This is such a great idea! It's especially cool to see that since you waited, you didn't end up even wanting everything. I keep a section in my planner full of products I want as well. I myself am interested in the Weleda products and the Badger yoga balm!
ReplyDeleteI know! Definitely interesting x
DeleteIf you weren't on the spending ban you may have bought all this. I think it's a great idea to keep an account of what you want and refer back later as most things lose the initial appeal x
ReplyDelete:) some were "dream" products though. I agree most things do loose their appeal x
DeleteYou made it! Yay. Good job. If I had a spending ban, I'd accumulate a long wants list too. I don't recognize a lot of the things on your list, so I'm looking forward to reading your reviews.
ReplyDelete:) thanks! x
Delete11 weeks without shopping?!? WOW! good job!!! :D

I did have a few splurges though x
DeleteWishlists are the absolute best parts of spending bans!
ReplyDeleteI agree :) x
DeleteIt's amazing how often if you wait to see if you REALLY want something the desire goes. Wish lists are the best!
ReplyDeleteI know! I've been having a few spending splurges and I've not bought anything from my lists ;) x
DeleteI'm sad it's come to an end, I loved reading your spending ban posts lol xx
ReplyDeletehttp://beautyqueenuk.blogspot.co.uk/
awwh! Thanks :) going to do one for the month of May x
DeleteSo many great products to choose from, I definitely need to have a look at some of these! I've been wanting to try something from RMS for a while too! x

DeleteLove this Sandra, I may start my own wishlists! Thank you for including OV naturals & so glad you love the rose products.
