Yet another month has come and gone in the blink of an eye, much to my chagrin. I can't stop the passing of time, but I can sort through piles of products and tell you which are real gems or just hunks of carbon. (Like that geological joke? I'm hilarious.) Without further ado, here are my hits and misses for January 2012:
What I'm wearing:
Eyes: Elf Eyelid Primer, Wet 'n Wild Cotton Candy eyeshadow palette, L'Oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense Liquid Liner, Sephora by OPI Advanced Lash Booster black mascara
Cheeks: Mac Pink Cult, Benefit Highbeam
Lips: Josie Maran Argan Color Stick in Rosey, Josie Maran Natural Volume Lipgloss in Optimism
Face: Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer in light, Garnier Anti-Dark-Circle Roller, Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Pressed Powder
For those of you have seen my YouTube channel, this post may be redundant; however, I want to try something new and see how it works. I've stumbled across some bloggers who link their YouTube pages in posts and I like the idea. Despite the fact that most of my hits so far are from my YouTube subscribers, I've decided to link my most recent video and list my makeup, nails, hair, etc. underneath. If this experiment is an epic fail, I'll definitely stop (lol)!
Many of my recent videos have been about designer makeup, which can be very expensive. My anorexic wallet would agree, especially after my most recent shopping endeavor. I know that shelling out $28.50 on a single eyeshadow (I'm looking at you, Chanel) is a lot, even if you aren't on a budget. And if you are, that seems like an absurd expense. Fortunately, there are some quality products out there that won't break the bank. Today, I'm going to focus on Wet n Wild and E.L.F.

-Wet n Wild Sweet as Candy
-Wet n Wild Cool as a Cucumber
