Last weekend, I popped into the local Sephora with my mum to help her pick out a new foundation. I prepped myself by repeating "There's nothing I need in here," seeing as how I already own way more make-up than one girl could ever apply. I've found myself in possession of one crazy-out-of-control makeup stash - we're talking 4 or 5 tackle boxes full. I love it all - lip glosses, eye shadows, foundations, primers - everything. And being completely honest... I'm a total makeup snob. I like the good stuff. But let's face it...the good stuff ain't cheap.
I've been pretty vigilant about sticking to my budget, so when it comes to making a visit to my mecca, Sephora, I've learned its best to leave the plastic and the checkbook in the car. I walked in to the Holy Land with a $20 bill my back pocket and my spending mantra on repeat in my head. But after a collision with the clearance section and a 5 minute mental conversation weighing my options, I walked back out the door with $3 in my pocket and a little bag filled with 4 fabulous Stila finds...
