Answers:
I love make up as well!. I dont think your addiction is too much of a damage!. Why dont you try to limit your self to only looking at make up for four hours today!. Everyday just lessen the hours!. If you already have the necessaries why bother buying more and wanting more!? Try to concentrate on something else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your are feeling empty inside and shopping and makeup fills you up, so to speak!. Set a budget you can really afford and stick to it!. Make lists of the make-up and skin care stuff that you can buy -- write down the prices on a list and check it off as you buy it!. Once you've hit your budget, then stop and make a list for the next time when your budget kicks back in!. Gather up everything you've bought and put it all on the counter -- in one place where you can see it!. When you have to urge to buy something -- go to the counter and see if you already have it!. If you do, take it out and use it!. Treat it like your own personal store!. Then you should find a therapist you can talk to about your addiction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like compulsive shopping!.!.!.but with only makeup, talk to your doctor about it!. it's not abnormal at all! do you wear a lot of makeup!? maybe its because you feel like you might be missing out on something to make you better and deep down its a self esteem issue!? i dunno, im not a doctor by no means!.!.!.just my opinion! lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you should get some training and become a makeup artist!. Clearly makeup is your hobby, and it's no worse than any other hobby!. If this is what you enjoy doing with your time, work with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
