Beauty Spending Ban

As you may have guessed from the title I am going on a self inflicted beauty spending ban! I have to say my mum probably had a bit of input by her constantly saying "Don't buy anymore make up, you don't need it!" but i still went out and bought more every time! (sorry mum!). My ban is going to be for 6 months because I'm pretty sure I won't last an entire year, baby steps..
My aim of the mini ban is to use up a lot of the products I already have and also save up some money for a potential trip to America where it will be blown in Target and Sephora, which surprisingly mum has agreed to (haha). I have given myself a little leeway by only purchasing things I desperately need like foundation and other everyday products but only when they run out!
By writing this out on my blog it means I have it in writing, I can revisit it and make sure that I'm sticking to it! Sorry this post is ridiculously short but I wanted to write this up, how about a mini update..

My braces are feeling fine now but one tooth really hurts! I have progressed from soup to skips, actual food hah! Today I had to do my sports nutrition assignment which was a presentation on an athletes 2 week diet plan. I chose Tom Daley and I got a distinction (equivalent to an A!) which I was super pleased with! It is mine and Matts almost year and a half anniversary tomorrow aka 1 year and 5 months so we are going out to dinner at TGIs which is quickly becoming my new favourite restaurant. On an adoption note, my parents have their preparation classes next week. Finally the process is back up and moving!

Hope you all had/have a lovely day!

    Target is great for cheap cosmetics, and when you see the price of how cheap Nail Inc is in Sophora you'll question how they can get away with charging so much for it in the uk!
