Products I No Longer Purchase// Save Money & Reduce Waste!

[@tiffany4324]

Sub boxes seem so fun when you read spoilers- then 3 months later you have 20 unopened mascaras and 10 felt tip black liners 🙃

[@KellyGooch]

Haha EXACTLY!

[@garza2margarita]

Lol YES 😄

[@queenkatara7861]

*Specifically eyeko London eyeliners. I’ve gotten three of them from subscription boxes. And I’ve gotten four others from different brands.

[@flanya88]

@@queenkatara7861 Yes! those and the Kat Von D trooper liner

Mine is buying clothes that are too small for me. My reasoning was always that it'll be an incentive for me to lose weight, but I'm too lazy to exercise 😅

[@DestinyHopeLou]

For me it‘s keeping old clothes that are too small now. But you know, I might lose the weight I gained and fit into them again. 😩

[@weltschmertzz]

Did the same thing too! Only just recently accepted that gaining weight is part of growing up 😅

[@guardself921]

I’ve been decluttering and “minimize” my house for a bit now. Then we had a fire in end of April. While there was more save-able items I realized how much more I can cut out of my house. I left my decor items boxed up until the air ducts were clean which took longer due to covid. While my house was to bear for me. I haven’t even put all of the items back out. I’m enjoying the minimal but still beautiful decor rooms.

[@savannahholzen6781]

I needed that talk on subscription boxes! I watched this on my way to go thrift shop lol! Great video!!!!

[@rachellepotier4274]

Can I just say that you look stunning in this video. You’re gorgeous always but the yellow gold shadow, loose waves and deep v black shirt is so elegant! 😘

[@KellyGooch]

Thank you, Rachelle!

[@lucyk6396]

1. I felt like the make up I got from boxycharm was makeup that didn’t sell. 2. I don’t buy costume jewelry. I wear the same white gold jewelry my husband has gifted me which is simple classic pieces like my wedding rings and diamond studs and diamond pendant etc. I’ve been enjoying my minimal life. :) no muss no fuss.

[@steffid.8904]

Stationery is one of those categories that I can't seem to stop buying. 😅 I would love to see a video from you on the topic of fast fashion. 😉

[@myhauntingromance]

I feel the notebooks thing to my soul. I’m a stationary junkie who does everything by hand on paper and I’ve really had to try to get honest with myself about using the ones I have before buying more

[@amyames7066]

This!! I’m so the stationary junkie as well. Hello to a fellow one! Nice to finally meet someone who feels the same, doesn’t give me as much shame! Lol

[@myhauntingromance]

Amy ames I literally enjoy nothing more than shopping for office supplies. I love trying new pens and buying way too many notebooks. I think it’d be a dream to design stationary 😍

[@ahoosieratheart]

I love hearing this community start talking about consumption and unfair labor practices. Good on you. I know it's a hard line to balance considering this whole thing is based around consumption but I appreciate you doing it. I actually find that reviews and channels like this help me keep my consumption down because then I get to decide on a product before making regrettable purchases.

[@danisarmi30]

In order to "accessorize" my phone case when the paint started to come off, I painted it with nail polish. A preetty base color and glitter. It's been holding on well for the past months, makes me happy to look at and saved me from buying another one. Lately, one of my mail approaches to wanting something is asking myself if I can DIY it. It's been working pretty well. I made myself a lipstick organizer, an earring book, a dry brush cleaner (like a vera mona color switch) and my phone case

[@TheBeautyExpert]

I recently started trying to use up old notebooks that I’ve had for years. I totally agree, it’s time to use that stuff up!

[@k.huelle]

So agree with all of it but especially on the clothing and jewelry. I've invested in some great indie designers and have had some timeless pieces for 15 years or so and they are still in great shape. Also, finding a great tailor helps maximize clothing purchases.

[@roseannjuarez5163]

i have never related to you more with the notebooks....i absolutely love notebooks and journals. i have enough for 10 lifetimes...i have not purchased any new ones for 2020 and have been gifting the ones i have to friends.

[@tatianacunningham888]

I love that you made this video! I stopped buying new makeup products that aren’t cruelty free because of your channel, which inspired me to start making better purchasing decisions and reduce my waste in all areas of my life

[@katia_g213]

Nah, you were right. BoxyCharm turned to crap. Watching Lauren Mae Beauty is hilarious, and you feel the anger too at the things that go wrong 😂😂

[@kylafish]

i literally can’t stand subscription boxes lol. i would rather buy the makeup i want !!

