At least when it's done right (and obsessing over stuff to buy as a reward is not the right way of doing it IMHO).

Something comparatively inexpensive that helps my exfoliation last longer - I get weird face dandruff-y dead skin buildup and have to exfoliate pretty hard to get it off, so anything that means I can do that less often/more time to recover is a good idea. Anyway, I would probably never even have considered it if I hadn't seen your review, so thanks!The Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596489417768627544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-88096700921878117582017-01-02T14:18:39.783-08:002017-01-02T14:18:39.783-08:00Influenster has been pretty good to me the last ye...Influenster has been pretty good to me the last year, even though I have rarely given a glowing review to something they've sent me. I don't know if they actually read the reviews!

Normally I like to wait until there are good reviews before buying something, which means that LE products are usually not coming to me. I plan to go back to doing that.Lyn Bhbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081735635995970890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-8738505280858179652017-01-01T15:43:26.619-08:002017-01-01T15:43:26.619-08:00Sounds reasonable.

Especially if it's something small enough or useful enough that you can actually burn through it, but big enough that you can form a solid opinion. That much said, I have so much Influenster envy right now so I look forward to reading those updates.

Like you, I'm kind of winging it. I do want to keep track of my spending for the first time this year, though. I'm also focusing on using some things up, though I haven't set myself an official challenge (yet - I might). I'll be moving overseas in September so obviously I want as light a load to transport as possible!<br /><br />Good luck with your no buy and happy 2017. :)Clementine / mydarlingclementine.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867565608525797712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-27680637135433668672017-01-01T13:43:57.217-08:002017-01-01T13:43:57.217-08:00I love watching declutter videos on you tube.

It always inspires me to stop buying and get rid of stupid stuff I don't even like, but feel like I should keep!Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896185020544891694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-11373141393662467942017-01-01T11:48:09.971-08:002017-01-01T11:48:09.971-08:00I am doing an unofficial low-buy.

I have too much stuff to use up (mostly skin-care related samples and deluxe samples) and I want to just spend less on skin-care and makeup this year. It will be a bit hard in the first part of this year as all the new drugstore stuff comes out and I love trying new things, but waiting through all the hype is always a good decision, IMO. <br /><br />Also, I love the satisfaction that comes with finishing something, so I will focus my energy on that and in really using the makeup that I do have. I want 2017 to be the year I put a lot more into savings and the year I really analyze my shopping habits to try to make better choices for myself. So we will see how it goes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098985719924667868noreply@blogger.com
