Confessions of a Shopping Addict

I'm so unbelievably tired. Couldn't sleep at all last night. The humidity kept me up and when I don't get sleep, I get cranky. When I get cranky, I shop to make all right with my little world. And I shopped..

Went to Macys. I practically live there. I wouldn't have gone, but mom had to return some pants that didn't fit quite right. Then I remembered that Estee Lauder was giving away stuff if you spent $23 some odd dollars. Yes, I ran to that counter. I figured I'd get a lipgloss/stick or shadow or eyeliner or something. They're wily, those Macys people. They price it so you'll have to buy at least two things to get the free goodies. So instead of buying only one of the above, I had to get two. I spent $40 something on an eyeshadow (Pure Color in Berry Ice--lovely) and lipgloss(Pure Color Lip Vinyl in Copper Fantasy--just adds a bit of shimmer). I should feel ashamed, but I got some kickin' stuff with it. A mini-tweed bag, a makeup bag (Love it!), lipgloss (Pure Color Gloss in Copper--looks kinda like Lancome's Juicy Tubes), lipstick (Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick in Tiger Eye), brush set (Lash comb/brow brush, lip brush, eyeshadow brush), mini-moisturizer, mini-night serum. I'm actually wearing the free lipstick now, I love it so much. Pretty pretty! I hope that was enough detail for you, S.

I'm also suffering from buyer's remorse. I needed a fall handbag. There I was trying to decide between two. I got talked into one I was unsure of. Now I hate it. It looks to like it's a decent size, but there is no room inside. I wound up getting so pissed off with it, I almost threw it to the ground to stomp on it. So I'm going to try to return that and get the other one. This is why you should go with your gut and not follow another person's advice!

Got a few other things but those were the major purchases. I adore the makeup and the little makeup bag. It's the perfect length for liners and brushes. I hate when they make them too short. Then you have to shove everything in either diagonally or leave them out altogether. Of course, that's when you'll wind up needing those things you left behind.

In other news, the guy finally finished the bathroom. It took three days. Three days for a one day job. Ugh..
