As i was cleaning off my make up tonight i started thinking about how much a REALLY am OBSESSED with make up. Its almost crazy, while the make up was coming off my face i was thinking about how i was going to wear it tomorrow..if i was going to change my foundation routine, if i should toss colors i never use.
I thought about it so much that i actually almost put make up back on just to see how it would look if i tried some new colors together.
Crazy i know...but my love of make up runs DEEP, im not exactly sure when it started but i know this is a love affair that will last a life time. Lipstick, eye shadow, lip liner and blush. Foundation, concealer, powder *sigh* i love it so much!! (You see what i did there? It was like a little jingle)
Anywho, i do have some words of wisdom for all my make up lovers out there, there is a point where it all needs to stop...or at least a point where you should cut back on buying.
I have seen far to many of my fellow make up obsessed friends knee deep (no really) in unopened eye shadow boxes or foundation....or even worse having so many products that you dont know what to use so you just go with the same thing everyday.
My advice is:
-Before you go shopping, look over what you already have. If you have to much of something (foundation) ask yourself. "Do i really need more"? "How often will i use it?" "Am i willing to throw out the old to make room for the new?"
-Make a list of what you NEED (eye shadow colors, primer, ect) before you leave and try to stick to that and only that.
-To save money, search for dupes (less expensive make up lines that make almost identical copy's of the higher end brands) like NYX has a lot of dupes that match M.A.C
and last but not least.....
if you not already addicted....DONT get addicted...it can really empty your pockets lol
