THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND BEING WONDERFUL!!!
I've also decided to go on no-buy July. The first week was challenging but I've been in a space where I can't afford what I spend for awhile; stuck in a loop of pay-in-four systems, always pining for something new. Truthfully, I also felt the swell of desire during those fourth of July sales. I've been thinking more critically about the things I want and what to spend my money on, and I'm just dying to get out of the pay-in-4 loop so I can never be there again. I've found your wishlist and wait strategy immensely helpful, and have taken to physically writing the things down in my journal with prices so I can see the actual cost of all my fancies. It feels so good to cross something off because I've realized I don't actually want it, and didn't actually buy it! I've found your channel very calming in the hectic beauty space and your no-buy project has been very inspiring to me. As someone in my early 20s, this feels like the ideal time to unlearn nasty spending habits. I'm very appreciative of the advice you've given as it has helped me tremendously. Thank you.
Pay in 4 is such a trap, be proud of yourself for working to get out of that loop!
I feel your pain about the pay in four loop 💖
My history with debt stems from my late teens/early 20s, it was out of control even though the internet wasn’t really accessible to me. I had other ways of falling into the quagmire, and I’m still an addict despite me being more in control back then. NOW is the time to get a grip, you’re doing the right thing and in doing so one day you’ll not have to use pay in 4. I’m now 43 and working my way through my issues - next month will have to be no-buy as I caned the Pat McGrath sale - I so wish I’d seen this video a month back.
My aim is to also get out of the pay in 3/4 loops I’ve got into. In fact once those P McG things are done, I’m done. Don’t be a me, get yourself clean :)
We're all doing better! It feels nice knowing I'm not alone, and we can hold each other accountable!
I am on a no-buy for all of 2022. I slipped up a few months ago to buy a Pat McGrath quad second-hand on Poshmark and I really regret it. I thought there was such a thing as the perfect bronze eyeshadow. I've been chasing it forever. I thought I would find it in that quad, but of course I didn't. I finally had to admit to myself that there is no perfect bronze -- only an ever-shifting idea of a perfect bronze that can never be fulfilled. (Turns out I have way more fun mixing shadows that I already have to create elusive bronzes!) I am still struggling to internalize the fact that, inevitably, once the makeup I've been obsessing over arrives, it becomes what it always was: a plastic thing that sits among my older plastic things. I really need to learn that what I'm obsessing over now will lose its magical aura so soon after I buy it, and another thing will take its place in terms of desire. I really want off of this hamster wheel!
I also saw the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks and thought they looked beautiful, but I know that if I bought any of them (or if I bought any of the Phytosurgence makeup that lives in my mind rent-free), it would have more adverse effects than positive ones. It would mean I would use the stuff I already have less often. It would mean more stuff taking up space. And the boost in happiness is so marginal and fleeting. As you said, it's just not worth it.
My goal in 2022 has been to love on what I have and stop looking for things to want. It's been really hard. The urge to 'buy to try' is strong, and I make it harder on myself by watching beauty channels, so I appreciate content like this video. Thank you, and solidarity to you, HLP
I don’t usually comment on videos but I’m going through a very stressful time with family and moving and decided to go on this no-buy with you due to emotional shopping impulses. When you said “after I bought it, I would still be the same person with the same quirks and challenges - but the urge itself isn’t silly” I actually teared up. What a beautiful way to reframe the issue and take the guilt and shame out of it. Thank you Hannah!
thank you for your comment! I'm so glad that this resonated with you
Ooo the pink vneck sweater came to fruition!
did it ever!!!
I just want to acknowledge that I have done a full no-buy week. It has been a challenge but I have done it. Thanks for this inspiration, I needed it!
I’m living for the blush bleeding into the eyeshadow like watercolor paints 😍
I KNEW my no buy would be threatened by Lisa Eldridge’s release so I accounted for it by allowing ONE purchase from it and THAT’S IT. My birthday month is also July so I knew to keep going I had to give myself SOME grace as LE has WRECKED my no buys before (I mean I wrecked them but you know). She’s too good man!!!!