[@barose1]

I had to cut back on notebook purchases as well. I was building up quite a collection of MUJI notepads since we have a store in downtown Portland. Since the beginning of COVID-19 in this area, and now the protests, federal police, etc, I haven't been there since early March though I only live 2 miles away. I've been using up what I have at home and it feels so much better than constantly buying new ones.

[@strawberreh]

Oooo yeah, I'm like that with Notebooks. I have no idea why, but something is so satisfying about writing in a fresh notebook

[@thanhkhue0312]

I'm also pretty much practicing all the things you said! One thing that I'm trying to keep down is makeup on sale and skincare. Makeup on sale is usually not the good stuff that I'd enjoy, therefore I end up wasting even more money. I used to like trying out different skincare products, but now I'm just focusing on using up everything I have.

[@tkmixon]

I feel ya on the notebooks, I love them but I definitely don’t need to buy anymore of them! And fancy pens too!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

I need to do this too, and I love that you did lifestyle items too!

[@EspressoLaine]

Yes to every single one of these. My mother always taught me to keep just a little “mad money” in the budget ($5-10/week) just for little splurges .... but where she would stash hers for a couple of months before springing on something nice, I nearly always ended up blowing through mine every week or two. Knowing what I really love *in my space*, not just theoretically (it’s cute, it’s new, it’s an elephant 😆) and choosing only to snag deals when it suits that profile has helped enormously - but alas, I’m still a recovering Impulse Buyer™️ 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@reneeelizabeth2727]

I really resonate with this video. I've been trying to cut back and use up what I have for a while, and I've really been minimizing my wardrobe too! Next up might have to be my favorite beauty box...thank you for the video!

[@catespinal1643]

Your hair looks so gorgeous in this video!! 🥰🥰 you always look great but there is something so special about your look here! So lovely!

[@billiejent281]

I would love to see you do a thredup haul and try on. I LOVE thrifting. I have been doing it since middle school. Even my wedding dress came from a consignment shop! It was beautiful

[@denaparaison6616]

You are being ecologically smart for your self and the earth! Good for u. Ur growing up❤️

[@celariea.7513]

I stopped makeup subscription boxes and I'm super happy about it! Haven't had one in about 6 months. And I don't miss it at all. I do still have ipsy small glam bag because that was a year long sub, but it has a way smaller impact on my collection than boxycharm. Looking back there isn't much that I still have or really care for from those boxes. Wish I had just spent the money on a few products I really really wanted.

[@laralikesmascara]

This is the kind of content I want to see!! Love videos talking about items/products to stop buying - I actually make a ton of videos about this kind of thing because I've done a complete 180. I used to be kind of a hoarder and was constantly buying new things, now I'm just trying to get use out of and get through what I already have! I find it so much more satisfying 😊

[@nadiah4069]

I feel you on the phone case thing, now I only buy one phone case from PELA (they decompose unlike normal phone cases) until I buy a new phone.

[@guitargirl9714]

You’re so right about subscription boxes! I broke down last year, and after a ton of research decided to do Ipsy. I chose them because it was inexpensive and got fairly good reviews. I foolishly went “all in” and ordered the year subscription because you get 12 months for the price of 10. I just have a couple months to go and I’m cancelling it so it doesn’t renew automatically. I have a ziplock bag of cute little samples that will probably expire before I can use them all. I’ve discovered a few things I really enjoy, but overall it feels very wasteful to me. There’s no way I can make it through all 5 products before the next months bag comes. That being said, I do wear minimal makeup and have very sensitive skin so I have to be careful what skincare I use. And I can’t even think about the cumulative waste generated by hundreds of subscription boxes bought by hundreds of thousands of people. Anyway to each his own, nobody needs to come at me if they enjoy subscription boxes and use up their products (yes we live in a world now where that disclaimer is necessary 🙄). I digress. Point is, the subscription box itch has been scratched for me, and I’ll Never. Get. One. Again.

[@Xocheer]

Loving the yellow eyeshadow look!

[@TheTumbleweed61]

I still love my BoxyCharm but you have given me something to think about with that. I also love to shop at thrift stores. They have a ton of “vintage stuff”. I had a a lot of phone cases but every time you upgrade the cases won’t work. I have 3 now.

[@TaraLyz]

The only subscription box I see myself buying is from Ipsy because it’s so cheap compared to most others. I also haven’t followed fashion trends in YEARS. Does not interest me. I would, however like to revamp my clothes just because I don’t really have what I would call a “proffesional” looking wardrobe and really want to find a cheap way of creating one.

