Goodies for a girly girl




I'll admit that I'm a bit of a makeup snob.   I have been using Clinique makeup since I was a teenager.  
I have sensitive skin and Clinique is the makeup that has never given me a problem.   There are a few things here and there that I add to my makeup bag to help mix things up and make me feel pretty!  A girly girl needs to feel pretty, right?



I recently picked this mascara up and it's a new favorite!  It really plumps up my lashes and at 1/2 the cost of the fancier ones I splurge on.  PLUS it comes in waterproof!   I have the hardest time with some waterproof mascaras getting dried out or not having the same coverage as the non waterproof.




When I went to visit Phoenix I made sure to visit the Bobbi Brown cosmetic counter for some long wear black eyeliner.  I have tried a lot of different eyeliners and this one I like the most.  The gal helping me talked me into the eyeliner brush and I'm SO glad she did!  It's very nice and easy to use. 
I have another eyeliner brush that is so thin that I have to really be careful using it.  No so with this one. 


The Lorac line - Superb!   Beautiful shimmer shadows that stay on nicely, especially when you put them on wet.  I have gone through two of the starry eyed baked eyeshadows already.  Mainly because the lighter color goes fast!
I do like the bronzer but I must say that I still miss the Prescriptives one I once had.  They closed up shop and of course the bronzers left fast.


I also recently splurged on the T3 volumizer and I really like it!   I have been having some trouble getting my hair to bend and cooperate, especially in this humidity lately.  It's NOT a flatiron.  It has a bump in it that bends the hair and it works great!  High temps help!  Ulta has great coupons if you sign up for their perks. 
I could really go on and on!  I could have totally been a make up artist because I love playing with makeup! 
I seem to be reflecting upon my youth a lot lately.  Maybe because it's Summer? 
Oh how those Summer night breezes and smells bring up the memories!  Hope you're having a great season and hopefully enjoying some vacation time as well!