Thank you so much for this much needed content in our hyper-capitalistic/consumer society - this 'no buy' content is SO refreshing. I saw you on the Financial Diet and started following for this type of content and it's been great - I definitely needed a reset on my spending which was getting out of hand and am doing No Buy July (and August, and September)! It's going really well so far, it hasn't been too difficult. I anticipate it will get much harder as time goes on but it helps to know I have your videos and no buy experience to inspire me to keep going.
I am considering doing the rest of the month no buy, plus August and September. There will be a few exceptions but, this content definitely makes me think twice. I had some things in my cart for the Nordstrom sale that I really don’t need, so I’m deleting that. I like what she said about once it’s done to reassess.
Hannah!! I commented this on the previous video but I was watching your bronze shadow swatching video and I think for no buy July you should definitely bring back swatching all the shadows you have in a particular color!! I’ve been playing the bronze blue and green ones while swatching those same colors among my own shadows
Yes, i love thos videos too! I would love to see those greeny golds, Patinas, metallics🤩
Yes please. A great idea!
Oh Hannah, I feel you right now… as an impulsive ADHDer and fellow magpie obsessive towards all things beautiful, it’s taking a tremendous amount of willpower for me not to cave in and buy even one lip color from this new launch. It’s only because of your videos (and my dwindling bank account numbers) that I’ve begrudgingly started my own no-buy, because sometimes self-love means not having that extra donut, or in this case, saving money that would have gone to joy-sparking but ultimately perishable objects… so I don’t literally go broke.
I’ve been trying to pull away from cosmetic advertising in my social media feed and focusing instead on the color theory and creative potential of makeup looks by artists I follow, as well as distracting myself with other activities-beginner watercolor enthusiast here! I’m consoling myself with the thought that most of these colors will most likely be permanent and even if they sell out now, I’ll still have a shot at owning one in a year or two when they get restocked and I’m ready to welcome them into my collection. Plus I have a brand-new self assembled Lethal palette (also influenced and informed by your deep dive ♥️) that should keep me occupied for a few months at least while I figure out powder eyeshadow. (I also went for the 12-pan: four columns for four different biomes on planet Earth-tundra, grassland, desert, and aquatic. Is it cohesive and versatile? Perhaps not. Am I proud of it? Absolutely.)
I'm also an ADHD lover of beauty, too! One thing that works for me is doing my own "Project Pan," because I love panning makeup almost as much as I love buying makeup! Maybe that would help also?
You GOT this!!!
ADHD impulsive buyer here. I'm doing better than I thought. Bought one thing, definitely not spur of the moment though. Definitely need to do a deep dive into the products I've acquired this year. Good suggestion 💜
Also, I kind of want to see this palette 😮
Oh god, also ADHD person here. I feel you, I feel you. Those impulses are so freaking hard to contol.
Sounds like a great palette.
I had coincidentally started a no-buy right before you did, and immediately I fell off the wagon. I knew it might happen because receiving something I ordered in the mail that isn’t quite right is a reliable trigger for me to then go and spend MORE. But then, instead of giving up, I just got back on the wagon, figuring “it’s about progress, not perfection.” It’s wild to me how it takes a week or so to start getting in touch with the feelings shopping was covering up. Thanks for the continued impetus! ♥️
No buy July update: I replenished my lactic acid from the ordinary along with their glycolic toner . I don’t feel bad about this because it was a replacement purchase & both items are wonderful for my skin .
Instead of scrolling mindlessly I decided to start reading to pass the time and give me some much needed escapism .
I’ve also been focusing on deep cleaning my home and reorganizing my closet which has been *so* refreshing.
