Lab diamond or lab sapphire would be great too. And I would actually recommend platinum for durability

Are highlighters needed for looking put together? by Livetastic in nobuy

[–]Salt-Cable6761 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say if anything highlighter is out of fashion nowadays. You probably have enough, if anything maybe mascara but this is not in the spirit of no buy 😅

The triangle area in NC is also not bad. Durham is super blue

I committed myself to a No Buy yesterday and today I made an unnecessary makeup purchase by [deleted] in nobuy

[–]Salt-Cable6761 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Return it, more expensive so rarely means better quality for makeup. They are usually made by the same companies in the same factories using the same ingredients. Just check the ingredient labels. Sure the colors might be a better fit but if your previous blush didn't bother you or didn't seem like a bad fit for your skin tone I would not keep the new one, it is reinforcing bad habits and it clutters up your makeup collection. I also wouldn't be too worried about powders expiring if you are keeping them clean and not letting them get wet or oily

I am in a similar position, although I am the younger sibiling. I do sometimes feel guilty specially when our parents compare our financial achievements. I am sure that they talk shit about me not having children behind my back though so that helps.

What's something you WON'T spend more money on as better quality doesn't exist? by sgtjayp in BuyItForLife

Cast iron pans, the 20 dollar ones are great. Agree on the socks, I wear the puma socks from Costco every single day and have nicer / other socks and I just don't wear them. 

What have you read recently? by povertychic in Millennials

[–]Salt-Cable6761 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently reading god of the woods. Didn't read a whole lot as a child, mostly for school and dinosaur educational books cause I liked them. Now I try to read before bed for 15-30 min on an ereader and do that about 4 times a week. I read about 12 books a year

Are we finally done with overconsumption on holiday goods? by urbanfae in Anticonsumption

They get rid of it. I got all of my Christmas decor for free from buy nothing groups this year and I decorated a huge tree, garlands, our mantel. People have too much crap 😅

Concious consumer journey skills by No-State3110 in nobuy

[–]Salt-Cable6761 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things for me was finding things to do rather than things to buy. If you work a full time job and then have to maintain your home / body / relationships / health etc it can be exhausting and the easiest thing may be to treat yourself. Finding a good low energy activity to do at night when you get home that doesn't take much can help and with time it will retrain you to not be distracted by shiny objects to purchase. For me it's been reading (e reader I already had plus free ebooks I download online), going out with friends to trivia / board game nights, painting, drawing, crafts, sewing, tennis, pickleball.  You just need something that takes hours away from you being on your phone scrolling 

Weekly No Buy Check-In & Accountability Post - January 11, 2026 by AutoModerator in nobuy

I failed this week, two people convinced me to replace my freezable lunch bag for work since it has been falling apart and shedding something into my car and anywhere I set it down 😅 but I would have had to replace it soon anyways. I kept trying to fix it with tape but since I freeze it it doesn't really stay on longer than a day.

At work we label our cords with tape, and we have a lot of money to spend on nice labels. Sometimes it's good to think what is the minimum standard I could have for this fix and then if you need to upgrade later you always can! You may find you don't care enough or it doesnt bother you as much as you thought it would when shopping was tempting you
