The reason why I'm proud of myself is because last week I only bought one thing. Dammit! I totally just lied to you. I actually bought two things, but both from the same category...
Makeup!
It all started when I got an email from Smashbox advertising glorious items that were marked down! When I saw the GlamBox set full of neutrals, I had to have it! Eye color, mascara, cheek color, gloss and brushes. Oh my!
And did you know that if you order during specific hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays you'll get a little something extra for free! I got a free full size lip gloss.
Then one day, I hopped over to my neighborhood Nordstrom and picked up a new Nars lipstick in Belle du Jour to replace my Giorgio Armani nude lipstick. So really, in this case, I really wasn't shopping. I was just replacing something that I had run out of.
You want to know what's really depressing? (Since I'm in the mood to confess, I might as well put it all out there.)
I've been watching a lot of HSN and QVC.. I love watching all the makeup sales. I saw this one called Ready-to-Wear and really, really, REALLY wanted to order this magic lash extender. After the demonstration, the models all had lashes that looked like spiders! MUST HAVE.And then there are all the presentations by Tarte and Smashbox and Philosphy. I can go on and on.
So far I've been able to resist picking up the phone and actually ordering. As much as I enjoy my "research", I don't want to be one of those people.
Then again Tyler Florence was on the other night and he was selling his new fancy cookware. I was soooo close to calling in just so I could talk to him.
I need help. Because now I've also admitted to watching non-cosmetics presentations!
Oh the shame!

Hey, I feel your pain. I have to smuggle my recycling out after dark so my husband does not see all of the boxes from my online shopping. Um, I get about 3-4 boxes per week but I have been on a little bit of a post-holiday shopping bonanza and had even more boxes stockpiled. And, if it makes you feel better, my husband likes to mention that I could have had a new car this year, but I spent a car last year.
