I love my make-up! Lets make a change!

For whatever reason this morning, while I was putting on my make-up, I realized: I really love it! I have spent time and money into building my (small) collection over the past few months. I have spent about 40.00 on the bag itself. Then the contents:

Mirror from Sephora: Free (came with a gift card a so thoughtful and loving friend got for me)
Bronzer Brush from Sephora: 25.00
Full Cover by Paris from Sephora: 30.00
Cover up by Physicians Formula: 10.00
Sugar and Spice blush by Loreal: 8.00
Mascara by Fresh from Sephora: 25.00
Bare Bronze/Victoria's Secret: 18.00
Berry Lip Fusion from Sephora: 38.00
Clinique eye liner from Sephora: 15.00
Brow Brush/Comb: 2.00
Romeo and Joliet nail polish by O.P.I.: 8.00
Rose Quartz eye shadow by Lancome: Free (my auntie's friend works for them so I get free samples a lot)
Emory boards, nail clippers, cuticle clippers and hair ties: ?????
Total (including bag): ~219.00

So I was thinking.... thats a lot of money (for me, at least) to spend on something that I don't really need. And I thought to myself: Geeee, how selfish of me. So What I plan to do is take 100.00 out of my next pay check and 100.00 out of the paycheck after that and donate it to a charity of some kind. That way, I can pay back some of my selfishness to women who are less fortunate. You can help too, in a smaller way of course. The next time you run out of some make-up and you plan on going to buy some more, stop! Take that money and go buy a sandwich at subway and give it to the next homeless person you see or go to the grocery store and buy a bag of groceries and donate it to the homeless shelter. It can make a difference in someone's life. Even if it seems like its something that is too small to do or too little to donate. Too little is a hell of a lot more than nothing. Think about that!

P.S. Did anyone go to www.spreadthesharing.com? Leave me a comment and let me know if you did and I would love to hear your story! I told them about the time in my life when I used to volunteer to make meals for the elderly.

Oh... and I still love my make-up. Even if I have heard that I don't need it! Well, every person who has told me that hasn't seen me with out it so... HA! :-)
