I do not want what I cannot have

Ha! Would that that were so. I want and have so much it makes me feel sick.

In my January cleanup frenzy I trashed approximately five pounds of perfectly good but not quite right red lipstick at $35/unit and still have about 17 shades to choose from in my 'essentials' drawer that I just created. And that's just red. Then there is pink, neutrals, coral.....I have a small downpayment for a condo locked up in lippy.

Every single tube of which was a MUST HAVE at the time, the one thing that stood between me and alluring beauty.

Until I bought it. Then the grail was let loose again and it was up to me to find it.

Why is everything so, so necessary until the moment of "shall I put the receipt in the bag?" and then it loses its power and I need something else?
It is a sickness. One I hope to be cured of. Because Enough is Enough.
