I am not one to make resolutions. I feel like I set myself up for failure! But when the Makeup Wars group suggested Beauty Resolutions, I knew there were a few things I definitely should try to do! Stop buying so much nail polish (as if), say “NO” when people ask me to test skincare, use up all hand lotion… But if I narrow it down to just one thing, I know what it should be:
Don’t buy any shampoo or conditioner in 2013. That may seem drastic to some of you, but I have more shampoo than I know what to do with. Before I moved to Iowa I was really into couponing, especially for beauty items. For example when I moved here I had 24 boxes of hair color! Seriously. That stuff is expensive, so I would only buy it when they were on sale or clearance AND I had awesome coupons for it. I would never spend more than $2. That worked out well for me as most of my favorite at-home hair color run between $8 and $13. I still haven’t had to buy any.
BUT BACK TO SHAMPOO. Not only do I have all the bottles I moved here with, I seem to receive a lot for review too. And let’s not talk about the number of sample sizes I have saved. And yet I still occasionally buy my beloved Kenra Platinum Sulfate Free Shampoo for Fine Hair. And I know when I run out of my It Factor Quick Blow Dry Shampoo and my DermOrganic Conditioning Shampoo I am going to want to buy both of them too. And my L’Oreal EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner! How could I almost forget that? I thought I had a backup but when I pulled everything out of my cupboard I couldn't find it!
So as you can see I am addicted to buying shampoo in a sick, sad way. The ones in the pictures… those are the ones I like… I pushed the rest on my husband! I never want to run out so I always have a lot on hand. And if I see it on clearance? I am a goner. But this year will be different. I will be different! So for all of 2013, I will not buy ANY shampoo or conditioner. Not for my husband either - and I didn’t even count how many unused bottle he has either. BTW he LOVES the new Clear Scalp Therapy shampoos - they make one for men and one for women. And I have pushed tons and tons of shampoo on him in the past 9 years so when he says he likes something, he likes something!
What about you? Do you have any Beauty Resolutions?
