I went in with a plan, as entering Sephora with no plane and cash to spend is a dangerous endeavour for me. I needed lip balm and a specific make-up brush for eyes. It was an overcast mid June day when I entered, I fought hard against the urge to look at sunless tanners and the latest summer nail polish displays. Focus. Remember your plan Mack! Stick to the plan. Besides I had to make it quick as my boyfriend was waiting outside the store front for me.
I went to the Korres display. And agonized over lip balm tint selections. I have a problem when it comes to colour, my options and making a decision. Be it the colour of a new car, wall paint, sheets or a friggen note book, I am known to spend way too long on the final pick. I suppose it's because I love colour and it affects me.I went with neutral Korres lip balm in Jasmine. Although the lid is pink, it goes on a sheer neutral tone and ooooooh the moisturization factor. Not goopy, stick or glue like, it's butter and smells like heaven; a cross between baked goods and candy with no offensive taste on the palate.
Next over to the eye brushes. I knew what I wanted and snapped it up right away, after taking a few moments to inspect the brushes for imperfections and bristle quality. Sephora's pro line #24 is great for smokey eyes and smudging eyeliners. A specialized brush my collection has been woefully been lacking for years.My last trial...the cahsier line product bins. Damn you Sephora you know the flesh is weak and keep the temptations coming. After debting whether I really need a tube of orange sparkle lip gloss, and coming to the conclusion that I am not 17 nor Kathy Griffen so couldn't get away with it, I made my purchase and left the store with renewed faith in the strength of my willpower and restraint and with full knowledge that I'd won today's battle but not the war.
