I SPENT FIVE FIGURES on Makeup Last Year and I REGRET IT

After a year of overspending on makeup, I've decided it's time for a change. In 2024, I spent more on beauty products than I ever thought possible, and while it may have been fun at first, it quickly became overwhelming. This year, I'm setting a monthly budget for makeup and focusing on thoughtful consumption and creativity instead of endless product reviews.

In this video, I'll reflect on my 2024 spending habits, share the lessons I learned, and explain why I'm taking a new approach to beauty content in 2025. Whether you're a fellow beauty lover or just curious about the behind-the-scenes reality of being a beauty influencer, I hope this video inspires you to rethink your own habits and embrace a more intentional mindset.

Join me as I discuss why overconsumption isn't the answer, how the beauty industry fuels FOMO, and how we can find joy in using what we already own. Let’s make 2025 the year of mindful beauty!

???? ABOUT ME:

Hi, my name is Jen I am 47 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 11 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time YouTuber with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment!
