This has been a crazy, hectic, busy, fun, empowering month for me. I'm back in class now taking a mix of classes I find interesting and classes I tolerate because I have to. I have a part time job that I love. And, today I made a huge decision and decided to invest in myself and get a personal trainer. Our first official workout is bright and early Monday morning. With that in mind I am sure that this blog will begin to include healthy living...and makeup. Lately my body has been sore and tired all the time as I have started going back to the gym very frequently doing the workout my personal trainer made for me during our first meeting a few weeks ago. All I can say is the stuff he has me doing is way more brutal than the treadmill I have been using this summer. I am really excited about this new healthier chapter in my life!
Granted, my room is still a total mess from moving back home but I am planning to make a dent in it tonight. I just don't know where to start. I would love to have one of this pretty rooms where I can display my makeup and jewellery. Right now everything just looks like a mess.
Empties
Marc Anthony Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner - LOVE. I love how it smells and how rich and creamy the formula is. Such a treat in the shower.
Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo - Meh.
Caudalie Face Cream - Like. I could see myself using this on a regular basis. Light, absorbs well. Not sure yet though.
Ole Hendriksen On the Go Face Cleanser - LOVE. This orange scented face wash is a staple in my life.
Living Proof Restore Conditioning Treatment - LOVE. The best deep conditioner I have so far tried. I love how thick and creamy it is, and how I can feel the results in my hair for the rest of the week.
Living Proof Prime Spray - Like. I bought the full size and I use it...but not as much as I use other products.
Body Shop Shea Body Scrub - Like. Nice smell and wonderful texture, butI prefer their Honey scent.
MAC Blush "Vintage Grape" - LOVE. Sadly this colour goes for like $70 on E-bay. My favourite all time contour/blush. The perfect deep purple shade. sadly it fell for the 4th time and shattered beyond repair. Typically I use the rubbing alcohol method but it was too far gone even for that. :'(
Joico Deep Conditioner - Meh. Doesn't compare to the Living Proof conditioner.
Dr. Jart+ BB Cream - Meh. Nice enough product, but there about 8 different BB creams I prefer so sorry not sorry.
Even More Empties
Based on the foil packet samples I really love the Air de tent by Lancome (foundation in 005), Glamglow Thirstymud (which I already own in full size), Ole Hedriksen Melt Cleanser, his Power Peel, and the Marc Anthony Coconut Deep Conditioner.
The Purge
I counted and I have 41 unused mini mascaras. That is ridiculous. So, I am making a concerted effort to use them, to pitch the ones I don't like, and to pitch the ones that reach the 3 month mark.
On the left is my favourite Stila liner. I love it for a simple cats eye.
The Dior mascara and Smashbox Full Exposure are two of my all time favourite mascaras. I love the bug fluffy brush and the volume they build. It made me sad to throw these out, but if they are still my favourites once I get through the other 41 mascaras then I will happily buy them again.
The Buxom mascara was a real surprise for me. I loved it-- very lengthening. Its on my list to possibly purchase when I get through my pile.
These have been lurking around my bathroom since who knows when. If I can't remember when I bought it then its been too long and needs to go. Besides, they were taking up precious real-estate that could have been filled with products I actually love.
So that's it for my September update. Hope things have been great with you! Happy October <3
