A Beauty Blogger's Dilemma

I like to buy pretty things, especially pretty limited edition make up items however after a conversation with a friend concerning one item in particular I have come to the conclusion that maybe I'm just wasting money...
Do you recognise this box? I featured this product in a haul a while back which you can read here. Now don't get me wrong I'm not going to pretend that I am sensible with money because I am not, hours after getting paid my bank balance again be back to a comfortable 37p or so and I resign myself to being poor until I next get paid, this is my life I would change it but I like buying myself presents too much. The problem with this particular present to myself? It's too pretty to use!
I'm all up for buying things that I don't necessarily need as I can justify such items by saying that I will use said items. I haven't used this though, so it feels extremely wasteful. 
So ladies (and boys) what should I do? Keep forgetting this I have this little beauty or just bite the bullet and use it?
Decisions, decisions.

    The question is: Do you get any other use out of it, apart from as a blush/highlighter? By which I mean - does it make you happy knowing you've got it? Does it's mere existence cheer you up? Does having it prevent you buying similar things? If it does each of those, it's worth it's weight in gold, no? And maybe the day will come when you don't care about it enough to stick a brush in it. But until that day, I don't see anything wrong with keeping it perfect! x

    Good point, it does make me happy when I look at it and see how pretty it is. Most of the time however I forget I even have it! x

    It's a complete waste not using the product! If you want to look at something pretty then buy an ornament! Just my opinion.

    Fair enough, I didn't buy it to purely look at it I just can't bring myself to ruin the design.

    But it might look even more gorgeous on your skin?!! It sure does look pretty, but I think you should just get your brush in there, and then use every last shimmery bit of it! :-) x
