I managed to not make an impulse purchase
I’ve been wanting the naked 3 for some time and got an instagram ad from the brand saying that the palette is on sale. Now, I didn’t have the money. Instead of putting the purchase on my credit card (which I paid off a month ago and haven’t used since), I decided to wait until I get paid.
Not buying makeup helped me not buy other stuff
I was on a website because I saw that this particular site had some new stuff that went up. I wanted to check it out. I saw they had this robe and I was so interested! I have one robe I wear all the time so I thought it was a good idea and this new one is floor length, the one I have isn’t.
I just paid for shipping
Small victory, but a victory nonetheless. This evening I went to order a new Brow Flick from Glossier, because my old one went dry. I immediately started browsing for other interesting makeup products to meet that sweet ”free shipping” criteria...then realised what I was doing. I do NOT need more makeup, my stash is already full to the brim.
I got approved for an apartment!
My brother and I are moving across town to a new apartment in a few weeks from our parents’ house. I’m really excited but nervous. This move will force me to realize what I do and don’t use in makeup/skin care/body care. Also I’ll be forced to change my spending habits drastically. I’m scared because I’m a creature who loves comfort.
Switch your thinking
I started today browsing Sephora's website and found an eyeshadow palette that was on sale and beautiful. I checked it using Temptalia and realized I have maybe 1 dupe for the whole thing, so I should get it, right?
I used every blush, highlighter, and bullet lipstick I own one by one
I have a pretty large collection. I decided to put all blush, highlighters, and bullet lipsticks into boxes and use them one by one. As I used them, I would put them back into my vanity.
How did that happen?
Yesterday I was waiting for a friend to pick me up and she was running late. While I'm killing time, I go online to sephora and put a hair styling product into my cart. Its pricey but it's a holy grail for me and I haven't found a cheaper alternative yet. This will be my first cosmetic purchase (hair, skin, makeup) for 2021.
I didn't do it
The other day, I was doing my makeup and while I was doing it I realised I had mainly warm toned, dark brown and orange eyeshadow because that's what I usually go for (I even gave my mum a completely cool toned eyeshadow palette a few years ago, because I was not ever using it).
Lose weight with project panning
So I started project pan of my less favorite lipsticks a few weeks ago. I usually love to have a full coat of lipstick and reapply after eating.
I hit pan on my concealer!!
Not posting this in PanPorn bc I want to pan a few more things and do a bulk post but I'm so proud of myself! The product rotation method has been quite sustainable for me and it's so pleasing to see that the first concealer (purchased 7 months ago) in my makeup collection is showing signs of being used (it's in a compact/ pot form).

This is your sign to cancel your make-up subscription box
I had BoxyCharm for 2 years, and holy cow did I end up with a lot of CRAP. I had premium with usually includes a whole palette each month which usually were subpar. I found myself accumulating tons of make-up I would never use, stuff that wasn’t right for my skin type, and stuff that would irritate my eyes and skin.
Natasha Denona Marketing Strategy
I know this strategy is nothing new with makeup companies, but I always still catch myself falling for it. With Natasha Denona, they have the larger sizes palettes that retail into the hundreds. I would never dream of buying those given the sheer amount I already own, no matter how wonderful the formula is.
No urge to buy makeup after getting my skin under control
This is something I realized just now...I haven’t had the urge to purchase makeup in almost two months, after habitually buying makeup once a month as a “treat” 😑. I think it’s because I finally found skincare that works really well for me. I guess feeling like my skin was out of control made me subconsciously want to buy makeup.
Confessions of a Returnoholic: How I got banned from Nordstrom
In 2019, I received a letter from Nordstrom Rack Account Team informing me that I am banned from shopping online due to my high return rate. It mentioned that I spent $121K with them in the past 2 years and returned 80% of what I bought. I was shocked.
