I am officially signing on this month for a very low/no buy month! July was completely out of control and now I have products coming out my ears. There is literally nothing I will need this month and my student loan with the highest interest rate is seriously within arms reach of being paid off so I NEED to focus my efforts there.
Sleepykat, I agree- avoiding the emails helps. I'm actually really liking how gmail now segregates "promotional" emails and I can just avoid that tab altogether now.
So far I've avoided the Tarte sale, the Hautelook bags (only because I already had all the ones I wanted) and actually returned a few things I really never needed to begin with. As soon as my Fall Allure box comes on Wed. I am immediately listing the stuff I dont want/wont use on ebay or in my Facebook swap groups. I still have way too many monthly subs though, so I really need to make decisions on which ones I truly need. GlitterDaze + Glitter Guilty + Bondi + Julep is way too many nail subs. I am only 2 boxes away from a free box and after that Julep will be cancelled and I really think GlitterDaze will have to get axed for now just because between the two indie subs, I think Glitter Guilty has better formulas (and candy!). I also plan to cancel Beauty Army this month (no downside to doing so, since I can re-sub anytime without a wait), and my second Ipsy bag until I get through some of the makeup I already have. My other subs are pre-paid but Birchbox is up on November and I think I should start convincing myself now that I don't need to resubscribe right away.
It is my birthday on Sunday so the only thing I am allowing myself to get is the Fresh lip treatment set when I go to Sephora for my bday gift. I also have $10 off anything bday gift for Ulta which I will definitely use (on something small!) but I dont know what yet.
