Beaute De Kose Multi Reflection Color Eye & Cheek color. Regret for the high price but love it because it’s so versatile and lovely color payoff…
Mac Studio Moisture Tint. I didn’t plan to buy it according to swatches and reviews on here and elsewhere but when I swatched it on my hand in the store, I loved the color (light is simply perfect for my complexion) and texture. I picked it up without thinking. I don’t regret because light covering is what I prefer and the product is comfortable and even my face without charging it.
Bobby Brown cream concealer kit – and boy, that was some good idea!
Nars Pleasures of Paris eye shadow palette. Its sooo pretty!
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Stash and I love it!
I never wear lip products, only lip balm, and sometimes very nude lip gloss. I love the way lipstick looks, just for some reason I think it looks funny on me and I end up fidgeting with it until it wears off.
I bought a lipstick and gloss from clinique, and then 2 long lasting lip gloss things from revlon. I still can’t do it.
I need a lipstick intervention or something!
Estee Lauder lipstick in Vintage Mauve
MLBB effect!
NARS nail polish in Tokaido Express. I had to have it!
Anna Sui lipstick and giorgio Armani lipstick. <3
Urban Decay’s Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss in David. Yes, I LOVE it! It’s the least sticky gloss I’ve used, and it stays on forEVER.
I haven’t picked one up yet even though I want to. They smell like maple brown sugar oatmeal, which I love that smell.
I have it in “Doug” and it tastes and smells yuck. 🙁
Clarins eye contour gel and La Roche-Posay hydraphase face cream. I regret the high price but so far so good. It’s hard to invest in skin care products since you can’t see the results instantly… hopefully when I’m in my 40s I’ll be happy! lol
I went into Sally’s beauty supply to get some clips for my girls hair and came out with a stash of nail polish, some lip glosses and lip liner. At least they weren’t expensive!
Any time I go to MAC I have an impulse purchase 🙂
bobbi brown 6-pan palette and heather mauve eyeshadow to go into it. lovingg it so far 🙂
mac lipstick in Craving (:
guerlain loose kohl. While I love the black, the blue and brown was an impulse buy that I’m not really fond of.
MAC Off The Page, I was certain I wasn’t going to get it but caved since it was so gorgeous.
When I saw that Urban Decay had a Book of Shadows Vol. II I bought it the next day it came out. I’m in the process of moving and all my stuff is packed and not at the apartment anymore so for the next week I only have this palette and I love it. It has everything, 16 e/s, travel size zero and bourbon 24/7 and a mini primer potion.
what do u mean UD book of shadows 2? i though they only came out with one of them, the one from last christmas which they repromoted ? did they come out with another one?
bleach and platinum hair dye. no, it turned out great 🙂
UD liquid liner in perversion
That was probably my real impulse buy to get free shipping on my Book of Shadows on the website.
My last beauty buy was MAC’s Photo Realism quad, but I already knew I wanted it. I guess my last “impulse” buy was MAC’s lipstick in Hue. I absolutely love it!
My last impulse buy was the Benefit to-go Boi-ing and Eye Bright duo. For only eight bucks, I figured why not, I love Benefit. I’m still testing it out, but I’m liking it so far. =]
My last impulse buy was the Photorealism quad.. I first went to see it when the collection launched but didn’t really catch my eye.. I only got Push the Edge pigment.. well I kept seeing great FOTD’s with the quad and had to go back and get it! I love the colors!!
I feel like every makeup purchase I make is an impulse buy!
the last thing I bought that I just absolutely love – UD 24/7 liner in Underground
(i have my sis to thank for that!)
Definitely the Hello Kitty Crystal Compact. I love the compact and the mystery powder inside is just ok and I though it was really really expensive.
MAC Technokohl eyeliner in “Artistic License”. It’s a very bold, vibrant blue. I get great comments on it all the time. It lasts all day and it doesn’t smear onto my upper eyelid.
Sephore OPI Matte nail polishes, and I love them!
jin soon choi for MAC’s cool reserve nail lacquer (the gray-ish lavender one.) i had planned on beyond jealous and dirty martini only, but when confronted with cool reserve, i couldn’t say no! it’s the perfect pastel for fall, and it’s unique enough that i don’t see it on everyone else’s tips.
Too Face Natural Eye Kit. <3 it!
Today after work I went to Lush and purchased something from that brand for the first time after reading a lot of positive reviews. I bought the Brazened Honey Face Mask…can’t wait to try it out tonight!
I threw a tantrum over the state of my skin and bought MAC’s green gel cleanser. I don’t regret it at all, it’s wonderful.
MAC Dazzleglass in Local Colour. I normally don’t really like Dazzleglasses because they have way too much glitter for my liking. But when I saw Local Colour I just had to have it, since it’s such a pretty color ! 🙂
