- FIRST, I want to apologize for the sound quality in this video. I had an issue while filming but it will be fixed in the next upload!
Hello everyone - last time we chatted about my beauty spending I had a super awesome full-proof plan for 2024. Well, I completely changed that plan. I also have a beauty fail (and a beauty success) to share with you.

When it comes to reducing impulse purchases, I’ve found it to be really helpful to change up the beauty content I consume. Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of panning content and it’s got me so motivated to use the makeup I already have as opposed to constantly chasing that new shiny product to satiate my makeup joy. I’ve also started phasing out some creators that I find casually discuss consumption as I was starting to notice that that type of casuality surrounding the topic made me more susceptible to reckless consumption. F.e. when a creator talks about new releases or something and mention that they’re going to pick up a number of products and every day they’re reviewing a new palette or foundation or whatever, it’s made me almost give myself “permission” to purchase at a similar rate. It’s not their fault of course and I’m not out here trying to claim that “thing bad”. Buying and reviewing products has become a part of their job so of course they’re talking about new products and what they’ll be trying out so their viewers can know what to excpect from them. It’s moreso a me problem and I had to make the conscious effort to distance myself from these types of creators to uphold a healthy relationship with beauty and consumption.
I started to notice this myself recently, that some of the creators I follow(ed) who speak more to always reviewing the new new stuff I felt less connected to and less interested in, and I gravitated much more towards the folks who I know speak to being really conscious of their relationship with makeup and what they choose to bring into their collection. I totally agree varying up what you surround yourself with really helps right the ship if things have gotten off-course.
Truly we are in the same boat, and revisiting my wishlist often has really helped me hone in on what is STAYING on my wishlist.
I like how you stated “relationship with makeup”. That’s what I like to think and talk about, too! No wonder I like your channel 😉
This comment made my day! I'm trying to be aware enough of my habits that I am always evaluating and evolving my relationship with makeup so it's healthy for me!
I'm glad you updated on that ripple palette. I knew i just wanted it for the packaging, but the reassurance that it's not great makes me glad I didn't buy it.
I am so glad I can help other people pass on it and save the money!
It was on my wishlist as well. I just gave myself time to wait and this review came. Very glad I saved my money.
I restarted my eyeshadow no-buy/low-buy this month, so this is good timing.
My rules are: I can only buy retiring single shadows that are already on my wishlist.
Oh I like that rule - seems like a very pointed way to keep your habits in check!
Besides my everyday base makeup and neutral lipsticks for work, I have taken a break from makeup altogether. Up until this month, I hadn’t bought any eyeshadow this year and instead focused on decluttering my collection until I felt like it was at a place where I wanted to use it. I think when I have too many options, it clouds my judgement on what I actually like and I definitely needed a reset. During the past few months I was creating a wishlist for myself and when I got all the money I made from selling decluttered palettes, I used that to purchase palettes that I had been wanting for a bit. I ended up getting the Betty Boop and Garfield palettes from Glamlite (cuz I had gotten rid of some V-day and neutral palettes) and I also got the Titanium Foxes bundle. I haven’t had time to play with any of them but I will soon and I am feeling inspired again to get back to getting more experimental and editorial.
The feeling of overwhelm from having too many options is REAL. I have felt that way myself too and it's led to days of paralysis instead of creativity. Decluttering helps and having a focal palette for the week also helps!
@@Betterthanbasicivy I’m gnna try a palette a week! Maybe 2, it’s really hard for me to stick to one palette 😅😝
Ivy, thank you so much for sharing your shopping struggles and beauty-spending journey with us! A lot of what you talk about is SO relatable. Having the discipline to force yourself on a No-Buy when you see yourself being consumed by the dopamine rush is no small feat. Wishlisting is a great strategy to use as you're right -- that excitement inevitably fades for most of the items we think we want. I'm excited to see how your No Buy goes. We are here cheering you on! 💕
Love you Cecily! Thanks so much for watching and I always love all your videos!
Thank you so much for this update! What I have just started realizing is that I’m such a sucker for a sale. Problem is sales are going on nonstop. I think what I might do, and this is a work in progress, is to give myself permission to purchase things at full price. Better to purchase a few things per year at full price than to try to catch every sale and use that as an excuse to buy things I don’t need! Also, my makeup collection really is complete, so the only purchases I need to be making are restocks when I run out of something. Except eyeshadow palettes, which I consider my art collection. But I need to limit those also-to pieces that are truly special.
I love the idea of using "am I willing to pay full-price for something" as a barometer to help decide if you really do want it!
