It's a struggle! But I'm trying to be focused on some long term goals I have so I can't be buying and splurging forever... especially when I really don't need any more makeup lol!
GOod tips Anneri. It's time for me to stop splurging too. Or get a second job. ;-)What I found what really helped me with my low-buy last year was planning ahead. I would look at all the new collections coming out and thought about getting just the stand-outs from those. That helped a lot.
It also helped not getting 'small' things like drugstore nailpolish, or other inexpensive items when I went shopping for other things and would just 'have a look'. Basically, I planned a lot of my spending. The only exception was skincare, and I'm kind of ok with that - although I have skincare favourites that I buy again and again, if I see a stellar review from a site/blog I trust, I'll likely go for it. I do a lot of research beforehand, though, to minimise any risks like my skin reacting to it.
Even with nailpolish, my not so secret vice, I got better - because I basically got bored. I've got a lot, and brands do come out rarely with something really unique.
