100 Day Spending Ban Update - Week 1

Hey Everyone!

Just before I get onto the update I want to say a massive thankyou! Yesterday I reached over 10,000 page views & I currently have 302 followers, thankyou so much to everyone for the support. I will be having a giveaway soon but at the moment I am skint, so look out for that in the next few weeks, thankyou so so much.

So today is my first update for my 100 day spending ban challenge. I have been doing this for 7 days, so 93 to go! This week has been quite hard as there has been so much stuff I wanted, and I went into town as I needed to buy a friend a birthday present, and as she is also interested in makeup I decided to get her a Fashionista palette. Now if you have read my post about all the lovely giveaway prizes I have won, you will know that I now have a Fashionista palette and 2 refills, and it was so hard not to buy 2 more. I kept thinking 'well I'll buy this and then reschedule the spending ban' but I didn't buy it, and I am so happy and feel so much better for it. I just picked the one up for my friend and walked out of Superdrug. 

Now for this weeks wishlist! (be warned there is A LOT)

So as you can probably tell from my humongous wishlist, this first week has been very very tempting!
But I am pleased to say that I have not spent one single penny on cosmetics. *pat on the back* 

Please leave a comment if you are doing a spending ban! I would love to check out how you are getting on.

What's on your wishlist this week?

Thanks for reading

    Wow I really admire you for keeping doing this challenge! I only have done one week spending ban challenges and I seem to not be able to keep it. I now have a spending ban for 'big and pricey stuff' and clothes.. I only buy stuff I truly need and that seems to go well for the last month :)

    I don't know how you'll do 100 days! I know I could never go 100 days without buying something! :P But good luck to you all the same, the first 28 days without something are the hardest apparently so after a month you probably won't even be that tempted to buy things anymore, you'll just wish you had them :P

      Aww thankyou! Oh yes good idea I will do that, although it depends if I save my money :p because I am still allowed to buy clothes :')& I do need a whole new winter wardrobe as my last one doesn't fit anymore :( xx
