The real question is, why are you spending $700 on makeup?

She wants to make another baby! Why else?

it's possible she accumulated it over a period time or could even have a job or side gig as a makeup artist.

If its their money, so what!!

She’s ugly

We all spend our money on things others would find silly. Over time, it adds up.

they might be either financially sound or it's make up they collected over the years. adds up

It definitely accumulates!

Setting aside the fact OP may be a makeup artists ($700 is bare minimum for a makeup artists box though) Eye shadow Palettes range from $20-200 depending on brand. High quality lipsticks range $20-60, Foundations $20-80. We have multiples of foundations for different seasons, Palettes for different colours, Primers, Blushes, Highlighters, Contours, Mascara, and every variety of that kind. So many colours and that doesn't even touch on the Brushes for them all!

Higher quality makeup lasts longer and works better.

Same reason why you buy higher quality clothes over Walmart brand. If someone lost $700 in clothes, that could range from 20 outfits(cheapo) to 4 outfits (expensive).

YDI for buying $700 worth of makeup from Sephora !

Because it's her money and she is free to whatever she likes with it?

But Walmart brand is no worse, you’re just paying for the label.

Because it’s free speech and people are allowed to question people’s decisions?

Take it as a compliment - Your 2 year old thinks you look beautiful without makeup!

I sympathize and yet I don’t. I have a toddler so I know about this particular force of nature. I also know that when she gets into things, its usually my fault for not locking it up or laying down the law.

100% Agree. I have two boys, and all it took was them being able to stand and reach the edge of the counter to know to lock everything away. They are curious, they want everything mommy and daddy uses. Those fancy brushes and boxes holding powders and creams? It's like a magnet for them. I feel bad for OP. That's a lot of makeup gone, and I'm sure a lot of palettes!

omg, I'm about to cry for you!

YDI for having $700 worth of makeup. That's more than a monthly house payment for some people.

Good makeup costs money, don't slam on people for choosing what they want to spend money on. It's not $700 a month. An eye shadow palette lasts years, You buy in what new colours or brands you like. Lipsticks, Mascara, Primer, Foundation, Everything adds up. I could say the same for people who buy a Video game monthly. $60 a month for a year is $720.

If you want quality makeup, it is NOT at Sephora...
I'll bet it was laying out all over the place.
Should have spent some of that on baby proofing.

My makeup stays in a lock box in the bathroom and it was bought for me by friends and family as gifts

I dunno what happened to my "you deserved it" button (they changed it, but brought it back, now it's gone again?), but you do. You have a 2 yr old and didn't properly store your $700 product. If it was where she could get into it, "but she's in her crib!" or not, you dun goofed.

Calm down jessi slaughter,

why is it in the kids reach. if swallowed it could be dangerous..sorry op but you definitely deserved it

Serves you right for leaving it where your kid can get to it

Slow developing kid if it needs a crib, and you must be fugly if you need that much make up

most children stay in a crib until they are 3 but she may even have a convertible crib that can transform into a toddler bed that has lower railings. Obviously if the child is getting out of the crib though, he or she is not underdeveloped.

And there's nothing wrong with sleeping in a crib. I slept in one til I was like 5 cuz I was small enough to fit in one, but easily climbed out of it every day for a few years

I mean, at least your kid is ok, right. Kinda more important

I was happy it wasn’t cleaning supplies which are kept in a cabinet that is completely child proofed
