The Introvert's Guide To Purchasing Beauty Gifts For Your Gals

My introversion is not quite to THIS level (a comparison made by Julia when the subject of introverts arose), but I’ll bet we like to spend similar amounts of downtime.

 

I’ve only recently learned I’m a introvert (I know, you don’t believe me, but you have no idea how intensely I’d rather be at home, writing and reading the majority of the time). It feels like I’m wearing ON drag sometimes when I have to mingle with strangers all night long at various beauty events. It’s not natural for me and it took me years to be able to do it with any ease. I’m much better in small groups of people I know. Presentations, trips with no down time and a weekend chock-full of plans are hellacious for me, while a weekend of absolutely nothing is NIRVANA. Anywho, as you can imagine, crowds are anathema to me. I’d just as soon shop online for my beauty gifts and here are my favorite cyber haunts to hit up. Check it.
