(price) Sticker SHOCK!!!

[jenluckenbach]

Ok, so I never claimed to be a "girly-girl". I don't wear makeup. #1 because it is too much trouble. But #2 because everytime I would try, it would irritate my face. (AND I would get people kidding me...."OOOOOO, Jen is wearing makeup").

Well, I have a family wedding later this afternoon (and another next Saturday) and I decided to actually go to a makeup counter at a depaertment store. In my 44 years, this is something I have never done.

I liked the results and bought 4 products. A powder/foundation, a blush, a lip color and a lip color/shine.

$72

Well, the good news is, for the number of times I will use this stuff, it will last until I die of old age. (LOL)

I know exactly what you mean. A friend of mine took me to buy make up and I spent about that same amount (honestly, I can't even remember how much). But it's all in a ziplock baggie and I've probably only used it about three times. I bought it a couple years ago. So I should NEVER have to buy anymore of it ever!! I only wear eyeliner and mascara on a daily basis.
My friend says, that's the price you pay to be a woman. Umm....ok.....NO!!
She also wears high heels and says the pain is the price you pay to be female. I do not, and never will wear heels. (Partly because it will make me taller than Bruce and they HURT!!!)

I did the EXACT same thing when I went to my grandparents' 50th anniversary...$80 for eyeshadow, bronzer, and mascara. I still have the eyeshadow and bronzer, five years later.

I'm a girlie-girl and I have no idea how much I have spent (nor do I want to know) as I'm sure it would be quite embarassing!

I don't wear alot of make up but I do like the "good stuff."

Good for you Jen Yes I understand the sticker shock but now sounds like you have some good quality products that will last you. Maybe you will even add a dab of this and that "just because!", even if it just a bit of lipcolor/gloss. I have gone through so many makeup colors because I never let the ladies at the counter help me! Again, GOOD FOR YOU!!

I'm not overly girly, however I do like to look cute, have my hair down and feel like I look my best. I always wear mascara and eye liner and feel that I look plainer without it on. I also wear it because I'm in love with my eyes, lol.
