Jennifer, what a great comment. I agree that beauty blogs (for me, a few users on LJ and then the mac_cosmetics community on LJ in particular – and now temptalia.com) encourage irrational spending because you can’t help but want it all! The only way I’m able to curb my spending is by NOT visiting the sites. I know, it’s not ideal, your way is much more logical and rational but at least it’s a means to an end.

The answer is YES. I will never feel like I am “on top” of all the beauty trends. Even trying to keep up with your website is overwhelming! There is just SO much out there!

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed it is saddening. I love your site, but let’s just take this site for example. I generally see at least $150 worth of items on your site each day that I would love to have. It becomes very hard to rationalize and realize there is a reason why I cannot close my drawer with eyeshadows, my two drawers of lipglosses, etc. I wish there could be more information about how to apply, tips, etc rather than just so many new products. Thank you so much for asking. I just want you to know that I do love your site, but it is overwhelming and probably many are in major debt because of beauty sites. I was about two years ago, paid it off and made myself say if I cannot use my check card, I will not get it.

Definitely. Whenever I’m looking for a new item (i.e. a red lipstick) I never know where to start – there are so many options!!

OH yes! There is so much out there! The first time I walked into Sephora I didn’t know what to do or where to look first. It was excitment mixed with an overwhelmed feeling. I still find myself gravitating towards items I have read on blogs or heard about on youtube

I get overwhelmed when so many limited collections are coming out because I want most of it and I have to step back and rationalize. It’s a crazy and tempting world for us makeup girls!