[@elenageorgieva3384]

I love your makeup look. I myself do it all the time and its one of my favourite ones for summer! 💛💛

[@amandad3838]

One of my daughter's did a paper and video on fast fashion for college and I was amazed and appalled by what all really goes on. She was put in a contest and u6s getting published as a freshman in college.

[@jennawar13]

The only subscription boxes I get are for books which is my other big hobby outside of beauty, and I like getting physical books for a deal and for me I am paying for the reading experience so I don't mind if the book doesn't end up being a keeper on my shelf after reading it. I can always pass them on to my mom or a friend which to me makes it more worth my dollar. Plus I use my library a lot, so getting the sub box is a nice treat to myself. Same I also never buy trendy jewelry. My sensitive skin prefers only real silver and gold anyways so that's where my investment goes. You've mentioned Ana Luisa and I really love Xio for more affordable real pieces. I have never had a cute phone case lol mostly because I drop the crap outta my phone, so I always go for a black protective case. And I have a lot of notebooks. I do journal, but fast enough to go through these. To be fair, I don't buy new ones I get them as gifts because people know I journal, but I also have some half used ones from grad school still (I graduated last year) that I need to use somehow.

[@shreyavalunj]

You look so beautiful today. Loved knowing these things. Even I never bought notebooks in college that too! Because I had lots of papers to take notes on. Loved this ❤️

[@KellyGooch]

Thank you, Shreya!

[@autumnkinz]

One thing I wish I saw more KZbinrs do is to stop buying wall decor from retailers and buy actual art prints from artists! In so many cases they aren't any more expensive, but they're SO MUCH MORE interesting. And you're supporting artists!

[@christinam.6013]

I love your makeup, especially the bright gold eyeshadow, it's stunning! You make a lot of good points in this video that I relate to. I am trying to buy less of everything too. I am striving towards minimalism (I will never be a true minimalist though).

[@emme4129]

Interestingly enough, I got an incredibly helpful tip from (of all things) a fashion magazine: if you like a certain trend, buy one item that fits it. Get one pair of tassel earrings for instance and if you wear them to death, THAT'S when you think about getting more. That is a weird rule I've always tried to follow. I will never be able to convince myself not to have a huge stack of notebooks and journals though. So I'm with you there.

[@KellyGooch]

I love that!!

[@kathybrou1340]

That is good advice. I buy something, I like it, I buy one in every color. I only wear the first one.

[@mmkline1989]

I am on a year long no-buy for beauty, clothes, homewares. I have a tiny list of items that I can replace if I use up. It has really helped me see some toxic shopping habits I had!

[@ericaashley]

Those yellow earrings looks very nice with your yellow eyeshadow 🤩💛

[@uglyducklingswan]

I am a notebook paper nut also. I usually buy second hand clothing and not get caught up in trends. I have tons of necklaces I barley wear anymore. I wought like to go thrifting but not sure what open here. I just trying not to buy much right now since I not going out. I get causebox subscription that I enjoy and it does give back but I think I may just stop it this year when it runs out. I have gotten some really got stuff in it. I most get books from the library so they go back. I also read online. I do however need to dclutter everything I have and irganize. I going to have to wait because no one is picking up donations right now and I don't drive due to a disablity.

[@AnnieYaYa]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that tries to use their old notebooks. 💚 I think it is great that we acknowledge this mentality to buy what we don't need.

[@Mgaex]

Omg I feel the exact same on home decor, clothes, notebooks and phone cases! In the end it all turns to clutter and junk and I’m sick of seeing it around my house and having it in my life

[@river8142]

Ditto on the papers and books! I haven't bought any new notebooks since I entered college (and I'm close to graduating now) because I'm using up the stationery my sister and I hoarded when we were kids. I've also given away all but the most sentimental of my books, since they take up so much space and it's so much easier to pull out my phone to read on my commute

[@formersusan]

Furniture. I have been living with no furniture for the past three years. My sister and mother were appalled to see a nearly empty apartment, but it's easy to clean and not cluttered. And my cats love it.

