Chantecaille The Coral Reefs Palette


(If you haven't already, don't forget to check out my blogiversary giveaways.  You can read about #1 here and #2 here. Thanks to everyone that's already entered!) 


In most cases, I subscribe to the "You get what you pay for" school of thinking.

I don't mind paying a little extra for something -- whether it's makeup, clothing, a bag, hotel, restaurant, etc. -- if it's high quality.

If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you know that I clearly don't have an issue paying for high end makeup. (Now, don't get me wrong -- there are plenty of high quality drugstore or lower end items that I love too.  I just have plenty of favorites that are a little more pricey.) But even I have my limits.

I love the Makeup Forever HD Foundation -- it costs $42, which is certainly pricey, and it's probably my holy grail foundation.  That's why when I see a $60 Giorgio Armani or $55 YSL foundation, I wonder how much better it can really be to justify the $20 or so different in price.

I'm not willing to spend that extra money and find out, I guess.

The only time that I splurge on those super high end brands is when I have holiday/birthday money and gift cards because I feel like gifts should be used to treat to yourself.
