I forgot who it was that posted this a while back, but they said you should think about how much you spend on clothes versus spending money on something that the world sees you with every single day (i.e., your face/skin).  Since then, I have treated myself to much nicer skincare and make-up products for my face, and I have seen the difference in both my skin (more even and less prone to breakouts) and my make-up looks like what I want it to look like.  Also, my mother swears by Chanel skincare and make-up products, has done so for at least the past 15 years, and she looks AMAZING for her age.

The same goes for new haircuts!  I always forget how important it is to feel good about your hair until I get a good haircut.


yes, yes, yes! i was going to add that about haircuts as well. totally agree.

I absolutely think that investing in hair and makeup (both time and money) is incredibly important to both feeling good and looking good - maybe even more so than clothes (gasp! I hope I don't offend anyone there )

And yet, I still feel guilty spending much on makeup. It doesn't make sense. But I've been gradually upgrading my products (except that I adore Wet and Wild mascara.. I've used it since middle school and it's amazing) and every time, it's been well worth it. I can't wait til I can upgrade to Chanel!

ooh I'm jealous.  I want some new makeup so badly.  Can you list what you bought (colors and all??) I spend over $100 every time I order from sephora which is a few times a year so I don't think $300+ for an entire face of makeup is bad at all.

sure, here is the makeup that i ended up with: (i also bought an exfoliator/face scrub and an anti-aging product which helped bring the total up a ton... so the makeup itself was probably under $200)


silky eyeshadow duo, color: desert-rose




intense eye pencil, color: marine




lash building mascara, color: brown




brow definer, color: soft brown




powder blush, color: orchid rose




sheer lip colouring pencil, color: pink praline




glossimer (lip gloss), color: pagoda

excellent haul hotcocoa! you enjoy it!

i think you should only feel bad about it if it becomes a crazy habit. i studied painting in college and still do paintings (but on a smaller scale) now.. although not professionally. for my entire life, i've had a problem with makeup.. mainly because i attribute it to painting and get hooked on a beautiful color or shade. i've done alot worse in $337 in my time.

lately, since my ban, i realized that what i actually need is far less than what i actually buy. if this lasts you a over six months and you use them everyday... what's really the cost per use? live a little!
