Here are my rules and exceptions:
- No makeup, skincare, or clothes: loophole- I can only buy something if I completely run out of it, but first I must use up all full size and samples of whatever that item is
- Gifts for family and friends for birthdays or Valentines Day are allowed
I should rename this 114 Day No Spending Ban, since I've added two weeks for my two bad week, but I thought that would be confusing to switch the name mid way through the ban.
This week went by so much better- actually it was perfect!
Not a dime was spent on makeup/skincare/clothes!
I feel so proud of myself!
At the beginning of the week, I thought I was almost out of cleanser and got excited thinking I could buy more! After going through my drawers, I found full sized Dior and a Bare Minerals cleansers
(I didn't like the BM cleanser- it made me breakout, so I'm really scared to try it again!)
: (
Well, I guess that's what I get for messing up my spending ban so bad the last two weeks!
This week I've been really looking at the Urban Decay Oz palettes. There are lots of tutorials on these palettes popping up, which is only making me want them more and more!

Hope everyone is doing well with their ban!

Good luck with your ban!
ReplyDeleteAs for the BM cleanser, I would say you can skip using it. I'm all for trying to use up everything, but you shouldn't have to if it gives your skin problems. I personally wouldn't count it against you if you use the Dior cleanser and then buy a new one.
Haha! Thanks! For now I'm using the BM cleanser only in the am followed by a good amount of my clarifying toner. So far no breakout!
DeleteYou are doing well! I am sure once you are done you will feel good about what you have accomplished ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes a little bit of a cheat is necessary!!
:) thanks Nat! I'm really going to push myself to use up my BM cleanser. I hate being wasteful. I'd feel better if I used it up rather than throwing it away, even if it takes me forever!
DeleteIf it makes you feel any better I saw on twitter that the UD palettes *should* still be around in April/May so don't feel like you have to break the ban just for those :) Another great week hun, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYay! That is wonderful news! I really want the Glinda palette. I always think of the look that you created on your blog- and it just makes me want it more!
