I thought I was the only one who did this-this happens when I shop at wal-mart-o.m.g.I sometimes never think I’m going to get out of there-I just run in for a few things and boom-my carts full!!!!

Ha Ha… seriously… it kinda is. I live within walking distance of Rockville Pike. Which is a major thoroughfare and has like a zillion shopping centers. There are really two that I typically walk to in decent weather and CVS is right across the street from one. Really if you are an industrious walker there are so many shops w/in walking distance. To put it in perspective there are 2 malls w/in 5-10 minutes and another 2 within 15…and that doesn’t count all the strip mall shopping areas. I love it…except for during the holiday season. I don’t even want to go outside because traffic turns into a nightmare. Although Rockville isn’t the same as DC, the area is really populated, and it’s in Montgomery County…which is pretty affluent…so there is $$$ to be made…

ha. I can so relate to this. Target, Walgreens, and Longs are huge danger zones for me. I love Jordana eyeliners (I use Eggplant) and Walgreens is the only place I can find it. I also like the fact that some of the larger Longs has expanded their selction of skin care products to include Vichy and Avene and some other French and European lines. There’s even a skin care ’specialist’ who can help you choose the right product for your skin type. I was in Paris a few years back and you can find wonderful mid-to high end skin care products like Darphin in regular pharmacies, so I’m glad to see more of a selection in drugstores. And drugstores ain’t cheap!!

Hi Hana,

It’s pretty, yah? Have you tried it with a base underneath? I’m thinking that since everybody is telling me it’s not very pigmented I’ll use something like MAC Cream Color Base in pearl to bring out the beautiful green shades.

Hi Megan,

That discount would have me drugstore hauling often! And girrrrrl, is every store down the street from your house? J/K!

I haven’t used my pen yet (sigh!). I barely wore any makeup today because I was running late. The next full face I do it’s ON! I usually end up making mascara mistakes, so I hope it works well!
