Eh, I think buying lots of make-up is more common in general than buying anime merch, and more folks wouldn't bat an eyelash at a woman with a big make-up collection, than at someone buying cartoon figurines. Just general people out there who aren't into fandom and/or don't even know such a thing exists, not to mention anime (and there's loads of people like that), would be less surprised at a make-up table full of make-up, than shelves upon shelves of "that kiddy cartoony stuff you were supposed to grow out of years ago". It's just how people in general think about cartoons.

Sure, it doesn't matter what other people think of your hobbies (though to a lot of people, opinions of others are important if not crucial, let's be honest here, because not everyone has high self-esteem) but one would have thought your friend would be aware of the whole "women liking and buying plenty of girly things is nothing out of the ordinary, it's often even expected, but women liking little toys from cartoons, aren't QUITE as common" thing, you know? Instead, she dismisses you doing something a lot of women do anyway! Wow, how edgy.

I'm thinking she has some hidden issues. Maybe she'll get used to make-up when she's older, who knows? I only started wearing it at 19, though that was over a decade ago, and girls these days buy make-up much earlier in their lives, and there's loads of cheap teen brands. Now that I have my own money, I swear by Dior because once you try quality brands, you can't go back. :D

(Though I seldom watch anime these days, I did buy shoujo manga as a teen, so I'm in no way dissing anime merch, before someone jumps on that. I just like other things more now. Hobbies can change!)
