lately, i've been playing around with different brands, and figuring out where they fit into my normal routine. since said routine often involves not washing my hair, wearing no makeup, and needing constant attention on my lips, i've wrangled up some real beauties recently.
smashbox limitless eyeliner || liquid eyeliner?? girl you cray! i know. i know that's what you're thinking. i - the girl who can't figure out what kind of mascara to buy when entering a drug store - purchased a liquid liner, on the advice of a drug store person. and i gotta tell you. i'm hooked.
smith's rosebud salve || founded in 1895, this company sticks to what it knows. and this salve nails it. i use it for everything - so it's amazing to travel with. i use it for lip balm - of course - but i also use it for a base for my eye liner/shadow, as a brow tamer, and as a subtle sheen for cheeks. the odd time i'll use it for dry skin, and sometimes even to law the smackdown on frizz or static in my hair (fine haired ladies? you out there?). i've written about the strawberry salve before... and this one is sort of a more multi use, and classic version of that one.
kevin murphy 'fresh hair' || i was turned onto dry shampoo with the turn of the short hairdo. aka. my justin bieber hair cut of 2012. kevin murphy is a brand i love - they are paraben and sulfate free, and they smell amazing. and THIS little ditty - this dry shampoo - allows me to extend my washing of hairs for an extra day... sometimes two (if we're being honest with one another). which is amazing. because i hate washing my hair. and i have bangs - so all my bang-ed sisters out there feel me.
deborah lippman nail polish || i was only recently hooked on deborah lippman, though the connection was a long time coming. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY SPARKLE NAILPOLISHES SHE MAKES?! a lot. it's sort of her thing. so needless to say, when i was at a salon event recently, and they were offering a discount on these teensy tiny combo packs of DL polish... in a SPARKLY CHANGE PURSE.... i was sold. and it's amazing. biotin and green tea extract, and none of the terribly four. so not only is it not bad for my nails - it's actually helping them grow. swoon. and - of course - i love any nail polish in tiny bottles. they are perfect for travelling, and because i get bored so easily.
can i call myself a woman now? please?
