This is a major investment!
I finally picked out the remaining corners of my last blush (MAC – orgasm) and had to admit that, after a strong 4 years together, it was time to move on. In fact, I had persisted in vigorously rubbing the blush cartridge and brushing it on my cheeks AFTER it was empty in desperate denial for at least 2 months. I’ve been “applying” blush, but don’t really think I’ve had any actually ON since – oh, the wedding? Yesterday I said – screw 30$ blush; I’ll go to Rite Aide; that’s where Laura Bush gets her makeup! (She also married a man who apparently has to be supervised while eating snack food – the “tortilla chip” incident, so probably not good judgment on my part there.) Plus, I watched a Dateline NBC special several years ago that claimed all the ingredients were the same, so “designer” makeup was a waste of money.
But when I peeled the 4 dollars of plastic packaging (what F would call an environmental nightmare) off of the 6$ blush I got there, it looked exactly like strawberry frosting.
F&^* YOU WET AND WILD!
I’ve got no Sephora, the mall is 30 minutes away and its idea of haute couture is Dillards (east coast JC Penny – but jazzy!). So, my options are limited. I’ve got to get it online, which means 6$ shipping for 30$ total. If you compare the monetary and time investment there to my last and current marriages, it’s a pretty significant commitment. Possibly second after F. So, sigh, lots of research. It is on its way now.
BTW – I do make my own shimmery lip gloss though, and I am using vinegar and baking soda to “no poo” my hair now, so I’m saving there.
