March 2017 No-Buy-Low-Buy Accountability

March was another No-Buy month! You’re expecting a blank post, right? Nei:

Jeg kan forklare!

Let’s start with the mascara:

I picked up the wet n Wild Lash Renegade mascara (slightly influenced by Kaily!) which I had no idea was available here in Canada. It looks like Rexall has revamped their wet n Wild assortment and they now carry the MegaGlo Contouring palette and photo focus setting Spray, among other things (yeah, we’re only like, 2 years late).  I got this for 25% off which was a steal considering that wet n Wild is quite inexpensive to begin with, so this pertained to around C$4.  This is a replacement for the mascaras I’ve been using up! (I’ve used up 3 full-sized mascaras and 3 samples considering that January. )

There was a promotion at bath & Body works that if you spend $15, you can get a complimentary item worth $15. My coworker was picking up Wallflower oil refills and with her complimentary item, she got me this:

• Tutti Dolci sweet Lemon Buttercup lip balm
It’s not the most moisturizing balm (quite similar in texture to the EOS balms) but it smells like lemon cupcakes!

I had heard about the Coconut version of the MAC Fix+ from Ingrid ages ago. I was miffed that I didn’t get my hands on it. but then, the work It Out collection released, featuring travel sized Fix+ in various scents:

What am I meant to do?!  I got the Coconut and rose versions.  I used a gift card toward them.

Look at the pretty holographic box!
You’re probably asking me why I was even tempting fate by being at a MAC store? I was there to help a friend choose colours for a refill eye shadow quad considering that she had to toss her makeup due to an eye infection.   I know I had said in my No-Buy months I wouldn’t use gift cards… but I’m weak, ok?  These are limited Edition! and they were sold out by the end of March so I would have missed them! (Also, the MAC 25% off sale was soooo tempting! I had to stay off their web site during that time but I managed to not get anything.)

Lastly, another one of my friends went to Japan and asked if I wanted anything so I requested these 2 items:

• Daiso 2 way Moisturizing Silicone Mask Cover
• Visee glossy rich Eyes quad in PK3 burgundy Red
I had heard that the Daiso Silicone Mask Cover (which was on my recent favourites list) now comes with in a 2-piece style, so I just had to try it out. and remember one of my regrets from my Japan haul was that Visee palette? nå har jeg det:

Se på dette! So girly and such attention to detail.
For these 2 items, money didn’t exchange hands considering that I had gotten some things for my friend when I went to Japan last year and she’s reciprocating. Is this a cheat?

So that’s my March “No-Buy”… I’m not counting anything toward my tally!

And considering that I started the Temptations section in my February accountability post, I figured I’ll continue providing items that tempted me last month:

Sephora Triple action Cleansing Water

I saw this in faded Rouge’s appeal favourites post and it reminded me that I’ve been curious to try this product.
Why I don’t need this ideal now: I stocked up on 5 bottles of the Yves Rocher Micellar Water recently so I’m set for a while. By the way, I did email Yves Rocher to inquire if it was indeed discontinued and they confirmed it:

We regret to inform you that 87376 – Micellar Cleansing Water 3 Detoxifying Teas has been discontinued. However, because this item is still in stock at our warehouse, we are able to offer you this product until the stock is depleted.

Aveda Envirometal essentials Compact

This is no one’s fault but my own. After I had posted about customizable palettes, I caught wind that Aveda uses a few empty metal palettes to house their refill pans (eye shadow, face products). They offer several sizes, but this particular one is neat because it can also hold a lip product in the “hinge” part of the compact!
Why I don’t need this ideal now: The empty compact itself is quite pricey at $30. I haven’t heard much about the performance of Aveda makeup so I’m not sure I’d want to commit to their system. (Have any of you tried Aveda makeup? Please let me know in the comments.) At the very least I’d have to get their lipstick to fit into the slot – I think I could possibly use any refill pan in the main compartment if they fit. Also, I’m eyeing other custom palette options too – I really want to get the makeup Geek one.

AOA wonder Blender

I had no idea these sponges existed until Asian appeal obsessed told me about them in a comment in my February trash stash post. They’re meant to be a good dupe for the appeal Blender for only $1 USD.  She also introduced me to the online store Miss A, which touts itself as “the first and only $1 online appeal shop”. After some research, it appears the site uses some respectable products especially their tools like the sponges and brushes.
Why I don’t need this ideal now: As tempting as a $1 sponge may be, you aND Jeg vet at jeg ikke kommer til å få bare ett element i butikken. Det er ingen gratis frakt til Canada – det koster $ 5,95 USD for bestillinger under $ 40, så jeg må “få pengene mine verdt”. Ingen frykt, jeg skal plassere en kjøp snart!

Ilnp magikeren neglelakk

Enhver neglelakkavhengig av deres salt vet om den beryktede “Unicorn Pee” AKA Clarins # 230. Tilsynelatende er det et spesielt pigment som ble brukt til det polske som ikke lenger er produsert. Mange selskaper har forsøkt å dupe det. Jeg hørte først om ILNP-versjonen fra å være glad og få polsk blogg. Bare nyt trollmannen Polish i aksjon i denne videoen [Drool]
Hvorfor jeg ikke trenger dette idealet nå: Det er begrenset utgave og salg raskt – jeg er så splittet om å få det – det er bare tilgjengelig på ILNP-nettstedet nå, men jeg må betale frakt (gratis frakt hvis jeg bruker $ 100 skjønt !) Jeg vet at jeg vil ha dette mye mer for elusivenesselementet enn for selve fargen.

Det vanlige hudpleie

Overalt vendte jeg, jeg holdt høre om dette hudpleiemerket! Her er bare en prøvetaking på min lesefôr i måneden mars: Mrs Dimples Beauty, H Wong, Appell og Ballsal, Hoi Yin Li, Cat Flicks & Matte Lips, Hjelpeløs Mens Tørking, Fivezero, etc. etc. Alle og deres bestemor er får den vanlige feilen. Mine ønskelisteposter inkluderer: Niacinamid 10% + sink 1%, vitamin C Suspension 23% + ha kuler 2%, salisylsyre 2% oppløsning og AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling løsning.
Hvorfor jeg ikke trenger dette idealet nå: Jeg er i markedet for et vitamin C-serum, men jeg skal bruke litt mer av mine andre behandlinger først (nemlig Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid og Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II). Det er en desiembutikk som åpner i nærheten av meg om et par måneder, så jeg skal vente til den åpner for å hente derfra.

April er en lav-buy måned, mitt budsjett er $ 200 for sephora vib salg … men jeg har ikke mye på min ønskeliste ennå. Noe er galt med meg!

Jeg vil gjerne ta et øyeblikk for å ønske min søster en glad bursdag i dag! Håper du har en fantasifull dag!
