Beauty No Buy: An Update

My beauty no buy has, for the most part been a success. Well, no. It was a failure because I bought a few things…but then again, I only bought 6 new things (and picked up a bunch of samples which technically doesn’t count, but still defeats the purpose of not adding to what I have)…so I’m going to call it a selective beauty buying restriction, and see how that works out for me. I have another month to go, and I'm thinking about extending it until the end of March…but I am optimistic. For now anyway.

I’ve been keeping a list of things that I want, and I have abandoned shopping carts all over the web, but so far, I’ve managed to resist the urges to do any major hauling. I was visiting California last week, which is why I got what I got…I dare you to go to Los Angeles and not buy anything. And I was tempted to get more than I did, but I managed to be good.

Here’s what I picked up:

Dior spring 2012 scented polishes

Dior Exquis and Merveille

And the samples I’m most excited about…I’m still trying out foundations, but my favorite so far is my DiorSkin Nude. Not too long ago Dior released a new foundation that I was curious about and passed on during the Sephora sales because I wasn't sure about the colors, so I picked up samples in 2 different shades. I haven’t used them yet.

I don’t think I did so bad though. I only bought the perfume because I forgot to pack any, and the nail polishes…well I got the last ones of Merveille and Exquis and then, who could pass up scented nail polish?

That’s all for now. Talk to you in the next one!
