Makeup No-Buy Update

I just thought I'd update everyone on how my no-buy is going. So far it's been almost 2 weeks (will be 2 weeks on Friday) and I can honestly say that I really have not been tempted to break it even after seeing some AMAZING deals and sales from several makeup companies. With that being said, I noticed that I switched from buying makeup to buying Heartsy deals and Indie perfumes.

So I am going to extend my makeup no-buy to include bath and body, Heartsy, Etsy, Artfire, etc. as well as extend the date to October 1, 2011. My main reason for doing so is because I am in the process of starting a business and I need to invest more money in it if I want it to be successful. I am very excited about my new business and once I am ready I will share it with all of you (particularly since it does involve skincare)!

I am officially on a makeup no-buy!

Thanks to a couple other girls in a closed group I participate in on Facebook, I am officially on a makeup no-buy until September 1. I recently read a statistic that stated women spend about $200 annually on makeup...I laughed to myself because I easily spend that in less than one month. Honestly though, I have so much makeup that I haven't even opened or swatched because I'm constantly buying that it's becoming ridiculous.

So, until I am able to swatch and use every single eye shadow, blush, lip gloss, etc I currently own I will be on this no-buy. This no-buy is not applicable to every day staples such as foundation, mascara, primer. Good thing I have goodies coming from Meow Cosmetics and Darling Girl Cosmetics to help tide me over until September! Oh, and this no-buy also is not applicable to bath and body products...hehehe. Wish me luck!
