What Do You Tell Yourself To Justify Your Latest Beauty Splurge?
There's a sale happening at Sephora. You just got a new job, and you need to update your makeup collection. Another makeup brand was just totally insensitive, and now you have to get a new concealer to replace your former fave. Your old mascara from way-back-when finally dried out completely, and you can't add any more water to make it usable. All of these occasions provide the perfect opportunities to splurge on new beauty buys. But let's be real; true makeup junkies don't need a legitimate reason to spend money on that new product launch. You see a shiny gold highlighter, and you have to purchase it immediately - it's simple math, really.
Fear not, impulsive beauty buyer; you are not alone. In fact, so many guys and gals came up with creative ways to justify their respective splurges when we polled them on Facebook. Maybe a finger slipped on the "Add to Cart" button; maybe it's time to treat yourself. Either way, you just added one more God-tier eyeshadow palette to your collection. Who's complaining?
