Finished my 100 day spending ban!

Hi everyone!

So on the 11th of December 2012, I finished my 100 day spending ban. The reason I stopped doing updates every week was because I genuinely wasn't spending anything on makeup anymore and didn't have anything for my wish list!

I am so happy I did this challenge because recently I have had so much more money to spend on clothes and days out etc. I realised how much money I actually spent on makeup and I have finally realised I have way to much and need to start working my way through some of it before I buy anymore.

When I first started this challenge it was really really hard and I wasn't entirely sure how I would last 100 days but as time web ton boy did it get easier! Eventually you manage to get yourself out of the habit of spending money, and now I genuinely don't feel like I have to sped money now!

Although there a few things from my wish list that I would still love to try like the soap & glory concealer and a few other makeup bits, I'm not going to be rushing out to get them until I work my way through some of my makeup at the moment and I am currently very happy with how my products are working for me.

I am also tempted to have another blog sale, so let me know if you're interested :D

Spending Ban- The 100 day challenge!


Hey Everyone!

So I am setting myself one of the hardest challenges I think I could ever do, but I am determined to succeed! After seeing the Tattooed Tealady's post I decided that it would be a good idea for me to do this. I have absolutely zilch self control and I can't control what I spend, the second some money comes into my bank I have spent it, literally within the next day and then I always have plans for what I will do with the next weeks allowance. I have realized that this has to stop because it means I don't have money when I need it and it is especially a big problem around Christmas time. I have far too much makeup, so much so that I don't think I will ever be able to get through it all, so I need to start using some of it up! I am not only doing this challenge to save money, but also to try and prove to myself that I can have willpower as up until now I didn't think this would be possible, but I am really going to try.

So here are the rules for myself:

  • I am not allowed to buy any cosmetics, no matter how badly I want or think I need it! I have too much makeup and I have enough to last me for the whole of this challenge and even more.
  • I have to stick to this for 100 days(until the 11th December).
  • I can buy presents for other people's birthdays etc.
  • I must only buy clothes that are necessary & because I need them.
So those are my rules, I am really going to try to stick to them, and I will post every week with an update of how I am doing. I will also create a wishlist of things I want and see how many I will still want at the end.I hope you enjoy watching me attempting this challenge, and by all means do this yourself aswell and adapt the rules to suit you, or use mine. If you do decide to do this please link the posts so I can follow your experience too.
