Over the past couple of weeks i have been doing some random shopping before i move to the beach for the summer. along the way i have done some damage in the beauty department and havent done so well in the fashion department. the main reason i have been going shopping is i need a dress for the wmzq concert (a big country concert that comes to my town) and every year i have the perfect dress for it and this year i havent had any luck! but despite my miss in the fashion department i have gone a bit crazy in the beauty department. I have made a few trips to ulta, the drugstore, and sephora since i have been home and picked up a few things. so lets just go left to right:
first i picked up the real techniques expert face brush because i have had my eye on it for awhile so i finally just decided to buy it. i own almost every real technique brush and i can easily say that i use them more than my sigma brushes.
next i got 2 nail polishes a few weeks ago when i visited home and forgot to bring some nail polish to do my nails. they were lookin real rough so i figured i would go buy some to do that weekend. i got opi gargantuan green grape, which looks like a very pale mint green, similar to essie mint candy apple. also i picked up essie in the cab-ana from the new resort collection, i did a post on this recently.
next i got the new cover girl outlast stay fabulous 3 in 1 foundation. i got it in the color 857 golden tan because i'm going to use this once i get tan during the summer. i picked up a pretty dark shade but i know i get really tan over the summer seeing that i live at the beach. i have never bought a drugstore foundation but i currently use the tarte amazonian clay foundation and i feel like this can be compared to this in some way so i'm excited to use it.
i decided to get the new revlon lip butter in juicy papaya after seeing baileys blog post on it, i talk to her on the reg. and i always tell her i'm not a lippy type of girl i usually just stick to chapstick but she was completely in love with this color and after seeing her blog post on it i was too! i hate the color pink (i know how am i even a girl) so i stay away from everything that color so when i saw this color i knew it would be perfect!
today when searching the mall for a wmzq dress i found myself in sephora wandering around looking for the beauty blender, i have wanted it for ages now so i figured it was about time to get it! when i started using make up i used a sponge and actually loved it, it wasnt until about a year ago when i first started using make up brushes to apply my foundation, so why not go back to a sponge.
i always get questions about how i do my hair and this product is literally the only thing i use... herbal essence totally twisted curl boosting mousse. honestly all i do is get out of the shower and use about a handful of mousse and scrunch it in my hair. i would have to say i was blessed with curly hair so i dont have to do much to it.
finally the only fashion purchase i did buy was the vans canvas authentic shoes in pool green/true white. i did a post on this a few weeks ago on debating between this color and another but decided to go with this color because it wont get dirty as fast, although i did notice my shoes had a stain on them so they will be going back asap to exchange with a new pair!
totally forgot to mention that my new 50mm lens has arrived and i will be back to posting regularly (hopefully) now that i have a new lens and i'm feeling back in the groove of things.
