I had an eye infection. If you've never had one, here's the gist of what happens... your eye hurts, you go to the doctor, you use antibiotic eye drops, you go without a contact lens for a week, and POW you're good to go again. Easy breezy beautiful.... right?
But hold up a second Cover Girl. That is not the end of the experience. You then have to dispose of all of your eye makeup and then repurchase new stuff. Because I'm a low maintenance girl, for me that is only three products: mascara, eyeshadow, and eyeliner. I went to replace these three products from the beauty-store-galore, Target expecting to pay around $35 total.
However... there seems to be a conspiracy in the beauty aisle because.... the eyeshadow I love... the one that looks perfect on my eyes... that makes me feel cute... is no longer. The product has, apparently, been discontinued. Why? No reason. My simple pack of three perfect colors has been replaced by a pack of ten colors - some of which should never be on an eyelid, each portion of which is tiny and crammed in tight next to the others. I'm not spending $11 on that.
*sigh*
I went on a hunt and tried to find, amongst the other brands, a shadow trio that was similar to what I had. I thought that I found one... but when I brought it home and used it it was horrid! It was... sparkly. Like my eyes were all a-glitter. Let me just advise... if you have ANY eye wrinkles what-so-ever... adding glittery eye shadow is like putting a big arrow straight to your crows feet. Plus, glitter is for crafts, not eyeshadow.
Back to Target, repeating this buy, try, be horrified... process. And as you can imagine this starts adding up financially!!!
Is this a conspiracy? Could it be that all of these makeup companies are in cahoots with each other and do this constant discontinuation of products intentionally so innocent people like me end up buying a lot of new stuff from various brands trying to find something that works?
Has this happened to you too? Because this is not the first time it has happened to me!!!
What's your thought... conspiracy... or do I just like products that are unpopular?

It's a conspiracy. Target also started selling cherry slurpees...that are white. WHO WANTS A WHITE CHERRY SLURPEE? WHERE IS THE DEMAND FOR A WHITE CHERRY SLURPEE? Ridiculous. You know who DOES serve red cherry slurpees?? Kmart. And NO ONE shops at Kmart. This world is falling apart, I'm going to bed. Oh, yeah, right, sorry about your makeup.
