Ah but you see, I don't very much like to spend either. I just love to buy. I know, it sounds very bizarre but I see it like this. From my mother, I learned the joys of buying. From my father, I learned the fear of running out of money. So I do look like I spend a lot but in fact, I always end up saving quite a bit each month. And that's after having contributed to my RRSP (retirement plan). It's the not having kids or a mortgage and having a double income household...
I AM like you guys in that red lipstick kind of scares me too. I have a couple. One sheer that I can wear everyday and one that I almost never wear because it's so red. I actually look good in red lipstick. Especially if I line my eyes too. I end up with huge eyes and a tiny red mouth. Kind of like a cartoon. But it's just so THERE. Wild eye colours aren't as obvious as red lipstick which is probably also why I love eyeshadow more than lipstick...
For orange shadow, MAC definitely has something. There's Rule but there are others too. Check out the website for ideas and then go to a counter. It's always best to see the shadows in person.
I'm a MAC freak. Something about their displays attracts me. The way the colours are presented, I think. It kind of looks like an artist palette. I think people catch MAC fever because of the variety of colours and products available. The quality is good and the prices aren't all that high. That gets people in a buying frenzy. I made a lot of mistakes when I first got into makeup. I gave away a lot of MAC lipsticks, glosses, and eyeshadows. But now, the fever has gone down. I still love MAC but when I buy something, I know it'll work and I know I'll use it. I'm good also in that I'm very conscious of what I have at home. I never buy very similar colours. I bought a lot of makeup something like a month ago. And I would most definitely repurchase every single thing. If I don't love something, I just don't buy it. It might stick in my mind and I might end up buying it but I just don't purchase anything that's less than perfect anymore.
Oh, one last thing... Josie, you're not crazy. I also like to just look at my new purchases before using them. In fact, sometimes, I don't want to use them just so they stay perfect. I was like that with my Cargo gloss.
