Lead us not into temptation

Why oh why does this year's Neiman Marcus Beauty Event have to fall during Lent -- when I have sacrificed unnecessary shopping? And, is stocking up on products that you use anyway and thus taking advantage of some awesome giveaways and freebies really Unnecessary? Is it a coincidence that I just happen to be out of exfoliator? Please don't ask me to use drugstore substitutes - there are about 5 products that really truly work for my skin and they happen to be available at NM. And I love getting samples and free stuff. And I have extremely weird skin that manages to be sensitive, dry and prone-to-breakouts all at the same time. 'Bout the only thing I don't worry about is wrinkles (thanks, Mom!)
