May it be to destress or to kill time, roaming make-up counters has always been a delight. The combination of the sweet fragrances, the bevy of colors and the enthusiastic staff is an upper, indeed. However, one swipe of that lip plumper or luminzing bronzer almost always has me reaching for my wallet.
My brother had a point when he said, "Why do you have 30 pairs of shoes when you can only wear one at a time?". Same goes for the face. Only a clown would want to use all that make-up in one go.
To help you save your money and your sanity (we are obviously spoilt with choice), visit MakeupAlley, which I consider an "online beauty editor". This website is home to a community of users interested in cosmetics—a place where they can praise, bash, recommend and discourage. The web reviews are enlightening and honest, but most of all helpful to consumers who are weighing their buys.
Buying beauty products can be an expensive and wasteful hobby, considering that a lot of us bin it before the supply is over. Reading the reviews coupled with trying it first-hand is a smarter move than leisurely scanning the counters.
I remember how enthralled I was when I saw David Lynch's ad for Gucci by Gucci. I had Blondie's "Heart of Glass" on repeat mode in my mind all day. I couldn't wait to buy the elegant bottle of perfume, but I resisted and consulted online. I ended up not buying it and I am still in search for my next scent.
