In general? Absolutely.
By me? Yep!
I have to wake up 2 hours before I leave for work in order to shower, do my hair, put on my makeup, and eat breakfast….and breakfast takes less than 5 minutes, if that’s any indication of how long it takes me to get ready. The only time I’ll leave the house without makeup is if I’m going to the gym or a quick run to the store. Makeup is essential because, without it, I’m incredibly plain Jane, which I hate.
I could easily spend $500 on makeup in one trip. I recently spent $70 at E.L.F., where products are only $1–6, and that’s with 50% off. My BB cream, foundation, and concealer come from Clinique, so each product is about $30. I also buy a lot from Sephora and Target. Not to mention hair products, flat irons, and trips to the hair salon ($45 for a dry cut).
I don’t have a whole lot of shoes, though. I have one pair of sneakers, 4 pairs of heels, 2 pairs of flats, and 2 pairs of flip-flops. I’d love to have more, but my husband would have much to say about it. Now that I’m working, I’m sure my shoe and clothing collection will grow exponentially.
Is it too much? Yeah. Will that change? Nah.
