Makeup - Not Wearing It

[ellebud]

The thing about cosmetics is that so much money is wasted purchases. If you buy one lipgloss, and you use it, finish it, the purchase it worth it. Most of us have drawers filled with.......well it was a good idea at the time stuff, but at home...yuck. Again, practice saying no to salepeople.

The lines I recommended are expensive. The OP may purchase one or two items total. If she determines that she will use cosmetics (in general) one good purchase is a victory. Wasted time and effort and several booboos in color, consistency, or allergic reactions (which she did not say that she had) can be disheartening. And no matter what the saleperson is pushing, (my personal favorite is the undereye base) you don't have to get anything you won't use.

That's easy for you to say...you're older than most of the salespeople. (So am I.) When I was younger, I was completely intimidated by the dept store counters.

Not to mention it's just a sin to pay dept store prices if she's going to buy mascara and tinted gloss. To wear for one week.

Oh absolutely. You have to replace mascara so frequently that I can't justify department store prices, and I wear mascara every day. I like Covergirl Lash Blast.
