Being obsessed with all things beauty and fashion does have it's negatives, and the worst one is definitely spending (bolding and underlining is necessary). The second I've got money in my hands, I find something I 'need' to spend it on. I haven't got a job just yet, so this is becoming quite the problem.
The other day I found something called the 52 Week Savings Challenge and have decided to give it a go. I wanted to share it with you guys too, in case anyone else was having the same problem. The one I have linked is called the 'Mega Money Challenge' and after completing it you will have saved $6,890. This one is good for those of you who are older and have a job, but is way too much for me! I've decided to do the version for kids. The end result of this challenge is $344.50. There are plenty of other versions of the challenge, which I will link here:
365 Days
52 Week Standard
52 Week Variation
52 Week Make Money
52 Week Double
52 Week Mini
26 Bi-Weekly
24 Bi-Monthly
12 Monthly

I didn't think this was enough for an entire post so I'm merging it with my '2014 Wishlist' (They are kind of related, right?). Here are a few things I would love to have bought by the end of the year!
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette - $41.40
I've been wanting an Urban Decay Eyeshadow Palette for about a billion years... they look gorgeous and have such wonderful reviews. I thought about whether it was worth buying the 1, 2 or 3 palette but it's far too much money for me! The Naked Basics Palette has six matte, neutral colours which is great for beginners (like me)!
Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray - $15.99
This spray has had very good reviews and is affordable. I love the idea of a sea salt spray, you just spritz it (what a good word...spritz) in your hair and mess it up a bit, then you're ready to go. I hate spending a lot of time on my hair and as it's summer now, this look is great. The salt does dry up your hair, which is the only negative, but it should be fine as long as it's used sparingly.
Revlon Scented Nail Polish - $4.99 each
Two of my absolute favourite things - Nail polish and yummy scents. The ones I'm most looking forward to trying are Bubble Gum (back row, last one on the right) and Cotton Candy (back row, second from the left).
Our Moment Perfume by One Direction 30.0ml - $39.00
As everyone around me knows, I am a huuuge fan of One Direction. I would really love to own this, I've smelt it once before and think it's absolutely lovely. Very sweet and fruity - my favourite!
Let me know in the comments whether you're going to try one of the Saving Challenges, or tell me whats on your 2014 Wishlist!

I love Our Moment, every time I'm in Myer I put it on! And I agree - urban decay be mine :'( I think you could have made two posts out of this - nothing wrong with a short post! Also, the money saving tips are great. Might have to try them! If you can, I highly recommend getting a job. It gives you so much more flexibility with money, plus you begin to feel like a real proper growing up person which is sorta cool and sorta scary. But the money is worth it!

It smells soo amazing! Haha I think every beauty blogger either has an Urban Decay Palette or desperately wants one. Yeah, I've been giving our my resume recently so hopefully I'll be able to get one soon! Thanks! :) xx
DeleteWell done for starting a savings plan. Maybe you could print out small pictures of things on your wishlist and stick them in your savings jar or on a pin-board to remind you of your goals. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Thanks :) xx
