    I love this type of video. I like how realistic and mindful you are about your spending and collection.

      Thank you! It took a few years to get to this point but I am feeling really good about where I am at with my collection and budget. Do you do anything to track your spending?

    It sounds like you do well financially and have a lack of waste, based on your purchase tracking. That is awesome! I have been trying to buy less products to spend less and use what i have.

    • @erintaylorwrites
      @erintaylorwrites  2 місяці тому

      We spend so much on beauty and so much is pushed upon us with social media! I had a huge buying problem in 2017-2019 and knew that I needed a change! Panning and tracking has really helped!! I'm glad you are working to meet your goals as well!

    Looooved hearing that you have enjoyed most of what you purchased. That makes the fact that you spent the money so much more satisfying. So much buyers remorse about things that I bought spontaneously and ended up not liking at all!!!
    Hair growth. Everyone is different but what worked for me after losing a ton of hair. Once a week, the night before I shampoo, I use the Mielle Rosemary Mint hair and scalp oil. I will part my hair and apply all over, really manipulate it in there and sleep in it. Just about every night I use my fingertips and massage my scalp. I do this while my skincare is sinking in. Also, I put collagen in my coffee every morning. I was taking folic acid and biotin but I'm not sure how effective that was.

    • @erintaylorwrites

      Thank you Andi for the recommendations. I've heard of using rosemary oil for hair growth. I'm not a morning shower person, but I guess I could do that on the weekends.
      I've been thinking about looking into collagen powders but I kept hearing that they don't do anything. 🤷‍♀️ But maybe worth a try. I also saw an article recently that said people who wash their hair more often have less fall out...but then my hair would be stripped. Who freaking knows!! LOL.

    Great video. I want to keep track of my purchase like this, but somewhere along the way I get distracted with other things and don't keep up. I don't have my own personal space but if I had my own personal beauty room, I would be like you! Its great that everything you purchased was on sale or greatly discounted (yay TJMaxx). I say with all the savings on other things, its okay to put that money on the palettes you want. And from watching your videos, you use everything, nothing goes to waste, unless it just a dud. Well I enjoyed the video.

      I do take pictures of everything that comes in, so that if I forget to put it into the tracker right away, I have the picture to refer back to. This past month I feel like a got a little carried away, but I'll see how I feel about it once I do my buys and byes video. ❤️

    I also bought that Sephora eyeliner, influenced by JB, but I really love it! I’m only using it on my upper lash line though. Tight lining is a completely different beast!

    • @erintaylorwrites
      @erintaylorwrites  2 місяці тому

      yes!! I think it is very nice for the lash lines but a huge no no on the tight line. And I don't know if I just got an old one and that is why it has dried up so quickly and pulled away from the pencil.

    Your hair looks really good! I also bought the Too Faced Chocolate Bronzer after finishing the Milk Chocolate. You might find it a bit too light. It took me 11 months of constant use to hit pan (which I did today!). I’ll be so curious to see how long it takes you. Love these types of videos. You give such good reviews! TFS …Lorie😊

    • @erintaylorwrites

      Thank you Lorie!! Oh goodness!! 11 months to hit pan?! LOL and I want to finish two high end bronzers next year. 🤡
      I was wondering if it would be too light for me, but maybe I can get through it faster if I am building it up.
      Thank you so much for your comment and for watching!! I'm not a cat person (allergic) but your kitty in your icon is very cute!! I see a lot of videos about how weird tux cats can be. 😂

      @@erintaylorwrites You’re a much faster planner than I am, so I bet you’ll do a good job finishing that bronzer. Maybe you can use the Laguna with it if it turns out to be too light.
      The kitty is Millie or “Silly Millie.” She’s very dainty & delicate, but hates to be held 😞. I have another that is a Russian Blue who is morbidly obese, “bull in a china shop,” a bully, but is my “cuddle buddy.” Completely different personalities.
      Love seeing Mr Wash and your other dogs in your videos!

    Hi Erin! I have been putting collagen powder in my coffee every morning and my hair lady had remarked that my hair has gotten much fuller. Also I only wash my hair twice a week. ♥️

    • @erintaylorwrites
      @erintaylorwrites  2 місяці тому

      I've seen that stuff at the store but wasn't sure about how effective ingestible collagen is. I also wash my hair twice a week, even though I just saw a video talking about how you get more hair fall out the less you wash. LOL. Can't win!

    • @erintaylorwrites

      It's so important to keep track of.

    I use collagen peptides with vital proteins and astaxanthin 12mg daily. My hair is fuller

    I am all for the creators codes!! I just don’t like when they shove them down my throat 😅

    • @erintaylorwrites
      @erintaylorwrites  2 місяці тому +1

      oh, absolutely!! only use it on things that you are going to buy anyway. JB just spoke to this about having links, but not saying it for everything/every time. I have a few people that I swap back and forth with using their codes and that is alright with me! I will take 15% off over full price any day!
