Monday is my day off so I'm generally very productive. Running errands, cleaning house, etc, etc. But today I have had a very unproductive day... I just couldn't get myself to do, well, anything! I did manage to wash and fold a couple loads of laundry and do all of ten minutes of a workout DVD before I got frustrated and gave up. I just had a bad case of the mondays!
I finally gave up trying to workout and trying to clean and got my butt off facebook and off the couch into the shower around 6 oclock. Terrible I know! Once I showered and did my makeup and hair I felt much better but still had nothing to do. The bf was at work and I just HAD to get out of the house. After wrestling with the idea for a while I gave in and made a totally unnecessary trip to Target.
I spent more money than I should have but I did get three new fun beauty products! Hooray! I will have to make a video using them to show you but for now you just get pictures and me rambling :) So first up in my Target makeup haul is...
Covergirl's Wetslicks Amazemint Lipgloss in number 635
"no care bare" (shown on the right).
I don't remember where I heard about this...Marie Claire maybe (I'm a magazine-a-holic) but I wanted to give it a whirl. It's infused with crest peppermint oil and so claims that it "provides a minty-breath sensation while the gloss itself gives a dazzling high shine without all that "sticky." My analysis? Totally true! I'm not usually a lip gloss girl but this one goes on so smooth and does not leave my lips sticky or gritty at all and the peppermint oil definitely does leave me in amazemint! hehehe :) I'm also always on the hunt for anything that gives me a beautiful nude lip and this color is PERFECT! A little taupe-y a little shiny and a lot gorgeous! Can't wait to do a video and show you!
Next I got the Studio Eyebrow Kit from e.l.f. (in medium)
This kit has a dark pigmented wax to fill in brows and to hold them in place, a lighter podwer to set and soften the look of the brows, a double ended brush and a mirror for application ease. I played with this a little when I got home but I already had stuff on my brows so I have yet to see how it really works. If this is anything like the other e.l.f. products I have gotten it'll be great! I have been looking for a cheap eyebrow kit of sorts at the drugstore for a while now and NO ONE i mean NO ONE had one! It was starting to drive me crazy! I finally looked at e.l.f and lo and behold they had this in multiple colors. E.l.f. is quickly becoming my favorite drugstore makeup line especially with most products being $1, $3 or $5 dollars! If you haven't checked them out yet go do it!
My third beauty purchase was also an e.l.f. product (which stands for eyes lips face cosmetics by the way) I got their Studio Cream Eyeliner in "Midnight"
This is a gorgeous dark blue cream eyeliner that comes in a supercute little glass looking container with its own little liner brush. Using dark blue eyeliner might be my favorite makeup tip of all time. Blue makes white pop so by using a dark blue eyeliner your eyes look bigger, whiter, and even, in my opinion, a little sparklier. I usually pat a dark blue eyeshadow over my black eyeliner when I feel like my face needs a little pick-me-up so I'm really excited to skip this step and use my new cream liner. Yay!
So there you have it. Fun new makeup cures a bad case of the mondays. Check back in the next few days for a video using all three of my new products!
Happy Monday guys! Hope yours was more productive than mine!
loooooove, Katie
