I’m addicted to beauty and it’s always been that way. Ever since I was in high school, I managed to snag the best beauty products, such as mascara, lip gloss, and nail polish, as they became available. Now, I’m 45 and I still need to have the best beauty products. Do I need therapy for this beauty addiction? Definitely.
So I found a therapist I can talk to about the constant need for wrinkle creams, varicose veins treatments, and age spot treatments. I need to have these otherwise I start to hyperventilate and get lightheaded after seeing them on someone else! I once passed out in a department store after seeing that the Maybelline counter was sold out of the latest eyelash growth products! I mean, this was about eyelash growth! I definitely realized that I needed help before it got even worse. Thanks to therapy, I don’t freak out as often over the need to reduce wrinkles and age spots or get rid of all varicose veins. I have a coping mechanism that I do before I hit the mall and stumble upon all the glorious makeup counters with their fantastic beauty products.
When I was young and still had great looks, perfect skin, and ageless beauty, I wasn’t as obsessed as I was now. But since I became older and needed more beauty enhancement, I needed to do more than simply let this addiction slide. Therapy has taken me to the next level of my life.
