2010 No/ Low-Buy! From Feb 23, 2010
*Updated May 19* - 1 Offenses to date
- I will not purchase the following products for the remainder of 2010 (Dec. 31,2010). Does not include items received as gifts, through swaps, or through B2M
-(*)indicates an exception.
-For replacement products, only allowed to purchase the replacement after I have finished the current product, ratio of 1 to 1. (No purchasing 3 new conditioners for the 1 I just finished!)
-In some cases, I have allowed a certain number to be purchased, but no more than that number. e.g. "3 of my choice" means I'm allowed to purchase 3 individual items of this product, but no more than 3 from now until year's end.
-This may not seem that strict, but keep in mind this is to last until the end of 2010, and it's only the end of Feb. hehe. We can do it! Let's go!
(I will do my best!!! Not to edit to add products, only edit when I have used up one of my allowed purchases.)

And if I have some extra purchases left over by the end of the year (not likely, haha!) I'll just use them all then :D
I'm not attempting a full out no-buy because I definitely don't trust myself. But I'm being a little bit more selective in my choices. Do I really *need* another turquoise eye shadow? After looking at the 3 or 4 I already have, I'm guessing no.

I don't mind if you use this format at all! We should all keep each other apprised of our progress! :D Good luck!
