12 Purchases for 2012

Hey dolls!
This year I'm challenging myself to purchase only 12 makeup items and 12 nail polishes in 2012.

If you buy a foundation because you've finished a foundation then no but if you buy a new foundation to try out when you haven't finished the existing then yes it counts towards the 12

amazing idea

Wow, you are brave! :D Here is a thought, if you have a blog sale of your unused make up, it would be fair to use that money to buy things you really want to try this year and not count it towards your "12 purchases for the year". Totally fair. Coz that would be honest to God, RECYCLING! :) Good luck!

Crap I should have watched this earlier, would have been good for me to embark on this. Maybe I'll try to only buy one thing from Feb onwards since Jan is a write-off. I'll have to seriously think about it...makes me nervous jajajaja

i dont like this... now no more hauls..no more new finds... i dont think this is a good idea as a youtube beauty guru

Good idea! I've always known that I have waaaaay too much. My prob is out of sight, out of mind but I like a neat counter. Now I'm reversing that - I have one cleanser, toner, eyeshadow palette, lipstick (one each of pink, red and neutral), blush…and left them on the counter. Started in December and have thrown 4 containers already. The only thing I didn't finish but threw anyway was an Estee Lauder palette that didn't work with my skintone but kept because it was expensive.

good luck but i could never do this, In america now from the uk, I can't stop buying stuff since ive been here.

If u are replacing an item u already own but ran out of u shouldn't count it towards ur 12 items. But if its something new or s collection then that's diff. Example if u use Mac pro longwear and run out and makeup forever comes out with a new type of foundation that u didn't own before that should go towards ur 12 items :)

I totally agree with you - foundation because your current one is empty is a staple, not a luxury buy :)
