Pretty wasteful - why do I buy things too pretty to use?!

This might just be the prettiest makeup brush I've ever owned. It's the Za Kabuki brush.

It's as soft as it looks, yet has enough resistance to apply and buff powder well.  You can even contour with it.  Ok I'm taking all this as gospel based on the 20+ reviews over at Beauty Review.  Because I just cannot bring myself to use it.  It's too cute.

And the worst part of buying this brush, other than knowing I would never use it?  I bought it in a set with a bronzer I didn't need, just because I wanted the cute brush.  

So there the brush sits, like a flower in bloom on my art deco mirrored table.  Which no one sees.  Because MTV Cribs have never asked me to appear.

So, does anyone else do this?  Buy pretty things, knowing you'll never use them? 

Oh and if you want to own the world's most beautiful brush, it's available here.
