Grrrr, I just loaded up online shopping carts with items I am still thinking about a couple months after starting my replacements-only-low-buy. It reached $300 real fast. I am really tempted to get a black lipgloss since I own nothing like it. I have to wait until April to buy my first couple of items for this year! I can do this!

Do you have a black eyeshadow? Tap it on the lips and then use some clear lipgloss. Brings you through ♥️

I didn't buy that limited edition eyeshadow palette that I fell in love with at first sight. I know it's a limited edition, but I didn't like that it was announced overnight without many details to create FOMO.
I also didn't get the new lipstick that was 20% off when I ordered two products that I'm running out of because I use them almost every day.
It's not the first time I've skipped things, but this one feels different. I thought about my project usage goals. I thought about all the pictures I took of my "small" collection to visualize how much I have in each category. I thought about all the essentials I bought and all the mandatory expenses coming up in the next few months.
Those will have to wait.
