Hello!

Hello there! Sorry I haven't especially been keeping up with my promises quite as well as I had hoped. I have several things to tell all of you!

a) I would like to update you on my blush! I wore it today to school and it was super pretty. I applied it on a clean, then moisturized, then powdered face with my fingers. I found it blended and melted quite easily. It has definitely faded but there is still a pretty glow to my cheeks! New fave!

b) Let's talk about showers. I am a very irregular shower-er. Sometimes I take them in the morning, sometime as soon as I get home from school, or usually after dinner (I'm a procrastinator). Sometimes I fail to wash my hair every single day, and up until now, I haven't had a dry shampoo or hair powder to save me from a heavy-haired day. Yup, until now! Today at Safeway, I realized that they may have the Suave Pro Dry Shampoo. And they did! My hair was a bit oily when I bought it so when I tried it as soon as I got home. Ahh, it smells sooo amazing! It smells like French tutti-frutti chewing gum mixed with flowers and love and peace and happiness. It totally absorbed my oil! I'm scared that I'm gonna over-use it like my Evian spray though. hehe. A+ so far though!! It was $2.69 as the introductory price.

c) Tomorrow I'm going somewhere right next to Ulta! I'm really excited because I've never been there! I want some more NYX Products...it's hard to get them anywhere else. I really want some Blotting Papers ($3.59) and a Soft Matte Lip Cream ($5.99) ...I really want Antwerp (Soft, dull pink)! Most NYX is BOGO50% off and I have the $3.50 off $10 coupon sooo I think if in stock I'll get this:

Lip Cream = $5.99

Blotting Papers= $3.59 (50% off = $1.79)

Then to put me over $10 I'll probably grab a Round Lipstick ($3.99, I'll let the moment choose the color), but who knows? I may see something better from another brand. I've never tried Ulta brand so I may give that a go.

I'm excited!

d) I ordered the Apocalyptic Nail Kit from Urban Decay on Hautelook yesterday. Sorry, I was too late to grab a blush, and I just didn't really want any single shadows...

e) I just wanted to let you know I'm completely obsessed with my Arnica Essentiel Hand Cream I bought in France. My hands just soak it up! Literally. See ya laterrrr!

Missed my Target

Double-fail! We went to a different Target today where they don't carry elf, and the dry shampoo was out of stock! :(

Sorry if you were anticipating reviews, although I'm doubting you were. Hehe.

I did grab one beauty-related thing today though! Suprisingly, from TJ Maxx. I don't know if you guys have heard of MissGlamorazzi, but I watch her on YouTube and she always talks about Ahava and how much she likes it, so today when I saw a Purifying Mud Soap For Oily Skin for $3.99, I picked it up straight away. I've never used a facial bar soap before so I just hope i get enough lather. I think it should be just fine with my Sephora facial scrub brush. It smells earthy and mineral-y and nice. At least, I like it.

The reason why generally I don't buy beauty products from discount stores like Marshalls or TJ's is because a lot of time the packaging is open, something is missing, or people have been using it in the store. This soap had an outer box which I opened in the store to make sure that the soap was well preserved.

I was happy to see that there was a paper wrapping the soap:

The soap itself was a bit cracked but...it's soap. It's an unpleasant murky olive green but I reiterate...it's soap.

I'll give you a more detailed review tomorrow after I try it out tonight and in the morning. I'm concerned that the soap will be a bit drying, but I'm still excited to try it.

Next time I'm at (a different) Target I'll pick up some elf!

By the way, tomorrow I go back to school from my language trip/Spring break break, so I won't be able to post quite as much, especially not during the day. I'll try to write 2 posts a day, one before I start homework, one after dinner, and post the dinner one the next day around lunchtime with my iPod. Depending on tests or homework, I may not be able to keep this up. I will attempt to.
