The Beauty Diet- how to stop buying so much makeup The other day I came across this quote and I found it very interesting: “He who buys what he does not need, steals from himself“. Pretty melodramatic start for a post about makeup, isn’t it? As I mentioned before (numerous times, I’m sure) one of my goals for this year, is to surround myself with less….. stuff. Why?
