I have a few minutes before I dash into a meeting so I wanted to get you guys up to speed.
I'm so excited!!! Only $40 left until I hit 500 shopping points at Sephora! With the weekly splurges, I've been able to build up pretty quickly on top of some previous points I hadn't cashed in yet!!
Though I think I'm narrowing my purchases down as far as items I want from Sephora.
Every week I've been at Sephora testing new products to figure out what to add to my collection next, and there is one thing that I've learned...
Just because a makeup product is expensive, doesn't mean that it's the best value or the best quality. I bought a $25 lipgloss because of the product name, and turned around and returned it the next day because it felt sticky and clumpy on my lips.
But I LOVE me some M.A.C. glosses and they run as low as $14!!
It made me realize I could reach my goal of makeup product inventory much faster if I switch things up a bit!
I've decided that I'm going to meet my $40 goal at Sephora so I can get my Reward Points Prize, and then I will switch to M.A.C. for the remainder of my cosmetics bag needs.
I still don't think Dior Mascara can be topped, so I will go ahead and purchase the Dior Iconic Mascara (per Eunice's advice) at $27, and I'm also thinking about a travel size perfume stick at $25, so I can test out a new spring/summer scent and see if I like it enough to buy the full size!
As far as the rest of my makeup needs- I don't have much left to go before I will be satisfied for a while. Wishlist is as follows:
-peachy/ginger blushes
-peach/coral lipstick and gloss
-pastel eyeshadow colors
-gel pot eyeliner and brush
-cream foundation and concealer (purchase after tanning)
-misc. other brushes
-new travel cosmetics bag
Today I went to M.A.C. and purchased:
-peachy lipgloss
-peachy pink lipstick
-eyebrow wax (COOL PRODUCT!!) to combine with my Anastasia stencils
-eyebrow pencil
They also had their new campaign on display:
Hello Kitty goes Wild/ Hello Kitty goes Mild
umm, I think I'm a little old to get excited over Hello Kitty products, but they do have some really cool colors in the collection!
Plus the little Black Leather Hello Kitty Plush doll is kinda cute!!
(Shhhhh!!! Don't tell anyone! lol)
Once I get these babies out of the way, I'm on to a new category for my weekly splurges!! Any suggestions??
