  • April 2024 update for my Buys and Byes series! In this video I give mini reviews for the empties for April and also any purchases made during the month. I also discuss value of empties and prices for new products in relation to my "controlled buy” beauty budget for 2024 beauty purchases. #buysandbyes #byesandbuys #makeuphaul #makeupempties #makeupbudget #beautybudget
    This video was inspired by @annemurray99 here on UA-cam.

    What is a “controlled buy”? This year I have decided to continue my beauty budget. I put $75 per paycheck (26 paychecks per year) into my beauty bank and I have $1000 for makeup, $400 for eye shadow palettes, and $550 for skincare for my beginning of the year budget. I do not have a limit on the number of products I bring in, but the purchase amount does have to stay within budget.
    Haircare is replacement only and does not come out of the budget. Perfumes and beauty tools will not come out of the budget, but I will track the purchases and cost.
    Byes/Beauty Empties. I track all of my beauty empties and the past three years I have been able to use up more than $2000 (retail value) of products. I would like to reach that goal again this year.

    My curls are pretty similar to yours, I used to buy argon oil and from Trader Joe's now I just get it in a giant bottle from Amazon along with a jojoba oil, mix the 2 and use them both on hair and as a body oil as soon as I get out of the shower or if I've already towled off mix it with body butter. I prefer body care unscented so it works great for me, coconut oil was too heavy for my hair on a regular basis but it's great to add in if your a little sunburned helps heal up faster. Also I agree, oil in your hair to help give the best blowouts ever 💯

      You could also try monoï oil. A french polynesian girl told me about it in high school. I had the same troubles but coconut oil was too heavy greasy on me + headaches.
      Real monoï oil is lightweight fast absorbing and hydrating.
      Genius for dry body, hair, scalp. The scent is divine!!!
      Bonus : semi-hot monoï bath helps cool off during heat waves. It has been my go-to from may to october for 20 years 😊 .

    Spending my after work morning time with you! Ohhhh! Loving the eye look!!! Patchouli! 🤣 In the 80s, the back of Spencer's gifts smelled like incense and patchouli and it had blacklight posters 🤣 OMG Helldivers 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, girl. Proud of you for not buying the Jellypop primer! Hey puppy! Love our chats! That palette is stunningly beautiful! That blue/green duo is so pretty!!! And the purple definitely has my heart! Would love to know your thoughts on the doublewear. That foundation has been on the list for awhile! I'll always be a full coverage girly. That is such a a great idea for your body oil. I love Dr. Teals. I love their lavender spray. I use a soft T-shirt over my eyes when I sleep. I can't deal with a sleep mask. I spray my tshirt with the lavender spray. I feel like I need to try the almond body oil. You did so well with your purchases!!! I feel like after this year, I won't count body products either. I do now because I have so many old products that I need to use up before buying new.

      I HATE the smell of lavender. So you can keep that to yourself! but I will some times pull my bonnet down over my eyes if it's too bright in the morning.

      I'm the same with shaving my legs with a razor, maybe every 6-8 weeks but I do use clippers/electric shaver every few weeks to trim up my legs. I will also use the clippers on my arms too. My family is from Eastern Europe so I have more hair that I know what to do with. 😂

      This wax is so easy to use and the price isn't bad either. They sell Gigi at Ulta also if you want to look for it in store, but we know everything is more expensive at Ulta. I don't try to do my whole armpit at once, but rather do sections since I am doing it on myself. 😄

    Idk if it exists in other countries (hey from Scotland btw!) but I use something called Germolene on those under skin spots/acne (I pop a generous amount on at night before bed and the next morning it almost always has a head) & I just repeat the process every night and it turns a week long fight into a few days! It has antiseptic to keep clean and a general anaesthetic to help with the pain. It’s used here for lots of things and Is really affordable. I go through it on cuts and scrapes and stuff too!

    • @erintaylorwrites
      @erintaylorwrites  2 місяці тому +1

      I can get that on amazon but it's not a common product over here. It kind of looks like neosporin with an anesthetic added! Thanks for the tip!! I hate those painful under the skin spots. 😩

    OMG I love your shirt!! Totally not TMI, I've used an epilator on an underarm because I'm awkward with wax under my arms. Have you tried the INM Out The Door topcoat? It's my holy grail. Awe, I just want to snuggle with Jayne and his cuteness!! 🥰 Girl math 🤣 Oh, that Basic Witch palette is stunning. YES! Oil on dry hair is a total game changer. I frequently use argan or jojoba oil in my hair. Oh and I got that dummy battery and it has made all the difference. Thank you so much for that suggestion!!

      That is what I look for too. the DSMD Shop sponges wash up really well so I don't have to worry about retiring them for being dirty. So when they start to have rips and tears is when I consider them done. I have had other sponges in the past that stain and won't come clean and that makes me want to retire them sooner.
