Beauty-full Thursday

The other day I had to go to Ulta to return a shampoo that, hey, I found cheaper somewhere else. While I was there, I did what I always do in a cosmetics store: I searched for my perfect undereye concealer. I have very dark circles under my eyes, regardless of how much sleep/water/etc I get. Eye creams are no help, so I have to rely on concealer in order to avoid frightening any children. I have tried everything from Revlon to Amazing Concealer, and there was only one that really worked for me: TheBalm TimeBalm. Unfortunately, they redid the shades recently and now there isn't one that works on my skin. Awesome.

But yesterday I found IT. I was playing around with a new concealer at the store and applied it to my undereye area. It immediately erased my circles without making me look like a pale, sick raccoon. Because I'd sold another $65 worth of stuff this week, I allowed myself to purchase this wonderful specimen (well, order it--the concealer was out of stock in the store). If I hadn't been on track with my savings goal for the month, I would've had to pass it by. So why am I confessing this concealer purchase to you? Because it was twenty-six dollars.

So maybe I only made half the profit I wanted to. If my circles are covered and not scaring anyone, I'm cool with that.