The way I see it (or the way I’m trying to see it, I guess 🤣) the Lisa Eldridge lipstick launch couldn’t have come at a better time, what a great opportunity to strengthen our ability to resist buying things! If the no buy is so hard it means that we have to be or become extra good at following its rules 😁 no pain no gain!!! Love all of your no buy content ❤️
My no buy year ends in October, and yet this week I struggled a bit with shopping behaviors. I'm 9 months pregnant, baby is late, and I'm still throwing up among other things. Lately is like my brain is tired to endure and I almost bought something, breaking my no buy. But I didn't, I just willed myself not to do it, and I duped the palette I wanted to buy easily, duping also other palettes that I've been wanting to buy for a while. I also made a palette of singles and played a bit with makeup. Suddenly the intense craving vanished and I'm ready to go on with my no buy.
I find it hard not to use shopping as a coping mechanism being stuck in bed most time, but I'm doing it!
Thank you for being the catalyst for my no buy July! It is so comforting reading all the comments knowing that other people are experiencing this with me. I noticed myself impulse buying items like I never had before to cope with the existential dread that resulted from recent national events. This exercise is already really helping to reshape my coping mechanisms. I hope the rest of the month goes well for everyone, we can do it!
I found that in the last week of June, after deciding to do no buy July my spending got way worse! A lot of take out, a lot of online shopping. I kept justifying it to myself as "well I wont do it next month" and I think I definitely ended up spending more than I otherwise would have. A week in and I'm suspecting I might have a no buy summer to help relearn some better habits
You were in a panic buying mode. Been there. I put myself on a $100 a month budget (that rolls over if not used and can go up to $5 over $100) for makeup, clothes, etc. for the year and before it started I did panic buy a few things. I knew what was happening and I still did it. Next year I think I'm going to push it to $150 a month because I feel that is better for me, but this $100 a month is good for this year. I'm hoping Black Friday can be a time to buy a lot because I want to save money for that out of my budget.
I do the same exact thing everytime I decide to no buy. I end up buying so much stuff before it starts and tell myself I’m on a no buy soon. Well in reality I never go on that no buy and just buy more stuff.
I'm such a lipstick addict that I went on a no-buy for lipstick for this entire year, and Lisa is KILLING ME RIGHT NOW
Stay strong!!
@@LePezzy66 Aaah, thanks for the encouragement! You're so sweet!
I’m doing no buy July AND I premade an exception for Lisa Eldridge AND I placed an order AND i feel weird and wobbly about. Wishing us all strength and courage and thank you for the wonderful content you are my favorite xxx
I'm lucky enough(Hopefully my plane doesn't get cancelled) to go to the Lisa Eldridge pop up and go see her lipsticks and pick one, and to see her collection of vintage makeup
I am still standing strong on my no buy July and had to fend off all of the great sales lol - like you I was like "No Lisa Eldridge did not just launch the fuchsia shade of my dreams while I am in no buy July exile" lol - Resisting! Loving this shopping detox and also this checkin! ❤❣
An idea for Joe's spending of the budget that could be in the spirit of the no buy - An appointment with a personal stylist who looks at things like personal colour analysis, style essences, etc. And then you could report back on what they recommended and the systems/ theories that they used rather than being product focused.
I was all set for No-Buy July and then I saw that Lisa Eldridge was launching and I was like. No. No. It’s No-Bust August for me. I got Je Ne Sais Quoi and Meet Me In Berlin. 😍
My one-week check in!
I decided to do a July No/Low-Buy with the following rules:
* no color cosmetics except ONE lippie
* no clothing except ONE summer dress
* no shoes AT ALL (I have plenty)
* no housewares (also have everything I need. If something breaks, I will replace it)
* no driving that isn't absolutely necessary (I live in Southern California, so I'm saving my beach trips for September)
* no more trainers/gym memberships
Exceptions:
* ONE summer dress
* ONE lippie, any type
* lashes (mascara, false lashes)
* ONE wig
For my exceptions:
I've bought one Stay Golden Cosmetics glitter lipstick because it was 50% off everything. I have been wanting one for a long time, and decided to get only ONE to try them out, which is why I built it into my rules.
