Whew--so glad to know I'm not alone! And unfortunately, I don't live near ANY good counters/stores, so almost everything I get has to be ordered online, or I have to wait until I can go to the Twin Cities to see my sister. And then I'll make a list because god forbid I drive all the way up there, and then forget to look at something on my list.
Sometimes it's just the fact that I HAVE to HAVE something, or buy it, and then once I have, I don't necessarily want it. Case in point--the Nars palette that Leti got at TJMaxx. I had seen that at Sephora and liked the IDEA of it, then once Leti found it at TJ, I HAD to go look. I found it there, looked at it, and somewhere in me I knew that while pretty, those colors would just not work for me. But I bought it anyway. Used it once and I was right. So now it sits, in the box, unused. That was 30 dollars I could have spent on something else but I HAD to have it. I guess now I know how a smoker/drinker/gambler feels--it isn't necessarily good for me but I can't stop!
