I'm happy to announce that I have made it halfway through my giant stretch of shifts and I have 2 more to go before I get a day off. So excited! I was exhausted today. That might have been because when I was trying to go to sleep last night, BF decided he wanted to vaccum at 12:30am. ARE...YOU...SERIOUS!!! Anyhow, I made it in to work, so tonight will be more of an early night because 4 hours of sleep is just silly.
So, over the weekend, other than turkey, ham and roast beef easter dinners with my fam and BF's fam, I managed to swing by Sephora becasue my beauty insider deal was almost over *tear* so I took advantage of the 15% discount. I also had a gift card that I actually found tucked away in an old purse of mine that had $15 (hello surpise!!!) so I thought I would browse around and see if I could find something that I loved.
Since I received my Sigma make up brushes (which I'm planning that post in my next blog I think) I have been trying to look for a nice neutral eye palette to start out with. I don't really wear much color on my eyelids, so I didn't want anything too overwhelming. There is the Naked Eye Palette from Too Faced I really loved, but I'm going to wait until my next trip there because the Too Faced one is a little more complicating in terms of mixing the colors together. I think it actually comes with a how-to manual....lol
Since I absolutely heart NARS, I picked up this eye palette in Belissima. It's a very neutral palette. It has a nice light color with a hint of sparkle for all over the eye, then a beautiful taupe-y/brown color for the crease. I blended a little bit on the lower lash line too and it looks amazing! I'm very happy with this purchase and I love that it has the little mirror with it. I'm a big fan of the mirrors that come in compacts. lol
I also picked up a lip gloss from NARS called Turkish Delight. This stood out instantly. The color is a beautiful pink. It's a sweet color for spring time. I tend to stick to more pink-ish tones when I go on the hunt for a lip gloss. I can't even tell you how gorgeous this color is! One thing I love about this gloss is that it's not sticky and it glides nicely when it goes on. Love this purchase, couldn't be happier!!!
The Smashbox stick you see there is actually a mascara primer. I got it as a free gift from the Smashbox website a few months ago and totally forgot about it. I used it for the first time this morning and LOVED IT!!! My lashes grew a little in length when I put on my L'Oreal Million Lashes mascara and they felt conditioned and oh-so-soft, and didn't irritate my eyes at all.
Do you have any eye palette's or glosses that you adore?? Comment below and tell me or visit my www.formspring.com/colbyavery . I love to try new stuff!!!
When I walked into Sephora, they had the purfumes displayed at the front. I got a sample of Miss Dior Cherie.
It smells amazing!!! I would love to get this purfume along with the Michael Jacobs Daisy too!! Now that I've smelled Miss Dior Cherie, I'm not sure which one I love more. These purfumes are on the wishlist for sure!
Actually, I totally forgot to tell you all, but last week I picked up a mouthwash because it was on sale at Shoppers. It's Crest 3D White Mouthwash.
I also have the Crest 3D White toothpaste from before, so I've been using both and I have actually noticed my teeth to be a little whiter and brighter with NO sensitivity!!!! OMG, I hate whitening my teeth because of how awful my teeth feel while in progress. They seriously feel like they are going to fall out of my mouth because the sensitivity is unbearable!!! Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this actually does work. I've been getting compliments on my teeth and people have asked me if I have been whitening them... what, are you trying to tell me they were yellow before??? LOL.. Seriously, I use the toothpaste first, then I rinse in the morning and at night before bed. This is definitely a rinse I will be re-purchasing. I just bought the small one to try but next time, it's the large for sure!
Lastly, O.M.G, what am I going to do with this mess????
This is my bathroom counter upstairs and I have no where to put my make up and skincare products. Right now they are sitting beside the sink. I need a good organization idea! Underneath my sink I already have my hair products, bathroom tissue etc, that I can't really fit anything else under there. Does anyone know of a good organizational place where I can get pretty drawers or something to get this off my countertop?? I don't want something ugly or bulky, just cute, plain and pretty! But.. I am in serious need of some advice from anyone! This mess consists of my fav make up items, skincare favs and also notice... my new Sigma brushes in the glass container?.. me like-y them a lot!
Please comment below or tell me at www.formspring.com/colbyavery as to what your make up/skin care organization is in your bathroom, or any ideas as to how I can clean this up! BF can't even look at this disaster.
.....HELP!
Anyhow, off to watch Amazing Race. Really love that show on Sunday nights. Hope all of your bellies are full of Easter dinner and I will see you all back here tomorrow. I am dying to talk about my new make up brushes!!
kisses!
Mel
