Another great month in the books Erin. Absolutely love your new palettes, both the custom ND and your new baby from ER. It’s been a busy month for me already and we’re barely halfway through. Love tons. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Hey Erin!!! I love the long videos. Great buys! I am sick now for the last week but you inspire me to use up my make up and only buy what I need. Thank you
I ordered flower moon along with flutter this morning and then clicked into your video and thought that your eyeshadow looked stunning so now I'm glad I did purchase it
It is so pretty!! One of the new ER palettes has the same-ish color story as the Cosmic Beauty Muse Palette, so I didn't feel the need for either of the two new palettes.
@erintaylorwrites You are the second person on RUclips that I feel comfortable commenting on your videos and replying. It's like I'm making a friend on the southern part of the East Coast.
I ordered the Flower Moon palette two weeks ago. Still waiting (I’m in eastern Canada and it’s coming from the west coast so I get it) and it was so expensive for shipping! I agree with you about the sparkle shades so it’s worth it…and I used a code 😀
Your Natasha denona mini palette is so cute. I ordered the Gold for my birthday and nyx blush and bronzer. I used up another powder and I'm almost done with a bronzer. I'm just really trying to enjoy my collection. I did get a gift card for Ulta and a Visa card which I'm thinking of using the visa for an ensley reign palette. I've never used a body oil but I'm really intrigued so I think next time I'm in Walmart or Target I'll pick one up. Body butters are so thick and when you sweat even the slightest they seem to become emollient again on me. I use a shop miss a lip mask and I swear by it. 😂. I would love the palette bingo idea.
Look at you working your way through some products!! That is awesome! and I'm glad you were able to treat yourself for your birthday!! Yes!! Fellow Floridian with the body butters!! Try out the body oil! The Dr. Teals one is cheapest and smells so good!!
ND Palette Bingo? Yes please! I also bought a couple of palettes this past week…😮 I saw two reviews of the Alter Ego Daylight palette compared with ND and I just went berserk! Decided I had to have it and have also been holding off buying their Midsummer palette (an ABH dupe). When I put them both in my cart I qualified for free shipping! There was a reason why I was supposed to wait on the Midsummer palette I guess. I used a code to get 10% off and I still got free shipping so lots of savings and Happy Birthday to me (not until the 26th but it should arrive in plenty of time to serve as a present to myself ❤). Also, I live in a very hot climate as well and have an enormous bottle of the Neutrogena body oil in my shower (Costco to the rescue). It is scented, but I like the scent. I just can’t wear any other perfume with it and I’m ok with that. I agree there is something unappealing about using really thick body butter type creams on our skin in this weather. It’s just too sticky and uncomfortable so I prefer the dry oil by Neutrogena 100%. Enjoy your new palettes and I can’t wait to see more looks with everything. Have a great weekend! 🎉
Nice deal you got on those palettes! I've tried Alter Ego before and the formula was nice, but I always kept wanting the original palettes over the dupes. I think we are finally getting a Costco in our area!! I've only had Sam's here and I'm ready to see what the hype is all about! Body oils for the win for sure!!!
@@erintaylorwrites My palettes arrived yesterday!! I tried the Midsummer one immediately and today I’m going to try the Daylight one. I think I’m set with eyeshadow for quite a while! 🤩😁
I knew that was an ER look!! 🤩🤩🤩 Magical. Yay for a foundation empty!! I love your Mini ND Z palette. I think that doing a palette bingo with those would be so much fun! Happy that you got the UD liners. That is a great price and you know that they will be used!
I am determined to never pay full price for a UD liner! LOL. I so want to do a palette bingo pulling shades from my ND minis. that would be so fun!!! There is something about finishing a foundation that is satisfying!! So happy to have that rolled out and that means I get to draw a new card in Deck of Panning this weekend!!
I am on a controlled buy, where I have certain categories I don't allow myself to buy until I've used up a few beforehand, that also includes stationery and books for example. I try to make sure I'm not overbuying in any category. OR if I have been in the past, I try to make sure I don't keep going with that habit. Books for example I bought a bunch at a fleamarket for very cheap and now for 2024 my goal has been to read all of my unread books (7) before buying more and I'm down to my last 2! My favorite purchase from july has to be a pumpkin swirl body lotion from bath and bodyworks because I got to visit america for the first time and also got to visit bath and bodyworks for the first time! And the smell of the body lotion is lovely
