feel you on my fingertips

I started my Christmas shopping. Even though I don't really believe in Christmas with the whole fat red jolly man, I really love giving gifts. Mind you I have very little ideas as to what I would like to get people there are a few things I know I'm already getting.

Parents: Movie Tickets and a restaurant voucher. So they can do the date-thing.
Sara: No idea.
Caitlyn: Got her a Tokidori Eyeshadow Palette.
Andie: Doing a photo shoot for her on Friday.
Melissa: Cheesy animal print floor mats for her car. Or some other ridiculous material for her new car.
Sister: Some Manga from chapters.
Kris: No idea, but thankfully she will be okay with it being late.
Grandparents (Both sides): I'm thinking about going to a portrait studio and having a picture taking of my sister and getting it developed. Same for my great-grandmother too.
Amelia: We set a goal for each other. Each person has to go to the dollar store and find one RIDICULOUS item for one dollar. It has to be the most outrageous thing in the store, and then give it to the other. Yay.

In that vein I went to Sephora today, and I was REALLY unimpressed. Not because of how mind numbingly busy it was, but of the prices. I had expected the store to carry high prices, but the prices off the website. I wanted to get this for Caitlyn, but instead of being $35 it was $46! I'm on a very tight budget here, and I could not spend that much! It's ridiculous. Even with the US to Can dollar rate change, there is no way it should be priced $11 more! Instead of the brushes I got her this, which I think is still a pretty good compromise. Even though on the website said it was $25,and it definitely wasn't. Thankfully it wasn't marked $11 more! Even though I'm a person who wears nothing for makeup, I know a lot about it. I'm a nerd and I watch makeup guru's on youtube. Pixiwoo, Lauren Luke, EnKore, MissChevious and Petrilude to name a few. Tokidori is a pretty good quality product, but I wouldn't be able to see myself buying it in store ever again. For their products on the Sephora store, I would definitely recommend. However, if you're seriously contemplating makeup and that sort of stuff get the perfect brush; Mac 217. Blending brush, but it's really good. It is useful in all sorts of respects, and on the Mac website not TOO bad considering how much some of Hakuhodo stuff goes for.

Time to keep trying to figure out what I gotta get for the rest on my listttt.
