Aimee, if you want two of something… that’s okay!! You should have a powder and a cream version if you want it. It’s not like you have seven or eight! 🎉

Suggestion for total change amount - subtract 2020 numbers from 2024 so it gives you more accurate change for example -5 foundations (not +5), and switch around 1-year change calculations because your foundations are actually +2 not -2 (coming from fellow spread sheet nerd) so basically your latest data minus what you're comparing it to

I may have missed you saying it, but if you were at your goal in every category, what would the total be? It would be really interesting to see how much further you actually have to go to get from that 151 to your ‘ideal’ cosmetics collection.

So impressive! It is not a hoard anymore. So many categories are at only one which is ideal. I am way higher in lots of categories that make no sense to have more than one, but the general idea of No Buy is helping a lot. Loved watching this! And girl! Do I love your spreadsheet!

You are making great progress. I am doing a replacement only no buy in 2024 for cosmetics and most toiletries. I made a list of my go to day to day essentials for everything, and anything that is not on that list won’t be replaced once it is gone. There may be some product swaps as I’m now in my mid 40s and my skin is dryer than it used to be so some things I had been using aren’t working as well as they used to.

Omg. I love seeing products that hit pan.❤ I love no buys but I did worse when I said I wouldn't consume. I prefer now to say low-buy. I treat each purchase as an investment. That changed my focus to really dabble and hone in on what items I continue to repurchase. I have makeup until next year. I forgot to date my products though. 😮
@AimeeRebecca11 ай бұрын
A no-buy is a really good option if a no-buy is too extreme. I always forget to date mine too and I end up having to scroll back through all my videos to work out when I opened things 🙈

I think that some of the calculations aren't correct, looking at the spreadsheet, but I believe you have noticed as well 😉Either way, you've made a great progress 😊And you have very much inspired me to go on a low-buy. I started it back in November, including budget review and overhauling my finance and I am proud to say it's been going well. I only bought an eye cream and a concealer since then which were needed as replacements. Pretty good for someone who used to buy multiple new beauty products every week 😁

I'm planning on also doing a breakdown of the brands I own as well as for make the colours of things that I own so I can really try and minimise it becauseI definitely don't need like 6 neutral eyeshadow palettes 😂 good luck with your 2024 goals!

I did my inventory also some months ago. Although I started project panning In June 2023. I counted 268 products (skincare, haircare, body care) and 80 products make up..... And if I would count perfumes that would rise up another 100 items 🙈(I was like a collector, but it's kinda useless if they go bad). So it would be 448 Products total and perhaps 10-20candles🤔but I already used up many of them cause I lighted 5 at the same time. (for feeling and cozyness) Oh and I forgot Nail polish.... Oh never counted but I think 20 or 30 for sure... Oh my 😮

Ohhh a cruelty free BB Cream is hard to find because most of the best/most famous brands are Korean, and one of Korea’s biggest markets is the Chinese market, and as you may already know, it’s a Chinese law that all cosmetic products must be tested on animals for “safety” (at least last time I checked it was, correct me if I’m wrong!). It’s pretty rare to find a Korean brand that doesn’t sell in China because that’s where the money is.

For BB cream, you could just take a small bit of your foundation or concealer and mix in with your moisturiser and you’ll get the same effect. For blush, I really recommend the Rare Beauty liquid blushes. I bought the mini and I know it’ll last forever as you only need the tiniest dot and it has way better staying power than any cream blush I’ve tried.
