Do I need another eyeshadow palette? No. Can I afford another eyeshadow palette? Also, no. So I’ve banned myself from buying any more until I hit serious pan on these…
How many neutral brown eyeshadow palettes can one woman have? I’m pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in that department, fully intent on featuring on one of those shows about hoarders in years to come.
I have counted, and I have (THE SHAME) 48 eyeshadow palettes. Granted, many have been sent to me to try as as beauty writer, but I have also bought about 20 too many, and I use all of about four.
And what did I attempt to do yesterday as I wandered around the Brown Thomas beauty hall? I tried to buy another one. Reader, I’m trying to get a mortgage right now – I cannot afford to buy a tin of beans, never mind my 49th eyeshadow palette.
So I put myself on a self-imposed buying ban, and have committed to getting as close as I can to finishing these four that I love before I allow myself even LOOK at another purchase.
I feel like this is the beauty version of those fashion challenges where you’ve to wear what you own and force yourself to get creative, so that’s what I’m going to do. And if anyone spots me loitering around the NARS counter in BT in the near future, please restrain me.
