Hello :)
I just wanted to quickly update that this blog is not dead. Ok so it has been dead for the past few months but i have very good explainations! lol Won't you let me explainnnnnnnnn.
Basically, i am a make up skincare hoarder. And i've been trying to cut back and use what i have. The disappointment of looking at something you love and knowing it's nearing the 'too old to be used' stage makes me sad especially when i have 10 back ups of it.
So i've been not buying anything i don't need, not buying things that are "new and fun to try". Simply because i've got 30 other 'new and fun to try' unopened eyeliners or lipsticks sitting in a drawer somewhere.
Also, saving. At my mid twenties, my financial status is not at the top. It isn't bad. If i wanted something i could buy it easily. But it's time to think about the future. I want to buy a new car and be able to afford a house one day.
Also i figured, the amount i spent on beauty products, a few shopping trips could = a designer item that will maintain it's value a bit longer than make up :)
To stop buying beauty products is hard but something has really made me start. And it is my allergies. I need to avoid gluten/wheat products which means nothing with wheat germ oil. I've also recently discovered i need to avoid things with Vitamin E which is derived from wheat.... which means 90% off my beauty products will go in the bin.
I've been slowly sorting my stuff. Anything with wheat for sure i've taken out and given away. I will try to sell some more expensive products that are new and sealed to hopefully get back some of the $$$ i spent and use that towards my new gluten free make up :)
That means this blog will now become a gluten free shopping blog!
I think i'll have stuff like fashion accessories, make up and skincare still but only things i find that are gluten free :)
I'm so busy with work i won't be able to post once a week like i use to :( Hopefully once every fortnight i guess hehe And because i'm buying lesser now i'll just post collective hauls which has lots and lots of photos. I know that's what we all like! hehe
I've definitely bought a lot of fun items since my last post... which i can't even remember when that was! Sorry :(
Is there anyone else who has had to cut back on their beauty stash for any reason? I'm a bit of a organization freak so it's kind of fun even though it's sad at the same time :O
I will back back soon with lots of photos!
