Hey there. Thanks for visiting my blog! 🙂
I’m not sure how to break this you but… this blog is no longer being updated as of March 2018.
I still intend to have an online presence but I haven’t landed at what level that will be. But you’ll definitely see me around on your blogs! 😉
Here are my social media if you haven’t connected with me yet:
You can also reach me by email: stashmatters @ gmail . com
It’s been a blast, THANK YOU! 😍
I started this blog in 2015 to chronicle yearlong No-Buy, which I completed successfully. In 2016, I opted for a Low-Buy, with mixed results. 😳 In 2017, I did a No-Buy-Low-Buy Hybrid, again with mixed results! Having this blog definitely helped to curb my shopping urges in many ways: it kept me preoccupied, got me digging into my makeup stash for reviews / comparison (and being confronted with the enormity of my stash 😮 ), and fostered support from fellow makeup addicts! 😀
If you want to dig through some of my posts, it might be helpful to start backwards with the last post I made, which showcases My Blogging Highlights. These summary posts will also give you a good overview:
Check out these early posts to learn more about me:
I’ve done a bunch of stash collection posts, here’s a compilation:
- Nail polishes
- Eye shadows
- Blushes
- Lip stuff
- Base products
- Brushes
- Sheet masks
- Blotting papers
- Samples
- BBW Wallflowers & Foaming hand soaps
I’m a Canadian blogger, so prices I quote will be in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. And no, I do not say aboot. 😛
Thanks for making my wedding bracelets with Swarovski beads. They look awesome! Can’t wait to wear them on the big day in 2 weeks!
