I've been on a bit of a product binge this summer, trying to use up various bits of my bath and make-up stashes. However, since my trip to the beach, it has prompted me on a bit of a splurge in the cosmetics department. My various splurge locations included CVS, Sephora, and Ulta. So let's jump into what I have recently purchased and why!
After my week at the beach, I needed to drop a prescription off at the CVS and decided it would be a great time to get a new foundation to test out. (I had deemed this necessary because my regular foundation was two shades lighter than my skin-tone before I went to the beach for a week. I picked up the Fit Me Maybelline foundation in the shade 220 which matches my post beach skin perfectly. This foundation sits on my skin really nicely while lasting all day on me!
There was a deal for CVS Extra-Care card holders on the cosmetics so I ended up picked up The Falsies mascara by Maybelline, which is a tried and true product for me, as well as the Master Shape eyebrow pencil in Blonde (I've noticed that lighter eyebrow pencil shades work just as well on people with darker hair, but just produces a lighter filled in look as opposed to any brunette shades I've tried). I chose the lightest shade because I do light my eyebrows to be filled in, but not too dark or dramatic.
The final thing I purchased at CVS is a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable in the shade Honey. I purchased this after hearing beauty blogger and Youtuber Essiebutton talk about what a fantastic product it is. After the first time I applied this I was in love!
Yesterday while out with a friend, we ended up in Ulta for her to search for a particular nail polish and for me to stare at make-up brushes. I didn't have any liquid foundation brushes and was also curious to try the Real Techniques brushes. I picked up the EcoTools buffing brush and a Real Techniques Trio that include a Foundation Brush, a Powder Brush, and an Eyeshadow Brush. I'm very excited to try all of these and will review them all on here!
My final purchase was from Sephora. The first thing I got, and the thing I was most excited about was the Hourglass Liquid Lipstick in Raven, This is a warm toned red that is perfect for summer and doesn't budge from your lips once it sets. I had been wanted one of these for awhile but couldn't decide which shade. I know I'll be buying more of these in the future, big thumbs up to Hourglass!
The second thing I bought is a face mist from Ole Henriksen. The African Red Tea Face Mist is supposed to work wonders for all skin types with providing antioxidants when spritzed on the face after cleanser. This facial mist smells citrusy and is a perfect wake-up after my morning showers! I haven't been using it long enough to say much about it, but so far so good!
This is all of my recent purchases that doesn't help my make-up buying problem! I hope everyone enjoyed it and maybe got some new ideas of what looks good out in the beauty world!
