This little contest you have going on between you and your BFF is getting exhausting! You're both competing to have the best things and you guys are constantly trying to out-buy each other. Why not just work with what you've got already? Try to make new outfits with the clothes you've got. And instead of one-upping your friend with all that trendy new make-up, stick to the basics (like brown eye shadow). Sometimes natural is better, plus it's always in style.
