(no subject)
Okay, who was the genius who let me buy a friggin' holo nail polish and then apply it? Because now I'm staring, transfixed, at my nails and I might possibly whisper, ooh, shiny over and over again because it's like I'm wearing little disco balls.
Ahem.
So, for the first time in years, I didn't bite at AG's Cyber Monday sale. It was 20% off $100+ and I just couldn't bring myself to willingly spend $100+ (because you had to hit like, $150-something to get free shipping after the 20% was factored in) on them. AG's CM sale has frequently gotten me to willingly spend that much without even trying, but it's much easier for me to hand over that much when I'm getting a big ol' box of goodies instead of like, three items. Some people are arguing that yes, but this would be quality over quantity and that's not the point of CM. Also, maybe AG shouldn't be selling shitty quality at any time, so no. I like the thrill of the hunt that always accompanied the AG CM sale. You literally never knew what you would find. Sometimes you'd hit the jackpot and get a whole bunch of historical stuff, or GOTY stuff without the name on it anywhere. You could always find something affordable, and not just affordable for AG but actually legitimately affordable. Every year there'd be at least one thing that made you wish you were just a smidge faster on the ordering or really thankful that you were that speedy. There was always something that, when it was all said and done, you were happy to have snagged. Even if it was just another pair of Ruthie's shoes.
I wasn't even tempted by them extending the sale another day. Okay, fine, I might've been a little tempted if I hadn't spent my fun money on nail polish.
But I did, so I wasn't. And to be fair, I didn't do a good chunk of my polish buying until after giving AG all day to re-think their life choices and deliver an actual sale.
Oh, did I mention which place I did my CM order from? Pahlish had a BF/CM sale and I waffled back and forth before taking the plunge. I've found myself liking quite a few of her creations over the past year and it wasn't until I saw a fair amount of them all together that I realized y'know, why the hell not. I hope the formula plays well with me because I... did not make a small order.
I... should probably go to sleep. I keep spacing out. Also, am I the only one who, when reminded of people I loathed growing up (because they were awful to me) sees them or hears their name and thinks, "nope, still hate youuuuuu"?
Ahem.
