I was lucky enough to receive some money this Christmas to spend on myself so I decided to splurge on some makeup items that I've been wanting for some time. The purchase I love the most is the Urban Decay Naked palette. It was way more cash than what I'd usually spend on makeup, but I figured it's Christmas money, so it's okay. It comes with a travel size primer potion and a dual ended eyeliner, one side in whiskey (brown) and the other side in zero (black). The colors are really similar to some other palettes I have. I have the nude on nude and the champagne and caviar palettes by NYX, both of which are very comparable to the Naked palette. The biggest difference is that the Urban Decay shadows are more "buttery", if that makes any sense...LOL.
CVS had their usual end of season sales and I got some AMAZING stuff for next to nothing!! The entire line of HiP stuff by L'oreal (excluding a few things) was on clearance for 75% off. Revlon had some great stuff too. They have the best lip products ever. I like their lippies even better than department store brands. Normally I'm not a big lipstick person, but when they go on clearance I'll try out some new shades. And...lastly I got Maybelline's Great Lash mascara in the regular and waterproof version and one with the curved brush. I know, I know...I always try that mascara and end up hating it but I always feel compelled to give it another shot. The non waterproof version smudges terribly on me and it doesn't do much in the way of adding volume or length. It just darkens the lashes. That's it. The waterproof version doesn't smudge as bad (but it still smudges). I guess this mascara is better than using nothing at all, and I'll try to use it up so I don't waste it, but I won't be purchasing this mascara again.
Well, I have to get my day started so I'm outta here for now!! :)