I've bought one summer dress for $40, so I'm done with that
I bought one purple wig which is amazing
I've bought a ballet barre so I don't have to go back to the gym anymore.
I've bought a LEGO AT-AT to entertain myself instead of going to the beach/driving around this July & August
I bought one brown Big Mood mascara to replace the one which dried out
What I have also NOT bought:
gasoline for my car (I live in SoCal). Playing with LEGOs is surprisingly entertaining and good conversation when zooming with friends
sweets: cakes, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, etc. etc.
drinks (Coffee Bean/sodas)
dinners out
My only concern is I've already bought my exceptions and now I have three weeks left. But I truly don't need anything and also, I hope checking in here for accountability will help!
Thanks for reading and helping, y'all. Love you!
Maria >^.,.^
This is a good plan! Stick with it. A month isn't that long in the scheme of a year, or life!
@@gettingoverbeingtypical Thank you so much! It’s been really hard, I’ve almost caved at least five times already!
firstly, hell yeah pink sweater with a deep v! looks great!!
thank you for this video. i've been wanting to avoid both buying and spending time making hypothetical shopping carts, looking at things to maybe buy etc. (the latter can even be more damaging bc of what a time sink it is) and i am motivated now to start this "officially" whether it lines up with the calendar or not.
I fell off the wagon so hard it hurt 😂☠️😞 I didn’t expect so much to come out during the 4th of July weekend, and the temptations came over me.
I’m not going to list what I ended up purchasing. Even though I technically “failed” at my no buy, the attempt of doing a no buy July was valuable and I’m going to start it off again starting from the day of my last purchase, and try to do a full 31 days of no buy. I got the chance to really reassess my relationship with shopping and spending, and I want to investigate more.
I believe in you! Its hard in this world, but I know you can make it❤️🥳
That 4th of July sale was so brutal :')
Doing 31 days of no-buying is a great idea!
It's going semi-okay. I did break down last night and ordered a Sydney Grace bundle which came to $31.77. I did also purchase 2 pairs of replacement jeans and 1 pair of replacement shorts. I've lost 30 pounds since the beginning of the year and they didn't fit me at all anymore. I'm trying...
So glad to see your video come up. I’ve found eight days of no- buy challenging- clearly I need it. What I hate is wishing the month gone by! Thank you for your content. Xx
LOVE this video!! “It’s not as serious as you think it is”… love it! I’m doing a no buy year since November and it’s been great. Challenging but it’s good to go through the ups and downs of the feelings. Strengthens muscles I needed to strengthen
I absolutely adore Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks, but guess what? I am on a "No buy YEAR" (which I started only two months ago). So when I saw her video with the new lipsticks, I was crying like a baby (on the inside, of course) knowing that I may never try some of these beautiful new shades.
On top of that, a wished item that I was looking after for more than 6 months is now back in stock and again, I cannot buy it.
I am really sad to know that I may never have these items (being dramatic), but at the same time I am very proud of myself that (so far) I have managed to resist buying them.
P.S. Love your makeup🧡
When Lisa Eldridge first launched her line of lipsticks, they were exactly what I'd been dreaming of. I was definitely going to buy one. But they all have an ingredient I'm allergic to, so I too will never own one 😭 (also being dramatic). So I feel your pain ☺️
Hannah! I really appreciate the authenticity of how you’re feeling because I am right there with you I’m doing a no buy July as well and I’ve faced the same challenges so it’s nice to know I’m not too alone. We got this!
