As previously mentioned, I’ve become a little “obsessed” with makeup. I use that term lightly as I’ve only become interested in it recently. I never used to wear any makeup on my face except the occasional mascara, eye liner, and eye shadow, but I’ve come a long ways since then. Playing with different beauty supplies and finding different ways to accentuate my features is so much fun! It’s like playing dress up every single day. What more could a girl ask for (besides world peace, a healthy Earth, a cure for all diseases, and food for all)? Right now, my collection of makeup supplies is pretty low compared to most beauty gurus, but it’s about 10 times the amount that I had about 2 months ago. The majority of my paychecks have gone to nice, expensive makeup, but, you know what, it’s totally worth it! I’d much rather be broke for a couple weeks than buy cheap makeup that’s not worth a penny. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely have a few drug store brands, but they usually never work out for me – especially foundation. That’s a big no-no, at least for me.
Anyway, earlier this past week I went on a little shopping spree. I knocked some things off of my Needed Nine in November list.
I tried to take a few pictures, but the lighting in my apartment is terrible, so I grabbed some pictures from the Internet:
Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer
It has honestly made my face look flawless. I don’t use it everyday since it can sometimes be too much on my face, as I have incredibly fair skin and freckles, but it gives me a great finish and lasts all day. I think I got a shade darker than I should have, but I try to mix it with other tinted primers that I have to tone it down a little. I’ll definitely buy it again (but in a shade lighter)!
bareMinerals Stroke of Light Eye Brightener
This is my new favorite beauty accessory. I will not leave the house without it! It’s incredibly light, brightening, and beautiful. I usually use a highlighting concealer under my eyes, but the ones I’ve tried have made my eyes feel a little heavy. bareMinerals products are to die for, and this one is a must have!
bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Liner
I actually haven’t tried this yet – I usually don’t wear lip liner unless I’m going out. I’ll definitely keep you updated with how this turns out, but I have no doubt it will be marvelous.
What kind of products are you loving right now?
