January 2017 No-Buy-Low-Buy Accountability

The title of this post is misleading since January was neither No- or Low-Buy. It was the magnificent month of Haulaury! ๐Ÿ˜€

Hauluary 2017 – Bath & Body

It’s the magical month known as Hauluary when I have no holds barred on shopping! ย I hauled so much in the past few weeksย that I decided to divide my haulage into 3 posts: body care, makeup and nail polish. ๐Ÿ˜› Today I’ll tackle the body care stuff:

This isn’t everything because I couldn’t fit it all in the frame. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

It didn’t help that the Bath & Body Works store near my work was closing down so they put almost the whole store on 75% off clearance. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Trash Stash: November 2016

At the beginning of every month, I think to myself, “this month I probably won’t have too many empties, I might have 2 or 3 max”. ย Then around the third week of the month, I am suddenly faced with a bag full of empties. Go figure.

Project Pan 12 Collab: The END

What an epic journey! When I first agreed to do Project Pan, I thought it was going to be FUN. Oh how wrong I was. This is the song that went through my head (sang to the tune of “The Song That Never Ends“):

It just goes on and on my friends
I agree to doing it, not knowing what it was
And I’m wearing the same makeup for 3 months because…

๐Ÿ˜† I’m teasing. I did enjoy doing Project Pan, especially doing it alongside my collab buddies! ๐Ÿ˜€

Black Friday Haul 2016

As is the tradition, every Black Friday, I try to reason with myself to not get too excited about the deals because they’re usually not THAT great,ย but then it all goes out the door once I’m actually at the mall!

Can you believe that I bought all this in the span of just one hour at the mall? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Have you ever seen those shopping spree prizes where kids get to run through Toys R Us and grab as many toys as possible within 5ย minutes? I wish they had that for Sephora. ๐Ÿ˜†
