These are cosmetic purchases I grabbed for a lot this month.
#1 La Mer treatment foundation
It is super lightweight and blends into skin flawlessly.
I can NOT feel that I am wear a foundation at all but it still gives medium coverage.
The best part...my reactive skin finds it soothing & calming!
#2 Laura Mercier Mineral Powder SPF 15
This is the best mineral make-up out there! The END!
#3 Origins VitaZing spf 15 Energy-boosting moisturizer
A moisturizer that actually moisturizes, protects (SPF), adds just a hint of healthy color, and it makes my skin look and feel dewy? SIGH ME UP!
#4 Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser Brightener
What a pleasant surprise easily accessible at your friendly supermarket or a local drugstore! I use it under my foundation and I am loving it!
#5 MAC Snowglobe Beauty Powder
It's so lovely and extremely delicate!
It has been my "setting" powder used very lightly with a fan brush!
#6 Here's another drugstore shocker:
REVLON ColorStay Eyeliner with SoftFlex in Blackberry 206
It glides on easily and it stays in place the entire day.
It's been my go-to tightline pencil.
The color is very unusual, a purple black that looks fantastic with my light brown eyes.
Finally, my nails have been thoroughly neglected this month, mainly because this cold weather is drying my hands out and my thumb nail is still healing from an injury. Boo!
I have a few very pretty brand new ZOYA polishes awaiting to be swatched.
Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy!
