A little while ago, I thought it would be a great idea to make a list of up to ten things that I want to buy that month. I usually get stuck wanting a few things but wasting my money on something unnecessary and end up kicking myself for it. For example, a few weeks ago I needed to go down to Chicago for an interview and needed to make sure I saved money for gas, lunch, and fun. Instead, I spent $50 on Jameson for a Halloween party. So, to try and solve this, I’m going to start making a list of things that I’m “allowed” to buy that month. Even if I don’t get around to buying them all, it might encourage me to think twice about spending a good chunk of my paycheck on whiskey.
Since this month is November, I’m going to come up with nine things that I want (for alliteration purposes, of course). This month is all about beauty – I just can’t get enough!
1. Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
I never use primer, and I really need to start wearing it. My face needs extra moisturize, especially during the winter months. Plus, I’m incredibly pale and a little extra color wouldn’t hurt! I’ve heard so many great reviews of this product that I think it’s worth a shot! Tarte Cosmetics is my FAVORITE makeup brand. Not only is it great quality, but it is also animal friendly!
2. Tarte Clay Mineral Bronzer
I have this same thing in a powder, and I LOVE it. I would really like to start wearing a bronzer and contouring, which I haven’t ever done. I’ve seen this product on other people, and it looks so flawless! Anything from Tarte is a great investment.
3. Urban Decay Naked Palette
Obviously, this makeup palette is a must have in every girl’s kit. I can’t believe I haven’t invested in this already. I think if it was half the price I’d have this palette and the second one! I love the color options, and they would DEFINITELY look great with my skin tone :]
4. Sigma Brushes
I don’t have only one picture for this one… I want them all! I’m thinking about even buying a kit. I would like to purchase some of their vegan brushes, as I try to only purchase makeup that are animal friendly, especially cruelty free. However, I’ll definitely need to go in store to take a look at everything. Online photos can only do so much! I’ve never had nice brushes before, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!
This is one of the Essential Kits that I was thinking about. So pretty!
5. Anastasia Beverly Hills: The Pro Wax Kit
I have some pretty bushy eyebrows, and they are hard to keep on top of, to be honest. For some reason my eyebrow hair grows back so fast! I try to get in semi-regular wax sessions, but I tend to wait too long and then get stuck tweezing every morning. I’ve been looking for an eyebrow kit for awhile, and I think I found the one! (Though, I should just go to a salon…)
6. Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow
Even though I have big, bushy eyebrows, there are still some areas that need to be filled in. I’ve been watching a ton of YouTube videos on eyebrow makeup, and I’m ready to make that next step. I’m not sure what I should use on my eyebrows exactly, so I’m open to comments and suggestions! Keep in mind my eyebrows are incredibly dark.
7. Bare Minerals Original Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15
I currently only own one foundation from Tarte – which I love – but I’ve used this foundation before, and it is incredible. It has such a great finish to it, and it never dried out my face. There are so many shades that everyone can find one that works for their skin tone. It’s award-winning and is a pretty good price!
8. Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipliner
This lipliner comes in ten shades, and they all look marvelous. It’s almost creamy to put on, which is great for my dry, cracked lips. Plus, it has long-lasting wear. What could be better?
9. Glo Solo Teeth Whitening
I really want to whiten my teeth. I’ve always been afraid to do anything but simple drug store strips, but those don’t seem to work on my teeth. I think it’s time that I up the ante and try something more serious. I’ve seen some great reviews on this product, and I’m ready to take it to the next step.
Please share your comments and suggestions! I’d love to hear other products you’ve tried and loved.
