No Buy Product Challenge 2011 pt.1

[13StepsAhead]

Well IMATS is gonna be in NYC in April, and the Makeup Show 2011 in NYC is the one I am going to. IMATS is open to the general public. Big discounts! 40% off MUFE 40% off Stila 30% of Smashbox etc. First time IMATS is gonna be in NYC IMATS Home (International Make-Up Artist Trade Show)

Unfortunately the Makeup Show is not open to the public unless you have makeup artist credentials. I do press for it so that's the only reason why I get in.

Oooo thanks for the info! That's a 20min train ride for me so I will be definitely going to that.

Hello Ladies I am feeling great about this challenge tis far

I am looking at my stack of conditioners and that keeps me from buying anymore. I am also trying to gift some of my stash of things I don't use. I feel good about this challenge.

 

[Minty]

La La I don't know. I told my husband I'm officially "no-buy" so he will hold me to it since I spoke it. I'm also trying not to transfer that into other areas

clothes buying for instance, although I need a new wardrobe for Spring, I think I will wait until the first leg is up to make purchases.

I intend to spend this time decluttering. I want a "free" home so I think that will keep me off the computer and my mind off buying.

I'm also ramping up marketing for this year and adding to my portfolio so I've already planned this year to be a banner year for me.

I hear Chaka Khan in my head...."I'm gonna make my magic shine"

I'm doing the first three. I'm also listening to music. I'm also contemplating sending out stuff to some folks using my reliable shipper (my mama ).

I don't visit hair forums as much as I used to, and when I do log on I definitely do not visit the U1B1 thread or the exchange/swap forum. This is something that I really want to do so it's not too hard...yet.

You're right about this! I'm still a lil upset that I didn't get to try BFH, but oh well. I'm not lusting Charz I'm just sayin.
