    1. My shopping addiction ruined my life
    2. Extremely addicted to buying make up, not even wearing it
    3. Does anyone else feel like the constant pressure to have different "looks" is just a gendered scam meant to limit the amount of money/power women have by getting everyone to consume more?

    1. How to stop buying stuff when your favorite brand keep doing new releases
    2. I think I really need some help with this now
    3. I need advice please. I've been purchasing a lot of make up lately. I think I have Obsessive Compulsive Shopping Disorder, I usually go from buying specific products and when I feel like I have everything on that type then I go and move to the next one.

    1. So glad the Sephora sale is finally over so now the influencers can shut up about their recommendations.
    2. Hot take: Only keeping products that "spark joy" is bullsh*t
