22 Thoughts You've Had While Buying Makeup

tennessean

You know what they say: "Don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry because then you'll buy more food than you planned." Well, unfortunately, there isn't a rule like that when it comes to makeup. Whether you have no makeup on or went full glam squad, there's nothing that can stop you when you shop for makeup. Here are some thoughts you probably had going through your mind when you shop for makeup.

1. "I think I'm only going to browse today..."

2. "I mean, it's not like I need anything right now..."

3. "Oh man, I forgot that palette was coming out... nope — I'm not going to do it."

4. "Do I need a refill on anything? I might... But I shouldn't..."

5. "Maybe I should refill my liquid liner just in case... You never know when you're going to run out!"

6. "Oh man, that worker's going to come over and ask me if I need any help..."

7. "There are a lot of things in my life I need help with, but I'm not going to open that door right now."

8. "How many brushes is too many brushes? I mean I only ever use the same ones anyways..."

9. "...But this one gives me an airbrushed look. I work hard on my makeup I deserve to look computer generated."

10. "Oh no, this palette has mattes AND shimmers... It's like killing two birds with one gorgeous stone..."

11. "Oh my god that mascara makes your eyelashes so long that they look like false lashes!"

12. "...Oh, those are false lashes..."

13. "Another worker is coming over like I get you guys work on commission but can I please be left to fight my inner demons alone?"

14. "This lipstick is so red it resembles the blood of my enemies... I don't think I've ever needed something more."

15. "Okay, I have to stop. I should just give up while I'm ahead."

16. "...Ugh but that highlighter is so shimmery it could make my face shine as brightly as my personality..."

17. "Ha, who am I kidding my personality doesn't shine nearly as brightly as this... Whatever I'm still going to buy it."

18. "Okay, I am ready to check out. After I grab this lip liner real quick."

19. "Yes, I did find everything okay, thank you! I always find everything okay when I lose all of my self-control."

20. "Wow, my bank account and I were both very unprepared for this trip."

21. "Well, I should be all set for a while now!"

22. "...Huh, that new palette comes out in a couple weeks. I guess that means I'll come back in a couple weeks."

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
