Binge: A period of unrestrained, immoderate self-indulgence.
So I get really caught up in work and don't shop - I don't swing by TJMaxx on my way home, I don't go to Sephora to swatch colors, and I don't go to Macy's to play in their shoe department.
And then... suddenly... I buy like a mad horse!
...and it's even worse when I shop online, which let me tell you - I am a pro online shopper now! I find the best deals for department store cosmetics, salon brand skin product, aaand that's where my expertise stops - although, I have been pretty good at finding some fine jewelry too but that's a-whole-nother topic.
Do you ever have this happen to you?
Let me give you a few examples -
SHOES
I haven't bought shoes since black Friday where I bought two pairs of boots. And then - in one weekend, I got Boutique 9 grey suede knee high boots, and two other pairs very similar to each other: warm taupe, high heel, and dark beige, thigh high flats. A few weekend later I thought that wasn't enough so I got some Baily Uggs.
NAIL POLISH
I made myself stop buying polishes because I have near 75 different colors and in all sorts of shades. And also I like to create my own by applying a few layers of different colors (i.e. black base, sheer deep purple top OR flat white-pink base, creamy ballerina pink top). Then, one fine day I come across Zoya's promo code of getting 3 free polishes per order and only paying for shipping. That night, I made three orders - that's 9 polishes in one swing!
You know what they say,
When it rains, it pours.
Tell me you have these binges too, tell me I'm NOT a freak.
