unnecessary shopping

...for makeup!

So there's something out there right now that I kind of want. Key word: want. Not need or "have to have". Just want. If something has the words "disney" or "disney collaboration" or "limited edition", it's going to get my attention. If something has all three? Well, you can bet that I'm going to be looking into it! And that's exactly what this following piece of pretty has...

Disney Cinderella Collection by Sephora
Storylook Eyeshadow Palette

Um, yes please! Cinderella wasn't even my favorite movie or princess and I really want this! Mostly because it is Disney AND limited edition. It's also $55. But I have a gift card for $50. See where I'm going with this? I think a gift card is meant for things you don't need or would particularly buy yourself because it's too expensive. It's free money for goodness sake! Also, there's 20 eyeshadows so it'd be about $2.75 each (granted the eyeshadows amount is really small).

The only thing holding me back is...do I really want it? I mean, yeah, it's pretty and again, limited edition. But maybe I can buy something I'd actually use more. I bought an Alice in Wonderland palette that Urban Decay did a couple years ago and lately, I rarely use it. I've been leaning towards more neutral colors, which kind of makes me sad. I like having fun with colors but I also don't have time in the morning to work on a nice eye look. Anyways, maybe I don't have to buy it.

This collection also came out with a 4 piece lipstick set ($25), an eyeshadow quad ($30), a 6 piece mini nailpolish set ($24.50), a really pretty compact mirror ($20), and a perfume($19-$58). And here's my "why I don't need them" list...
I can do without the lipsticks since I don't wear them enough. 
Though the colors are nice, I didn't really care enough for all of them to pay that much. 
The nail polishes are mostly glitters and I think I have enough nail polish at the moment. 
I can't bring myself to pay that much for a mirror I will hardly use. 
I don't want to buy the perfume without actually smelling it first.

So I guess the only thing I might get use out of this collection would be the perfume IF I like it. 

Hm, I guess writing things out like this helps me decide if I should get something or not. So...for now, I'll hold back and pass. I do have enough eyeshadows that I don't use often enough. I should get through some of those first.

Okay, that's it for now...bye! ♥
