-156 and counting

I can't believe I have actually gone 209 days without making a single purchase for myself, excluding the couple items on my list of things I CAN buy.  I have bought new running shoes and I did just purchase a new tub of my foundation.  Which is the leading topic of this days post.

I have been using Bare Escentuals Mineral Make Up for 5 years.  I have found it to be the very best makeup for my aging skin, it covers a multitude of flaws, age and sun spots specifically, it is pure and clean, and it lasts a really long time!  The other morning while getting ready for work, I scraped the last bits of powder from the tub and realized I absolutely HAD to make a trip to the store.  I wanted to avoid the Sephora store at all costs and went instead to Planet Beauty.  PB is a local beauty store that carries BE and also shampoo, hair accessories, other brands of make-up and hair tools.  They have a small salon and also have an estetician for facials, brow waxing, etc.  It is a great store. 

I wandered in and decided to not look around or browse, just get what I went for and leave.  I asked for my one tub of of minerals and went to the counter to pay.  The savvy salesperson decided to show me the newest incarnation of brushes from BE.  It is the coolest little thing...I didn't buy it.  In fact, I ended up telling the sales girl and another customer all about my decision to go "Cold Turkey".  I wanted her to know how much I love, love, love the new brush, but I just couldn't purchase it because it is something new.  I was there for a refill only.  Now that was a true cold turkey moment. Behold, the new refillable BE buffing brush.

Love,
