Not a serious issue, but it just struck me as being funny...
I grew up tossed between my mom and my grandmother. My grandmother is always IMPECCABLY groomed, and would give me her old makeup-Christian Dior, Estee Lauder, high end brands. My mom wears makeup maybe once or twice a year at most, and REFUSED to let me wear it except for special occasions a few times a year until I was 16. Her view was that she "wanted me to know I was pretty WITHOUT it" but the message that I instead got was that if I wore makeup I was lying, and it was useless because NO amount of grooming would make me pretty. (long story, its a weird dysfunctional family)
Well, between my classical dancing needing stage makeup, and starting modeling, I've been branching out with the makeup for a few years, still with the grandmothers handmedowns.... And it occured to me... I probably spend as much on nice high end makeup now as my grandmother now that i'm buying my own...
Bought a few new mac eye colors yesterday(including that HOT new teal from their summer collection.... works GREAT with my eyes!) A little bit back, I bought about 16 eyeshadow colors from Urban Decay, my 30$ Kiss Me Mascara(black for work and Brown for personal), just got my order placed for Dermablend concealors since I bruise freakish easily and badly(it even shows up under club lighting)(LOL the makeup counter didn't even have the color i needed, since I'm too pale and its the palest color in the whole line!)
Sooner or later, I want some new shades of lipstick and some better brushes...
But I've already probably spent 400-500$ on makeup this year. That is WAY too much! Thats almost a months rent! Thats more than I spend on the rest of my nondancer wardrobe COMBINED....
What's your weakness budget breaker? Clothes, shoes, makeup, takeout chinese food, hair coloring/care... What pampering thing can you JUST not say no to?
And side note question... really pale girls, what are your favorite colors/skin products... I have a hard time finding foundation thats pale enough for me, and a lot of lip colors/eye colors just look freakish or drag queenish because of teh brown undertones...
