Tabby makeup artist…

I’ve been wanting to try these permanently since Ive heard so lots of great things about them. Plus, not gonna lie, I’m type of a Sam as well as Nic fangirl.

I grabbed a couple of deal with as well as eye brushes, as well as I’m extremely ecstatic about utilizing them. I’ve been wanting to step up my drugstore makeup game.

The genuine methods Brushes…
While I like the fancy-schmancy stuff, as in high-end/department store makeup, there’s likewise a great deal to like at the drugstore, as well as I’m hoping these brushes online as much as the hype.

The genuine methods Brushes…
Speaking of bodacious bargains that do well, I may already be in lust with one of the foundations I snagged, L’Oreal’s true match Lumi.

My good friend miss Marisol suggested it, as well as even went so far as to state that she keeps backups of her backups.

Yes, it’s THAT serious.

So of program I had to try it.

Loreal true match Lumi foundation in Sand beige as well as sun beige ($12.99 each)
I grabbed two shades, Sand beige as well as sun Beige, because, honestly, it is so tough to figure out which shade to get in a store when there are no testers.

I’m always lured to open the bottles as well as swatch them on myself ideal there…but then I’m terrified that somebody’s going to notice as well as be all, “GROSS! Oh, my gosh, Becky! That woman just opened that bottle of foundation over there!”

I don’t want to be that person (although I am always tempted).

So I ended up getting the two closest shades, as well as after trying them at home, apparently, I am not Sand Beige.

Sand beige need to have been trick code for, “There is a great deal of pink in this foundation.” FYI.

So sun beige it is! — as well as Sand beige is going back to Ulta.

I’ve been using as well as testing it for the past couple days, as well as I’m liking it so far. It sits on the skin beautifully, doesn’t clear up into my pores or fine lines, as well as looks relatively natural.

I have yet to see exactly how it looks in pics, however so far, so good.

I likewise grabbed a few other deal with products to try. last week I asked the Twitter-verse for drugstore makeup recs, as well as a great deal of peeps raved about the Maybelline in shape Me line, notably their in shape Me Concealer.

Maybelline in shape Me Concealer ($6.99)
I keep in mind trying the in shape Me line a long time back when it very first came out, as well as to be honest, I wasn’t wowed, however that was a while ago, so I believed I’d provide it one more try.

Well, in shape Me Concealer? I can see why people like it. It absolutely reminds me of Diorskin nude Skin perfection Hydrating Concealer by Dior ($34). like Diorskin, it’s simple to blend as well as doesn’t look heavy or fake, not even on the dry areas of my skin or around my fine lines.

The only thing is…I’m terrified it may not be opaque sufficient for my under-eye sitch. I’ve only utilized it once, so I haven’t truly tried to make it work, however as of now, the jury’s still out.

Maybelline in shape Me foundation ($7.99) as well as Powder in shade 240 ($7.99)
The in shape Me foundation as well as in shape Me Powder I likewise grabbed (in shade 240, which is new) look like they may be a bit as well dark for me. I haven’t tried them on yet, so we’ll see.

I swear, often it’s truly difficult to gauge shades accurately under those fluorescent store lights…

I likewise stocked up on some things I just normally needed (haha, “needed”), such as this CND Solar Oil.

CND Solar Oil ($7.50)
I got a bottle for me as well as a bottle for my mommy because, honestly, she’s so funny… OK, we both experience from RCS (otherwise understood as Raggedy Cuticle Syndrome), as well as so for Mother’s Day last year, I got her a Dior cuticle cream, thinking, ya know, that it would be something she’d never get for herself.

So I called her before going to Ulta as well as asked if she needed anything. considering that I had cuticle oil on my listing of things to get for myself, I pointed out it to her as well as asked if she’d ever utilized the Dior cuticle cream I got her as a gift. She was like,“No, I just put it on a shelf for decoration. It’s so pretty! I just want to look at it.”

I was like, “MOM! It’s not just for display. I desired you to utilize it… OK, I will get you a different cuticle oil from Ulta that you can really use.”

LOL! mommies are so funny sometimes.

Last, however not least, I likewise grabbed a couple boxes of my preferred Eylure lashes.

The Eylure No. 117s
The Eylure No. 154
So, uh…I’ve been stuck in front (and behind) a video camera, which I am this close to throwing across the room, for two days.

See, I tried to record a new type of video tutorial, thinking, “Oh, this is gonna be easy. It’s only gonna take a few hours.”

Famous last words…

Next thing you know, it’s two days later, I’m prepared to rip my hair out, as well as the video isn’t even done.

So that’s where I’ve been.

Everything’s fine. I just get absorbed in jobs often as well as have a difficult time discovering my method out.
