Well. I’m on part 2 of my weekend. Seems I’ll have more work for this week and next week. A new hire at work walked out on her first day. So they shuffled people around and I get an extra day this week and next week. Both are full shifts so that’s always nice.
But it’s my day off. I really should try to stop thinking about work for a moment. I think I’ll post about something I’ve been doing more of lately since the weather has gotten better. Makeup.
My mother works in the cosmetics section, so she gets sent all of these free samples to try. She got quite a bit at a convention she went to a month ago. So quite a bit of it ended up being my birthday present. Not complaining at all.
One of the things I got was a primer and eyeshadow combo from CoverGirl. It’s oil based, so it will last for a long day out and about. I haven’t used it on it’s own yet (but you can!), instead I have been putting eyeshadow over it.
This is one I got last year that I recently opened. The black and silver are very shimmery. So I use the silver as the base coat (even though it’s supposed to be the browbone) , a light touch of pink halfway through (can’t entirely coat my eye with it since too much pink on me doesn’t match the rest of me) and a little brush of black at the outer part of the lid.
I also have a nice collection of mascaras. I use this one the most though:
As for the boring foundation and powder part. I use basic CoverGirl TRUBlend for that currently. A bit of some blush, then for the lips. LipSmacker. Because I have a gigantic collection. Like everything else I have, most of this stuff is given to me and it collects over time. Just like my bath product collection… Combine all of that on my face and you get:
