2. BUY SOME MAKEUP
Here's the thing about shopping for makeup: all the colors and choices that exist out there will tempt you and you will want to buy them all if you are, indeed, a girl. But makeup is not a cheap accessory. Buy only one or two lipsticks, eyeliners, (or any type of makeup) in one trip, and don't make more than one trip per month. You really won't need more than that, even if you're Ru Paul.Online makeup shopping
An alternative to making that excruciating trip down to your local drugstore (where they've probably run out of the good stuff anyway) is to visit online makeup stores. The thing about online makeup stores is that you have no way of knowing if the product you see on your screen will actually look good on your skin. But if there's a product you can't go wrong with (or you already know you like), online stores often boast sweet discounts and better-stocked shelves. Nevertheless, you should always look into the company's return policy before making your purchase.
Here are some stores to visit:

One last (admittedly preachy) note: Even if you're not an animal lover, take a look at the PETA homepage to make sure your brand of choice doesn't participate in animal testing. No human beautification process is worth the suffering of our furry friends.
