i thought about it but i still don't know what i would spend on beauty as i don't have a set routine or set products... still, i'm gonna estimate i spend maybe $50 a year for soaps, lotions, and makeup right now... this is not counting stuff like clothes and accessories (another maybe $40?) and not counting the gym which i count as a health expense... i've only been tracking our spending for since august so i don't think i have an accurate picture yet as i already had plenty of beauty products...

as for resisting the temptation shengmei maybe you should go look thru what you own already... then consider whether what you want to buy is classic or just a trend... is it simply pretty or does it look good on you... i've seen some beautiful shades of eye shadow that just look pretty bad on my skn tone... also stuff like, how often do you use what you have and another question for higher cost items is "Are any of the products things you have been considering seriously for at least a month?"... those things usually help me think over things... hope this does help with the temptation...
