I love the Internet, and I love YouTube. I am often on the latter, watching either Tarot readings for my sign, or makeup videos. The makeup videos, being about different looks or product review, are exciting and also quite addictive.
I always loved makeup for self-expression and to create a look of well-being so, over the years, I accumulated quite a bit. Lipsticks, eye shadows, foundations, powder and concealer, lots of concealer. Then there is the skin care, and I shall return to it in a later post.
As I move from cosmetic reviews, swatches and makeup looks, I noticed (many other women noticed this too) that my desire to buy new cosmetics has increased! I just have to try this new bronzer (forget that I already own 3) and, of course, the new lipstick and mascara made with the ultimate magical formula. Before you know it, you find yourself swamped with too many cosmetics that you don't even use, when it comes down to it. I realized, I have become just another consumer. This new awareness has prompted me to stop and think before I buy; do I really need it? Will I use it? I have stopped running to the cosmetic counter, unless I myself have been researching a product, and I have learned to rediscover and shop my own stash, and fall in love with so many products all over again. very gratifying.
