What is Done In The Dark


You know the saying, “What is done in the dark, will soon come to light.” Well turns out that crap is a true statement. Who knew? A couple of days ago, I purchased some make-up brushes online from Sephora. What’s the problem in that? I spent the money we had sat aside to get my wisdom teeth pulled.  (Don’t judge me) My plan was to hide the brushes and put the money back before the hubby knew. Well guess what came today... a day early. Yes, the makeup brushes. And it just so happens that we used the front door instead of going through the garage like we usually do. The odds were never in my favor.  Moral of this story: always track your shipments when you are trying to hide them from your better half. You could also say the moral of this story is to always tell the truth. But really, where is the adventure in that? (Just kidding…kind of) Anyways… I got two minutes of “time out”. No I didn’t have to sit on the naughty chair but my husband went two minutes without talking to me. Some may say that is a win-win situation. Ha!

These are the beauties I got for $99. And their regular price is $275! Say what!

Anywho... just wanted to let you know that next week is finals week. Yay! So starting Monday I will be away from the blog and most of my social media outlets. So don’t bother me! (LOL...Just Kidding. I love the attention) I’m so excited because this is my last quarter of coursework. Nothing left to do now but pass the comprehensive exam, complete internship, and write my dissertation. Then it is PhD for me. I think I’ll change my name to Dr. Fabulous. J


Until Next Time.

Stay Fabulous!

****Update, 11.1.12*****
I returned the brushes due to excessive shedding. I think I just got a bad batch. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

  13. Oh, man, you got found out! That does look like an awesome makeup brush set. Well, maybe you learned you lesson about being forthright about online purchases...or maybe not. Hmmmm...
    I always tend to be way too nervous to buy things online, so I don't have too much of this problem.
