March 2012 No-Buy Support!

[aleeeshuh]

Once again, I'm tempted by the UD 20% FF coupon /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[aleeeshuh]

Ok... so what if I have someone buy it for me then I pay them in April, does that count against my no-buy?

 

[Souly]

$2.98 for opi? That doesn't count.

Im on day 21! This is the longest I have ever gone w/o buying anything. I did look @ sephora today. All their new products get listed on Wednesdays and of course I look every Weds

While I was waiting for my friend to finish her doctor's appointment (I was her ride), I happened to go into Beauty Brands. Hadn't been there before, figured I'd be safe.

Uhm, yeah. OPI on clearance for 2.98.

Back on the chain gang for me.

Day One. (At least I'm not rationalizing this by saying, "Well, Day One is tomorrow, so I might as well do as I please today." Therein lies madness.)

 

[Souly]

Me 2! And my mom gave me a unexpected $100 today.

WELL. It was christmas when I got home today...my lovewithfood, sample society, toofaced order, and a napoleon perdis haute look order had all arrived. I think I can manage to not buy anything tomorrow, especially because I have more hautelook orders coming and my UD order should be here on Friday. 

For tonight, I'm heading over to the container store to try and find a way to tame my stash! 

 

[aleeeshuh]

I'm jelly. LOL

lol it was a GOOD day. AND I made it over to the container store where I bought some shelving for my bathroom unit and some cosmetics organizers...250 dollars later, my stuff is not all over the sink, toilet, etc. I feel like I have space again!

I kind of wanted to get the Metallic 4 Life polish when I saw it. I so would have at the price you got it for.

I like that idea, too. May be more doable for me in the long term.

Oh, and what I got? DS Mystery, Y'All Come Back Ya Hear?, Metallic 4 Life, Cuckoo for this Color, The Color to Watch, Pepe's Purple Passion, Divine Swine, and Animal-istic, plus the 3-in-1 as a freebie.

 

[Ampym]

I feel your pain. Try doing more trades it ALMOST feels like buying. On the organization quest my MUJI DRAWERS just got here and now I am kicking myself for not buying TWO!!!!!

 

[Playedinloops]

I just had 40 dollars of youngblood cosmetics in my cart on hautelook. Closed the tab. Day 3 begins, and I am doing really well! I know the sooner I get through these 30 days without buying anything, the sooner I can go back to buying lol.

 

[ladygrey]

ohhhh, Youngblood. I've been wanting to try their mineral foundation, but I should probably work on getting through the stuff I have now before I buy any. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

THat was what I was going to buy, the mineral foundation set! However, I have at least 4 bottles of foundation that I need to use up and they all work fine.

 

[ladygrey]

Holy moly, the mineral foundation costs $45?! I may just restart my no-buy tomorrow...I have $20 in credit, so I would really only pay shipping plus the $2.

hahahaha, isn't it awful what these sales can do to a no buy?

 

[Pancua]

I am so glad I will be in the boonies for the next 10 days. No way for me to be tempted to buy cosmetics. 

 

[ladygrey]

It is!!!!!! Gah. Stupid Hautelook, exploiting my weaknesses, haha.

[amberlamps]

Being beyond broke makes this no-buy much easier.

 

[aleeeshuh]

My no-buy has been going pretty well. I haven't purchased any makeup since I decided to go on a no-buy. I'll probably go buy some makeup brushes today tho, but that's still not going against my no-buy for makeup!!!

I'm on Day One (again). And OF COURSE, I'm sitting here going, "Well, you know, I really NEED a glass nail file....."

I so fail at these things.

 

[aleeeshuh]

what's the difference between a regular nail file and a glass nail file?
