Why Oh Why Did I Even Look At The...

email from Morphe Smiley Sad  They're having a sale and freeshipping on all orders for two days.  This is the first thing I saw.  Was $26, now $15.60  I don't need it!  I DO need intervention Smiley Surprised

Your posts make me smile...and I enjoy the beautiful makeup.

 

When I wear eyeshadow, I wear a pale taupe..one tiny little compact I've had for years.  I love color, but my life just doesn't lend itself to makeup.

 

However, I do enjoy seeing what you love, so I cannot intervene Cat LOL

After awhile, I would think all the e/s palettes look alike. Wouldn't there be a point when you're reordering the colors you already have? At least I would feel that way. Maybe the texture is different in each palette, but I can't tell from the photos.

An enabler.  Great! :/  You know, I'm NOT going to buy it Smiley Happy  I have two palettes from Huda that are being replaced because they showed up damaged.  That should feed my addiction for a few days.

Oh, and thanks!!  I wish I could keep up the same pace but I'm out of drawer space Smiley Surprised

@monicakm   It is evident that your calling is to be a make-up artist.  Have you ever thought of getting whatever degree is necessary and applying, perhaps, at the studios or starting a You Tube channel?  This is clearly your passionSmiley Wink

Oh no!!!  They don't all look alike.  They're each different in their own way.  Sure, there could be some dupes here and there but they are overwhelmingly different.  That's a really good price.  I only have one other Morphe palette and I like it's quality.  I don't know if the quality is the same across the board tho.  Maybe...

LOL, well you're the 3rd person that has suggested this.  If I thought I could buy Lambos and a mansion or two by being a YTer, I'd do it.  It's insane the amt of money some can make.  But no, I haven't considered it.  This is my #3 passion.  My first is AI technology followed by construction/architecture.  I'm too old to start such endeavors (said no successful entrepreneur ever).  But thanks for the vote of confience!

Here's intervention...

 

This sounds like it would be an emotional purchase rather than looking at it realistically.

 

Would you use all those colors?  How many?  Is it worth buying just for a few colors?  Is the sale price and low shipping a lure you can't resist?  

 

I'm seeing both cool and warm colors.  It appears to me they used both to appeal to a wider buyer audience to sell more.  I think offers like this are gimmicks.  

 

For $15.80, depending on the brand, you could get 1 color or 2 or 3 that you know is best for your skin and hair color.

It’s pretty, but I can’t remember the last time I liked anything I bought from Morphe. The quality is pretty inconsistent.

NOT being a smart aleck, but why don't you just stop buying makeup for 90 days and use up what you have?   

 

Based on other posts you've made, I doubt you would run out of anything completely in three months' time, and would reduce your "inventory".  After all, we all have only one face.  Woman LOL
