Aargh. I never noticed my undereye circles before, and now that's all I can see! A few months ago, I was at my best friend's house, watching her put on her undereye concealer. She's worn it for years. I have blue under my eyes, just like her (and half the planet, probably), but it had never really bothered me. But for fun I tried some of her concealer. I liked it, ended up buying my own a while later, and now I can't stop. When I look at my regular, un-made-up face, ALL I notice are my dark circles! Now my makeup doesn't feel complete unless I conceal them.

Does this sort of thing ever happen to you? Not just with undereye circles, but with other beauty products or fashion items? It happens to me all the time. Like, one day I happened to notice that my Hunter wellies are about an inch too tall for me. I use them more for convenience than anything, so I don't normally check my appearance in the upstairs full-length mirror while wearing them, but one day I did look properly and realized they are too tall. Now I am hyper-aware of it whenever I put them on.
