I am mad cheap. And by "cheap", I mean I will literally tackle small children, the infirm, and old people out of my way in the aisles of CVS if it means I can get glorious bulk nail polishes for half off. The side effect of being this cheap is that I have an internal geiger counter tuned specifically to detect high-end walletfuckers instead of radiation, and it also causes me to gracefully vomit fountains of acidic blood. This is normal. I am a normal person.
Being normal, it means there is a lot of stuff I would rather spend my money on than expensive cosmetics. Let me show you some.

Would you rather be a person who owns a Deborah Lippmann nail polish, or a person who slips around in 75 pounds of pudding in their front yard?
I know my answer.
i love this post, probably more than i can even express
ReplyDeleteYou have just made my entire day a little brighter.
ReplyDeleteROFL! You Rock!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could "like" this....I want pictures of said pudding fun!
ReplyDeleteWill I be flogged if I say I would like both? :)
ReplyDeleteThis post caused me to follow your blog lol
ReplyDeletehaha wow, my first thought: "where the hell did i get linked from?"
ReplyDeletethank you, guys!
@Sarah: shhh, no words. only pudding now.
@Pointless Cafe: NO, IT IS YOU WHO HAVE MADE MY DAY BRIGHTER
@Shelly: thank you!!
@Kharizmarae: it would involve me in a bikini, and trust me, ain't NOBODY on the internet wanna see that.
@Andrea: no! there is no corporal punishment on this blog, however there are fines and potential jail time. (but seriously, i would literally, unabashedly, stone cold kill a man to have that lippmann polish i linked--it's amazing, and there's nothing quite like it--so i think the ideal scenario would be "get that lippmann polish for free somehow, put it on, and then barrel roll down a pudding slide".)
@MyLife101: thank you, and thanks for the follow!!
LOL love this post so much!! Following
ReplyDeleteBest post ever. I can't even handle all the awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteLinked you on my fb page. You are seriously Awesome! Adding you to my blogroll too. People need to hear this stuff. I seriously giggled to myself every time I thought of this post today. :) Two Thumbs Up!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I love this.
ReplyDeletewhere are you all coming from???? how do i people?????????
ReplyDeleteyou guys are the best! thank you!
Haha, this post is the best ever. But you know, I don't think you're cheap ! Even though this is an amazing polish, I refuse to pay more than 10$ for a bottle of nail polish. I even try not to spend more than 5$/bottle when I can ! ( well I guess I'm cheap )
ReplyDeletehaha, high-five! sisters in cheapness!
Deleteand yeah, i've got that same $5/bottle limit, though mine is a hard stop; i try not to go over $3 and refuse to go over $5. unfortunately this locks me out of the whole indie scene and a lot of nice brands/colors, but also turns "how cheap can i get (x)" into a fun bargain-shopping game. it's pretty surprising how many really beautiful polishes can be had for under $3, and also how cheap you can get nicer polishes.
This is fantastic! I as someone who is admittedly kinda cheap (also kinda broke) this really made my day!
ReplyDeleteSo funny and great mental image!
