Buyers Remorse. At the grocery store?!

It could happen to anyone, really. You start off in the makeup section with no husband to discourage your purchases and before you know it, you've got 5 or 6 makeup items underneath a heavy, hard to steer, overflowing cart of groceries. It's too late to put back the makeup items & I'm not someone who would hand it off to the cashier at the checkout because I really do want these items. It suddenly didn't matter that the grocery bill was $130 before my cosmetics, I Had to have those items. That was exactly how it happened today, hubby will never have to know but I do & I guess I have a bit of buyers remorse but it's not too bad as it equaled about $12! I left the store sweating, nauseous, & dizzy but the main thing is that I survived. Thank God

I came out of the grocery store and texted hubby as I do every week & he wasn't upset although I felt horrible. I grabbed lunch at Taco Bell and headed home to unload the car, Mr. C is taking a nap so I think I will as well, at night my jaw throbs and aches so I am definitely going to take advantage of a little mid day rest.

In case you're wondering what I picked up:
Revlon Custom Eyes reg: $7.49. on sale: $2.24 & $1 off Revlon coupon
Burt's Bees Mango Butter (to replace my Honey flavored purchase, which is horrible!)
N.Y.C. Smooth Skin - sunny (old favorite that I had many years ago before I knew how to use bronzer)
Oil Of Olay Sensitive Cloths - (i'm horrible about taking off my makeup, so i'm hoping this helps!)

NYX Eyeshadows

Yesterday I made a stop at Ulta as I had a $3.50 off $10 coupon & to take advantage of their NYX buy 1 get 1 half off sale. I had the little guy with me so I went in quickly & picked up a few of the eyeshadows I'd been after. I nabbed Aloha, Rust, Pure Gold, & Peach Bronze; my goal was to find a few dupes for MAC shadows, because in all serious-ness I am a Stay at Home Mom & if I can get something dangerously similar than I'm going for it.  I've heard that Rust is a dupe for MAC's cranberry, & that Aloha is pretty darn close to Mac's Naked Lunch; whether they are or not doesn't interest me too much as I enjoy them all the same.

I already owned NYX Champagne & Taupe, originally I picked them up after falling in love with the colors right on the shelf. Champagne is comparible to MAC All That Glitters for those who care. Once again you will have to wait to see these on the eye since I am currently wearing a different shadow & I couldn't very well wear 6 at once.

It's Friday, how about a two-fer?

Meaning a two-post day, not that I have anything to give away just yet. I just wanted to follow up with a picture for today. The picture is of my lashes with 1 coat of Maybelline One by One, I could've used 2 but to my surprise the product started to clump just the slightest bit & I didn't want to push my luck. I really like the way it helps my lashes look just that little bit longer but still natural so I'll keep this on hand for natural looking lash days. I also have the Instant Age Rewind DCRC under my eyes & I think it does a fantastic job of matching my skin tone & concealing any dark areas, the verdict is still out on whether I am allergic or not.