@@Betterthanbasicivy yes! Another thing that’s helping me is to be realistic about how long it takes to use up a product. Most makeup and skin care products really do last a long time, even if you use them every day! Surprise
I appreciate this because I intended to do a no buy (year?!) and I have failed terribly. This has got me motivated and I start it again.
I'm so glad to hear if this helps in any way! Sometimes I find returning to older conscious consumerism videos from creators I follow to also be super helpful if I feel like I start to lose my grip.
Every accomplishment is worthy of acknowledgement! Congratulations for remaining strong even when things got tough lately. Hearing you talk openly about your shopping struggles and how you're learning and growing is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing it all!
And thank you for the review of that water palette. It looked so pretty that it was tempting me. And now that I've heard it's pretty much just pretty packaging, you've saved me from myself. ;-)
😍 thank you Stephanie! And I’m so glad if I can save anyone some money by passing on the ripple palette (even if the packaging is cute!)
Hi Ivy, I haven’t bought a lot of makeup since the start of the year but damn did I purchase a lot of other things. This month has been a bit tough for me and dang did I go wild buying art supplies!
I’m trying to get a grip on my spending and also my impulses.
Thank you for the video, very relatable!
I definitely feel that pull sometimes when I decrease spending in one category that it picks up in another area. But been working hard to be aware when that happens!
The joocyee palette has been living it's best life in my work bag! I love it so so much 🤭🩶
Too good honestly!
@@Betterthanbasicivyindeed! I had actually initially been intrigued by their single eyeshadows. Something inside me said don't do it, you own wayyy too many singles already (& rarely reach for single potted shades). When I saw the grey palette it was exactly what I had already been on the hunt for as a work palette so it worked out. Now that I've tried their formula, there's always that nagging voice in the back of my head about picking up more. Especially since their packaging is so cute! 😅
I’ve been doing a no-buy/low-buy for a couple of years now and it gets easier and easier! I think being a busy parent helps rein me in because in all honesty, where tf am I going? 😂 I already have enough makeup for this lifetime that I should treasure and beat up. My car is 14 years old so I feel like I need to get my “mileage” out of my makeup too 😉 That being said, I do have some favorite brands such as Phytosurgence and Lisa Eldridge so they are my exception to the rule and I’m happy with that.
I like the idea of looking at makeup the same way we look at other items we use till they die like our cars lol! Also very relatable that with young kids makeup is also kinda on the side mostly. I wear makeup during the week while he is at school but weekends are usually makeup free while I run around in the dirt with him!
I'm on a sort of accidental no-buy since the start of this year, mostly because either nothing has caught my eye (or sustained my attention for long enough) or things are too expensive or difficult to buy. I'm pretty sure my last purchase was in December and I do wonder if I've sort of reached a "saturation point" with my collection where it contains enough variety to scratch most itches. It definitely feels like it's either at that point or close to that with around 10 eyeshadow palettes and a few dozen singles. I'm curious to see if this feeling holds out and if it becomes an almost-no-buy year 🤔
I totally feel you on the saturation point as honestly that was how I started to feel myself (actually oversaturated!). Hard to believe how much you can have and still find yourself wanting more, but I’ve found every time it’s kind of a mirage. I love being a part of the makeup community! It’s just now I’m trying to figure out my place if it’s not buying the new thing which I don’t want to keep doing.
@@Betterthanbasicivy totally! The community is easily one of the best parts of enjoying makeup, it's great to be able to express some opinion that's so niche and specific and have people know exactly what you mean and have their own strong opinions on it too 🥹
I made a cbeautymall order and was eyeing that palette for the packaging! Glad I skipped it. Also I’m struggling hard with purchasing this year, so perfect timing with this video. I spent too much last year so wanted to rein it in but it’s been harder than I thought!
Some days are easier than others, but I keep coming back to “you set this rule for yourself for a reason” and every time it really helps my resolve. But I’m so glad if this is helpful in any way, especially when it comes to just feeling less alone in your struggles!
I have no nobuy muscle. Oh dear. 😢
I promise it's there if you want it to be, but maybe just needs to be exercised!
Mine is still itty bitty!
@faceforeword I've gotten two palettes I really don't care for this year after I was supposedly on a nobuy. Might go the singles route as many times I'm only in it for 4 or 5 shades.
Going on an immediate no buy can be frustrating but I’m glad it’s going well
I feel like the first time I did it, I cared but I wasn’t as motivated as I feel right now. Trying to ride the motivation wave as far as I can!
