On The Horizon:
Still #shoppingthestash2018 or #shoppingmystash2018 .
MTHRSHP Sublime Bronze Ambition Eyeshadow Palette ~ Now I know I said no premade e/s palettes…so this is just in my
list right now. I would really need to swatch it. All other eye shadow palettes have just received a glance at best. Really nothing is appealing to me.
Okay…does the UD Backtalk palette get to slide through, because it is also a blush and highlight palette too?! I think it is really pretty and it is in a different color family.
eta: March 5th ! Viseart #7 Siren Palette...sigh...a new release, this one gets bumped to the top of my list. I am still loving all over my Minx palette. I would use all the shades in the new Siren. Bonus is, that these pans can be put into a custom palette.
NARS ~ Coucher de Soleil Trio – This is a definite purchase for March.
NARS ~ Keeps on killing it with cheek products…there are 2 blush palettes coming out and I am intrigued with the darker of the two.
Favorites of the Month :
Setting my primer with powder. A Jackie Aina trick, I finally got around to trying. It is also why I went ahead and replenished my MUFE powder. I am here to say, it works for keeping makeup matte longer and I think also extends wear time. It does not work if you use your fingers to apply liquid foundation, but is great with damp sponge application.
Random Blah Blah:
Wireless Earbud Update ~ Turns out I was able to order a pair right at the end of January. I received a refund check for a faulty mini-fridge I purchased for my library kitchenette. I had paid for it outright and completely forgot the refund was coming. I shopped around, went through eBay and got a discounted pair of BeatsX in matte gold…my gold obsession is holding strong
I ended up replacing both my gym bag and my work tote. A strap on my work tote (a Victoria Secret freebie from a couple summers ago) broke, in such a way that I could not really repair it. Oh well. Both bags are by Kipling, I got them both in neutral metallic shades and on sale. I am very happy.
And that's all she wrote for February. My March budget is being seriously challenged by NARS...lol I am going to do my best to stick with it.
Yaaaaay! Spring is just 3 weeks away!
