A MAKEUP ADDICTS CONFESSION: So earlier this week I had posted a Bare Minerals eyeshadow quad that I was bonkers about, but said I was going to wait because the colors seemed like they were similar to some of the Style Seeker colors. While this is off topic, I am posting this here because I blame that gorgeous Center Of the Universe MSF for this purchase! So this is how this purchase came about (note the sick rationalization process).... While on another thread here at Specktra, Electric Cool ES, some members mentioned the Loreal Infalliable eyeshadows. Due to their low cost and high quality, I thought I would check them out...had to go to Target anyway! I had my eye on the new fall plum color. Well Target didn't have the new fall colors...So with about $100 of groceries in tow on about a 90 degree day, my sick addicted brain thinks it would be a good idea to drive about a 1/2 hour away to Ulta, "just to look." *wink, wink* Well lucky me the Infalliables are on sale buy 2 get 1 free! I grab the plum, and begin choosing my second color when the thought hits me that these are going to end up costing me $16 for three(here is where the rationalizing begins)...$16 is half way to the cost of the BM quad that I really want..these colors won't be exactly the same as the Style Seeker colors, in fact they will probably work well with those colors...how dare you go out of the house with an $8 eyeshadow on, when you have so many eyeshadows that you have spent $20+ on. Now logicaly I know a good product does not have to cost a lot of money, but I would feel guilty wearing these when I have so many products that I have spent a lot of money on, and lets face it...I am not going to stop buying $20+ dollar eyeshadows until my eyeballs fall out of my head, so why do I need these $8 eyeshadows? Anyways...swatches of the BM quad The Rare Find that I bought for my HC CotU. CotU across top.
I am in love with that green, the shimmery gold, and the terracotta color. Just curious, does anyone else think like this? I swear deep down I knew I wasn't going to Ulta to see those Infalliables...I was just putting myself in the vicinity of that BM palette so I could buy! I am so on to me!
