oohhh what colors!? I don't know what I have to trade, although I did put up a post in the sale thread I'd be happy to trade anything out of.

I'm tempted to get the brush set, but off their website since I found a 50% off studio items code. Gaaaah. Must. Resist.

I have several mascaras, eyeliners, eyeshadows...are you interested in a BH palette? I have two, and I'd be willing to part with either one of them. 88 tropical cool and 88 matte cool.

So all the minerals for the matte palette?

Sounds good to me, if you think so?

Yess this saved me on my no-buy..kind of since I ordered from Zoya today lol. 

 

[mishtastic]

Staying strong! I have barely used my CC on other purchases this month. Even avoided the Zoya 3 polish promo from GMA... but mostly because I had similar colors already. Woo hoo!

 

[ladygrey]

I got an email that MyGlam opened subscriptions back up and even though I was tempted, I resisted. I've decided I would much, much rather save that money for later so I can get something that I've actually been wanting or needing instead of getting a surprise bag of crap each month.

Today I'm signing up with BB. I've been on the waiting list for almost a month. Since I've been waiting for this day, I'm not counting this again my no-buy.

Side note: Since I've started this makeup no-buy, I find myself buying other things that are a lot more expensive. Is anyone else experiencing this? lol... I'm definitely not saving any money...

 

[amberlamps]

I don't think I want anything else at the moment, so I'm back on my no-buy after eBay and today's Sephora trip. I only spent $30 between those two so it's not that bad, considering I usually buy on Sephora's website and always buy $50 worth of stuff to get free shipping.

 

[ladygrey]

Yes! I bought a necklace from Baublebar even though I don't need any more, since I hardly wear the ones I have now. It's a little skull, and his mandible moves so that's kinda cool, but at the same time I'm like, WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING?!

I thought I was alone!!! LOL. I bought over $200 worth of underwear at VS! WTH?????? How is that possible?? During my no-buy (which only included makeup), I have bought shoes, dresses, jeans and tops. I honestly think if I could of bought 2 bottles of nail polish and been happy. I think I'm starting to feel deprived so I'm spending my money elsewhere.

I have massively failed at my no buy and replaced the other cosmetic items I would have been buying with more expensive things. (Dropped 250 on a kate spade at lord and taylor completely randomly...I'd usually at least think about it first...) 

I think that I'm better off having 800 different mascaras. 

 

[amberlamps]

I once spent $500 on bras and undies at Nordstrom. I had been wearing the wrong size for a long time and when I finally got around to getting fitted, the size I wear is an obnoxious size (huge boobs, small rib cage) and Nordstrom is the only store I've been able to find bras that fit in person. At $60-$80 a piece, they add up! They last a ridiculous amount of time too. That took me a while to pay off, but Nordstrom was the first place to offer me a credit card.

 

[aleeeshuh]

thank goodness you saved me from getting that mar jacobs bag yesterday! i wanna see the kate spade bag /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
