Love this video so much. It’s so helpful and being on a project pan has made me realize how much I don’t need new makeup. I’m no longer a Sephora rouge tier and now just an insider thank goodness 😅

I had never heard of the author you mentioned, but I was intrigued when you said Scarborough was your favorite book. So I decided to borrow it from my local library since I’ve ended up liking the books I’ve read based on your book recommendations. I just finished it. Bawled my eyes out! What a beautiful story! I’m so glad I borrowed it. I know books aren’t really the main focus of your channel but I would be super into a video of yours just talking about your favorite books

I'm so happy to hear this, the book deserves so much more appreciation! I love feedback that people have read and enjoyed the books I suggest - because that segment is at the end of the video I know that a lot of people don't watch it! I would actually love to do a favourite books video but I know that my audience mostly wouldn't watch it 🥲 ALSO, there's a film adaptation of Scarborough that is excellent

Great video! I would also add to the why to remember why you started! To save money, to use what you have, to decrease the size of your collection? Is the why for your no buy still relevant? And I totally agree with getting over it. I started a no buy 3 months ago and it has not been perfect since I made some grey are purchases (bought some cream face products which I didn't have before, also bought a bunch of perfume since it wasn't part of my makeup no buy). Being mad at myself won't get me anywhere. I made the changes needed (put perfume on a no/low buy too) and I want to focus on what I have now.

This came right at the right time. I broke my no-buy the day before you posted this video. It has taken me a week to watch this video because I've been so busy. 😅 There's been no more purchases though, so that's good. Just stuff I need. I'm not too mad about it. The things I've bought have been on my wishlist for about 4 years, and my numbers are still lower with these purchases than they were when I started my no-buy, so I'm taking that as a win. 🙂

Give yourself some grace and compassion if you slip up. It's ok. You're human! Take responsibility for the slip up, but know that you can do this 💖

Sometimes it helps to "walk away" from the cart and then go in my makeup drawer and reintroduce myself to the good stuff I already have.

Definitely, re-acquainting yourself to your existing makeup is really helpful.

I’ve tried so many times to do no buys. I started in April and had a good couple months but this month I’ve been so low physically and mentally that I’ve been seeking out things to buy. Although my habits have most definitely changed and improved I have made some purchases this past couple of weeks. I’ve decided not to scrap it altogether and keep framing it as a no buy because that does help me refuse certain purchases but if I do occasionally buy some things I’m not going to be super hard on myself. I don’t have much that brings me joy due to my health and of the off purchase makes me feel good and doesn’t hurt anybody then I have to just accept that and move on. I’ve come to terms with the fact I’ll always be a shopper but I am changing those habits but by bit so that’s a win ❤

I'm sorry to hear that, I know that a lot of time purchases are made as a coping mechanism. I hope you're able to adhere to the no buy/low buy in a way that works for you!

Sometimes when i want to just get that feeling of a 'new thing', i keep the packaging/box of some products. Then i put the products back into their box, and wrap it up like a present! I feel happy seeing the 'cute present', and i get the excitement when i open the 'present' a few days later!

I really really needed this sooo much!! I fell into the trap of buying drugstore makeup recently, which I previously didnt do. (I bought them because they’re so cheap in Europe) I also bought some back ups because I cant get them where I live, I know I will use them eventually but I definitely feel a little stressed with more products now😬

awe yay I'm so glad to hear! Drugstore makeup/cheap makeup/on sale makeup is so much harder to resist because it feels like a good deal and you're not spending as much to obtain it

What a great video! I’ve tried doing a no-buy year since 2021 and have always failed. This year was no different. But I’m determined to try again for the second half of 2024. I think the advice of figuring out what’s causing someone to break it and working around that is super helpful. I’m definitely an emotional shopper and have made my purchases when my mental health is not okay. I’m working on finding other ways to comfort myself that isn’t shopping

I'm so glad the video was helpful! You definitely shouldn't be beating yourself up about your purchases if your mental health is already not great when you made the purchase because you're already in a tough place. Best of luck on the no buy :)

Do you have any type of product you'll never include in a no-buy? I've never done a no-buy, but I know I could never include mascara. Not that I'm particularly obsessed with mascara but I do get pink eye on a regular basis, and if I've used a mascara and then I get an infection a couple of days later, I have to replace my mascara because if I use it again after the infection is gone, I will just end up with a new infection, because you can't sanitize a mascara. So I do go through quite a few mascaras without using them up but that's why I only use cheap mascaras. I only allow myself to get one high-end one a year, typically after Christmas when all the gift boxes are marked down and I can find a good deal.

I really needed this right now!!!! I started a no buy for makeup, skincare and hair products in Jan 2024 because certain areas in my home started to feel so cluttered. I get excited to get new products but I realized it would end up triggering my anxiety after not being able to organize my home because of the all the space taken by overflow of product. I also have attachment issues especially to my makeup but I so far I’ve been able to do two declutters 3 months a part and have been able to Ok with downsizing. So far these 6 months I’ve been able to stick and commit to no buys for skincare and haircare and have success with empties. The makeup no buy has been the hardest to stick too… but thank you for this video because I recently bought a few makeups products and was feeling a bit guilty. Stress was my trigger but I wasn’t considering that the other two no buys have been a success and even if I have bought makeup it’s been less than $200 worth within the last 6 months… when before I would easily spend that money almost every two months buying makeup, skincare, haircare without thinking. Soooo yes I failed my makeup no buy BUT after watching this video I can celebrate my wins on the other no buys, move on and hit reset on my makeup no buys and start shopping my stash again. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! ❤

Last year I wasn’t into makeup and barely bought things maybe 4-5 things total. Jan-May2 I bought 18 products. Went on a makeup no buy this year on May2.. then broke my no buy june25 to buy a new discontinued blush palette on mercari… Anyway going back to no buy till Nov. My wishlist keeps changing but might wait to finish more products. I unfollowed makeup review channels, but maybe should watch less makeup vids in general. I’ve been trying to focus on using my makeup instead of window shopping lol

That's really tough if you weren't into makeup last year but now you are and so you want to really lean into that! I hope you're able to (mostly) stick to the No buy until November. Good on you for unfollowing makeup review channels!
