Plans: Work, organic chem studying, and hoping to get some personal reading/writing done.

This weeks’s haul: I decided to try three type of products I’ve never before: MAC’s Sun Rush luster drops, tendertone in Hush Hush, and Butterfly pigments. Love the luster drops and tendertone, but it’s probably going to take me some time to figure pigments out (love the colors though!)
