buying 15 body washes is overconsumption, buying 3 because there was a good deal is not.

buying every shade of a lip gloss the second it comes out and never using them again is overconsumption, buying 2 from a new collection you know you will use is not.

i’m saying this because i saw a video of someone doing a home restock and she had bought 2 sent bead things because there was a good deal and over half the comments were people saying how it was overconsumption. this is not overconsumption this is saving money.

overconsumption is buying things you don’t need and will never use just because you want to buy something. it is buying in bulk knowing you will never use the products. what overconsumption is not is buying two body scrubs because it was buy one get one free and you know you will use them. it is not buying two shampoos at once so you have a backup. that’s not overconsumption.
