Melanin and Makeup | On the Hunt for New Makeup

December 24, 2017/ natoya

So after my post on setting parameters for my makeup spending, I decided to look into some companies that I was interested in and see if they had any of the colours that I was interested in.

A No-buy can be applied to other things but for my purposes it’s makeup and skin care. Anyone who’s ever done a No-Buy will tell you that it always seems that the best sales, and the most new product launches seem to happen just when you’ve purposed to not spend any money on new stuff.

The desire to spend. I can’t explain it, can’t explain why I want to spend.

Now that I’m in my thirties I have no explanation, except I like stuff.

The start of a new year is usually when we all evaluate our finances and say that we’re going to do better, that we’re going to make some changes. Sometimes the things that make the most sense are the things we avoid doing.I’ve spoken to a few of my friends and colleagues and got their advice on how they improved their finances, so I’ve complied the tips they’ve given me. Some of these you may agree with some you may not, these are things that they tried and found worked great for them.