I’m also doing a no buy July and Sugar Drizzle had their restock today. There was a palette and liners I had been eyeing. But hopefully there will be another restock. I was sobered yesterday when I went to use one of my favorite lipsticks and realized it was starting to go off because I had been so distracted trying new brands and lip formulas.😰. Narrowing my list of future wants to Clionadh, Touch of Glam, BK Beauty x Angie Hot and Flashy brush set, Sonia G fusion brush set, and a fresh MAC lipstick in Twig. Though I may repurchase it in a mini so I don’t have as much quantity to go bad. Glad I’m doing this no buy July. Thank you for all of your help Hannah!!🥰
I've discovered with this no buy project for the month a lot of things about myself. Whenever I'm feeling down or not sure I'm super tempted to shop around. However, I've been more intentional with what I'm looking at online for social media platforms and avoiding things that would tempt me further. To say it's only been a week, but feels much longer is an understatement. I'm enjoying it though and want to find the mental fortitude to overcome what drives me to feel the absolute need to shop.
On a fun/lighter note: I absolutely adore that pink sweater vest! So happy you picked that color and style and it fits your pinterest board so well. Wishing everyone on a no buy success, we got this! 😊
lmao havent watched the video yet but i just want to say the thumbnail is killing me! hahahahahahaaha
thank you Nina, I was inspired :)
Hannah, thank you so much for posting this video! I so need it right now. I've been a subscriber for a while and find it a little weird that my boyfriend's name is Joe, I have a cat-sized dog named Zadie, and I'm also a writer (largely fiction rather than poetry), but figure that's just cuz you're my people! I've struggled with overconsumption for some time and truly appreciate the depth and attention you give to the complexity of beauty, one's desire for beauty, and identity. Thank you for being a light offering awareness in the chaos of consumerism.
aw, this is the greatest! Thank you for sharing, Kristen!
I always did capsule wardrobes ever since I graduated college. Something I learned when I used to work as a model during high school & college.
you speak straight to my heart in this sort of videos. i'm so much struggling with the lisa eldridge's lippies aswell, but you're definitely right. the FOMO makes it even harder! thank you hannah
I got a new job at Sephora and went absolutely wild my first week w the employee discount 😵💫 so engaging in no buy July now!
Im 19 and living alone, have been since the month after I turned 18. I made a huge decision to move cities so I could be closer to my sister and in an area I actually like. I needed to do this no-buy because the expenses of moving would debilitate me if I spent money like I had it. I live very frugally, but I need to be more so now, than ever
congratulations on moving to where you want to be, that is huge! You can do it, Abby!
It's so interesting to see how other people process purchasing- I'm actually on the other side of the spectrum, where I don't get stuff unless it is *exactly* what I want, for the *exact* price that I want, and that has lent itself to a whole 'nother host of issues instead
I’m more on your side of the spectrum, but sometimes I find myself wanting to shop. Would you be willing to elaborate on those “host of issues” you mentioned? I’m genuinely interested in your perspective!
Very exited to see how its going! 😍 love the pinterest look btw🥰
The thumbnail evoked an emotion in me that was really visceral. Thank you for providing reflection and advice that urge us to spend in a way that is fiscally and mentally healthy! Sending much love
After being constantly careful, I finally caught COVID this week. I have been watching you for comfort. Thanks for making such genuine content that gives us permission to be our beautiful selves!
Get well soon, CJ. Sorry you're sick. Hugs!
My almost no-buy July, fell apart thanks to Lisa Eldridge. I had to have Night Thoughts. Had to. I own two other of her lipsticks (Blush and Painterly). They are precious to me. I had to add one more. Now, new hair video please! 🦋🦋🦋
Seeing you wearing your perfect pink knitted vest is just bliss.
Ohhh!!! The bubble gum pink is already happening!! I am so excited 💗
Having watched your fashion inspiration video, I am really happy to see you in this beautiful pink knitted v-neck oversized vest that checks all the boxes!
