Nine Shades of Shadow

I walked into the drugstore and immediately to my left found what I was looking for. I walked the full length of the wall slowly. From top to bottom there were more lipsticks, blushes, eye shadows, and mascaras than I could count.

I had to fight the urge to run as panic rushed through me. On the outside, I looked calm. On the inside I was screaming, "Amanda! Where are you?! Amanda!" I took a deep breath and reminded myself of Amanda's advice, "When you buy makeup you've got to either buy the really expensive stuff, or the really cheap stuff."

After a short, confused eternity, I settled on a set/case (whatever it's called) with nine colors and high-tailed it to the checkout.

It's impressive how intimidating that was.
