My Battle Against My Biggest Foe – Sales on Makeup

Over the weekend I made an almost sinful discovery while at a local grocery store 50% all cosmetics and so it began.

Normally I know when enough is enough, and by that I mean I have my moments of occasional “makeup gluttony” if you will, but I’m usually able to recognize when I’m having a lapse and call my sponsor to talk me down before I buy hundreds of dollars’ worth of lipstick, eye shadow and nail polish that I already have two of at home.

However, this doesn’t  count, I mean half off the one thing I love to spend money on more than clothing how could any girl in my position resist?  So I didn’t.  Although I found myself wondering at the counter how I would rationalize spending over a hundred dollars on makeup and nail polish when there are holes in my walls at the house that I have yet to buy the necessary supplies to fix.  I mean I could take it a step further and ask myself why I didn’t just put that money towards the “Tatas for Tawny” fund, considering I’d get way more fun out of that investment than the makeup.

Alas, I found myself with buyer’s remorse for all of about 3 seconds as I handed my bank card to the cashier.  I say all of about 3 seconds because that’s about how long it took for me to start applying said purchases, yes in my car, what? I don’t play, I was putting on new lipstick and such the whole way home and when I got there I looked like a prostitute but with way more makeup on.
