Well, I made it one week without buying any cosmetics. I actually started writing down everything I spend my money on (unnecessary spending). This week, I've only spent about $2.50 on a ring tone. I know, dumb purchase, but I really liked the song. I barely ever buy ring tones, and I was tired of Alicia Keys' "No One".
This no buy thing sucks. I got some money today, and I REALLY wanted to try some of those mehron paradise aq palettes. I also saw a UD eyeliner gift set, and I was also thinking of getting all the Jesse's girl eye dusts instead. Blah, I have too many responsibilities right now to spend my money on makeup. I have tons of pharmacy school applications, and the fees are crazy. I also need to go full force on my diet again, which I need to stock up on "diet" food. My future and health is more important than makeup. Plus, all the stuff I want isn't stupid LE stuff like MAC, so it'll still be around. I'm proud of myself, so I'm going to stick with my No Buy.
Oh, I just wanted to give a tip (it's probably pretty obvious). Like I stated above, I was looking and trying to choose between those three products. If you're really wanting something, try and find dupes for it in your own collection. I was able to find some pretty good dupes in my collection for the Paradise aq palettes. Plus, I have a lot of options for bases as it is. I don't need any more. I also have enough eyeliners and pigments/loose eyeshadows too. I need to use up what I have before I get more, and I need to get my money in order before I waste it on stuff I don't need.
