I'm going on vacation with some family and friends for a week, and while being on a house boat, in the sun, sand and water all day sounds glorious, my hair and skin needed some prep!
Enter Sephora:
self: "okaaay, I need some hair sunscreen concoction..."
self on self's shoulder: "really? I'm pretty sure you shouldn't have waltzed passed that pore-minimizing boscia mask so quickly. you're not getting any younger sister." {self on my shoulder has the voice of a sweet and sassy Queen Latifah}
self: "ohhh good call. and while I'm at it, I definitely need this $60 self tanner over this pasty skin!"
self on self's shoulder: "well...I wasn't gonna say anything, but it would look good on your new pore-less nose, girl!"
self: "well, I unfortunately now need new lip plumping gloss..."
self on self's shoulder: "of course. to enhance the tan and protected highlights. of. course."
And this was after I pulled my hoppy, skippy, Sephora self together. $$$ ka-chings later...
I should have stopped by a therapist's office to put a sock in the mouth of the self on self's shoulder.

| Okay...so I didn't buy this. But for $22, I definitely thought it was hilarious. "Yes, I need a cream just for putting my hair into a ponytail." |
Does this ever happen to anyone else?! Thank goodness my cabinets are now full of things I never knew I always needed ;)

It's an evil marketing ploy!! I'm not sure how but most of the time I manage to avoid the cosmetics industry traps but I am definitely tempted. And when it comes to clothes-I want it ALL!
ReplyDeleteI did this today in a possibly worse forum...online, while I'm unbelievably bored at work. It encourages me in a new way with the customer reviews and ratings (so tricky and terrible!)...all of the sudden my wallet just gives up and starts crying while I "Submit order." Happens.
ReplyDeleteJUst last weekend I went into ulta looking for something to cover my circles under my eyes. I left the store two hours later and 300dollars poorer. Now mind you I've been wearing the same eye shadow since I was 20 so I'm kinda glad I finally updated my look and learned about having a pallet of makeup and not just wearing one eye shadow anymore.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha this cracked me up b/c I am like this Alllll the time! But the only thing that holds me back is knowing that my hubby chks our joint CC all the time and I can't keep it secret lol. prob a good thing for me b/c I think I need everything! Ha ha have fun on your houseboat I looooove those things!
ReplyDeleteAll good purchases!! And you have the best hair of anyone I know so they are definitely paying off! Have a good time on your trip!
ReplyDeleteThat self tanner looks great! I have those same convo's with myself, but the things I never knew we always needed, are some of the best things I have!
ReplyDeletehaha - you crack me up! So how did the self tanner work? I just use some lotion but I'm toying witht the idea of getting a tanning membership just so I can spray tan...but then again a $60 one time purchase is cheaper than $60 a month. Okay..so you must tell me how it works!
ReplyDeleteWell Chelsea, I think it happens to everyone..doesn't it? Well if not I know it deffinetly happens to me!! I walk into a store and boom!! There's a new product I just have to try!, or a piece of clothing/accessories I just have to have. Impulse buying can be a real problem, and I know I have it!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your blog by the way, very cute and relates to girls everywhere! Keep it up!! :)
I know you're lounging on a lake, but I tagged you in my blog...enjoy!
