I’m not the only one who gets a tremendous rush from knowing that I’m going to buy some new beauty products, am I? That feeling of walking into Farmers with money in your pocket, and there are so many shiny things competing for your dollar. I’m only two beauty club points away from a $20 voucher as well, and so I think I need new lip gloss to wear to Webstock. I have been loving my Rimmel Vinyl Max lipgloss that I have in purple, so I think I need a red one as well. It’s easy to apply (although I do get it everywhere), and is a plumper, so it’s tingly and fun. I know it’s ridiculous to be turned on by material things, but I gotta get my kicks where I can, y’know?

What gives you

a beauty rush? Is it thinking about dressing up like Paula Abdul and making out with Keanu Reeves? Is it going to for a haircut at Rush? Waiting for packages from StrawberryNet or Gracie Lou to arrive? Seeing Rush-ia from your house? So many ways to get a happy on! I think buying cheap beauty products for a cheap pick-me-up is okay, but I have also been loving the rush of getting to use a friend’s nailpolish (Rainbow Connection!), and sharing mine in return. You both get new things at no cost to yourself! And speaking of which, I’m thinking of organising a fatty boom clothing swap in March. Who’s in?
