Congrats on your new car! There's still lots of time to re-rouge this year, and they haven't even gotten to the Black Friday specials. Out of curiosity, what is this miracle product that prevents breakouts? I could use some of that.Ok kids...I'm back for August. Originally I wasn't on a no buy for August. But my car died yesterday. Which means YAY new car!! It's so shiny! However this also means I am BROKE. My plan was to wait until October to get a car. Husband has a student loan that is a ridiculous amount of money (seriously, our most expensive bill other than rent...more than his car payment) that is paid off in October. So the plan was to get me a car then since we'd be used to paying a ton of money anyways. Buuttt apparently my car had different ideas about that. Our insurance also went up since it's a newer car.
That means I am B-R-O-K-E until October. Like zero spending money broke. My plan:
- NO. BUYING. ANYTHING. I am allowed today to go to the walmart and pick up a skincare item I am out of (and apparently is intregal to keeping me from breaking out because YIKES I'm a mess since I ran out) and a few random smaller items of my choice...since technically it's not august. This is not an option. This is not a "well I need it so its ok". Like I can not buy anything for 2 months. Only item that is allowed, IF I run out (which I won't in August, but might in September) is primer. That's it.
- STAY OUT OF THE INDIE and ENABLERS threads. They are just too tempting. Planning on sticking in here and the swap threads.
This is going to be so hard. The outlet mall opens in 2 weeks and there will be a shiny new CCO full of MAC that I will want ALL OF IT, but I can not. I am allowed to go to the outlet mall with my mom and she can buy me presents, but no buying ANYTHING. It's 4x points at Sephora next week and I'm $90 away from re-rouging so my head says I need to go re-rouge and get the gift bag. Logic tells me I have an overflowing basket of samples already and I'll easily hit rouge again over black friday/xmas (I make hubby order my xmas gifts from sephora via my account) so there's really no point. I can do it. Even if I can't, I really have no choice.
