thinking about doing one this year, but all of the items would probably
be the same.
I feel like making a list of things I like right now. I have this weird urge to make lists all of a sudden.
So, without further ado, a list.
Things I Love Right Now
- Sephora Indulgences Purifying Hand Wash in Vanilla Frosting: I
originally ordered this to put myself into free shipping, fully
expecting a crappy, generic hand soap like the Method I've been
buying. What I got actually shocked me. A very thick,
creamy, highly scented, lightly-lathering hand soap that does not dry
out my hands and leaves behind an amazing scent. The Vanilla
Frosting scent is better than I expected. This is the best hand
soap ever, and I'll probably pick it up in all the other scents.
It's a shame they discontinued Banana Foster and Chocolate Raspberry,
cause those would kick ass. - Sephora Indulgences Whipped Body Delights: I
have this in a bunch of scents. My favorite at the moment is
Vanilla Frosting (which is shimmery!) closely followed by Marshmallow
Fluff and Coconut Nectar. They're thick and creamy without being
greasy, and they're excellent at locking in moisture. The scents
are great. Again, would be awesome in Banana Foster and Chocolate
Raspberry. Hear me, Sephora? Quit discontinuing the good
stuff!!
- Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Extreme: Quite
possibly my favorite fragrance of all time. It's the perfect
lasting vanilla. It's not sticky, cloying, fake or
overpowering. It's like vanilla beans and sugar, and it lasts all
day. I could wear this every day. It layers well with
pretty much everything. On initial application it smells a little
weird, kind of like benzoin, but after about 15 minutes it settles
quite nicely and remains the same for hours. - Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar:
Noticing a trend here? I'm a vanilla fiend. I just can't
help myself. The thing I love about Bath and Body Works is that
you can layer to your heart's content because they make every product
you can think of in every scent. I have shampoo, conditioner,
body wash, body butter, body cream, shimmer lotion, shimmer spray...
You name it, I have it in this scent. It's not so strong that you
overtake the room with your fragrance, and it layers well with other
things. I used to hate it, but now I love it.
- L'Oreal Volume Shocking Mascara: Screw
Diorshow, this stuff OWNS! It is by far the best mascara I have
ever used. It has a bit of a learning curve, but the end result
is so worth it. I like my lashes to stand out, and this gives the
effect of false lashes. Length, volume, everything. I have
been through 8 or more tubes of this stuff and I don't plan on buying
any other mascara ever again. Only disclaimers: You need a good
metal lash comb, and try not to get your lashes wet because this stuff
runs. - NARS Albatross: It's
described as a "blush/highlighter." It's a subtle white-gold
shimmer (more of a glow than a shimmer) and it's absolutely
perfect. I can use it everywhere and it's the perfect amount of
glow without being obvious, shimmery, glittery or shiny. I can
put tons of it on and it still looks natural.
- MAC Bronzer in Refined Beyond Bronze and Golden: I
am very pale, so Refined Beyond Bronze seems like a weird choice.
I think being pale is actually what makes this shade so great. I
contour or slightly bronze with Golden when I want an extremely subtle
effect. Golden is the perfect shade. But when I want to add
a little drama or more definition, Refined Beyond Bronze is
perfect. I just very lightly tap my bronzer brush into it, and
buff it onto my cheekbones. Just that tiny touch of bronzer makes
my skin look amazing and it's seamless. You can't even tell it's
on, but you can. Makes sense, right? - Smashbox Cream Eyeliner in Caviar: I
use an extremely short-bristled stiff angled brush to apply this, and
it provides the most perfect, tightest line ever. It is only
smudgeable (real word?) for about 15 seconds, and once it dries it's
bulletproof. It's such a rich, dark black but it doesn't look
hookerish. - Isle of Eden Sugar Scrubs: Yes,
they're great for the body, but I've been a bad girl, using them on my
face. They're thick, not the least bit oily, and they're very
rough. It's maybe a little too rough for the face, and the
fragrance oil burns like hell, but they make my skin absolutely
perfect. I use one every day, sometimes twice, and my skin is
incredibly clear, smooth and perfect. They rinse completely clean
and they smell amazing, too.
- Lip Fusion Lip Fusion XL: It's
almost absurdly expensive, but it works. It plumps and smoothes
and it DOESN'T BURN. Don't get me wrong, I love those burny ones
(Lip Venom, Lip Injection...) but I hate having red lips. This is
slightly glossy, plumps gently but effectively and keeps my lips a nice
pale shade. Only downsides are the packaging which gets scratched
easily, and the weird minty flavor. I don't want my lipgloss to
taste like toothpaste.
Ten seems like a nice, even number. I think I can stop
there. I still feel like making lists. Maybe I'll make
another list... I feel like organizing things.
I've noticed that my blog is lacking in something very important.
Porn! Maybe I'll get out the camera and take some pictures (of
makeup, don't worry.) to go along with my babbling. Everyone
loves porn.
