Ouch. November Low-Buy was much more like a Go-Buy… I mean, what was I expecting? Sephora VIB sale and Black Friday – why did they have to be together in the same month?
I also purchased some stuff from Winners and Avon.
Sephora VIB Sale Haul
Counting only makeup items, with the 20% off discount, this concerned $204.80. My savings was $51.20 though!
Black Friday Haul
Total concerned $172 but I saved $133.50! I’m actually pretty amazed by this.
Earlier in the month I went to Sally charm supply to stock up on some nail and hair care stuff:
I’d recently finished up the big bottle of cuticle remover and nail polish remover so these are replacements.
Nail buffers, pumice stuff – no makeup – so this counts as $0.
Avon stuff:
• makeup setting Spray
• Anew medical Eye lift dual Eye System
I needed to replace the setting spray because I used it up last month. and the eye cream was on a special deal for less than half price. I’ve been obsessing over my under eye area lately. Also no makeup, so $0.
Winners stuff – I found these over the course of a few visits:
• Sukin Antioxidant Eye Serum
Read above re: under eye area (it’s been really dehydrated lately). Jodi of A Brash attitude really liked this so I had to try it for myself too!
I was really psyched for the China Glaze Rebel collection and I was pleased to find these at Winners!
• Don’t mesh With Me
• Heroine Chic
• Pearl Jammin’
These were $5.99 each. I’m still on the hunt for “Dope Taupe” from that collection… need it!
• W7 The Naughty nine eye shadow palettes in Mid summer nights and Arabian nights ($6.99 each):
I was very thrilled to have found these at Marshalls! I’d first heard about these little gems from Rachael of Helpless Whilst drying and I was curious about the quality (plus, I’d been so amazed by the W7 foundation I tried as part of my $20 makeup Challenge). These are expected to be dupes for the MAC Eye shadow x 9 palettes. The store only had 1 of each palette and fortunately the safety seals were all intact and none had been tampered with! They also had the Bangkok nights palette which was all purples but I passed on it because it’d be gluttonous to purchase all three, right?
• clean sweep makeup brush Pad
Another item inspired by Rachael! That girl, she’s the worst enabler! This is a copy of the original Colour switch which sells for $25. I’ve used this a few times now and it’s pretty good. It won’t replace a proper brush cleaning but it does remove powder products better than just using a tissue.
• The brush Guard cleaning Kit
I was amazed to find this at Winners and thrilled to try it out. I’m a fan of brush Guards and use them each time I wash my brushes (see how I use them here). This kit includes a brush shampoo, a drying cloth, a washing cup, a slotted drying vase, and 4 brush Guards in various sizes. I like the illustrations on the box:
And THEN, I got this amazing polish, from none other than miss fivezero herself: MAC style matters ($6)
I’d commented on her blog post that I was thinking of purchasing this for the name alone. She’d purchased a back-up bottle of this and she provided me hers – how sweet! So we met up again – the day before the American election (I remember it so well, ahhh, it was a much more innocent time, wasn’t it?). It was so terrific to see her again – plus her Peanut (he’s a gummy candy monster) and lil’ baby Olive were in tow!
Grand total of my makeup purchases for November comes to… gulp… $414.75 I saved $184.70 though! My November budget was $196.38. I was over by $218.37. My December budget is $200, which implies I’ve already used that up entirely and then some! and this is not including what I hauled on charm Bay because I’m still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I’ll deal with that in December! how was your spending this past month?
Hey, let’s distract you with a blogmas post from last year! On day 6, I posted about Christmas Cards:
A neat story about that post. I had asked if anybody wanted the extras of the Gingerbread Zombies cards and I ended up sending them to Caryl of The Caryl edit who lives all the way in Australia! I’d like to think she put them to good use!

Sephora Rendelés: Clinique, Suratt, Sephora Collection, stb. Csak idő kérdése, mielőtt elhelyeztem egy Sephora rendet! initially I was lured onto Sepho

November 2017 No-Buy-Low-Buy AclectilityT egy ideig, mert utoljára frissítettem a vásárlási elszámoltathatóságon – az utolsó volt augusztusban, valójában! Ez volt a júniusi és júliusi kiadásokra, így azt jelenti, hogy nem beszéltem arról, hogy az augusztus októberben ment. Azok a 3 hónapos nem voltam …
