Confessions

Erm. I must make a confession. It's kind of gross (not in a I-like-to-be-peed-on* kind of way, don't worry).
I try to take care of myself. And I'm pretty meticulous about certain things. Except: make-up.

*I don't. Like it, that is. Not that I've tried. But, with all of the experiences available to me and the limited time I have on earth, I'll pass.

Dude, I have make-up that is YEARS old. YEARS and also more YEARS. Way older than is recommended.
Here's why: I cannot possibly use up any of these products fully in the time that is recommended. Like: six months? REALLY?! There is no make-up product** that I use SOOO frequently or in such volumes that they are gone in six months.
I guess what I'm saying here is: I'm cheap. And I bend the rules to satisfy that cheapness. BUT! After work today I have vowed to purchase all new eye shadows*** and lip products to replace the offending products. And lo, these products will be all-natural and from the froofy-natural-stuff store. AND, when I get home I will toss the oldies AND wash out all of my applicator brushes that I intend to keep.

**Exceptions: lip gloss, because I have giant lips that are dry; and eye-liner, because I must accentuate the positive.

I'm turning over a new leaf, people. At least I'm going to try.

***BUT since I am so cheap, I will be tossing eye shadows in about twelve different fun colors including purples and dramatic greens and I will probably just replace them with boring-ish neutrals :(

1. You don't NEED makeup. You have annoyingly dewy, perfect skin and gorgeous eyes and all the rest of it.

2. Almay has all-natural (well, 99%) eyeshadow that doesn't cost much.
