My answers:
1. When did you begin your No purchase / Lo Buy? exactly how long is your No purchase / Lo purchase going to last?
Officially I started it on January 1, 2015. however I had to “restart” it on January 19th because of Targetgate®.
2. Why did you choose to go on a No purchase / Lo Buy?
I dedicated a whole entry on this topic however it boils down to this: I have. so. much. makeup. You’ve seen my stash, right? At the tail end of 2014, I likewise concerned the realization that I truly like the majority of my collection as well as I didn’t requirement to be on the quest for the next finest thing. I in some cases compare makeup to drugs: I’m always chasing that high, however the next high is never as great as the very first high. (Don’t do drugs, kids. Makeup. Not even once!)
3. have you ever attempted a No purchase / Lo purchase before? If so, exactly how did it go?
Yes, last year I went for a No purchase starting in January as well as I lasted 2 months. then in March I hit up the Illamasqua counter at the Bay to inspect out the Spring launches, as well as it went downhill from there…
4. What do you hope to accomplish with your No purchase / Lo Buy?
Use up as well as delight in what I have. What great it is to have makeup if they go poor before I get to utilize them up? I likewise wished to channel the money that would otherwise be spent on makeup into doing other stuff (like my other hobbies such as jewellery making or knitting).
5. What product(s) have you hit pan on because starting the makeup No Buy?
I haven’t hit pan on anything yet, sadly.
6. Do you have much more empties since of it? What product do you miss the most?
I’m not sure if I have MORE empties, however I am amazed that I’ve seemed to be completing up rather a few products in January as well as February. I’m not sure if it was because of the No purchase or just a coincidence in timing. I likewise produced PUFU, which means “Project utilize it the F*%@ Up!”, in which I’m actively trying to utilize up a couple of products, you can checked out about it right here as well as here.
7. Do you believe you can make it through the ban from makeup?
*sigh* It was a difficult go in February when the weather condition was awful as well as it seemed like winter season would never end. I needed some retail therapy to get me with the dreary time… however I somehow handled (I believe this blog helped!) I’m already bracing myself for the upcoming Sephora VIB / good friends & household sale in April. My good friends are asking me to pick up stuff for them with my 20% off, which I’m thrilled about, however I just hope I’m not lured to pull a “one for you, one for me”…
8. What is the one product you envy best now however can’t get? For eyes? For lips? as well as for face?
I truly want to get a few concealers (Nars, Cle de Peau, Armani) – I partly blame Bree, however I’ve had these products on my desire listing for a while now. For lips, I’ve been curious about the Nars Audacious lipsticks ever because they introduced last year. For eyes, I’ve been wanting to try the MakeupGeek eye shadows, because everybody raves about them.
9. have you cheated as well as purchased something already?
Yup, see Targetgate® and my 28 Days update.
10. After your No purchase / Lo Buy, are you planning a huge haul? What are you going to buy?
Hells yes. Well, perhaps not a huge haul – I’m not going to go crazy as well as purchase a year’s worth of makeup as well as negate the whole function of the No Buy. I’m most likely going to purchase those concealers I discussed as well as perhaps a special spendy eye shadow, like addiction by Kose in Flash Back 030 ME, which has been on my desire listing for eons, however $40 for a single eye shadow – ouch. I likewise have thisirrational lemming for the Burberry Eye shadow in Pale Barley, even though I already own as well as like MAC’s Patina (they’re expected to be rather similar). I have a number of Burberry eye shadows as well as they’re lovely, however I’m not sure if it warrants seeking out pale Barley now that Holts doesn’t bring Burberry cosmetics anymore.
Whew, that was cathartic – please inspect out StyledWithJoy’s publish for her answers!