You describe what goes through a shopaholic’s head so accurately! When you described the running list in your head of the coffee mugs, record player organizer, etc that is what happens to me as well! And then there’s the second list of shiny new things you know you don’t need, but want such as new makeup releases. It really does become exhausting thinking of it all. I find that making a wishlist helps me to take out the rent of wanting to shop out of my head. Try writing down your wishlist kind of like journal dumping helps many clear their heads, but do it for your item wish list. This has helped me tremendously.
wow that vest looks amazing on you 🤩 pinterest dream come true!
thank you for this video I was having the same feeling I actually black out yesterday at target and realized at the checkout that I was in a no buy lol great proof that I needed to look at my habits thank you again
I'm a low-buy for the summer just because we have a big trip coming up and it is consuming every spare nickle. I spent the last two weekends camping and I feel like it was a big help to avoid the sales. I did watch your empties video from the tent using the last of my battery charge and my husband has not stopped laughing about it. Sorry, not sorry. It was worth it.
this is amazing. I will never forget the image of you watching the empties video from the tent on a battery.
@@HannahLouisePoston Neither will G (my husband...:D)
A thought provoking video on consumerism as always! I love the quote that goes something like - Advertising is like giving a thirsty man salt water.
I am living for your blush placement! Fantastic Hannah!!
So many sales in July! I definitely wasn't thinking about that when I jumped on the no-buy July. My gut tells me I will spend less money and ultimately purchases with better longevity if I sit these sales out. Jordan Samuel Skin's sale has been my biggest temptation so far.
The wish list in my notebook is going to end up a mile long at this rate, but I think letting it marinate will be very productive. And I'm glad I decided against storing it digitally. Some things don't need to be a click away.
I am so happy to have found this video when I did. I coupled this with a no TH-cam/media cleanse. So I am a bit behind in your videos.
I am 20 days into my no-buy July- and I will continue after. Maybe for a year?! That terrifies me so I feel like I should just go for it.I have found this challenge hard but extremely empowering and validating. Both to my feelings of want and of having enough. Reunited me with gratitude.
There are still things I crave! Currently- I really want another pair of pants. And have for months. Even pre no-buy. I almost panic purchased but feared I would make a wrong decision....
I am grateful (again, still) to you and the comfort and the strength your current no-buy July/July reset, your previous no buy year and your other videos (in beauty exploration and your framing) these provide me. Thank you.
I started a no-buy and have committed to half of July and all of August of no frivolous spending (with the exception of getting my brows done). I found your channel after The Financial Confessions episode and love these check in/no buy videos. Seeing others do the same and struggle with the same temptations is validating and encouraging. I too have a list of things that I will be buying after I am done but now I finally have the chance to save up for it and feel good about purchasing what I truly want instead of getting sucked into impulse buys or smaller ticket items that cross my mind (even if I end up liking them).
This blush look!! 😍
I had been thinking about doing a no buy month because a package I had ordered hadn't come in almost 3 months and that always triggers me to chain order items until it arrives to alleviate the dumb anxiety I get when packages are delayed/lost in transit. Then your video announcing your no buy came out and I decided I would join you. I manage a fashion store so I'm surrounded everyday by shopping, impulse purchases and beautiful clothing I'd love to add to my wardrobe. I set firm rules and so far I've stuck to them. In previous no buys I've quit halfway through or turned it into a low buy instead. I'm staying firm this month. I've been doing a lot of reflecting on conscious consumerism and where my money is distributed in a month. I've realised I've been using shopping and food as self soothing measures and it's helped me make better choices multiple times a day. In summary, thank you for giving me that little nudge and thanks for giving me someone to do my no buy with. I'll let you know how I've gone at the end of the month. Don't wish me luck, I don't need it!!! You taught me the choice of my success is in my hands.
Best video EVER on your channel! You spoke so much out of my soul!
I am No Buy July-ing right along with you, girl! I really needed it, so thank you for that little push. 💜💙💚
I'm on a low-buy July. I knew Lisa Eldridge would be releasing soon and budgeted for only two lipsticks. Meet Me in Berlin and Le Mepris will be my only trivial/fun makeup buy for this month ☺
My no buy July is going great! I've seen a couple of things that I want already but I've restrained myself and it feels incredible to be back in control over what I purchase. I've also been super excited to watch my collections of products (specifically body scrub) start to go down
I appreciate this video. I'm doing no-buy July and for me too it seems like everything I want is suddenly on sale, which doesn't happen as often here as in the US. It's good to hear someone say what I've been saying to myself--the benefit of the no buy is more important rn.
