Soooo, these no-buy attempts are not going great. Technically, this month was a "replacement only low buy" so it's not as bad. But most of these are not replacements. Oh, well. Here we go! (in chronological order)
~ L'Oreal Lash Paradise: Not gonna lie, I bought this because of all the hype it was getting. And I was staring at a pile of deluxe sample mascaras that I didn't pick out myself but still felt compelled to use. So I bought a mascara. I actually really like it! It's volumizing without making my lashes look chunky, and it looks good on my lower lashes too. Would probably repurchase after I get through some more samples.
~ Replica Beach Walk: I've gone through two samples of this, and I love it. On me it smells like coconut and honeysuckle, so it's a great spring/summer perfume. It's been going in and out of stock at Sephora, so I snagged it while it was in stock. No Ragrets.
~ NARS vanilla travel size: I actually haven't used this yet. I've been using a Maybelline FitMe in 15 Fair, and it looks just a hair too dark, so I want to use that as much as I can while it's still summer and I'm getting outside more. I look forward to trying it out though.
~ ABH Subculture: Yep. I did it. Before all the negative reviews came out. I watched them all while waiting for my palette to come in the mail. I should have just waited to buy it from Sephora. I like all the colors, and don't find it as hard to work with as many of my youtubers do. Maybe it's because I'm not a blending master so it doesn't bother me as much if something isn't perfectly blended out. I'm really let down by Cube though (white/pink duochrome). Otherwise, I've enjoyed using it so far, especially when I mix it with my ABH Master Palette by Mario for the shimmers. I wouldn't say it's a must-have, but I'm also not going to go out of my way to return it (mostly because I lost the return shipping label, oops).
Side note: I've held strong so far through August! I went to Sephora and only bought a birthday gift for a friend and that's it! Fingers crossed I can finish strong. I already made it through Ulta 20% off and 2x points and I'm nearing the end of Sephora 4x points. My goal is to make it until the stores' birthday gifts in September.
