I have babysat for friends twice in this past couple weeks, and I really needed to spend the money. I'm not much of a saver-of-money, and it was burning a hole in my wallet! I had my mum take us by HEB+ on the way home from school on Tuesday and I splurged on some makeup I desperately needed.
First of all, I bought myself a new foundation(slash powder, slash concealer-as the website says) from CoverGirl. It's called: Ultimate Finish: Liquid Powder Makeup. I absolutely love this, and I've been using it for years...siriusly...and yes I misspelled "serious" on purpose...we'll get to that later. Back to the makeup: This is a really good buy, but not as inexpensive as I'd like. It'll cost you around $7 at HEB; but it is worth it. Trust me!...PS: My shade is Classic Ivory, just so you know.
I also bought an E.L.F Powder in Ivory. This is also a favorite of mine that I've been using for quite some time. It works really well with both the included powder puffs, and their total face brush. It has really nice coverage and works well over my foundation, even if they're not the same brand.
I also really, really needed a new blush because mine had bit-the-dust, so to speak. It was really not prepared to hit my face again. I opted to splurge for a good blush, partly because I needed one and partly because I had the money to do so. I ended up buying: Rimmel London blush in Pink Rose- shade 003. This is a really pretty baby-pink color. It works well with all my other makeup and complements my face well. So..its a good buy for me!
Another new item of mine was something that I didn't really need, but thought would it would be good anyways. I bought a Cover Stick by N.Y.C. It's really nice, creamy, and blend-able...which is good. I put this on after the foundation and before the powder, so it hides everything underneath. We shall see if this can stand up to the test of time...and the wear-and-tear of a typical school day.
Okay, back to the "Sirius" comment earlier. One of my absolute, all-time, most amazing, favorite loves of ever and ever has been: HARRY POTTER! I've loved the movies for as long as they've been out and I read the first four books when I was just a 2nd grader! I hadn't really realized just how long it had been since I had left them. I picked up the 6th HP book: The Half-Blood Prince at my local library and skimmed through it quickly. (I just watched the movie, so I sort-of knew what was going to happen.)
But, it wasn't until I began talking with my friends at school about it and reading the 7th book when I finally realized something: I AM AN OBSESSIVE PERSON! It was just like this last summer with Twilight (and it's 3 counterparts) ...but there is just something (forgive me for the pun) magical about these books. I have absolutely fallen in love with them. And like I did with Edward and Bella in Twilight (sometimes Alice and Jasper), I also fell in love with the supporting-character couple of Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. I think their whole relationship is really cute!
Anyways, I have to go get ready for Youth now. So I hope I can get on and blog later! Goodbye for now!
Love Always,
Ashley
