...I Spent Waaaay Too Much Money Last Weekend

Ah, Gustavos weekends... where I get my much needed girl time and my bank account gets decimated.  Worth it? Definitely.  And because of schedules, it only happens like once every six months or so, which we're working on fixing, but it was so needed and was a fitting end to my Spring Break.

So, haul time!  Beyond two new dresses (for under $20 together HECK YES) and a couple of more expensive blouses, I got a bunch of new makeup items.

At Ulta:  Ulta has had a beautiful sale going on, and on Saturday they had Bare Minerals mascara on sale for $9. Half price? I am about that life, lemme tell you.  (I used Ashley's a while back and loved it).  I also picked up NYX BB Cream and Pore filler.

At Target:  We decided to make a drug store makeup run because some of us (ahem, me) can't get over the mental hang up of spending more than $15 on a single item of makeup.  I'm cheap, I can't help it.  I got a bunch of e.l.f. items; including setting spray, brush cleaner, lip exfoliator, and a 32 eye shadow pallette. I've already used the pallette, and I love it.

At Sephora:  The last Gustavos weekend, we went to Sephora and I wanted (but couldn't justify at the time) this two ended lipstick set from Bite Beauty.  It includes the colors "Fig" and "Date".  I still wanted it just as much this time, so I treated myself.

P.S. In my haul photo, I included a buy from Old Navy, e.l.f.'s Face Primer.  I didn't get it this past weekend, but it's still less than a week old, so it deserves a place.

I am also not completely sure what the big deal is about BB Cream... I've Googled and I still don't completely understand, anyone care to explain? A more detailed review is coming soon, once I've given them a good try.

Christmas Wish List

Merry Christmas everyone!! We hope you have an amazing Christmas time with lots of wonderful food and beautiful makeup gift sets. :)

Ashley's Christmas wish list. 

I would love to try out some morphe shadows. I've heard some great things about them from many youtubers. The it's bling and color glam palettes just stand out to me for some reason. I really like the it's bling palette cause they are suppose to be metallic colors which is something I don't have in my eye shadows collection. The color glam palette has all those colors! I usually don't go towards a lot of bright colors. I like more pinks and purples in eye shadows. These two eye shadow palettes would make me try new options for eye shadows. 

35E - it's bling palette 

35B - color glam palette

I don't have any highlighters so I would like to try one out. This is another product that I have heard good things about. I really want the Becca shimmering skin perfector pressed in opal. I actually have a couple of gift cards to Ulta so I think I might be getting this sometime (hopefully when we have another Gustavos weekend!)

I don't really have any designer lipsticks therefore, I would love to try Nars Audacious lipsticks! Like the other two product brands, I've heard some good reviews on this too! Look at that packaging, it's so pretty. I also like how the top is magnetic so there's no chance of dirt getting into the lipstick. 

Annabella - poppy red

Claudia - cool pink

Hey y'all!  Megan here.  I really only have two things for my wish list, but they're both a little more expensive than I want to spend.  (Wishing for some Christmas money!!)

Two of the Timewise trio

The first is Mary Kay's Timewise 3 step cleansing system.  It retails through Mary Kay at around $90ish, so it's really more of a dream product for me at the moment.  I have a friend who is a Mary Kay lady, and every time I go over for a party or something and I use it, my face always feels super smooth.  I also have really bad combination skin, and it keeps down oil while moisturizing my dry areas.  It's fantastic.

My other wishlist item is the Urban Decay Naked palletes.  Any of them.  I love how pigmented the shadows are and the sheer variety of neutrals that Urban Decay has blows my mind.  Any time I get to play around with one of the palletes, I'm like a kid in a candy store!  Any of those retail around $50.
