Tomorrow is Friday, and Saturday is afterwaaarrrddsss

So, I made a "new years resolution" to stop using foundation for all of 2012. And I totally kept that resolution for 99.9% of 2012. New Years Eve was an exception because I was working for 10 hours that night, and didn't want to scare anyone. The reason I decided to stop using foundation was because mine was breaking me out, and I just didn't feel natural wearing it.

Fast forward to February 2013. Tarte Cosmetics came out with some fancy schmancy Journey To Natural Beauty kit. Now, I had heard about Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blushes before and I really wanted to buy one. But to pay like 40-50 dollars for a blush is kind of ridiculous. The longwear was what intrigued me, and apparently it had really good pigmentation. Needless to say, I still don't own one. I can't justify spending that much on anything that small, and I don't really have to money for it anyway.

Also included in the 6 piece kit is their Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation with SPF 15. It's supposed to be oil free, and I haven't heard or read of anyone breaking out because of it. A lot of people with acne or acne scarring RAVE about it being their "holy grail" foundation. According to most people, it feels very smooth and light on the skin, as if you're not wearing a full-coverage foundation. Which, to me, sounds WONDERFUL. So I check on Sephora Canada and see that it retails for $49 a tube.
UM.
No.
I'm sorry, I don't have a full time job that pays me a lot. I have only worked once at my part-time job and still haven't been paid yet! My dad is retired and my mom is self-employed. The only one who could possibly buy this for me is my boyfriend, and he's back in school so he isn't generating any income. PLUS, even if I wanted to buy this kit, or any Tarte Cosmetics for a cheaper price than is sold in Canada, Tarte and QVC do not even ship outside the U.S.

Life is tough haha.
Oh well. I entered AprilAthena's giveaway in hopes of winning the kit, but I'm not counting on winning. Maybe mid-May I can beg my boyfriend to buy me both the foundation and the blush, but I still feel awful asking him for anything.

WHY IS MAKEUP SO EXPENSIVE?
