Anyone interested in joining me and doing a 30-day no buy challenge starting today? I'm going to challenge myself to not buy any cosmetics this month. Subscriptions boxes don't count for me just any other cosmetics. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">  The subscription boxes for me are a whole other story so I'm keeping them for now although I'm trying to cut back and take a look at the main ones I want to keep. 

Who is in?

 
I'm in. No new buys for August. 

Boy am I glad my sub is prepaid, and the bareMinerals box already went through.  :lol:

 
A few minutes later after I posted the thread, I saw NARS and Clarins on sale at Rue La La. :sdrop: Can't buy anything now. This thread is going to help me so much to stay on track. I'm taking baby steps since I'm leaving my subscriptions out of this (at least for now). :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

 
I need to do a 30 day stop period. The ups and fed ex man know my house to well. But lancome fall is getting ready to release. But that is ok, chanel fall just arrived a week ago.

 
I'd like to get in on this. I've ordered an obscene amount of stuff in the past couple of weeks. I got three boxes from Haute Look earlier this week and I ordered from Memebox, Ulta, and Drugstore.com at the end of this week.

I had to order a new pair of prescription reading glasses today since the prescription changed just enough to be bothersome, but I consider that to be a necessity. I'm not including my subscription boxes.

 
I'm not only going to do a makeup no buy, but skincare, hair products, and nail polish too. (except for my five sub boxes of course) Honestly I could probably go the rest of the year on my current stash, but then I'd miss the holiday collections and that would just be insanity. 

Seriously, I'll start with an August no buy and may extend it... we'll see.

 
Only it you told her to go buy you makeup cause you said you wouldn't lol!

idk, personally I don't think that counts.

Now what if I was viewing my Sephora shopping cart and someone bumped into me and I accidently clicked the mouse on "confirm purchase"???  Just kidding  :)

 
I'd say yes, but we have to bring all the kids with us, because then it counts as a treat from mom.

:lol:

And she bought herself way more than she got me, then headed back to "storage" to find things to store it.

Honestly, I'd be shopping in her bathroom for makeup if we were anywhere close to the same coloring. But we're not, I'm the white sheep of the family.

Only 9 days into it and I'm ready to quit but I won't. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> No buy is so hard! I did a no buy after Christmas on my own and it was the hardest thing to do. I thought it would be easier this time but not so much. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">  Sephora points and new makeup items aren't making it any easier.
