Have you ever attempted a no- or low-buy? How did it go?
Have you ever attempted a no- or low-buy? How did it go?
I have not attempted one, but I do keep my purchases in line with my budget so that I’m not spending everything I make on makeup. My first bit of advice for a more successful no- or low-buy is being hyper-aware of WHY you’re doing one and why some other goal is more important right now than...

The Best & Worst of Pat McGrath Lip Fetish Sheer Colour Lip Balms
Pat McGrath Lip Fetish Sheer Colour Lip Balm ($38.00 for 0.12 oz.) is designed to have a "tease of color" with a "lightweight veil of hydration."