I love that you apply some "panning" rules/goals to other parts of your life. And it makes me think about other parts of my purchasing that might be getting out of control. I also love that you have been setting reading goals for yourself! I used to read a lot, but since I'm watching K dramas, I read the subtitles...so maybe same thing. LOL.
Oh no!! I can totally empathize! Work stress is so hard and when you are done with the work day you just want your mind to check out. I know I can end up scrolling and buying something before I know it when my brain is checked out from stress. Much love to you and I hope things get a little better each day for you! ❤️
RUclipsr Jen Phelps did a HUGE compare/contrast review project of physical sunscreens earlier this summer. Bubble Plus One and Hero Force Shield were a couple of her top picks. Also, the Fenty Eaze Drops is now down to 29 g, trying to empty next.
I love watching Jen's videos but we have such different skin types that I don't know about getting recommendations from her. I did order a K sunscreen on amazon and it will be here this weekend, so I'm thinking about trying it out before next month's buys and byes. You are rocking using the Eaze Drop!!
I sort of finished a mini Mac Lipglass today. I had little enough in it that I had removed the stopper to get the last little bit out. I'd say I had maybe a couple of weeks' worth of product left - and then it fell into my bathroom sink when the water was running! After that I decided it was better to just get rid of it, given that water had seeped into it because I had taken the stopper out.
Oh man...when you are so close but then something happens. 😱 But I would say you got your money's worth and you used up enough to remove the stopper! That is great!! I would say, yes that is an empty!!
My spouse got a K beauty sunscreen from a friend in South Korea, and it's supposed to be a popular one, but he said it felt just like the other mineral sunscreens we use. I just won't use chemical ones because I always burned with them before I switched and I'd rather deal with the weird texture and whitecast. I wonder how the Asian chemical ones are.
I ordered one last week and I'll have to give it a try before my next Buys and Byes. I know a lot of times they have higher SPFs than a lot of the ones we find in the drugstore here I the US.
This eyeshadow look is stunning 😍 You did great this month ❤ Still on my no buy. Tempted for sure but diligent enough to only put items on my wishlist
I so glad you are doing so well on your no buy! that is awesome!!! I'm always impressed by no buys!
Thank you for keeping me company while I did dishes & folded laundry. My favorite recent purchase has been the new Elf foundation :)
OH!! Do you have a video up on it? I was wondering about the foundation!
@@erintaylorwrites not yet but soon!
Wow I love your eye look today ❤
thank you!!
I enjoy all your graphics!! Thank you! And of course all your videos too :)
Thank you!! I love doing the graphics! It is so helpful for me to look back on and be mindful about how I am doing on my goals.
Another great month! A foundation empty! Yayyyyyy!
YES!! I love to see those foundations go!
Yes to a peppermint mocha all year round! I totally agree
YES!! We clear the shelf when the flavor comes to Target. 😂

August is flying by!! I can't wait to use the ER palette more. Those shimmers are sooooo pretty!!
Hey Erin!!! I love the long videos. Great buys! I am sick now for the last week but you inspire me to use up my make up and only buy what I need. Thank you
Oh no! Sorry you are sick! I hope you are on the mend soon! What have you used up recently?!

Hello Erin, I love that looks simple yet gorgeous. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos I watch every second of all your videos.
Aw thank you!! 🥰 Thank you for also commenting! I love feeling connected to people that are into the same things as me!!

Love your beautiful eyeshadow look today!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️

Yes get your money off!! Especially with all the tax and duties for Canada! I hope that you love the Flower Moon also!!
I love your videos. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!! I'm glad you are here with me!

I think it would be so much fun to do! I'll add it to my video idea list!
I’m buying ER for myself for my birthday, lol
YES!! The shimmers are so special!

I JUST finished my equate dupe for the Cerave hydrating cleanser!
Nice!! that is the one my husband uses! His skin is so dry and I do everything I can to keep him from being flaky. LOL
Cute hair 😉
thank you! wanted to give it a try again. 😍
I was shopping in TKMaxx here in the UK mid July for toiletries for my cruise and saw Halloween candles then.
Crazy!!! Like at least hold off until Sept!!
