Hey guys, we're almost halfway through the month!! Who's still in??
@@jenny1973 LOL!
It happens. (Now I really want to know what you bought but I don't want to enable anyone by turning this into a haul thread.) My Wantable, Beautyfix, Allure Beauty Box, Boxycharm, and Glossybox are helping me through the month. God I'm so weak. Seriously what kind of a challenge is it to survive a month with only five sub boxes and no trips to Ulta or Sephora? Why do I still feel I need to buy more stuff?
Anyway... Loft is aving a 40% off friends and family. Maybe buying more clothes will make me feel better. LOL

Holy cow! The month is half done?
I've been keeping busy setting up PreK for my Bumblebee, so I haven't thought too much about what I'm missing.

@MissKriss17,
where do I begin. I was at the beach last week and it rained one day and I went and did a little online retail therapy. Got the new Lancôme pallet, new Bobbi Brown nail polish (like I need that like I need a hole in my head), a new necklace, julep mystery box. Can you see a pattern, I love nail polish! Also found the Holiday stuff for Chanel, can't wait for that to come out, they are re-releasing Vamp colors!. Then went and bought Leaves candles at BBW! But I think I am back on the wagon for the rest of the month!! Unless the POPsugar LE box releases!

@@jenny1973 OMG, I went through a phase where I was obsessed with the Leaves candles and BBW. I bought like 6 of the three wick versions and a dozen on the one wick. I still have several in a cabinet.
I'm still in but it's tough. I wanted to order something from Birchbox and Sephora because the extra points they were giving but I didn't. I like the idea of shopping for clothes @@MissKris17 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> The Loft 40% off sounds attempting. I have subscription boxes coming (can't even think of all the names right now, bad I know) so I'm not totally deprived. :lol: Glad that the month is half way over though.

This seems to have been the worst month to pick for no buy although I really needed to do it. Only a few days left. Anyone want to do next month? I'm contemplating. I would love to get this bronzer though. sigh and I keep looking at Birchbox's site for all the fun things.

I've settled into a routine of adding to the wish list, so I am up for next month. The only exception is replacing something that runs out, like the primer that only has a day or two left in the bottle.
I'm going to make it!!! I'm on vacation until Sunday. I did have a massage and facial today. But I don't think those count since they are services not products. I'm also keeping a wish list, but nothing is needed immediately. I'm down for trying another month. I need to include a no buy for shoes and clothes too. LOL
@@Jayderose I think replacement of HG items that have run out are exempt.

Ok.... So I am going to try this again for September. I'm pretty well stocked and I need to have a tiny garage sale. I should be able to do this for next month and I am going to include clothes also. I have plenty of boxes coming for the next month and I think I Will include books also. I need a tee that says I heart lipstick and books.
I'm glad I'm not the only one buying too many books. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> I'm not sure about next month because it's my bday month and I'd like to buy something as a present for myself but do I really "need" anything, the answer is no. Other than I'm running out of shampoo and conditioner but replacing I think it's ok because I'm not adding.

Other than I'm running out of shampoo and conditioner but replacing I think it's ok because I'm not adding. I just found this thread while expanding my foray into this site. This reminds me of the year I gave up chocolate for Lent. Then I gained 5 pounds eating dessert constantly to keep my mind off eating chocolate.
Oh, if it wasn't immediately clear, I am a chocoholic......
Miserable fail.......
I would love (and need) to do a no-buy but September absolutely will not work for me with the Barneys and SpaceNK events......

Glad I'm not the only one who loves chocolate either. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> Without chocolate I'd be 10 lbs lighter for sure but life is too short not to enjoy it so I'm sticking with chocolate. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> My weaknesses are cosmetics, books and chocolate and sweets in general. Give me a cake any day but since having to go gluten free for medical reasons, cakes are not quite the same so chocolate to the rescue even more. :sdrop:

It's the last day of August, who made it??!!
I'm considering one order from Ulta and then getting right back on the no-buy train.

Yeah!! I did.
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> It makes it is so much better to do this with others instead of alone. Thank you all who decided to join in! So happy I made it even though it was tough. I'm considering one small order from Sephora and then getting back on no buy too for next month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">
