When I see makeup – whether in a store or online, I get unnecessarily excited and feel compelled to buy something. All those pretty colors! It’s like I’m five again, going through my mom’s cabinet of creams and pressed powders. I don’t even have to be out of my previous product purchase before the desire for more garish gunk stirs deep within me.

But I realized today (as I oohed and ahed over the Vice palette by Urban Decay), there’s something even worse than buying more crap before you’re through with the other crap you already have. And that’s this:

Smokey Nude. So safe.

Ugh. “Vice”. What a fitting description for my makeup addiction to colors I don’t use. What is my problem? Do I just like having these palettes to have? To look at? Like some Mary Kay equivalent of a rich man’s library of rich mahogany and leatherbound books he never reads?
