March 2012 No-Buy Support!

[ladygrey]

Thanks! It was a lot harder than it should have been, but I just kept reminding myself that if I keep letting all of these samples pile up and go unused, they're just a huge waste of money.

Have any of you ever sold a lot of samples on eBay? I see them go for ~$50 at a time (I usually bid $10 early on). I'm wondering if I could have good luck doing that.

I do. I made $160 this weekend

ohhh what do you call it? like "high end skincare sample lot" or something?

 

[ladygrey]

Oooh, I might have to try that! Very tempting.

You guuuuys- Ulta is trying to kill me. Seriously.

Plus I really want to get a Clarisonic Mia from the Dermstore w/ my MG coupon.

SO HARD!!!

 

[ladygrey]

I made a mistake of looking at the Ulta 21 days of beauty--gah, huge mistake. Temptation!! Now I'm just trying to shove it out of my head.

PS, if you want to get a clarisonic, go with Sephora since they have an AMAZING return policy. I got one, it didn't work out for me, and I was able to return it used without the packaging.

If I can avoid that AND the NYX on Hautelook (which I've so far done), you girls can, too!

The NYX hautelook sale isn't very good anyway! I did peruse it, but nothing caught my eye. Maybe I have reached full cosmetic saturation? Or maybe my splurge on the naked palette will keep me from buying anymore. I don't know how I did make up before I had that, omg I'm obsessed. 

 

[amberlamps]

Technically I've been purchase-free for 17 days.

Makeup sells better. It pays for my subs and then some.

The zoya sale is hard to resist!

HAPPY MONDAY NO-BUY!!!

 

[ladygrey]

I think I have! I'm planning on using the dermstore coupon from myglam, but I'm planning on getting hair stuff and making the order right before the coupon expires. I feel no desire to buy makeup, so...yay!

The no buy is making me really think about my purchases and look at my finances, and wow, I just don't need it. So, I think I'm not going to have a hard time canceling most of my subs either. 

 

[aleeeshuh]

I actually made an expense sheet. I was wondering where the rest of money went, then realized it mostly goes to to eating out and shopping :/

Have any of you made any dents in your makeup collection?

 

[calexxia]

Well, I made it through the day (so far) without buying anything. And considering I didn't work today, that's pretty much a plus /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
