July Beauty Ban


If you follow Sophia of Tattooed Tealady you will know that she is partaking in a spending ban for 100 days!  100 whole days!!!  The girl, in my opinion needs a medal!



I’ve been inspired by her and have made the decision NOT to buy anything beauty related throughout the month of July.

My aim is to get some of my current products used up and also save some money.  I keep attempting to put some money away for a holiday later in the year and it’s not going great so I hereby vow not to buy anything beauty related unless absolutely essential (deodorant, cotton pads, toothpaste etc) for one whole month!!

I will try and curb my spending of clothes too considering I really don’t need any.  My dressing room is literally over flowing and I am running out of space at a silly rate...  however it is my birthday at the end of the month so I can’t ban clothes and shoes completely because I will probably want some birthday outfits ;P

Do you think you could do it?

What’s your weak spending area?  Mine is anything from Zara, Kurt Geiger or obviously anything makeup, nail and general beauty related items!

  1. I am totally following your lead, Such a good idea - no make-up products for me but I don't actually think it's possible for me to stop buying clothes, especially when there is so many sales on at the moment! xo

  4. I'm trying to do the same as you, I found that I have so many products and need to get round to using them all. It's such a great idea gives us chance to use those forgotten about products :) Not buying clothes has been hard as the sales are all starting and there are some decent buys out there :(
