  • In this video I'm talking about what I did to successfully stay on my makeup no buy for three years - the mistakes that I avoided makes and what circumstances lead to my relationship with makeup currently. I go over conscious consumerism, minimal makeup collections and more. I've done similar videos in the past so make sure to check those out! I'm talking all things makeup collection curation, my project pan, and how my no-buy is going.

    *I've been on a serious mission to STOP buying makeup this year because I realized that there was a number of problems with the way I was buying. Please let me know in the comments if you relate to any of these things and I'd love to hear about your no-buy journey!

    I really agree with you, especially on the social media point. I used to buy way too much and I had an excessive collection. But now, as I watch a lot of panning and conscious consumerism content, I really got into using what I have and buying less. (But getting a little older and more responsible for myself has also helped a lot)

      I'm so glad to hear! That's true, I didn't mention how getting older and more mature was also probably a factor.

    the no buy queen 👑 is at it again with a fabulous new video !
    you're so right about how just being in a drugstore or around makeup generally can make us (or in this case me) inclined to buy things. I was at a grocery store yesterday with my partner and he was getting something from an isle beside the makeup and was like "do you want to go take a look?" I'm like yeah! i'll just take a quick peek, see what's new. Within 3 mins i had mascara in my hand. I did end up putting it back. The last time I went to physically look at makeup was in December and I had forgotten how influential it can be.

      Haha that’s what happens!! Still when I look in the drugstore there are so many times when I’ve almost purchased something. It’s so tempting

    a tip that keeps me from buying things (not just makeup) on sale just because they're on sale came from a black Friday shoppers TV special and they remarked that you're not actually getting a deal on the item unless it's more than 40% off. At 40% you're paying about the price of manufacturing and anything over that is actually a deal, it just makes me think about how much the products that I want to buy actually cost vs. how much they're being marked up to make a profit. This stat could be totally wrong now but it always makes me reconsider when I want to buy something on "sale".

    • @laralikesmascara
      @laralikesmascara  Před 2 lety +1

      Oh that's a great tip!! Thank you for sharing that. We get so excited about 10% off, 20% off, but it's helpful to know that unless it's 40% off it's (likely) not worth the price.

    I haven’t had a cold for over 2 years! My son currently has a cold so I’m pretty sure I’ll get it! I’m so tempted to get a new cream bronzer but I haven’t really used the Fenty bronzer stick I have so I can’t justify buying another one

    • @laralikesmascara
      @laralikesmascara  Před 2 lety +2

      aw I'm sorry to hear that :( I hope you somehow manage to avoid it! My partner (who I live with) is still healthy and I have no idea how lol
      Also, I generally don't like cream blushes so I don't expect I'll like cream bronzers - but I'm still super curious about them!

    Props to you for doing a makeup no buy as long as you have! I wish I could do one for a year but I know I would loose interest in it but like watching other peoples no makeup buys. 😊😂

    Now you're at a point where you're at the last of certain catagories, do you know what you're planning on replacing them with?
    eg, what your next foundation will be? what your next shampoo/conditioner will be?

    • @laralikesmascara

      @laralikesmascara  Před 2 lety

      Ooh maybe I could do a reel or a youtube short about that! Honestly i think it's a combination or naturally long lashes, plus knowing how to properly use a lash curler, and having a good mascara

    I think it looks good but I’m the person who purposely makes her false lashes less uniform, so like that look.
