22 Thoughts You've Had While Buying Makeup

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."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
