I'm having a pretty sedate day at work. I thought for lunch I'd get a couple of errands done. I had a small list of things I needed to pick up because I've run out of them. I walked to the drug store at the corner from work and started shopping. As I checked out I was a little shocked at how much I had spent!!! All that for beauty and a clean butt?!! Scandalous. I'm going to have to consider just letting myself go if this keeps up.
What did I get? Well, I needed a new lipstain. Okay, maybe need is a strong word. I thought I might greatly benefit from a new lip stain. As I have gotten "vintage" my lips have lost that rosey hue that the young have. I have to help them out or I swear you would think I had a lip-ectomy. There goes $9.
Then there was eyeliner. I needed that because the upper eyelids have started giving the lower eyelids competition. I see eyeliner as the "line in the sand". If I use it, maybe the upper eyelids will respect that boundry. $$7.50. Since I was in the neighborhood of my eyelashes I thought I'd pick up an eyelash curler. I read online that I needed one now that I'm "mature". $1.99.
I have been getting some sun with all my running. I put on SPF 100 but still manage to pick up a tan even though it's after peak sun hours. I don't mind a tan, but I do mind those sun spots and freckles on my face. Solution? Skin renewal with sun damage reversal! They promise to fade sun spots, even skin tones and make fine lines disappear if I use it. (I will just have to live with the deep lines I guess) It has yet more sunscreen so I suppose I can give it a whirl. $13.50.
All that pretty face needs a pretty smile. My old toothbrush is tired. I have to get the extra soft ones because I'm an overly enthusiastic tooth brusher. ;) $4.
No use having a pretty face if those pesky gray (white) hairs make me look old. I have no real idea what my "natural" color is anymore I've been coloring my hair so long. These days it's just about finding a shade that flatters the last shade I used. I can't use the cheap stuff since it does NOT cover my gray. Something about the gray makes it inhumanly strong and color resistant. $10.
I was just about to check out when I realized that I needed toilet paper. I'm not sure how I've managed to go through so much in just a week, but I'm not going to skimp on it. No single ply. No thin as butterfly wings. I may never be rich, but I'll never be poor enough to buy cheap thin bath tissue. $5.
Add the tax and I layed out a wad of cash at the register, just to look pretty and be clean. sigh Seven small items and only 2 of them really neccesary.
I hope the world appreciates the effort I'm going to to present them a pretty face!
