Beauty Spree!

Hello everyone! Sorry for not posting much this week, I was on holidays. Going out of town is exciting for me as we do not have much selection for shopping in my small town. My first day out of town, I went to Shoppers, one of my favorite beauty shops. I know what you're thinking "Shoppers? Could she be more cheap?". When it comes to makeup, I have tried cheap and I have tried expensive and have come to find that there are some great products on both sides of the expense scale. That being said, I purchased some good finds this trip!

I honestly don't know why I bought Vogue. I was bored at my grandmas and looking for some reading material but I always seem to forget that its a million pages of ads. Anyways, my other purchases include:

• Blistex DCT: I forgot some lip chap and this is my fave for chapped/cracked lips. I swear I have gone to bed with my lip cracked open and in the morning its gone all because of this miracle worker.
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Honey Bear: more on this below
• Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer: I am on a mission to find the perfect concealer for my dark circles. This one is pretty good, it doesn't brighten my under eye that much because of how pale I am but it is providing good coverage.
• Marc Anthony Deep Moisture Hand Cream: My hands get super dry due to my line of work, the cuticles are especially bad. This cream has a pleasant smell and absorbs quickly. My hands have improved somewhat but that may be due to not having to wash them as much on vacation.

This is a swatch of the Revlon lipstick. On the lips it is a sheer nude with a bronze like shimmer. I don't wear alot of lipstick because I feel like they all look funny on me. This lipstick is natural enough that it gives me that little boost without making me feel uncomfortable.

A couple of days after my initial trip to Shoppers, I decided I wanted to paint my nails so I went there again. I purchased the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Total Wave. So far, I am not a fan of this product. A couple of my nails are chipping already and I just painted them yesterday. However, it was my first time applying the product so perhaps I didn't wait long enough between coats. I think I will be sticking to my gel lamp (more on what I use in a future post).

At the checkout, there was a basket of items for $2 and I purchased two of these Quo Diamond Liners. I tried the golden color today. I like that it is a subtle bit of color on the lid and the applicator is easy to use.  

That's all for this beauty spree! Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?
