High Quality Makeup Means Some Sacrificing!

After about a month of shopping at Sephora and using higher end makeup and products, I realized how costly it can be! Because it can be so costly, it's always good to let friends and family know about your new love for makeup so they can buy you a gift card for occasions such as Christmas, and your birthday! (I got one for mine :D) Or if you're like me and have an amazing boyfriend, you could always drop a few hints here and there and maybe he will surprise you like mine did! ^-^

I was so beyond happy when he bought me Kat Von D's sinner palette and eye primer! 

I actually want to take a moment and mention him here on my blog! We have been together for almost eight years and he has been so patient in dealing with my transition to higher end cosmetics. This is the very first time that I have been so interested in makeup and he keeps laughing because I have been tomboy-ish for so long and it pretty much came out of nowhere! :P

Anyway, I love him very much and just felt the need to let everyone know how awesome he is because he enables my crazy behavior and spoils me whenever he can! <3

Anyways, because I'm not usually one to spend a lot of money on makeup and I'm not filthy rich (I wish!), I always try to figure out what my wants and needs are and if I can meet those wants/needs and still be able to pay rent, buy groceries, and have a life. 

Even if you have some money to spend at Sephora, you probably won't have enough to buy everything that you want so you have to learn to prioritize. A good example is how I really want Kat Von D's Beethoven palette, but I need my exfoliator more because my makeup wouldn't look as good if I didn't take care of my skin first! It's all about budgeting! 

There have been so many times where I have the money on me, but I remind myself that my phone bill is going to be due so it wouldn't be a wise decision. After some time, you're collection can grow no matter how much money you have! There is always hope! ^-^
