Remember awhile back I told you how I purchased the Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge? Well here is a picture of what it looks like to refresh your memories:
This sponge is a cheaper version of the infamous Beauty Blender sponge. For those of you who don't know what that is, here is a picture:
Yesterday I was stuck in bed all day with a 102 degree fever, runny nose, sore throat, the works...not fun! But luckily I had my trusty Theraflu on hand, which helped immensely! I am a little better today, no fever, but still lingering symptoms.
Of course, being in a Theraflu induced haze and the lack of activity yesterday made me even more determined to go outside and do something today, especially since we had a brief period of sunshine (which ended immediately upon me entering the car!) So of course I went to Target, one of my favorite places to go...I swear the security guard at the door recognizes me because I am there so often!
Anyways, I only had a little time to look around since my boyfriend needed the car for work, but I did manage to scoop up a few much needed (well in my mind at least, my boyfriend has other opinions on what qualifies as needed items :P) things:
A new Kabuki brush, isn't this so cute? It's soo soft too! They used to have a hot pink one but it was all sold out :(
A flat top blusher brush by Sonia Kashuk, the handle is soo pretty and I didn't realize until just now that it's glittery, yay! The head is actually a little smaller than I thought, but oh well, I still like it!
This is a makeup sponge by Sonia Kashuk, I'm guessing it's supposed to be like the Beauty Blender. I haven't used either of them so I'm eager to try this out!
It's actually purple in real life but my stupid camera flash changed it to blue
And this doesn't really qualify as a needed item, but this was on clearance, which I'm not sure why, but normally it's priced at about $8.99 or so and I got it for like $6.25? Score! It's a rosy pink, kinda sheer but very pretty!
So the lesson to be learned here...don't go shopping after being bedridden and medicated, it's not good for your wallet!
Haha, excuse the title but I just had to use it because my boyfriend said my jacket reminded him of the one Michael Jackson wore in his "Thriller" video!
A couple of my followers have requested that I do more fashion posts, so I am happy to oblige, but I probably won't do too many, just because this blog is aimed mostly for makeup and beauty related things, and also because I haven't been feeling too fashionable lately :P But I will post some OOTD's occasionally, so here is my first one:
Ew, my mirror is so dirty! Sorry about the quality, I couldn't get the color to adjust right
Here is the full outfit, yes I am standing in the bathtub, it is the only full length mirror we have in the house! But I am going to get one soon! And that mirror is also quite dirty, yuck :P
The jacket I borrowed from my sister, the boots are from Charlotte Russe, jeans and top are from ? can't remember, probably Forever 21, and the lovely necklace is the one Sophia just sent me! :)
This is the makeup I wore with it, and I know you're not really supposed to match your makeup to your outfit, but I don't care, I do it anyways :P
I don't know why the colors in my photos can't be consistent with each other :(
The makeup I used:
Face: Monistat Anti Chafing Powder Gel as primer
MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC30
MUFE HD Foundation in Dark Sand
MUFE HD Powder
SilkyGirl Shimmer Duo Blusher in Sunny Glow
Lotree Shimmer Bling Face Designing (to highlight)
Eyes: Sonia Kashuk Dramatically Defining Long Wear Gel Liner
Sally Hansen Fast Fix Eyeshadow Base
Lotree Secret Cream Shadow
Loreal Telescopic Mascara in Carbon Black
Rimmel The Max Volume Flash Mascara in Extreme Black
Lips: Smith's Rosebud Salve (to moisturize)
NYC Lipstick in Sheer Red
Anyways, that's what I wore, thanks for reading! :)
For this look it started out as just my plain everyday look with just a simple brown sparkly shadow, but then at the last minute I decided to add the falsies, just to try them out. They are from e.l.f. and they came with my haul that I posted previously. They worked pretty well, but I think I like lashes that are not as thick, and are more wispy and natural looking. But I liked how they made my eyes look, I would wear these probably more for a special occasion or a night out.
