I like my wife to look good.
My wife is beautiful. And I want her to look her best since she feels good when she does. Whether she is just getting up in the morning (she is NOT a morning person) or whether we are going out to our favorite fine dining restaurant, I think she is beautiful and I love her.
But when we go to Wal-Mart or Target or wherever and she drops $40 on 2 make-up items that I know she is going to have to replace in no time, I get chest pains. Heck, I'll spend money on Blu-Rays we don't need, candy, fresh fruit that goes bad before we eat it, but I don't think she needs make-up to look good, so this one kills me.
When she buys from Amazon with our monthly set-aside from our budget for groceries and sundries, I don't have to hear the "beep" and watch the price add up as I stand at the register. It's a small thing, but it makes my life less stressful. Besides, Amazon is competitive with ANYBODY on prices. And if the shade isn't right, she just sends it back. Not only that, with Amazon Prime, she gets free shipping, so can order just what she needs when she needs it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive, I just prefer to be in the dark with how much she spends on this sort of stuff. Besides, I say every time, "You get what you pay for" and she buys the good stuff now. I mean, you've seen the majority of people that shop at those other stores and the makeup department is going to cater to them. Most of those women look like the lesson their best friend taught them in middle school to put on makeup is the only one they ever learned--orange? Really?. The cool thing is, as my wife has read reviews and narrowed down what works for her, it takes less makeup to do what she wants it to do. And instead of looking like she is wearing makeup, it looks like she isn't wearing any makeup. Which is how I like her!
