You helped me realize that KZfaq has been the primary driver of my makeup spending for the last few years! I’m going to do a no buy for as long as I can, until I actually need something like mascara. I have all the lipstick, blush, bronzer, highlighter, liners, eyeshadow and concealer that I’ll need for probably years. I can create all the eye and blush looks I could ever need in fact!

We don’t know each other but I’m proud of you for making this effort. Companies prey on shopping addiction. Well done!!

Yes I find it easier to impulse purchase at night too.

I’m watching this right now because I’m realizing I have all the makeup I need! It’s all those new releases being shown on KZfaq! I need to stop watching them for a while :)

I am terrible at no buys. I am addicted to sales. I wanted the new Natasha Denona Zendo palette. I was attracted to the one quad for the mint green shade. I just didn’t have that shade in my collection. I still ended up making a purchase, but it was for a single mint green shade. I didn’t buy the whole palette. I also purchased from a local store, which I try to support. That is a success for me. The old me would have purchased the whole palette and called it a day.

Hi lovely.. new subscriber here. I just found you because I desperately need to stop buying 😫 it’s so out of hand it’s stopped being fun. Im really grateful for these tips and I’m going to binge your channel. 🥰🥰 thank you for being a positive, healthy influence.

I was interested in Jaclyn Cosmetics lipsticks but I don't do liquid lipstick so I was not going to buy it anyway.

Thank you for these tips!

I have unsubscribed from all the makeup KZfaqrs I was following and the email from Cult Beauty, Look Fantastic etc and deleted the apps. If I am not seeing the makeup as much I will be less tempted. I once watched a video on Hourglass thinking I didn't want anything from the brand. I then bought a luminous skin finish to use as a highlighter and a blusher so it's better not to watch the video in the first place. There are brands I have only become aware of because of KZfaq. An inventory of what I have might be a good idea. I have decluttered a huge amount of makeup - most of my High Street eyeshadow, a lot of nail varnish, lipstick and eyeliner. I used to have makeup storage in the attic and a lot of it was ruined by the heat up there in the summer. I called it the Girl Cave! The girl cave has been dismantled!

Can you do a diy face primer?
