Well as January 2014 comes to an end, I'm forced to look at the month to see how I did in compare to my goals for 2014. Let me start off by saying I was a complete failure with my no buy for the month. However, with failure comes the chance to redeem yourself and get back on the wagon.
For the month of January, I added 7 items out of 15 items that I'm allowing for the year of 2014 in terms of makeup. So I'm not off to a great start by all means and I just have alot of learning and habit breaking that needs to happen for me to reach this goal. I am keeping track of all my purchases on a sheet of paper by my desktop.
Purchases for Jan. 2014 included:
Makeup Forever Lipstick in no 35 (Sephora)
Burberry Eyeshadow in Pale Barley (bought off Ebay)
Burberry Eyeshadow in Porcelin (Nordstrom)
Burberry Lipstick in Rosewood (Nordstrom)
Wet N Wild eyeshadow in Burlee (Walmart)
Mally TSV (QVC)
Mally Liquid lipstick in Orchid (QVC)
As you can see I broke my no buying for QVC but only two items is not bad at all, considering how much I usually would impulse buy from them.
Some items I bought that I didn't put toward my beauty list were Kenra Professionals Haircare items, Josie Maran Argan Milk and NYX Butter Lip Balms. I also purchased Its a 10 with Keratin and Jack Black Lip Balm. The reason I didn't count these in my makeout 2014 list is because they are used to help my skin, hair and lips. These are three areas I strive to keep nourished and healthy.
So how did you do in your monthly goals? I am alittle disappointed that I didn't have more control to say no to the beauty items but You live and learn right?
For February, I will continue to strive to do a no buy as well as no credit card use. My ultimate goal for Feb. 2014 is to add NO beauty items to my makeout 2014 list. Think I can do it with my track record so far? It will be a challenge and since Feb. only has 28 days, I'm hoping I can do it.