[@courtneycullen6289]

I'm like yep, yep, yep, yep, agree, yep. The trends now were the trends when I was in high school and college. The one thing I do to supplement my wardrobe (and this is only because of my job, I pause it whenever we are in lockdown, which it looks like we are going back into next week) is I use a rental service. I rent either tops or dresses and use it with my capsule basic wardrobe. I have, in the 8 months (minus 2 months for quarantine) purchased one dress (it's black and simple and was used). And its literally only because of the expectations about how professional women dress. I am a HUGE thrift and consignment shopper. I used to resell my clothes as well, but we have a really, really wonderful non-profit that provides them to women who are looking for jobs. And I have actually stopped buying jewelry entirely. If its something I want, I have to want it enough to ask my wife for it as a present, which works out super well. Otherwise I make jewelry as a chill creative past time some weekends. I'm not brilliant at it, but I can make some earrings or string some beads, which has kind of turned into a way of giving little gifts that my friends actually like. And with home stuff, I either buy it used, or make my wife go with me (and she hates shopping). The only thing I will say is beware the garage sale addiction (this isn't a thing right now), but we used to go ALL the time and now I have a garage full of things for garage sales. But for clothes, accessories, BOOKS, and some homewares, I think its brilliant. And I REALLY try not to buy new cotton anything except denim (even then, usually used), because the amount of pesticides in the Gulf from growing cotton is horrifying. It is this giant, giant dead zone.. I will occasionally buy a concert or influencer merch shirt if I know it is something that I will wear to rags (and then use as rags, and then use in my garden), but I try to go with something like a mug instead. Coffee mugs or tumblers are my "commemorative" item of choice, because we use the heck out of them (Jessica Braun vibes here too) and they are also things I use for storage all over my house and office. LOVE this video Kelly!

[@starmane8840]

I was thinking about joining a subscription service but decided against it due to waste and environmental impact. Like you said, I’d rather buy something intentional. 💜

[@lena7623]

I'm someone that buys notebooks, too, especially ones with cute covers. I'm way better than I used to be, so I'm working through my stack of them. And I think we need a thrift haul from you. I love thrifting!

[@tracystano2002]

Goodness I agree with so many of these! 1. I feel like sub boxes so add up in terms of products.I agree with you! 2. For clothes I would rather have 1 nice and expensive thing than 10 cheaper things. I prefer classic things compared to trends,which I dont pay attention to. This is also true for me for everything like jewlery. I don't buy cheap Forever 21 jewlery anymore.I want more quality pieces from Kendra Scott or Pandora. 3. other things I dont buy: cotton pads,sponges, batteries. All of these have sustainable options I buy instead.

[@leerodriguez9564]

This video gave me SO much mariekondo vibes! I love it, deff do more lifestyle videos....but I agree with thrifting! its the way to go!

[@myhauntingromance]

Love this vid when Jess did it so I’m happy you’re doing it too. And you outline so many things I’m doing too. I couldn’t get into sub boxes because I feel like I’m wasting my money on random stuff (you explained my mindset on it perfectly). The only one I get is Bookish Box but I’m canceling my subscription because I really don’t need more stuff I’m also guilty of the decor thing. I work at Homegoods now and surprisingly it’s helped me buy less because I know we’ll get new stuff in. Plus I’m trying to save up for my own home and simplify my life/declutter

[@janvierbalser2849]

prettiest eye look yet

[@zarinaemerson1829]

Relate to a lot of these. I’ve never purchased subscription boxes so not a problem there. For trendy items I found it easier not to fall into the trap of just purchasing them when I figured out my style and what suits me (I expect it to change over time but I’ll deal with it then). I only try the trends works with my style. I also love thrift shopping for clothes but it’s a struggle to get the fit right because oversized clothes don’t work for my body shape.

[@kaitlynsvintagecloset]

Loved this video! I am all about the second hand shopping and anything I can do to reduce waste.

[@vilde9379]

Love the video kelly 😊 you look so beautiful and glowy with that yellow eyeshadow. One thing that I've stopped buying is nail polish in colours I hardly wear.

[@elizabethgarland2238]

I really love my small Ipsy bag because I agree 100% I cant house too many sub box pieces in my curated collection ...so if I see something in Boxy that I want I just buy it from Poshmark ...ppl ALWAYS sell Boxy on Posh and they r new items ... Like if I see 1 or 2 things Boxy i buy.... Cute vid grily!!! Take care xoxo

[@rosegarza4887]

Wow I really do enjoy your channel I can totally relate to you when it comes to shopping for clothes because I am scared to become a hoarder it’s in my family so because of it I’m very cautious about shopping so thank you again that’s why I enjoy your channel because I can relate to you.💕💕

[@olyache6594]

So true! I've been subscribed to Birchbox for a about a year(I don't think we have Boxycharm here in UK) and accumulated so much stuff I would't buy myself(literally like 99,9% of everything I received in those boxes), so even for just £10 a month it still doesn't make sense! And it's mostly not about the money, but the amount of clutter which comes to your life before you notice that. A big no no for me! 😝

