I hate Sephora so much.

I love Sephora.

Thanks for the input, Sybil

Thanks for the input, Sybil

What is sad is that I feel both of those sentiments 100%.

On the love sephora side: I walk into that store and I am just so freaking amazed and happy and everything smells so wonderful and there are shiny glass bottles everywhere and any vain indulgence I can think of is there.

On the hate sephora side: I am disgusted with myself that I will spend $140 on a 1 oz tube of hair serum and a 3 oz jar of facial cleanser. It makes me feel like such a sucker.

I could never spend that kind of money on that kind of stuff (nor should I), although my wife does!!

Luckily she works for Aveda so she gets pretty much all of that kind of stuff either free or very heavily discounted (I think she gets 70% off products). Not to mention she gets pretty much all of her haircuts and coloring for free. I really don't want to think how much extra money would be spent if she didn't have this job.

Oh I'd love to get 70% off of Aveda. I love Aveda.

This winter I decided I was not going to spend money so recklessly on beauty products. I used 99 cent shampoo and regular bar soap and really there wasn't any noticable difference - but yet I keep buying the expensive stuff.

The only reason I use it is because she forces me to, well that and she gets it free. I'm currently trying some new men's line that just came out (or may not even be in stores yet?). The stuff is ridiculously expensive for shampoo and beauty products. I guess since they make everything "environmentally safe" and its "all natural" they are able to charge more. I do like the way there stuff smells though, its a very clean smell.

Who needs misty herbal rain water crap they sell in the health food store. I use Prell, the hard stuff. A hundred proof - takes your roots out.

I don't think you really mean that. Cheap shampoo and cheap soap are terrible.

How so?

I use 99 cent shampoo and women always comment on my thick, full hair.

Probably has nothing to do w/ the shampoo. But you're crazy if you don't think you can tell a difference between good and crappy shampoo.

Cheap bar soap makes my skin dry and pasty looking.

With cheap shampoo I feel like I'm washing my hair with chalk. It's disgusting.
