Even with the best of intentions most of us will have caved by now and bought SOMETHING :p
My first beauty purchase of 2016 was Skinfood's Tanning Moisturiser - my sister in law gave me a few samples to try and it's excellent, so I was delighted to find some in store!

I didn't realize I had such a bad problem until yesterday when I had to go into town to get anti-flamm, I kept getting delayed from leaving the house by the kids, my husband, then they were hungry (and helpless) I was getting so so grumpy and then I snapped and just had to leave for the shops- the minute I was riding down that escalator all tension was released! I just wandered for a good two hours - only got a couple of random little things - spent less than $50, but gee I felt good- hadn't been to the shops since my Boxing Day very quick shop, I was in withdrawal!
Absolutely nothing, surprisingly! I'm going to be a bit more controlled with my spending this year as I'll shortly have much higher living expenses, which is good because I certainly don't need any more beauty products! Will finally be picking up my wee mini Becca Opal liquid and powder highlight set from Beauty Bliss tomorrow though! (bought before Xmas) Soo excited!
Haha thanks Trudi, you ain't so bad yo self ;-) and lol I have about the same! I bought a lime shower gel (I can't remember what the brand is derp) and I have Lush Snowman Jelly and then also Snow Fairy and LOM. Everything else is hiding in the cupboard awaiting the day the light shall grace it hahahaha. I'm also pretty excited to find out who the winners are of these competitions, I want them to be drawn nooowwwwww >:D
No beauty purchases for me so far this year either! Lol, it's only the 5th! I didn't get to open my huge lush haul until the 2nd though. Between that, my L'occitane advent calendar and the haul I bought back from Korea, I really don't need to buy anything for a long,long time. BRBB excluded (that goes without saying, the FOMO is strong in this one). The new Lush products and LEs throughout the year will be hard to resist though.
My friend asked me yesterday if I want to go to Cuba next dec/Jan so that is going to be my motivation to shop my stash until its gone.

I was thinking I had been good but nope! I bought a natio giftpack from farmers, it was halfprice so I couldn't resist. Then from avon I got the big & false mascara and a foot cream.I've put myself on a total eyeshadow ban this year. I've decided to try and pan my naked palette and if I don't buy any eyeshadow I'm going to treat myself to a viseart palette next January.
I haven't purchased anything beauty related in the new year! I am trying to be better with money this year so I am setting up some savings, including a money tin that I can crack open for makeup ;) but with beauty this year I'm aiming to only buy things I really want or need, I'm past the stage of wanting a big collection just because, I'd much rather have less and get more use (:
I did manage to get in a couple of beauty buys before 2015 finished! I picked up 3 nail polishes - a Maybelline one and 2 Sinful Colour ones.
Then Postie was having 25% off so I grabbed 2 body mists, 2 BYS eyeliners and a La Colours eye set that included an electric blue eyeliner and an electric blue mascara.

I didn't do any of the Boxing Day sales but on the last day of last year I did stock up on Oasis Apple a Day because there was a buy 2 get 1 free and it's a product I can't do without so not going to be wasted. So far since the year started my first beauty purchase was a bossy's Tutti Fruti body scrub at a bargain off a friend but since I only have one body scrub in my personal stock at the moment I did the right thing. Since then I bought a bottle of rosehip oil for my sister since she needed one and I had a Life Pharmacy reward voucher about to expire.
I just did a l'occitane order. Is that beauty or essential items? Shower oil. Shampoo. Lip balm. Hand moisturiser. Im putting it in the essential cause who wants a smelly farmers wife? Gotta be clean right? And there was a item added in there cause I just don't wanna pay for delivery! I HATE paying for delivery
