my first haul yayy

I went to Longs yesterday with the intention of picking up some NYX products, but they didn't have any. =[ I was so sad. But I still picked up some other stuff..

-tinkerbell valentine cards
-valentine coupon book
-covergirl blossoms eye shadow quad
-maybelline dream matte mousse

Valentine's Day is right around the corner! So yes, I still like to buy valentine cards haha. They're so cute! They even come with stickers lol I'm such a kid still. When I was looking through the valentine's section I saw a bunch of cute stuff. I couldn't resist not grabbing the coupon book, "whimsical ways to say 'I love you'" is what it says on the bottom. It would be a cute gift for the boothangg, &inexpensive too! Can't go wrong. I even saw the dice set that tells you what to do & where. Like kiss lips at the stairs, or something like that haha. Interesting shit. Then I picked up the CG Blossoms Quad, which would be perfect for a valentine's look. Its got pretty shades of pink & purple. &i had been eyeing the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation so I finally grabbed it since I needed a new foundation anyway. I got it in Dark 0 Toffee, which is a new shade, & it fits me hella perfectly! Love it love it love it! After a couple more uses, I'll write a review. Hmm.. I need a new pressed powder, the two I have is a shade too light & a shade too dark. So sometimes I have to blend both together... ghetto.

Alright well that's it for me. I need to cook up some breakfast. :] Much love!

be a coverrgirl

It's been a minute since my last post haha. But anywho senioritis has a hold on me so I thought I'd write up a review as I procrastinate. lol So here goes..

CoverGirl Smoothers SPF 15 Tinted Moisture
3 out of 5 stars
Pros:
+ Evens out my skin
+ Has SPF 15
+ Oil Free
+ Doesn't cause me to break out
+ Gives me a "natural glow"
+ Affordable at around $8
Cons:
- Hard to blend
- Hard to find my shade in stores
- Poor coverage
So basically..
This stuff is alright. I use it everyday for a natural look since I'm usually too lazy to put on foundation. It doesn't give a lot of coverage, but I'm not trippin since my skin isn't all too bad. I just gotta apply concealer first. It does a good job of evening out my skin. However it's really hard to blend, so I usually mix it with my daily moisturizer. Hmm.. it has an impressive lasting power for a drugstore brand. It lasts for pretty much the whole day. It hasn't made me break out, & my skin can be pretty sensitive. In the end this stuff is alright especially for a drugstore brand, but I can't really say I'm in love.
