My sister always gets mad at me because I make a huge Sephora trip right before my birthday and she ALWAYS gets me a Sephora gift card. I explain that there are ALWAYS more cosmetics to buy!
Sometimes I get in cosmetic purchase ruts. I do feel that one can never have too many lipsticks or lip glosses. I don't buy blush too often because my cheeks are naturally pink. I'm committed to my foundation brands. What am I missing? Portable eyeshadows!
When I first got into bare Minerals, I bought a whole bunch of their eyeshadows. I love their versatility, but loathe that they're not very portable. Eyeshadow singles are also not ideal for me, but sometimes I can't resist the packaging or the color. (Urban Decay and Hard Candy, I am talking to YOU!) I'm trying to resist carrying 30+% of my makeup wardrobe in my purse all the time (really not easy for me). What's a girl to do when making the work to play switch as often as I do?
Bless Pop Beauty for coming to my rescue! I first saw their eyeshadow wallets when a girlfriend purchased the 'green eyes' kit. I looked at all of the kits they had and was finally seduced by the "Day to Play" palette. (How handy!) 24 eyeshadows in mattes, sheers, shimmers and brights for any possible look I could want, all secured in a shiny silver wallet. It fits perfectly in my purse and came with a double-ended brush suitable for lining and blending. I also loved that the packaging came with a couple of paint-by-numbers-esque looks for people who are too hesitant to blend colors (or just new to the whole 6 shades of eyeshadow application method). It hasn't left my bag since I bought it and even came in handy on my friend's wedding day! I've also finally realized my dream of carrying less than 10 beauty items in my purse! Go me!
