1) Pearl CCB, and Revlon’s 3D Extreme mascara. This mascara has the worst reviews on MUA but I think it’s absolutely exceptional!

2) I use Blot powder for touch ups and I reapply lipgloss or lipstick.

3) I usually buy makeup twice a month.

Best beauty purchase:

What do I touch-up during the day? My lipstick and/or lipgloss

How often do I buy new makeup? As often as I can!(LOL) I feel the need to buy new highend makeup each week, but realistically I can’t afford to. I’ve tried buying drugstore makeup to quench the cravings, but it never really works–the quality, colors, textures, etc, never live up to my standards. 🙁 So, I’ve made a little deal with myself to buy new highend makeup once a month!

2. Lipgloss + eyeliner
3. Recently it’s been weekly, though previously it has been more random.

1. Covergirl eye shadow in lime alive. I know covergirl! Normally, their eyeshadows are really chalky but I wanted to try this one because it was a pretty lime color. I have no problem spending $14+ on neutral shades that I know I will go through but I can’t spend that much on crazy colors that I might only use a handful of times. I was really surprised how much I liked this. There was some fallout but the color payoff was great and you can’t beat $3! Very happy.
2. Lips and powder.
3. A couple times a month.
