However, good things can and do happen in the very longest of months, so here is a collection of some of the small things that made my favorites list:
Beauty & Skincare...
1. Arbonne Makeup Primer- I've long been suspicious of make-up primers. I knew that the really dedicated make-up ladies in my life swore by them, but when I tried a couple, I wasn't impressed. Just another step, and I couldn't tell the difference! That all changed after trying this primer at an Arbonne party. This primer isn't white, like the ones I'd tried before. It looked like a pinky toned gel (terrible description, I know), and made my skin feel amazing. When I first started using it, I tended to forget about it now and then, and I could tell the difference! Maybe not right away, but it definitely was noticeable throughout the day.
2. Wet N' Wild MegaGlo Illuminating Powder- True to it's name, this highlighter/blush definitely makes my skin glow. Almost to a fault, I must admit... You can't be too heavy handed with this very shimmery little disc, but so far, I love this blush and have been using every day. I just sweep my brush against the 2 middle colors when I use it.
3. Urban Decay Bootycall eyeshadow- Scandalous I know... I'm embarrassed to even post this on my blog, but my love for this eyeshadow compels me! It's only available in the Naked 2 palette, and is lovely. It's a highlighting color with a pinkish hue that I use as an all-over eyelid color, usually with just a crease color. Again, everyday, and contrary to it's name, the color is heavenly... couldn't resist!
4. Everyday Minerals mineral powder jojoba foundation in Bare- I received this as a sample when I ordered a pot of regular mineral foundation from Everyday Minerals, and honestly, like it so much better than what I bought! Everyday Minerals allows you to choose 5 samples of foundation/blush/face powders with every order, or you can even just get the samples if you pay the shipping.
5. Philosophy's Loveswept- I found this in a perfume sample bag from Sephora at the beginning of the month, and have been using it exclusively since! I bought a bottle at Ulta a couple weeks ago to seal the deal. It's described as having a "soft floral scent," and I totally agree. Soft and subtle.
Miscellaneous...
My iPad- Still loving my unnecessary Apple product! In fact, I'm writing this blog post on it :)
Mystery Science Theater 3000- I'd been briefly introduced to this show in college, but hadn't watched an episode until this month, thanks to YouTube. It's essentially a show that mocks bad B-movies, and ranges from hilarious to mildly entertaining depending on the movie. It's amazing how many terrible movies are produced in this country!
Kashi GoLean Crisp Toasted Berry Crumble- Last month I opened a new box of Kashi GoLean Crunch granola, only to find GoLean crisp instead. They'd mispackaged it, but I loved it! I now have added that to my list of on hand cereals.
That's all folks!
