I hate shopping online. I hate it so much, in fact, that I simply don’t do it. Ever. Which for the most part works out just fine, because I actually love spending my weekends traipsing around the shops, searching for the things I’ve seen on Pinterest or someone’s blog. It’s a hunter/gatherer thing, I’m sure - some kind of evolutionary waste left over in my psyche that I no longer need, but that sticks around anyway. Online shopping just doesn’t give me the same thrill.
However, on occasion, this apathy towards clicking ‘Add To Cart’ does cause some inconvenience. Like this palette for example, The Blush By 3 Palette By Sleek, in Pink Lemonade. I knew I wanted it a while ago, after seeing it on various blogs and then swatching it for myself in-store. I made the mistake of not buying it right away, and when I did come back to get it, surprise surprise, it was sold out. So I checked every Superdrug in Cardiff (which sounds impressive, but there are only two) over multiple shopping trips, and still, nothing. Finally I gave in and went to Boots to cheer myself up, where I spotted a Sleek concession that MOST DEFINITELY HAD NOT BEEN THERE BEFORE. I did an embarrassing little dash for it, managed to snatch the last palette they had left, and dragged it back to my cave to be used. Okay that sounds wrong.
I’ll be doing a few new make-up posts using this, so stay tuned to find out what all the colours look like! The middle shade, Macaroon , is the first cream blush I’ve owned in years, and I’m totally in love. Let me know in the comments if you like shopping for make-up online, or if like me, you have to hunt and gather.
