The Balm For 5 bucks!!

I loooovee marshalls and Tjmaxx. I cannot express how many amazing deals I find there on the regular. Well today was no difference, I went hunting for some skincare products but nothing really jumped out at me until I hit up the clearance section in beauty.

 I found The Balm Cosmetics Brown Eye Kit for $5 dollars. Why was it five dollars you ask? Was everything broken?

Well, two pieces were missing, as in someone stole them, a mineral eyeshadow and a pressed eyeshadow. But the products that were in it were worth well over five dollars. And yes, I did check to make sure nothing was used or opened.

I ended up with a full size Cheater mascara and I am very excited to use it. I believe it is $20 regularly. A Shady Lady eyeshadow in Shameless Shana, which is a really pretty rich warm brown that is around $16. Also a Balms Away eye makeup remover full size and ready to try and that is also around $20.

Overall, I am very excited for my lunch break finds. Especially since the new Mac Marilyn Monroe collection came out in stores today but everything I wanted was sold out so this was a nice little makeup pick me up =]

30 Day Challenge- Makeup Edition

30 Day Makeup Challenge

Like many women, I have accumulated a lot of makeup over the years. I used to work as a makeup artist for Macy’s so I like to blame them for my makeup obsession. Now that I no longer work there, my makeup collection has not declined. It has expanded. I have many different brands from high end or drugstore and I love them all the same. Except I have gotten into this makeup rut, always reaching for the same key products while the others just sit in the drawer unloved.

Well I have decided that must change. So I gave myself a challenge. For thirty days, every day use different products for my daily makeup. If I don’t use certain products by the end of the 30 days, they get swapped or given away.

I’m always watching youtube videos and reading reviews and buying new products cause they are "limited" and now I have way too much makeup.

It’s time to change it up =]
