I'm back!

Hey people-

I've been away for a while and now I'm gonna backtrack a bit. A while ago I went to Ulta for the first time ever! I love it soooooo much. But it's really far away from me. :(

Here you go!

So I got 2 Orly nail lacquers, one mini (wish it was full size, but I only had so much money on me), and a free full size. The mini was $3.50 in the color Rage, which is an absolutely gorgeous rose gold color. I also think it works year round. Love! The second one was free with a coupon from a magazine. They usually retail for $7 btw. It's called Shine and I still haven't tried it on, but I think it'll be my next nail color. Right now I'm wearing a shade from the UD Apocalyptic Nail Kit which I'll haul really soon.

NYX lip stuff was BOGO50% off so I got a round lipstick in Jupiter (normally $3.50) and a soft matte lip cream in Milan ($6). Jupiter is a really light, very frosty pink. Milan is a deep muted rosey berry, as best as I can describe it. I like the fact that the tube is the color of the product. So when I first got these my lips were pretty dry and neither product looked very good. Jupiter is a frosty pink, which is not cute on cracked lips. Milan is a bit drying and looks much better on smooth lips. Now that there is a little humidity and moisture injected into the air and I've found my HG lip conditioner (I'll talk about that in a mo'), I've been wearing Milan, but to date still haven't worn Jupiter out. I'll wear it Monday (probably). The lipstick is not drying, but the cream is a bit. If you don't know what the soft matte lip creams are, they're basically matte, liquid lipsticks with a doe foot applicator. I think I want more NYX lipsticks, but in more wearable formulations and colors. I'm excited that they've started to bring more and more NYX to Urban Outfitters. As a splurge I might pick up this gigantic bronzer that they have for face and body. It's $16 though, and I don't really have a big enough kabuki. :/ We'll see.

So just 4 products. I also used a $3.50 off $10 coupon so the whole purchase was under ten.

Here's a pic, sorry, you can request swatches if you like.

OHMYGOSH.

These have probably been the most stressful couple of weeks of my life. I'll go back to posting as soon as my house-guest leaves (next Thursday). Sorry. I went to Ulta and Sephora. I'll tell you about it soooooooon.

WANT!

Geez I want this so badly!

GAH! Glow is soooo pretty- and $6.50??? That's almost as cheap as elf's cream blush!

I would buy several shades if I could buy online.

*sigh*

Maybe Urban Outfitters will start carrying them. The only place I've heard of NYX other than there is at ULTA. Suprisingly, I've never been. It's kind of a long drive from here, and I live across the street from Sephora and MAC...

I also adore and crave the Round Case lipsticks from NYX.

I have a friend who takes ballet next to ULTA, so maybe I'll ask her to pick one up for me. They're $6.99 at ULTA just BTW.

For ULTA people here's a coupon. That means if you get a cream blush and throw in a round case lip stick it would only be an extra .50! How great is that?
