Very nice eye look! And well done on your spending this year! You are one of my favorite channels that keeps me in check with my spending. Thank you for that. 😁
I also have a December birthday, and was sad that the birthday gifts were all gone. I also chose the 250 points. I got the glow recipe strawberry acne treatment, pharmacy moisturizer and the sol de janero hair oil. I just don’t buy from Sephora as much as I do ulta.
I love the inkey list oat cleansing balm. I use it as a first oil cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup. It took some trial and error to figure out how to use it successfully. I Splash my face with water and get it damp, apply a nickel size amount of the cleanser and rub it between my hands, and then massage it into my face and and eye make up. Then splash face again with water and massage in again and at that point it emulsifies everything. Then it's super simple to wipe off with a makeup wipe, washcloth, or microfiber rag. Of course then I wash again with a hydrating Second Step cleanser. I have a small bin and my bathroom that I throw the washcloths into. At the end of the week I throw them into my washing machine with my towels and they come out clean. I hope that helps
Wow, well done on spending much less this year! I did most of the spending in the first month this year to replenish things, also splurge on my birthday, then nothing much for the rest of the year except for replacing mascara. Next year, I only want to get things I absolutely need, to replace anything I finish. Because I want to put my spending on traveling.
Im looking forward to the grwm! it's very interesting to see how less makeup/ more makeup converts to a beauty youtuber's ratio. for example, you could buy 5 eyeshadow palettes total this year, but that's like the number of palettes I have bought over like 4-5 years lmao. But I still get a sense of anti-consumerism from your channel! It's always been one of my favorites
Congrats on hitting your goal on eyeshadow palettes and lip products! I find these types of videos very interesting. I’m about to set my budget for 2023 and am trying to make sure my budget is realistic but balance saving/paying off debt and buying some fun stuff. Always a challenge!
Thanks for sharing with us! I've been trying to be mindful of my purchases and still have kinks to work out but overall I am happy with my collection now and will be doing a low buy next year so I can use up some of what I have before bringing more in.
I didn’t track my actual spending, but I did notice that my first low buy year was successful! I didn’t even reach diamond level for ulta rewards for next year!
I’m impressed by the minimal amount of makeup that you brought in to your collection! I need to make some goals for myself since I can’t stop buying stuff for some reason 🤦♀️
Would love a kick off video for your approach for this year. Also a few updates quarterly or a few more, on how it's going would be great. Keep us on track and encourage us to be mindful
That Tarte juicy lip product was so messy for me. I think it melted in transit or something but it was always all over the containers and so soft that it’d just fall apart as I tried to use it. I had to toss it out finally because it was just getting everywhere.
I have the minis & I didn't have this issue. But hearing fairly negative reviews, many bc of this, I was hyper aware to not leave it in my car. The minis are twist up, I wonder if it's slightly different for packaging purposes, since it doesn't have to ooze through a hole, lol
I loved the Inkey List oat cleansing balm, but I think they changed the formua because it wasn't emusifaying at all anymore. As somebody else said, splashing my face with water before applying it helps a lot to finish my last one, but I haven't bought it since.
Oh I didn't love the inky list cleansing balm either! I mean for the price, if you're on a really really tight budget, I can see how one could MAKE it work, I finished it, but I'd rather have the elf!
The tarte lip gloss, I have the minis too, different from the full size packaging... I think I like better, haven't had a full size, but I haven't heard anyone complain about the packaging
That’s ridiculous that Sephora ran out of the birthday kits! My bday is in November and I was able to get the Tatcha set but what is the point of offering if December can’t get what they want?
Huh. That is SO interesting that the Oat Cleansing Balm doesn't rinse off for you - the reason I like that one is that it completely emulsifies and rinses off cleanly with water. Lol. Weird that we've had such different experiences! I wonder if it's maybe a hard water versus soft water thing? I have no idea. Very interesting, though!
Wow 2 palettes that’s great I feel like eyeshadow palettes are one of my weaknesses I’ve got 6 eyeshadow palettes coming to me alone for Christmas of friends and family . Ooh very pretty ND Flakes I’ve heard so much on these some people love them and some hate them so I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion Sarah
So I am just giving you my opinion but I dont think the rare beauty eye primer is it. I am a eye shadow girly and use primer literally every time I put on eyeshadow. I love the milani, the cover girl, urban decay, and too faced but unfortunately i tried the rare beauty one and it was not what I needed it to be. No matter what I tried my shadows creased.just be aware.
UD stay naked is definitely getting discontinued. The fact that only darker shades are available on the Sephora website is a dead giveaway. It never skips - not getting restocked.

I saw that Elf is coming out with a sunscreen too 👀

I had the same experience with the Inkey List cleansing balm. It also turned really quickly, and I had to throw out about half of it!

I love when you shop your stash and then do a look with all the makeup. Love your channel! ❤
Merry Christmas!
You look so beautiful, your eyelook is stunning 😍😍😍
Greetings from Germany 🤗
Thank you so much!!

This look really suits you alotttt
Thank you!❤️
i bought some backups this year.. I'm glad I didn't go too crazy on makeup this year
I also have a December birthday and I just got the extra points too.. they should really have better options for those of us with late birthdays haha
Great effort and progress! Also really interesting analysis of what you used up vs what you spent! Thanks for sharing!!
Oh I didn't love the inky list cleansing balm either! I mean for the price, if you're on a really really tight budget, I can see how one could MAKE it work, I finished it, but I'd rather have the elf!
Love how bright your eyes are!
This eyelook makes your eyes look so big, open, beautiful!
The tarte lip gloss, I have the minis too, different from the full size packaging... I think I like better, haven't had a full size, but I haven't heard anyone complain about the packaging
Your make up looks really good today. 👍
That’s ridiculous that Sephora ran out of the birthday kits! My bday is in November and I was able to get the Tatcha set but what is the point of offering if December can’t get what they want?
Curious as to how everything will pan out this next year.

Weird that we've had such different experiences! I wonder if it's maybe a hard water versus soft water thing? I have no idea. Very interesting, though!
i also bought the inkylist oak cleaner and i am not happy with it at all. i feel like such a grease ball after i use it.
Same!! Feels like I'm rubbing butter on my face 😆
Wow 2 palettes that’s great I feel like eyeshadow palettes are one of my weaknesses I’ve got 6 eyeshadow palettes coming to me alone for Christmas of friends and family . Ooh very pretty ND Flakes I’ve heard so much on these some people love them and some hate them so I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion Sarah
Would love to see this eye look with a burgundy instead of black!
Really balanced this year, that's great! I find these so interesting.
How would you calculate gift cards would you count it as what you spent or like a discount
I don't think I'd count those personally!
It's so strange to me that in America the tax isn't included in the price
You did Great... And you bought intentionally..
So I am just giving you my opinion but I dont think the rare beauty eye primer is it. I am a eye shadow girly and use primer literally every time I put on eyeshadow. I love the milani, the cover girl, urban decay, and too faced but unfortunately i tried the rare beauty one and it was not what I needed it to be. No matter what I tried my shadows creased.just be aware.
Oh no!!😩
UD stay naked is definitely getting discontinued. The fact that only darker shades are available on the Sephora website is a dead giveaway. It never skips - not getting restocked.
Nooooo 😭
🎄🎄🤗❤️
Yeah all of the products I’ve tried from Inkey List has been 👎👎
If you save up 2500 points at Sephora you can get a $100 gift card.
Only if you're a Rouge member
My entire collection cost roughly about $3500 and I know because I keep every receipt, and I don't think it's unreasonable.
