Taty's Online Shopping Cycle- Treat Yo Self

It is the holiday season (didn't Halloween just end?) and makeup palettes are presenting themselves all over the place. Yes I am obsessed, Yes I know its a problem, but holiday makeup palettes are like my crack and I only indulge once a year (not really). This is okay.

Right? 

There is one problem that has made its way into my brain and won't leave. Can I really afford this? The answer my friends is NO. I can't. 

Here is my most recent dilemma, which just happened about 20 minutes ago.

I went to QVC.com (curse you) and I saw that Tarte a brand that is well loved is selling a holiday set worth 248$ for 50$. You might be thinking "Taty, that's not true don't fall for that crap" but I priced every single item and made sure the size of the product was the same as if sold separately. It all was true. What is a girl to do?

Well, I’ll tell you this. I haven’t bought it. Yet.

This leads me to the other issue I face. Online Shopping is too hard.  By the time I am ready to make my purchase I have to register, just to find out I’ve already registered. Now I have to remember my password, nope.

Once all of that is sorted I notice that the price has gone up (obviously it’s tax and shipping) but this is where I cave.

That is 7 more dollars then what you are selling me QVC. You Liar!

And then my boyfriend just had to go and say this: 


I haven't decided yet whether or not I will purchase this Tarte holiday set.

If you happen to see a review here soon, you will know the answer.

Wish me luck!

Life Recap- What has happened in the last 15 Months!

This is unforgivable. I have forgotten about my blog the same way I have forgotten about my fish (don't worry he is alive) .
Here is a very brief list of events that have happened since my last blog post.
1) I graduated from college! I dealt with my last exam, paper, etc and got my degree.
2) I moved back home.
3) I got a job, which I happen to really like and I feel really cool, even though I'm not.
4) I moved out of my home and now live with my boyfriend (shout out to Dave!)
5) I went to Hawaii for a week (beautiful!) and California to surprise my boyfriends mom(also beautiful!)

Written down on a list-it doesn't seem like very much BUT these are some big steps for a 21 year to take in her first year of independence.

Now to what this blog is really about : my beauty obsession.

I can honestly say I haven't bought very much makeup that being said, I have been having a major case of makeup withdrawals. I can't  live without it and this blog is just the medicine.

From what I have purchased I have decided to write some reviews take some photos of the results etc. Let me know if you would like me to review something in particular.

Here are a few things to expect:
Sonia Kashuk Sponge Review
NYX Bohemian Matte Palette Review
My lipstick collection / Top 10 Lipsticks
My Blush Collection/ Blushes for each Season

Hopefully by the end of the year I can post a makeup station/vanity how to organize video and a DIY on how to make a Vanity Mirror.

I know this is brief but I will gradually get to writing and posting videos again.

Thanks for reading and I promise not to make you wait much 'til my next post.

Love,
Taty
