I spent 100 pounds on liquid lipsticks this Tuesday – yupp let that sink in!

So yesterday, I vowed not to spend any money on lipsticks this Spring. Going cold turkey and I believed I could do it!

The next day, I don’t know now but I ended up on the Beauty Bay website and I bought Cherry Blossom. LOOOL I’m trying to decipher how that happened after I specifically, I SPECIFICALLY, said I was going cold turkey. I’m so irate so I thought my doll readers could help me figure this one out! Ok here comes my internal monologue:

Uptight Mara: Why are you on Beauty Bay? You know they have over 20 lipstick brands, C’mon now – get off the site

Relaxed Mara: Relaaxx Uptight Mara, I’m just looking at the website. I’m not honestly going to buy any more lipsticks! I know you keep reminding me about my lipstick budget each month and the 100 pounds – calm down

Uptight Mara: Then get off the site then! There is nothing else to see – you literally have every colour imaginable from light to dark colours

Relaxed Mara: Can you fuck off Uptight Mara? Ahah I’m just looking at the Coloured Raine collection – I’m not going to buy any – just seeing if there are new editions.

Uptight Mara: There aren’t

Relaxed Mara: You don’t know anything. Omgosh look at this red! What’s the name? Cherry Blossom! Damn! I think I’m in love – it’s like a deep red with muted cherry tones. It looks so regal … I should get it because I’m a queen and this lipstick is fitting!

Uptight Mara: Firstly Relaxed Mara, you aren’t getting this shade. Secondly, you already HAVE a deep red. Do you remember Wicked by LimeCrime? You have this colour. Plus your cousin has bloodmoon if you really want to use a deep red.

Relaxed Mara: You can’t tell me what to do. My LimeCrime – Wicked shade is over 3 years old. Why the hell would I want to put some mouldy shit on my lips? And I don’t want to put bloodmoon on my lips – the shade is streaky AF and it’s a cranberry red. I want a cherry red!

Uptight Mara: You need to calm down on the profanities and act like your name and relax. You don’t even wear red- cranberry or cherry! Brown and purple are your main colours.

Relaxed Mara: Shut the hell up – I didn’t use profanities, when did I? And the term is swear words with your bougie arse. I’m getting the shade. It’s good to change it up now and again and experiment with different colours. It’s nice to know you’re still as anal as ever ahaha!

Uptight Mara: Shit is a swear word, have you forgotten? Or is your mind so consumed with lipsticks that it’s incapable to think and reason?

Relaxed Mara: Next you’re going to say Hell is a swear word? Or is ‘Lipstick’ a swear word? Loool

Uptight Mara: Your words don’t faze me – you’re not getting the shade

Relaxed Mara: ………

Uptight Mara: Are you there Relaxed Mara?

Relaxed Mara: …….

Uptight Mara: Ok, I’m going to go now – make sure you don’t buy Cherry Blossom

Relaxed Mara: Ok

Uptight Mara exits and Relaxed Mara is left by herself

Relaxed Mara: LOOL, she didn’t think I would listen to her! Look at the shade – it’s calling me and soon it’ll come home to me. Don’t worry my sweet Cherry Blossom you’ll be mine soon…

Honestly, my dolls, the rest of the conversation is quite hazy to me and all I remember is getting the ‘your order has been despatched’ email. I knew at that moment I had screwed up! LOOOOL

Make sure you comment down below your impulsive spends, I want to know J, and a long prayer would be lovely!
