Do you usually spend that much on make up on a regular basis? I know you mentioned that you had saved up for the mac brushes so that isn't a usual purchase but is this the amount you regularly spend?

Yeah i do, i'm a total make up junkie, and do make up vids and tuts on you tube.

This is great! I love the idea of 'publicly' disclosing my daily spends. I do it for myself, but it's easier then to 'justify' the spends when it's just you. I don't think this weeks breakfast and lunch and snack buys would go too well down on here...:(Good luck with your spending diary, I may very well follow suit.

Thank you!

Sorry if I sound harsh but you spent £82.95 on makeup in two days? Perhaps you could set yourself the challenge of using the makeup and beauty products that you already have, and throw any spare money at your debts?

I don't think I even spend £82 a year on makeup and I buy maybelline/bourjois/loreal/other fairly decent makes (and no I'm not an old fuddy duddy, I'm 21 and love makeup hehe). Most of my cosmetics are bought out of Boots vouchers that I've got from doing surveys. Maybe you could do that and save up your vouchers if you feel you *must* buy the expensive cosmetics?

I don't think I've spend that much on makeup in the last FIVE years - possibly ten! Then again, I don't wear it except for special occasions... :rotfl:

Hey pink? Great no spend day! :T And congrats on passing you class! :T

Now, I have a challenge for you - remember that '£10 a week spend' challenge I suggested on the other thread (not including your buss pass)? I challenge you to include your makeup in that - if you need something, save up for it!

Think you could handle that?

haha thanks, yeah i think i'm gonna try that starting next pay day! Take the cash out and put it in envelopes with the weeks dated on them. So thats all the money i have for that week, so can either spend it or save it for something nice at the end of the month!
Then whatever is left in the bank is for paying off that evil debt!
Well thats my plan anyway!

I know i might slip up a little and indulge in a Starbucks from time to time, but as long as it's not £40 on make up that i can't afford, and only a little £2.50 once a week, i think thats allowed..for now anyway! hehe