[@jenadams2576]

I have made a lot of these shopping mistakes. With paper and notebooks, I also love to buy nice pens, or stationary. But I don't send that many letters or cards. 🤦‍♀️ So I have stopped buying those, unless I do have a specific need. I also used to buy books all the time and while I do still buy books and I love having books, I try to only buy books I will want to use as a reference or reread again. Other books I am interested in but am not sure if I will read again I try to order from the library. I love thrift shopping too! Fun video. ❤️

[@nay_yvette5301]

I had cut out subscribtion boxes, ipsy glam bag is only one i get but soon will stop. Most stuff i see these boxes have i can always find cheaper if i really wanted it.

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

[@emmalamb4256]

Okay your hair!! I’m so late watching this, but I can’t get over how shiny and gorgeous your hair is! What products have you been using??

[@NaokoKawaii]

Yeah I love being smarter about my purchases. Last year was very rough for me and in order to get distracted from depression I bought A LOT of stationary. I mean, I have always adored stationary but it started to be too much, so I've decided to use up most of what I have and once my collection gets too small I'll repurchase, not before. :)

[@abigailsarafian8747]

I feel like I'm the same with notebooks but also different. I LOVE starting a new one and declaring that theme kind of. Like "okay, this will be my notebook I use for traveling, writing down reservation numbers, notes on what we do, etc" ...but at the same time I have my notebook from my 8th grade history class (26 years later....) that I have used for SO many random lists/planning over the years. And I still have at least 20 pages left! Lol it's odd for sure!

[@jrebecca0195]

Thank you for this video, Kelly! I'm trying so hard to reduce my spending on unnecessary, excessive items, so I like videos like yours for inspiration.

[@arianna548]

I also do most of my shopping at thrift stores. My favorite is the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop. They do a really good job of curating their items and everything you spend is donated to cancer research.

[@daffyduck4203]

[@ashlingcarroll4420]

I’m also really cutting back on clothes shopping and especially buying from fast fashion brands. Can you advise on any clothing brands you do support?

[@MissDaechwita]

I just did the same beginning in July, along with no buy for cosmetics. It's not easy but I needed it.

[@ginar3442]

Such an interesting video. I have substantially reduced my purchases during lockdown and I'm curious to see how my behaviour will change if we ever get back to a "normal" life. If it changes...

[@LarinaValarin]

I've definitely been on the buy little clothing train for quite a while, with the occasional spurs when I need to refresh some elements or when some shirts are just worn out. I actually looked at my facebook memories today and realized I'm wearing a shirt that I wore 13 years ago, and I don't think it was brand new at the time xD

[@karenmazzacone5906]

[@miareichert5964]

i only got 3 months of boxycharm and cancelled without hesitation. the last one came in the mail yesterday and it was highly disappointing. i feel like i never have heard of the brands included and they did a terrible job of following my preferences (i.e. putting that lip products are one thing i’d never want and i got them every box). so you’re not missing out!

[@kitpritchard5442]

The clothing and accessories thing makes me so glad I've never been trendy or in style! I buy pieces I love and thrift a lot and make stuff. But the notebooks thing is me af. 😂

[@meganm9533]

I quite enjoyed this video! I’m obsessed with thrift shopping. I enjoy hunting for home decor pieces that are unique or that I can repurpose

[@Delieivey]

Boxy charm (while a good deal) sent way too many eyeshadow palettes that were rarely color stories I would buy myself... I did start ipsy plus because You can curate the box more by doing the survey and reviewing monthly products. I focus on skincare products and love trying them!

[@beckybertish7841]

I used to do a few sub boxes. I do medusa's makeup and I do it every other month. I agree because some things get randomly picked, and I have too much makeup. I'm a clutter queen so I can relate.

[@Katiexobeautyyt]

I really don't buy much clothes anymore either. I felt like in the past I was going through my closet every season and getting rid of a lot of stuff and that to me was pointless. So I try to only buy stuff I love now and not just buying stuff to buy stuff.

[@debbierose98]

I’m with you on the notebooks. I’m pretty sure I have at least 10 of them.

[@rebecca5379]

[@Screamsoda1234]

To try and keep my beauty waste down, i stopped picking samples with my sephora/ulta orders. I don't ever use them and its so much plastic i really don't need. they also take up a weirdly large amount of space in my makeup drawer.
