Hello, my name is Mel, and I have a far too expensive taste to live reasonably within my means. It is for this reason that I have lust lists. It includes just a few of the things I would frivolously purchase once my wealth is comparable to Smaug's.
left to right; top to bottom:
- SHISEIDO: Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion+ Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ For Face/Body
- I've been using a sample of this product for a week now and I have not broken out-- a keeper! What I like most about this product is its watery consistency. Since it is not as thick and creamy as most sunscreens, it blends well into skin, affecting neither your natural color nor texture. Just be careful pouring it, as it can easily spill!
- BENEFIT: The Porefessional
- All my Youtube-idols are talking about it, so it must be awesome, right? I'm not a big primer person (I just have one mini-tube of Smashbox photo ready) but I really enjoy the idea of becoming a big primer person... Also, I've recently developed a complex over my nose pores.
- GLAMGLOW: Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment
- I've never tried it, but this product has been catching my eye for quite a while now... Everyone raves about it, and I've run out of the mask I used to use weekly. Apparently, the Glamglow treatment is
- BOBBI BROWN: Eye Blender Brush
- I've heard that this brush is amazing for applying creamier concealers. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, I have recently purchased a MUFE creamy concealer palette. I've tried every brush and sponge I have but, so far, I have not found an applicator that is better than my finger. I don't think that method is particularly hygienic though, so I really want to give this brush a try.
- BUMBLE AND BUMBLE: Color Minded UV Protective Styling Balm (recommended by Shar)
- As evidenced by my latest post, I've recently colored my hair! Since it was a double-process job, my hair is particularly damaged. I've been switching between color-protect Pantene and Bedhead products for shampoo and conditioner, but I do not have a special color-treated hair styling product. It might do me some good, since my newly damaged hair does not have the same form and texture as it used to.
- ORIBE: Surfcomber Mousse
- One of my most trusted beauty Youtube gurus recently posted about this mousse, and described it to be incomparable to anything else in the market. She also double-processed hair, and her hair is beyond amazing.
I know, I know-- the things in this list are not really too expensive, as they are all less than $100. The thing is, I know there are cheaper options, and if you know me, you know that I am frugal to a fault. Although I splurge occasionally, I'm typically the girl who is outraged by the price Publix vegetables.
i got a little glamglow sample at sephora and it's so great! it makes my skin a little tingly but that's kind of in the name, yeah? i think it's worth the buy :)
ReplyDeleteHaha I actually bought the 0.5 oz (along with the Shiseido Sunscreen) almost immediately after blogging about it.
Delete1) I LOVE the mask. It's just as amazing as it claims to be. One thing, though-- "tingle" is definitely an understatement. Last night, I was reduced to tears from the pain of the "tinglexfoliate treatment." The pain stopped after a few seconds, though, and the results were amazing, so I'm definitely planning to purchase the full size. It's a great, albeit painful, product, and I've never used a mask with such immediate results before!
2) This whole blogging --> rationalizing process is starting to look dangerous.
