Well....there wasn't so much a reduction this month. I did finish several sample sized items but no full size items and tossed a few brushes that are falling apart.
I repurchased a Toner that I finished my last sample size of a few months ago. I have been noticing my skin changing for the worse since I stopped using it so I buckled down and bought it. I bought 2 foundations I've been eyeing for a long time and they were 50% when I purchased them and are total opposites one is full coverage where as the other is a "no-makeup" makeup day option. And I bought an eye shadow palette. I also got 2 new brushes.
It has a press style pump at the top. 1 pump on a cotton round morning and night and I saw a difference in the texture and brightness of my skin in just a few days. I also use the REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk every day, almost used up that probably another week or so. It is the first cleanser I have found I can use every day.
Foundations. I have wanted both of these for over a year, but I could never justify the price point. When I found them both 50% off, it became reasonable to try them. They also fill very different needs or reasons to wear foundation.
I wear the shade Ivory 10
I'm not a huge fan of the applicator as it's a stick with a ball on the end. I much prefer a pump, but it is very full coverage, which has it's place and as my skin gets more dry I have found my older full coverage foundation no longer works for me.
I wear Porecelain.
This was ORDERED in June, but wont arrive til July. I will do a small review next month.
Very small palette, about the size of my hand, it is going to be great for travel, I have worn it every day since I got it, I love doing 1 color all over and this is proving to be wonderful for that during the day. If I am going out I can add some shimmer to the lid.
These brushes are amazing. They are so well made, by hand in Japan. These are NOT vegan brushes, they are natural fiber brushes (goat). They apply product beautifully, so easy to use, easy to clean. But I hate paying full price for anything ever, so their concept store is great. You get 50% off from the start with the understanding that 2 weeks after receiving the product you will provide feedback for them. Some of the brushes in the store are their main line, while others are produced in a limited run with the aim of getting the make up community to provide feedback.
I went 5 months without buying any make up-, I feel okay about doing a little splurge this month as a celebration for getting through the hardest year in my teaching career.
Signing off for Now
