retail roadkill
I feel kind of guilty because I spent so much today. First was at the Essenses’ so-called private sale. I bought a Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Gift Set which included a candle, a body creme, and a honey bath all of which are in the yummy creme brulee scent. Now this was really an impulse buy because I don’t really need those but I just love the scent so much. I also bought a Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage which is one of the best concealers in the market. At least that’s what I read in online. Now I do need this. I am not flawless. I have a lot of scar marks so I need a really good concealer as an arsenal. I’m currently using Shisheido’s but I’m not too happy with it. Last purchase from the sale was a pair of falsies. False eyelashes that is. I’ve always wanted one.
My next stop was at the Powerplant Mall. I wasn’t supposed to go there but I had a lot of time to kill while waiting for my sister to come out from the gym. So I went there since I was in the market for a skirt for my birthday. I went to Zara and there are so many pretty clothes there but they don’t fit me. There was one stretchy skirt which is kinda pretty so I bought that. I don’t know if it would go with the top I bought a couple of weeks ago. Next I went to Dorothy Perkins because they have large-ish clothes. Well some are XL and I wear 3X so I could only get the stretchy ones. I saw a nice top and it wasn’t stretch. In fact, it’s snug but I still bought it to motivate me to lose a few pounds in order to fit into nicer, cheaper clothes. That’s the problem with living in the Philippines. If you’re plus-sized (I mean more than XL), you’ll find it hard to look for clothes you like which will fit. Either you have them custom-made or spend a couple thousand pesos because the good stuff are imported (or made here in sweat shops then they export it to known brands. typical third world country problem, ya know).
Well actually that top was the last of my purchases since I don’t really count grocery shopping as frivolous.
I have no idea how much I spent and I don’t want to think about it. I’ll just deal with it when the credit card bills arrive. Ugh. But I’m so happy with my new babies especially the Creme Brulee set. I thought of saving the candle for a better use, like if I want to seduce a guy or something but I couldn’t resist and now my room smells heavenly.
