My Cosmetics Wishlist!

I've been finding myself at Sephora a lot lately, browsing the pretty racks eye shadows, lipsticks, and blush.  What is it about that place that makes it total girl heaven?  Is it the smell of perfume and powder?  The bright lights?  The clean, modern color scheme?  Or maybe it’s just that wonderful feeling of treating yourself to a tiny, expensive new toy (or three.)

My makeup-browsing trips are getting more frequent lately, and I’ve been eyeing lots of pretty products, and getting excited to try new things.  For instance, I recently started wearing darker eyeliner, in thicker layers.   For years, my signature look has focused mostly on blush and lipstick.  I could care less about eyeliner!  But this summer, I decided to change my look around, and now I’m hooked!  I do a liquid on top and pencil on the bottom.   Dark brown…  black is still a little too intense for me!

Anyway!  Here are a few products that I'm excited to get my hands on.

 

1. Tarte Cosmetics blush

I mentioned my affinity for blush, no?  J  I’ve heard a ton of great stuff about their cheek stains, but now I just want to try everything from this brand!  I’m a sucker for a good blush, and Tarte seems to have some great options.  I’m dying to try the Amazonian clay 12-hour blush.  The colors look sooo lovely. 

2. Tarte LipSurgence lip tint- matte

I’m always on the lookout for a good lip product.  I wear lipstick most of the time, but the problem is, it gets too dry.  Yet, I’m not in love with the super-shiny look of lip gloss anymore.  I feel like a matte lip tint is the perfect in-between.   I’m dying to try the colors Hope, Envy, and Fiery!

3. Nars lip pencil

My trusty MAC cedar lip pencil is about to run out, and I’m looking to try something new.  I’m really intrigued by these lip pencils by NARS.  NARS is a brand that evokes glamour and maturity for me.  I do own two of their blushes already, which I love.  But I’d love to try out something else from their product range!

4. Benefit “They’re Real!” Mascara

Some of you know, I use false eyelashes whenever I’m going out, or having my picture taken J  But wouldn’t it be great to just slap on some mascara and have it look like the same thing?  Putting on falsies can be a labor of love, but I’m all for taking the easy route.  

5. Laura Mercier Lip Glace

I know I just said that I don’t like gloss, but these are the exception.  They’re not like ultra glossy sheen gloss… they’re just perfect.  This is another “mature” brand.  But I already own one of these lip glaces.  And something about when I wear it just makes me feel expensive.   They’ve got a few other colors I want to try… I want more!


Have a great weekend, everyone!!