I needed this reminder. I got my nails done and bought a dress that I had on my wishlist that went on sale. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I bought the new lucents and I plan to do no-buy August. 😇 I am going through a transition, professionally and am burnt out, so I am trying to connect with old hobbies and passions, and I felt that these colours really inspire me.
It’s weird because when I started this no buy in June, it felt relaxing. I hadn’t realized how high stakes and exhausting shopping is for me. It’s compulsive, for sure, but it’s not really enjoyable. But, now? I feel sort of panicked, in part because I’m doing a no buy summer, and I wanted to extend it into the rest of the year, but then I just feel…panic, like I will turn into a disgusting troll if I don’t buy something quick. 😔
Thank you. My thoughts and feelings exactly.
i am doing a no buy july and august inspired by you hannah! what i’m learn so far is while i do have a love for stuff and things, the real messy rot of the problem is my relationship to money! bring on the self knowledge ☀️
💖💖💖 Also: this thumbnail is amazing! 😍
Thank you for saving many of our budgets by putting out this video. I was planning on getting things I definitely don't need. I was so tempted to break my no-buy for Amazon's prime day and a few things from Walmart that I just don't need. I just shopped my stash and I have a lot more eyeliner and sparkly eyeshadow than I thought. Looks like I'll be doing some eye looks soon!
It is the fear of missing out that gets me every time. I buy most of my stuff on the used market and many of the items are discontinued products I use and love. The lower prices also draw me in because I feel I am getting a bargain. Coming up with a 'why' for a 'no buy' is difficult because I may never find these things again and I know I will use them eventually. However, I am going to join everyone here for the next thirty days and see if I can break the treasure hunting habit!!!
Love your content and everything you stand for! You inspired me to do No Buy in July!
This is super helpful to me. I can relate 💯. I have definitely been more selective of what I’ve been buying since your first no buy July video, but I’m trying not to shame myself for the couple things I have bought, and I am proud of myself that there have been things I’ve deleted from my cart (mostly skincare) because I think and realize I already have great stuff and I don’t have to keep trying new things before finishing my current product. This concept has helped me with my impulse control
Your interview with The Financial Diet inspired me to try a no-buy again, so this came at a great time.
Hannah! I’ve been watching your no-buy series and you’ve inspired me to be more intentional about setting a goal. I’m on a makeup no-buy till October. Exceptions: I can buy replacements if I only have one (which I anticipate will only be a single brow pencil). I will be surfing through my urges to buy the Hindash Monochromance palette, the Vieve eye crayons, and let’s throw in fragrances in there too. You’ve taught me to enjoy the stuff I have so much more, so thank you!
That sweater vest! Love it 😍
I'm on a low-buy, and I knew the LE sale was going to be something I'd invest in, so I'm just going to enjoy my purchase and not feel guilty about a splurge. I love the colors, they're unique to my (tiny) collection, and her formulas (and the lipstick components themselves!) are such a pleasure to use. The only other "major" purchase I'm considering is a wool dress as a high-quality staple in my wardrobe. Thank you, Hannah, for putting so much thought into your videos, and giving so many of us some much-needed inspiration in dealing with the consumerist pleasure-seeking mindset.
I had the same thing with velvet cinnebar. Couldn't buy it straight away, had to wait till it was back in stock - months. I love it and i swear, it feela better. It feels better after having waited because now each time i use it i have the joy of it, and the joy of the reminder of my ability to wait and be fine.
I love this thumbnail! It’s super cute and creative.
you look so cute in this video! very harmonious colors. I appreciate getting to hear your thoughts as you go through this. it’s so hard sometimes!
I'm managing ok so far with the no-buy. It's actually really nice to see sale announcement after promo email after well-targeted insta ad and ignore them all completely.
