    I've been a bad, bad blogger lately...

    So what better way to help force myself to update than a month long challenge?

    30 Days of Blogging

    Mini Hauling...

    It's been quite some time since I've actually bought anything for me... since I've been working, I've only been paying for bills, groceries, and other necessities like food & gas.

    Buttttt... the other day I was able to buy myself a very little sumthin' sumthin'. Originally, I went to Walgreens to buy the brush kit that Tammy was raving about. To my disappointment, either my neighborhood Walgreens sold out of the set, or they just suck and never sold it.

    Anyway, bummed but refusing to go home empty handed, I grabbed these:


    Photobucket
    I'm always on a look-out for a good volumizing spray and setting hair spray. I got these BOGO. I haven't put them to the test yet. But if anyone is interested in how these perform, just let me know and I'll be sure to update you!



    Photobucket
    Originally, I was eyeing the palette that Tia did a tutorial on recently, but when I saw it in person, I realized that I already had similar colors which I still have yet to use. So I figured if I bought it, I'd be wasting money cuz who knows if I'd be more likely to use it then. Still, Tia's look is great so I highly recommend getting either this palette (which is called "Greed") or the pallet she has (which is called "Vanity") because they're very pigmented and definitely worth more than the cost (approx. $5-$7!!!). The sparkly side really isn't all that sparkly for these colors, my flash is kinda exaggerating it, it's more of a light shimmer in person.



    Photobucket
    I had no intentions on buying a primer or foundation, but since these were packaged together for less than $8, I couldn't help but give them a try.



    Photobucket
    This is the primer, looks really peachy at first...



    Photobucket
    But when you smooth it out, it matches your color and pretty much disappears!



    Photobucket
    This is the foundation... at first it looks like it might be a perfect match...



    Photobucket
    However, when smoothed out you can tell off the bat that it gives a white-ish cast when photographed. In person it's not so bad, but in pictures you can definitely tell the color is off. My skin did feel soft and smooth though, and with a bit of powder and bronzer, I feel I can make good use of this product. It's not my best buy of the year, but I can deal with it.



    Alrighty, that's all for now, til' next blog...
    TOODLES!
