Project No Buy Update: Week 7

Greetings from the Dark Side!

And welcome to the round up for Week 7 of my No-Buy!

 

Week 7 (February 18 - February 24) has been challenging because of many recent tempting collections and shopping trips. Let's see how I did!

For my weekly haul (with swatches and first impressions), go HERE. 

 

Money is Makeup Bank before Week 7: $64.81

 

1. Pumpkin & Poppy Collection (-$48)

2. Sinful Colors Nail Polishes (-$4)

3. Real Techniques Brush Set ($-0) ---> I am exempting this purchase because I don't own many brushes and because I NEVER get to go to ULTA and I would not be able to buy them in person otherwise.

 

 Total Money in Makeup Bank after Purchases =  $12.81

 

 

                                                               Week 7's Rewards                                                                    

1) Weekly goals: 

Goal #1: (uncompleted from Week 6) I must make at least two book reviews on my literature blog, The Library of Babel. 

[Failed!...Again] I have had no time to do this :(

Goal #2: I have to post three makeup looks during Week 7, at least one has to be a geeky makeup look.

[Completed!] Yay I made 3 makeup posts, one being the Diablo III:Demon Hunter look :) (+5)

 

 

 2) Grades: 

I had one assignment graded this week:

-ENL183 Essay, 88% B+ (+10)

3) Reading: 

This week I read: 

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, 230 pages (+7)

Charlotte's Web by E.B. White, 184 pages (+5)

Imaginary Girls by Nova Rem Suma, 386 pages (+7)

4)Language Learning:

This is a little different, and really nerdy. I am learning the Tengwar script. If you do not know what Tengwar is, it is basically an script invented by J.R.R. Tolkien and is used to write many of the Elven languages. But you can also use it to write English. I am learning to write it and read it ;D I know, super nerdy. But I've always wanted to learn it! So far, I've learned half of the script. 

(+5)

 

5)Empties: 

I have six empties this week! Woo Hoo! I don't want to make this post super cluttered though, so I promise I will make an empties post tomorrow with mini reviews :)  (+6)

 6) Self-Control: Kept withing budget~!

                                                                   Week 8: Weekly Goals                                                         

 
These two goals are my weekly goals for next week. These two goals must be completed by next Sunday in order for me to earn reward money.

Goal #1: I will make a post about my hair care and hair style (I've received a lot of requests for this post).

Goal #2: I will eat healthier this week. I've been eating horribly these past two weeks, so I really need to eat healthier.
