In Defense Of Make Up

Controversy on the show today that boiled down to men, women, and how we couldn't be more different YET...the same. Recently, I had to replace all of my makeup and accessories (some say misplaced or some say stolen). I'm talking everthing: brushes, blushes, moisturizer, foundations, eyeshadows....you name it. Price tag for everything...just under $200. While painful, I was proud of myself for getting quality cosmetics at lower prices. The guys on the show, J.R. and Bubba, thought it was OUTRAGEOUS to spend that much money. I did a little online research. Again to my surprise (a little here and there adds up to a lot), the average woman spends $40 to $60 a month on this stuff. Again for the ladies when you stop to think about it, you realize you probably fall into that category. Guys think it's INSANE! Unless it's golf, the game room, baseball, football, etc.

What it all really boiled down to is how both sexes will justify, rationalize, or just lie to spend money on the stuff we want.

Okay so if you have a beauty bargain, now's the time to share! Makeup, while fun, is one of those things that you just cringe when you have to spend a lot of money to get what you want.

Maybe you think I'm crazy to spend that much...well I know you've got a guilty pleasure. Time to confess...where you spend and make excuses to spend.
