Alright, I promise this is NOT an obsession. But, if you didn't know me you would think I had one. Check out all this makeup. So sad. I don't even wear makeup on a regular basis. (Most of the time I am lucky if I remember to put it on on Sundays) But, looking at this stash you would think I was a die-hard "makeup-ist" (so not) I probably own more makeup than most makeup artists.
I think the real root of my problem stems from the fact that I don't know much about makeup and so I always have to buy one of everything to try and see if this will finally be the product that makes a respectable looking woman out of me. (You know, the dilemma: is this the right color or is this? I guess I will get one of both just in case) That, and the fact that I have never taken the time to sit down, experiment, and figure out which makeup regiment and colors/products work best for me. I probably should do that because my makeup purchasing problem coincides with my makeup hording problem. (I can't throw makeup away because I always worry that one day, that might have been the perfect color/product to solve my dilemma) Sad, sad, strange girl.
Honestly, even as I read through this post I realize how very sad this is. Plus side. I just ordered elf makeup for $1 a piece and so this stash did not cost me near what you think it did. Plus, it is not like I have a makeup purchasing obsession; I don't walk in a store and go straight for the cosmetics. It is just when I run out or have a big event coming up (like a wedding or family pictures) I go searching for, as I mentioned before, something to make a respectable looking woman out of me. And, because I have no clue what I am looking for, I always come home with options...that sit in the bottom of my makeup bag.
So...if you ever need a certain makeup color, chances are I have it and don't ever use it, so give me a call.
Britt, I ordered some elf makeup too and its fun to experiment and not feel guilty about wasting something that doesn't work.
