🛍️ Help De-influence Me!

2024/3/15 Edited to

... Read moreNavigating the world of beauty products can be overwhelming, especially with an overflowing cart at Sephora. If you're like me, you might feel the pressure of choosing between the latest trends and your budget. One popular approach in the beauty community is 'de-influencing,' which encourages consumers to think critically about their purchases and focus on what truly adds value to their beauty routines. For instance, while product advertisements target our emotions and experiences with stunning visuals and influencer testimonials, it's essential to prioritize our needs. My current Sephora wish list includes a mix of sought-after items like Drunk Elephant's skincare line, Too Faced makeup products, and Tower 28's lip and cheek blushes. Yet, with a limited budget, I invite you to help me decide which ones to keep! Some standout products I've been eyeing include the Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream and Natasha Denona's Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Concealer. These items have received rave reviews for their quality and effectiveness. However, it's crucial to take a step back and consider if they are necessary additions to my collection, or if I can find alternatives in my current stash. Your input can help guide my decision! If you've tried any products from Sephora's offerings that you found exceptionally good or mediocre, please share your experiences. Together, we can foster a culture of mindful shopping that not only benefits our wallets but also promotes sustainable beauty practices.

The Tower 28 lip gloss is nice—but if you already have a decent clear gloss, you definitely don’t need it. It’s pretty standard—not bad, but not crazy impressive!🥰

Deinfluence me from buying a new MacBook!
I bought my MacBook when I graduated high school almost 7 years ago😱 since I got it, I’ve used it to play sims for hours, do school work, and work on my businesses. It started slowing down a lot about a year ago so I wiped the entire computer and started fresh in hopes that it would speed things up

Want more influence?
Want more influence? Start helping people win. Most people focus on looking impressive. The smartest people focus on being useful. Because real influence isn’t built by talking about yourself. It’s built by helping others grow. Here’s what that looks like in real life ⚡️ →
