Soooo Christmas was great!! I have some Christmas and Hanukkah presents to review in my next post, but first I wanted to segue into an accidental haul. I say accidental, because I stopped at CVS to get some cold medicine and ended up walking away with a ton of stuff.
In no particular order:
- Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer in cream (I have no idea if this is my color or not) @ 50% off = $4.64
- Maybelline FIT powder in 230 Natural Buff (Also no idea if this is my color) @ Full price $8.39
- Sally Hansen Nail Nutrition Green Tea and Soy Cuticle Oil. 2 @ 75% off = $2.19 each
-Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner in Black. 50% off = $3.99
- Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Thinking of Blue. 75% off = 2.07
- Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Quick Sand and Whirlwind White. 75% off = $1.37 each
- Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Wet Cement. 75% off = $0.79
AMAZING. I will now spend all my free time driving far and wide to search for CVS's.
So my Shellac manicure lasted me exactly 4 days. FAIL. I decided that the bathroom needed a very serious scrubbing last night, and the chemicals I used just dissolved the polish. I will never be able to explain why I didn't just put on a pair of gloves. They're right next to all the cleaning stuff, it would have been so simple! On the plus side, my nails are already WAY harder. The ends arent bending like they usually do. I'm halfway through a Christmas themed mani right now, pics will be up later. Also, I just scored an AWESOME haul on ebay. 2 Essie Luxeffects (Shine of the Times and whatever the pearlescent (sp) one is), Bobbing for Baubles from the Cocktail Bling collection, and China Glaze Snow Globe. All for the price of 2 Essie polishes. ebay, sometimes you are my friend. I will post the haul and swatches when they arrive! What's the best beauty deal you've scored lately?
I have all these ideas floating around in my head, but can't seem to get them out. I am starting this blog because it was suggested to me as a great way to get a handle on my behaviors that I want to change. My list is as follows:
- I bite my nails. And my cuticles. As a healthcare professional by trade, this is a nasty habit and must stop NOW.
- I have had a rough year, healthwise. I gained ALOT of weight. Now that my health is improving, I want it gone, and I want to do it the right way.
- I want to start looking like a grown up. Between work, school, and needing an inordinate amount of sleep for someone my age, I hardly ever do my hair or makeup. I want to start.
I'm hoping that this blog will help me to stay accountable for all my goals in the upcoming year!