No-buy going well. Very much appreciate your kicking this off.
I absolutely love this pink on you!
I had to laugh when I saw the tittle because same. I wasn’t exactly on a no buy but on a “that’s enough makeup for now” kick and when Lisa launched her new lipsticks I wasn’t going to get them just yet. And then on Thursday I had the Night Shift/24h shift from hell at the ER (my first one ever, too, it was one interesting welcome) came home, cried a little and when I woke up from my nap I went and ordered three.
I *adore* your new sleeveless pullover! It's absolutely darling!!
this title is exactly what every fiber of my being is screaming right now. and has been since the announcement.
ps. your hair is stunning.
This is the video Hannah. This is why we love you. I couldn't admire you more🏆
This video couldn’t have come at a better time! ❤️ Being in my 20s I’m finally unlearning my unhealthy spending habits. Thank you! 🙏
Managed my first week. Was tempted by a palette I had been eyeing up for a while but decided not to even bother to go in the shops that sell make up. Just that one palette calling to me. But I'm sure it will be there next month. Well done everybody. Thank you Hannah ❤️😃❤️
I am very excited to see what Joe picks, and I think that should become a routine segment. I know he was getting more involved with the channel, but this feels almost like HIS perspective on what he considers "beauty products". Anticipating this very much :) Also sadly I was on a year long no-buy that got destroyed in June for obvious reasons. But I think I am recouping well. I have operated on a 1-in-2-out policy since last year, so even when it does occur, my collection still continues to shrink.
It’s my birthday month and fall is right around the corner with all the good clothes, body care, makeup, home decor that I’ll be toooo tempted by. I did a no buy in February with success. Maybe I’ll attempt that again next year.
I’ve decided that I’m gonna do a (at least) 3 month no buy starting in January and I just want to thank you for sharing your experiences with no buys here where I could run across them, because otherwise I might have never learned about how they work. I’m super excited to plan for mine. ♥️
I love this necklace on you. Goes great with the top, too
Just have to say the light lilac color of that sweater is soo flattering on you.
GIRL. I have been in the same boat and it's only been a week. I really almost caved on day 1 to buy a swimsuit I wanted for a year at 60% off. Now that sale-mania has cooled, I thought I'd be good but then Lisa Eldridge just had to do us like this 😭 To be fair, I have done the waiting game in the past so I'm not too worried, and it will definitely help me narrow my wishlist. If you are able, I do hope you'll review her lipsticks eventually as I do love seeing your Lisa Eldridge reviews!
That high up blush really suits you!
No buy is good, my exceptions were charity stores and kids school supplies. I did not buy a second hand handbag because sold not in charity store. So that saved me money already.
So far so good for me Even though it has only been a week. Thanks to this week I have already started to relise that I've been miss prioratising my budget again, and that I've fallen back on old behaviours. My issues are diffrent but simillar my budget is surposed to remind me that I cna have and love nice things and not feel panic and shame about spending my own money on me (within reasson). This has made me see I still need to work on that.
Wow I absolutely love that you are posting a video like this. I relate 100%
we moved into our fist house last year and I'm still wanting to buy things and decorate....and we're expecting a new baby in August. Throw that together and it's a big hot mess lol thank you for making me feel less alone in the struggle
I needed this. Thank you
Your sweater is stunning. Glad you got it. And personally I need to take a step back as well. I have some financial goals I want to hit and I think if I can really reduce spending I can put my energy there. I am not going to beat myself up for what I did purchase so far but I want to refocus for sure. I did shop Lisa Eldridge's new launch but I only bought 1 colour - strawberry shock. I didn't want to be silly with my money so I swatched everything I ownout and picked a colour I have nothing like. I am honestly a bit shopped out lately so I want to really reset I can see I am not the only one.
Yes! Reworked my budget in order to cut back on my spending. I have a wishlist, but have to save and pay cash for the wanted items.
