I really really need to go on a no buy/low buy in August. I have so much stuff! I finally got some good storage, but I can't keep adding to it. Clutter really stresses me out, like to the point where it's almost hard for me to sleep at night as I think about ways I can declutter... and yet I still have a bunch of subscription beauty boxes (especially Memeboxes), spend lots of money at TJ Maxx, Ulta, MAC, and Sephora, and can't stop buying things I don't need. I have a whole drawer full of lip products, and I barely use any of them! They will probably turn rancid before I get through them all. I just really need to stop this! I am especially a sucker for GWP promotions. I really need to put in a dual plan of using the products I have and not buying any more! I have a pre-paid annual sub for Birchbox and Beauty Army (unfortunately, since BA sucks), and I subscribe to PopSugar, Blush, Allure Sample Society, Ipsy. I also buy way too many Memeboxes. Here is my plan for August:
I already paid for PopSugar for August, but I will cancel after that. I will not resubscribe even if there is a really good promo code.
I kind of want to cancel Sample Society, but they have been really good the last few months, and I really want the Too Faced Melted Peony. Ugh.
I will cancel Blush this month. They have awesome products, but I don't use half the stuff and the full sizes pile up. I need to avoid spoilers so I am not tempted.
I will get Ipsy for August, but I will cancel if I don't get items I can use up (which will probably happen).
No more Memeboxes! If I get another super awesome code or they give us Meme points, it might be hard for me to resist, but I already have quite a few more coming.
No more TJ Maxx/Marshalls beauty runs.
No more Ulta.
I will probably go to the Sephora VIB Rouge event, but I need to have a list of a few things that I really want (like HGs that need replacing). After that event, no more Sephora until I seriously run out of something.
No more MAC, even special collections.
I need to stay out of threads that tempt me to buy. Examples include the enablers thread (duh), the Sephora promo code thread, maybe some of the Memebox threads, and the Blush Spoiler thread.
No more clothes!
I need to keep organizing my stuff and find a good system. I look forward to going through this month with you guys!
