Hello, hello! Welcome to Year 6 of the No/Low Buy Thread.
*Many thanks to all who have participated over the last few years. While I don't
post often I do read the notifications sent to my email and I cannot say it enough,
You all are truly amazing! Thank you for your dedication and support!!
For reference here's the purpose of this thread (from Thread Originator, @lnum๐
This thread is a support system for all of us who are trying to maintain a budget and keep our beauty spending limited. Post here when you have a weak moment, post here to hold yourself accountable, post here when you just need someone to talk to, post here when you have advice for all of us, and post here when you make mistakes but also make gains! Many of us post here to keep track of our monthly purchases. Anything you need to say, we are all here for each other. There's no judgement here.
Feel free to share your goals, items that tempt you, missteps (we don't believe in failures), and any successes. Above all else, encourage and support one another.
A note from lnum (2016):
Welcome to Year 3!
My motto for this thread is that I strongly believe, even on a budget, you can have the things you want that make you happy without feeling like you're limiting yourself.

I am so excited to spend another year with you all. If it wasn't for the first two years of this thread, I would never have been able to cut down my beauty spending. My goal for this year is to maintain low spending on beauty, and cut down my clothing purchases. I will be funneling that money into traveling, which is what I have done in the past and it's a great goal that truly motivates me.
I'm still so proud of everyone for making it through 2015 and 2016, limiting ourselves in the beauty product area in order to improve our lives in other areas. We all did great and here's to another year of learning and saving!

@sprocketta Oh no. Iโm so sorry your pup isnโt feeling well. Iโm glad sheโs starting to feel better. Hugs to you both!!
๐ฅ @sprocketta awwww so sorry!! ๐ Full recovery!!!
Thanks @lmaster she's doing better now. It was terrifying.
@lnum Yay!!!!! I will continue along with you!!!! Saving up for a warm vacation!!!
@ather @lnum @sprocketta I'm definitely going to be on a low/no buy for August and September,, I will fully support you all!! ๐ July will not necessarily be a low buy for me ๐
@lmaster Aww yay!!! Glad your going to join me!!
I've been watching the three of you post and it has been the most amazing thing. Congrats on sticking to it @ather!
@ShortErica Aww thank you ๐
Awwwww ๐ค๐ xoxo!!!
@KehDee Thatโs such a great outlook!!
I know the UD looks amazing @KehDee but if you wait it out,,I know it will go on sale ๐ they do still have the rouge reward but you have to be quick
@lmaster yes! that's how I got my tonnssss of UD stuff, cuz it always goes on sale for half off eventually, haha. I only paid full price for the cherry palette cuz it came w/500 extra pts. at ulta. and of course, I only tried it once, and it eventually went to half off too, lol.
Absolutely!! @treestar86 I'm going to patiently wait it out @KehDee
Time for me to officially join the club. Not entirely by choice haha. There was a major miscommunication/ actually zero communication with work that has resulted in me going to owe a lot lot lot of money (to me). So I am forced into this haha. I was kinda doing it anyways but now it's a done deal. I did place a few last orders and those will be coming soon. I have plenty of samples to last me through the year so I won't need to buy anything. Now the PMG Divine Rose 1 I may or may not cave and order we'll see how things pan out later this year. I'm not sure how its going to go right now. I am also going to try to focus on eating healthier but we'll see if financially I'll be able to do that. I wanted to save money for next years trips, none this year, but we'll see if I am able to! It's going to be an interesting and depressing journey no lie.
@Samtian, that sounds like a terrible situation, I'm sorry. Good luck!
@curlychiquita Thank you.
@KehDee Thank you! Right now my goal is to pay off my super expensive government loan as I call it lol.
