Beauty Loot


This title is completely fitting because I totally hoard my makeup purchases like pirate's treasure, rarely using the majority of it, mostly admiring it from a far. I have such an addiction to beauty products. Luckily my attempts at finding the "perfect" bronzer or shade of turquoise eyeshadow are not wasted. I may have a few too many Vera Bradley makeup bags full of slightly used products, but at least it has taught me what products are worth every penny.

1. Bare Escentuals powder foundation - $25 (medium beige as my foundation, tan as a bronzer)
2. Urban Decay deluxe eyeshadow - $18 (Paired with a primer it stays put through a 36 hour day. I have it in 5 shades)
3. Urban Decay liquid liner - $18 (Also lasts through a very busy day/night like the aforementioned UD deluxe eyeshadow)
4. Urban Decay skyscraper mascara - $17 (You may have noticed I love UD eye makeup)
5. You may be asking yourself where #5 is....truth is I cannot count and refuse to go back and correct my photoshop work.
6. Rosebud Perfume Co. rosebud salve - $6 (no explanation needed....my HG lip balm)
7. Tweezerman stainless steel slant tip tweezers - $20
8. Ojon rub-out dry cleanser to-go - $10 (I've yet to purchase cause it's always sold out at Sephora and Ulta. Why pay the shipping on a $10 can of dry shampoo?)
9. Smashbox o-plump -$24 (Another one I've yet purchase, but have been drooling over for about......a day. I'm a lip gloss fanatic, and this one looks like a keeper)

Gotta love that big blue and yellow store


Closet systems totally hit my g-spot. I'm 95% positive I'll be living in an APX house with very limited closet space next August, and I'm a little psyched about designing something fantastical to display my clothing, shoe, and accessory collection in. I'll just ignore the fact that I'll probably just end up with a big roll bar and all my shoes will be scattered on the floor; it spoils the fun. Btw it rained all day, and it's so cold, I just had to turn on the heat. WTF, Florida?
