Ulta Birthday Haul

My birthday recently passed and one of my generous aunts gifted me with an Ulta gift card. I was so thrilled and I planned on saving it for a rainy day. I then realized I lost my beloved eyebrow pencil so to the Ulta website I went!

Mini Review: Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation Stick

Something about foundation just draws me in. The packaging, the claims and the fantasy of finding a product that can perfect your skin upon application, I just get suckered in.  Fortunately, widely available drugstore brands have been stepping up their game and releasing affordable foundations. 

I recently picked up the new Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free Foundation Stick at my local Target. Maybelline describes this foundations as "lightweight gel foundation with an anti-shine powder core" that "instantly dissolves excess oil, for a perfect matte finish". It is available in twelve shades and retails for $6.99.

Half & Half: Pink Summer Lips

Back again with another Half & Half post! I am really enjoying these and plan to feature some face products in the next post. This time I am featuring some of my favorite pink lippies for summer. You can't go wrong with a beautiful bright pink lip! Here are some options for beauties on a budget and beauties looking to splurge.

Half & Half: Peach/Coral Summer Lips

Just a quick little post to share my top ten peach/coral lippes for the summer.  Half are drugstore products and half are high end products.  I thought this would be a fun way to showcase several options for every budget!

e.l.f. Acne Fighting Foundation in Beige, Buff

Yes, I know, I did it again!  I purchased another foundation.  I had heard some buzz about the e.l.f. Acne Fighting Foundation and kept checking my local Target, hoping and praying they would get it in stock.  There are some e.l.f. products that I really like but I find the shipping rate to be less than desirable when ordering online.  Luckily, I received an email from e.l.f. for free shipping on a purchase of $15.  I jumped on the chance to scoop up this foundation.
