April 2016 Low-Buy Accountability


I had anticipated April would have been a crazy month of haulage due to the Sephora VIB sale but that didn’t turn out to be the case.  I had $252.74 in my April budget to start off with.

In the Sephora sale, I bought only 4 items, and I ended up returning one of them:

My original total was $83.30 but after returning the busted BITE charm Agave Lip Mask, I only ended up spending only $52.70 at the VIB sale.

MAC strikes again this month with an purchase for the online exclusive lipstick, finally totally free ($21):

And this week, I wrote about a new to me brand called Teeez Cosmetics, and I purchased 4 items to try:

My total concerned $89 and I had Bay rewards points so I only paid $9.

From the drugstore, I picked up:

• L’Oreal color Riche Mono eye shadow in 207 pain au Chocolat $5.10
• Rimmel long lasting finish nude by Kate lipstick in #43, for $3.99

• Revlon volume + length Magnified mascara $7.99
• Revlon supreme All-In-One mascara $7.99
• CoverGirl The very Sizer mascara $5.99

• L’Oreal Sublime gentle Micellar Solution
• Clarins UV plus Day screen High protection Tint SPF 40
• Rusk Wired flexible styling Creme (this wasn’t from the drugstore but from a sidewalk sale at trade Secrets, it was on sale for only $5, and it typically retails for $22)

Skincare trade-ins: there were 2 skincare swap events in April that I participated in as I discussed in my trash stash post. I brought in nearly empty containers and received 50% off these:
• Consonant Skincare Ultra Moisturizing organic face Cream. I also picked up a travel size of their ideal Sunscreen which I’m planning to bring on my trip.
• Pure + easy Lactic Acid plus 10%

My sister gave me this set of OPI minis from a major league Baseball (MLB) inspired collection called fashion Plate.

The set includes:
• Umpires come out At Night
• girls love Diamonds
• 7th Inning Strrretch
• Short-Stop!
• Orange You going to The Game?
• Love athletes In Cleats
Cute, heh? takk for dette!

I went a bit crazy at Dollarama (L to R):

• wet n Wild nail polish $1.50 (this is made in Luxembourg as noted by fivezero!)
• Sephora by OPI: in QVC What I Mean?, shiny Dancer, Queen of Everything, and already well-known $3 each
I just can’t say no to nail polish!  Especially discounted ones.

And I snagged this Bonne Bell kit which includes a liquid lipstick in Mai Tai, a nail polish in essential West,  and an eye shadow palette in Prom Queen for only $3! I have another Bonne Bell nail polish and I have to say, the quality is quite good.

Plus, in April I was the lucky recipient of not one, but two giveaways!
From MyStyeleInsideOut:

• BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette
• Milani color statement #33 rose Amour
• wet n Wild large Eyeshadow Brush

From Sandie’s Stash:

• NYX highlight & Contour pro Palette
(…and I received another epic prize in the mail this week! I’ll be posting about it tomorrow! )

My makeup spend for April was $130.26. (To clarify: I don’t count skincare, hair & body care or makeup tools – only actual makeup including nail polishes are counted – any time you see me list the price of a product, it implies it’s being tallied)

That implies I have $122.48 to be carried over – I was amazed I didn’t review my budget!  I will have $172.48 for makeup spending in May.  How was April for you in terms of makeup spending?

Sephora Vib salg Fall 2016 Hauland Her er regningen. Truth Time: Jeg plasserte 3 ordrer på nettet og laget 1 i butikk kjøp. : D Jeg requalified for vib rouge for neste år igjen! Men ikke på grunn av mine egne kjøp, men mine venner samlet sine kjøp med meg (jeg vil si at sammenbruddet var 30% meg, 70% dem).

Sephora VIB Sale April 2016 HaulCalling this a “haul” is kind of a stretch, but humour me. I only purchased 4 items! My total concerned $83.30 which is pretty low considering all of the anticipation for the VIB sale! I got: Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard (reg $36, sale price $30.60) BITE Beauty…

Sephora Order: Clinique, Surratt, Sephora Collection, etc., etc. var bare et spørsmål om tid før jeg plasserte en Sephora-bestilling! I utgangspunktet ble jeg lokket på Sephora for den siste dagen i dobbeltpoengene på hudpleie – jeg ønsket å få Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray. Men så noen andre nagging biter fra min lemmings liste …
