If you didn't already know, I'm big on making "beauty wish lists". Since I'm poor folk, I can't always hit up Ulta and buy the whole left side of the store. #inmydreams Soooo, when I know I'm going to run out of a product or just heard of something cool that I want to try out, I add it to a little list that I keep on my phone. When I get around to it and happen to be able to splurge on some beauty items, I just refer to my handy little list! And today was definitely my day- I got some awesome deals! So here are some cute things that I've been wanting and finally got to buy...
The first thing I knew I really wanted were these two masks from Freeman Beauty. I first heard of them on YouTube and how they were super effective and came at a HUGE deal- they're only $3.99!! AND today they were buy 1, get 1 free!! SCORE.
I'm so excited to try them and will definitely do a review here soon!
The next thing I stocked up on were my Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation Powders. I hit pan on my current one, so I knew I needed to pick one of these up...except, I got 2 because it was buy 1 get 1 half off! Love it!
I wear this in shade Nude Beige and I've said it before- these are definitely a holy grail product!
Another item that I restocked was my Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray.
I decided to get the travel size one because I think Urban Decay may have raised their prices on these guys a little bit. When I bought my first one (which was like, last summer!), I remember it being around $24 or something, but today I saw they were $30!! I was like nuh uh! So I opted for the travel size one, which only came in at $14.99. That was a lot nicer on my wallet. This'll be my first time using the All Night formula, since I'm used to the Oil Control one, but I've heard this one works even better, so I'm stoked!
Annnnd one more item that's always a staple in my vanity- makeup removing wipes!
To be honest, I'm not super partial to a brand, but I have used Burts Bees a few times and I do like them. My last ones that I just ran out of were from Olay and the one before I think was from the brand Simple. So I'm really just kind of all over the place when it comes to wipes, but I do look for the following:
1. Best price point.
2. Gentle on my skin.
3. At least 30 wipes.
Sometimes I will spend a little more on a different brand if I know it has a super gentle formula or if it's for sensitive skin. I feel like those kinds of products are worth the extra $0.75 cents. :-)
Now, the last couple of beauty products that I bought today were actually from Bartells, but I wanted to share, so I'm just going to sneak these guys in...
I'm sure you already know that a hot lip color this season is definitely a red-orange hue or a red-coral shade. I've never been one who's been great with lipsticks, but lately I've been wanting to get out of my comfort zone a little and try something new!
The packaging.
A closer look!
Presenting NYX's Matte Lipstick in shade Indie Flick! Now, I know that because of my camera's flash, it looks a little tangerine-ish, but I promise that it's definitely more of a red-orange color. If you scroll up, you can see I'm wearing in my opening pic. :-)
Lastly, I got this super pretty minty shade of nail polish from Essie called Fashion Playground (too cute):
It does look a little gray because of my flash, but again, the true color is more of a mint. :-)
And that about does it!! What products have you girls been crushing on? What is your must-have for Spring? Let me know in the comments below!
Love. Peace. Buttermilk biscuits.
