RULES:
1- No more than 2 beauty box subs per month
2- No more than 1 “lifestyle” box sub per month
3- Allowance fot the boxes cannot be transferred
4- No buying products in categories I already have products in. These are to be 1 in, 1 out.
5- No buying eye shadow products until I figure out one decent eye shadow look AND wear eye shadow 3 days in the same week at work
6- Products can be used up, given or thrown out to allow for room.
These are my main rules at the moment.
I have some room to grow because there are things I don't own any of yet... I only have 2 blushes, one red one and one light pink. I'm looking for a more coral type blush right now to add to my stash. I'm also looking for a highlighter and possibly some translucent powder. I'd be open to adding a matte lipstick too since I have none. I also have some lip colours I don't really have anything of that could possibly be added to my stash...
I'm trying to manage beauty boxes because I don't want to go overboard. I was so close to subscribing to Beauty Box 5 and I've been interested in Starlooks too, but that will wait. I'm hoping Topbox flops soon so I can try something new soon lol.
I don't have any "lifestyle" boxes yet but I'm open to adding a bath type box, probably the seasonal one, I forget the name.
Great post hun! Love your rules! I need to cut down a lot too!

DeleteGreat rules Candice!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree if you have nothing like it in your collection already then it is ok to buy something.
Im giving myself the rule of only $20 a month for beauty related stuff. And I need to really think about the purchase beforehand. Not just buy cause the color is pretty. If I have 7 red lipsticks then I dont need anymore. But if I only have 1 nude lipstick then I can buy one. I am hoping that by not going cold turkey I can stick to it and not buy little things here and there.
I wish you continued success on your low-buy!!

Thanks for sharing your rules - I like the concept of a low-buy a bit better than a no-buy :)
ReplyDeleteI also nominated you for a Liebster Award! http://citygirl55.blogspot.ca/2013/01/liebster-award-x2.html
I need to make some rules like these for myself!
ReplyDeleteI am doing the same also :)
ReplyDeleteNo reason to keep buying when you have tonnes of product that isnt being used up. Its just a waste!
