little white truths

Well, I kicked off this morning with the reinstatement of my 2018 makeup no buy for three months (see that post here), after which I'll allow myself to buy a couple of festive releases if anything takes my fancy before looking at doing a makeup low buy for 2019.

As for my skincare no buy (which I was on for six months before June 2018), I've decided to switch to a low buy because I have enough things that I'll run out of soon enough so it makes more sense for me to limit spending in this area, rather than stop it altogether.

Here are my low buy plans and boundaries:

I haven't done a low buy before so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Presumably it's easier to do one of these than it is to do no buys, but you never know. Sometimes leaving the door open a little can lead to the whole 'give me an inch and I'll take a mile' situation. Fingers crossed that's not the case.

I also wanted to note briefly that I've been having huge problems with my photo-editing program. That is, ever since the last automatic update (don't you love 'em ; )), the screen goes black 95% of the time when I select a photo to edit, then the whole program shuts down. This means it's almost impossible to get an entire set of photos edited. Argh! So while that's going on, I'm working with posts like this one that don't require any photo editing. That's not going to keep me going for long though...

Fingers crossed for me that the photo drama sorts itself out soon, and that the low buy is even easier than the no buy was. 

That's all from me. Hope all's well with you, and speak soon x
