I'll just say no. And keep saying no. Sounds like when I was training my dog when he was young, hopefully I'll listen better than he did at the time. lol

hackneyfl OMG look at that spend total! haha!! Hopefully they do some big giant perks like they did this past summer and you can get something cool! I think I will probably hit Platinum at Ulta since I get my haircut there, my bf shops there for stuff with me and obviously I go there too. My goal is to NOT make rouge at Sephora. I already noticed my spending has plummeted there pretty significantly since I have my Nordstrom discount. But my goal is to spend less overall (and not just spend more money at Nordy's). lol. I'll have to set some reasonable parameters for myself. I think the more I avoid the BT deals thread and beauty blogs the better my spending is! I usually ignore promotional e-mails from brands.

I am certainly planning on buying a lot less last year. Sorry I am late. The new website keeps me so busy.
