Don't Spend 60! + Giveaway winner!

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.

  1. 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!

    1. I have to agree! It is so difficult. So many new things are coming out and it is tempting!

  6. 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.

  8. 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. :(
