No/Low Buy

I've decided to put myself on a Low Buy. I've been thinking about my savings goal for the move, and it's not going to happen if I don't start saving 200 dollars a paycheck. I haven't been doing that lately because of all of the bills I have and then my "fun" spending. Since I've cut back on eating out, the next is makeup. I've been pretty good lately, but with some of the summer collections dropping I will need to hold myself accountable. This Low Buy will apply until I save up 2,000 dollars at least. I'm hovering around 800 at the moment.

NOT ALLOWED: 
-eye shadow
-lip gloss
-eye liner (unless current liquid or pencil runs out; just no new ones to experiment with)
-candles
-shoes
-body wash (until I run out of EVERY one I have stock piled)

ALLOWED:
-lipstick (but only 2 from any given collection; I'm looking at you MAC)
-nail polish (but only 3 total for the whole summer; top coat not included)
- 1 blush
-refills of any skincare, makeup, etc. that runs out
- 1 pair of black jeans, if I find any that suit me
- no clothing item, besides jeans, that exceeds 50 dollars (I just bought a 100 dollar white blazer and cannot afford another investment like that anytime soon)

Most of these things I really don't think I'll have a problem with. For example, I'm not a huge fan of lip gloss. But, with all of these limited edition summer collections coming up, I can get tempted. Basically, I need to stay out of Ulta and Sephora. Better safe than sorry.

Why a blog you ask?

With summer fast approaching, along with my 23rd birthday (does no one really like you when you're 23?), I decided to document what's going on in my life. Right now my life includes a borderline unhealthy makeup and nail polish addiction, a beginning of a healthy lifestyle that includes weight lifting, and saving up to move across the country with my best friend. Since my life appears to be a cross roads, I thought I'd document it. And as a blogger, youtube, pinterest, tumblr, etc. addict, what better place to do that then on the internet?

Expect this blog to be filled with makeup/skincare swatches & reviews, concert footage, discussion about the shows I'm catching up on via Netflix, a sporadic delicious recipe, a timeline of my move, and even the occasional rant about monotonous daily life. Enjoy!
