I walked into a luxury makeup store after my no-buy… and froze.
After months of no-buying, I thought I had impulse shopping under control. But 48 hours later, I was clutching Cle de Peau foundations, YSL mascara, and shimmering eyeshadows – convinced they were “the better version” of things I owned. This video shares what stopped me, the one question that saved me from overspending, and the exact tool I use to shop with intention.
