(price) Sticker SHOCK!!!

[Cataholic]

I only WISH I left the makeup counter with a $72 purchase.

I like nice makeup. I like wearing it. I have yet to meet anyone that doesn't look a little more "pulled together" with some makeup on. Maybe just a nice moisturizer and some blush and gloss. Maybe more!

A couple of weeks ago, Jonah dropped some Lancome moisturizer, the glass container broke, and I could feel/hear the sound of grit when I went to open it to see what I could salvage. Into the trash it went. That, alone, was prolly $35.

My guy likes smooth skin! Good practice for his older age, I suppose.

Its good to feel good when wearing make-up but be warned those of you who have it for a long time like perfume good or bad it goes off and can cause really bad irritations so if it is over a couple of years old its time to chuck it and invest in new ones so for those of you who have purchased recently wear it and renew it. I only ever wear No7 Intelligent foundation (its like I am not wearing anything but brings some life to my skin) some lippy and some mascara and all of it ever comes to over here is about 40 euro so I use it every day and buy new stuff when it runs out. I would never spend money on make-up and not wear it. Even when its a Saturday and I am slobbing around in casual pants and t-shirts doing grocery shopping and filling the car etc I wear my make up and I feel good and it shows when I go out.

The last time I wore makeup was for Halloweenie years ago. I do have some old makeup that's about 30 yrs old in a makeup bag that I used to use as a doorstop.

...and I ain't no girly-girl either....Gini and a few others can attest to that.

Does that makeup make you feel any girlier???

Doesn't make me feel more 'girly'. But I hate to scare people so I always put on eyeshadow, brows and lipstick. Maybeline and Cover Girl are expensive enough for me.

It's nice that you've found a makeup you can wear, even if it's only a special times here and there.
Sometimes it's just nice to spoil yourself with something expensive.

I never really wore a foundation until I bought the bare minerals and now hardly a day goes by that I don't put some on. It makes me feel good

I have GOT to have my mascara (even if it is Cover Girl, which it usually is) and lipstick. I have to. I use foundation, blush and powder most of the year, but in summer, when I tan, I might bypass the foundation and blush.

I admire women who don't care, but frankly, I feel naked without at least my mascara, which I forgot to put on yesterday, before church, and I had someone ask me if I was feeling ok! LOL!!! It is all in the eyelashes!!!
