Hey everyone! It is weird that I post on a Saturday, but thats ok! So for the past few months, I have caught myself spending a little bit more money on beauty items than I need too. So, to slow myself down and save money, I decided to do a 60 day spending ban.
It took me some thought and contemplation to finally decide to do this. Reason being because 1) I want to buy a new camera, 2) I need to teach myself self-control, and 3) I need to use up what I have.
So for the next 60 days, I am not allowed to buy any more beauty related items. It will begin June 1, 2013 till July 31, 2013. (technically 61 days!) I chose to do 60 days because it is my first time doing a ban, and 100 days just seemed to darn long.
Exceptions:
- I run out of something and have no back up (i.e. moisturizer)
- Beauty Subscription boxes (I just signed up to one for $10/month)
- If I receive beauty items as gifts, its ok
- If I need to buy a gift for someone
Other than those exceptions, I will not be buying anything. If I succeed, and don't purchase any beauty items (high end or drug store), during the ban, I will reward myself with the Nars Hungry Hearts/Orgasm blush duo. If I change my mind about what I want at the end, I will let you all know! But for now, this is what I want.

Finally, the announcement you have been waiting for!!! The winner of the True Blue Spa giveaway is Christina D. Congratulations! =)
I have emailed the winner. They have 48 hours to get back to me. If they still have not responded to my email, then I will choose another winner.
I think I might do this spending ban as well. I just made my firs MAC purchases so to stop myself buying more I have to do a spending ban!
ReplyDeleteI really need to do this! It's so hard to keep from spending money on makeup with all of these summer collections out!

I have to agree! It is so difficult. So many new things are coming out and it is tempting!
DeleteThis is such a good idea! So tempted to do it! I always feel like I would give in though! :o

Good luck! I did a 100 day spending ban but luckily I got gifts during it to get me by. It really makes you get more use out of the products you already own.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does!
DeleteI like your posts. Found your blog through the Beauty Blog Hop. Just followed.

I just started mine about a week or so ago... and already forgot and bought something at Target the other night. I've been wanting a NYX eyeliner, and every time I go they were out, but when I went the other day they had one left so I grabbed it... and a lipstick... and then I got home and was like CRAP! haha. Not like I didn't know I already have NO self control. :(
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens! Because they you feel like it won't be there next time around haha.
