It's time to change

I realised I've been using my make up for a long time. Really. Long. Time. but the amount of make up left is still more than 50% for each item that I'm using and I keep having the thought that I should be changing. But I'm not quite sure.

You know. When you still have more than half left, you don't want to throw. But yet, you know, you've been using it for a long long long time and its about time to change. Just that, not quite sure if it's really time yet. That kind of dilemma. Change equals to spend $$, don't change equals to some fears if my skin will outbreak...

Yesterday, I was at Shaw and pop by Isetan after I've done my work.

I stopped by RMK counter and within 15 mins, got myself a brand new set of face items.Liquid Foundation, Pressed Powder, Loose Powder and a lip gloss. There's was a 10% voucher rebate for the first $100 spent, then 10% voucher for the next $50. I bought 3 items first and I got a $15 voucher which I used to offset the pressed powder on 2nd purchase.

Total damage: $213

But to soften the blow, it came with an array of freebies!2 packs of body and face wipes, body sunscreen, face scrub, make up remover, sample size liquid foundation and also make up base.

Pretty worth my $213 I say.

All together now...A LOT isn't it?!

Went over to Taka after that and I got a brand new eye cream. I've used this item when it was given to me as sample before. It's really effective. But the thing is, pricy too lor. But I was in an indulgent mood and I went ahead to get it for myself.

And I can't resist the Pink Coral! So I got it too.

Total damage: $167

Again, it came with an array of freebies. A pouch, an eye liner pencil, a lippy, a comb and mirror set, make up remover, mascara, moisturizer (I think) and an eyeshadow palette!

After spending close to $400 in 1 hour, my unease got stronger.... is my make up and eye cream really that old to warrant a total overhaul?! This question was at the back of my head the whole night of yesterday and even till now!

And what I did? I went to dig my old blog posts for some clues as to when did I purchase my current items..

The verdict was NOVEMBER 2006!!! Ok granted, I may not have started using it immediately on purchase so even if it's delayed, I would have started using by early 2007. That's still more than 2.5 years ago!!!!

Ok. No more guilt, I'm ditching everything I'm using now! Bye Bye.

I say it's a good thing I blog, at least I have a rough idea when I bought what and when I started using what!
