We do have it down to a fine art, and we can always manage to justify a pretty top if it's a bargain.

I can't compare to Maybelline I'm afraid because they refuse to carry a colour to match my skintone, but I do think if you forked out for Benefit you might not be so thrilled and I am distinctly underwhelmed. ("But can you ever just be whelmed?")<BR/><BR/>As a chronic spender, I can tell <BR/>you that the exasperated looks from your significant other can get tiresome when you come home with the jacket you HAD to have or 8th top you NEEDED for work... but now I've officially been credit crunched, I think I need to start taking some pages out of your book and refine my spending justifications!!<BR/><BR/>And that was a post all about me :)Melinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472543205195206941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744027002318852528.post-24734967301208130862009-02-06T12:11:00.000+00:002009-02-06T12:11:00.000+00:00Ok, I looove Benefit makeup and I will freely admi...Ok, I looove Benefit makeup and I will freely admit it's cos of the very cute packaging and catchy names. It is however, a little more pricey than your Maybelline et el, so maybe caution is needed...In saying that, I am all for splurgin, esp to celebrate events such as employment! xoxHelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922230879243569468noreply@blogger.com
