little white truths

Well, exactly one month has passed since I kicked off my 2019 makeup no buy (see intro post here), so I thought I would check in with a quick update post.

Happily I haven't bought anything this month, and while I'm allowed to make essential purchases under my no buy 'rules' (ie, if I've run out of mascara and have no back-ups, I can buy one), I haven't run out of any essentials this month so there's nothing to report on that front. Hip hip hooray.

Do note, though, that I received a few things for Christmas - and I'll mention those now so you know what's come into my collection.

Here's what I received:

• a mini Benefit Roller Lash Mascara (I've always wanted to try that!)
• a YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick (I've always wanted to try one of those too)
• a replacement Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation (thank golly: I've been missing mine since I finished it)
• an Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder (can't wait to try it!)
• a Marc Jacobs Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Eye Primer (I'm going to need another eye primer before my spending ban lifts because the one I'm using is on the way out)
• a Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter (I want to see if anything can beat Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfectors)
