I get this too. That, and "You don't look that much different with it on." Well, thanks, I guess, but I'm not trying to look like a completely different person using makeup, I just think I look nicer with a little color on my face, and I just plain like taking 10-15 minutes in the morning putting it on. It's akin to wearing perfume, IMO.
gracetre123, I totally agree, my sister used to harp on me all the time about buying MAC, Stila, etc, when she had no problem dropping a couple hundred on a monogram Coach bag (I happen to hate Coach monogram purses and think they are tacky, but I keep my opinion to myself because I know that she gets joy out of it). I took her to MAC earlier this year for the Barbie collection, and now she's hooked and has quite a nice small stash. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
