Have you ever purchased something that was "name brand" or expensive only to realize later that it was utter crap?
I bought an Urban Decay essentials kit and it came with their "cult favorite" Midnight Cowboy eyeshadow. It looked very pretty in the package. A kinda pink based neutral champagne/beige. Opened it up and tested it on my hand. GLITTER GALORE! Not shimmer. Not micro glitter. CONFETTI countable chunks of glitter. And by itself, Urban Decay charges $16 dollars for it. Totally not worth it when you can get preteen glittery makeup for 99 cents. |

I still need to find the perfect white T-shirt, and I tell myself that I'm willing to pay any amount for the absolute PERFECT one, yet when I'm in the store, I find it so hard to pay over $20 for a white T. Quality is one thing, but if the garment itself is sort of mainstream and not unique, paying a lot may sometimes be unjustified.
But damn paying $16 for glitter is not justified, since most of makeup's costs come from the pigment itself and not filler glitter. Fall-out must be insane. |
