7 Sins of Beauty Questionnaire

Hey! Decided to slip this quick post in here while I'm working on a longer draft. It's a questionnaire that's gone around the beauty web for awhile but was just posted on the fantastically informative and fun blog, Musings of a Muse. Comment if you want, and share your own!

Greed: What’s your most expensive beauty item?
As of now, a tie between the Sugarpill Sparkle Baby palette and Clinique Redness Solutions pressed powder, both around $34. Technically I guess the powder wins though since there are four full-sized shadows in the palette!

Wrath: What item do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Oooo, that's tough. I guess contouring/bronzing powders. I love the idea but am never sure I have the right shade or have applied the right amount. I guess I just really wish I had a jawline so I didn't need it at all LOL.

Gluttony: What brand takes up most of your collection?
I have soooo many, but Etude House is what I have the most of on my face at any given moment.

Sloth: What product do you neglect the most due to laziness?
Base touch-ups! I carry bb cream and powder with me all the time and hardly ever touch up. And I do need to.

Pride: What product gives you the most confidence?
BB cream (Well, foundation product in general.) I try to spruce myself up with it even if I'm too lazy to put on anything else.

Lust: Which item is top of your beauty wish list?
Impractical for me in so many ways but Guerlain Meteorites, especially the Pucci edition + matching brush.

Envy: Which makeup product/look is great on others but not on you?
Inner corner eye highlighting. I know it's supposed to make eyes look wider set but it makes mine look super-beady and close together.
Mindless beauty fun!

Unicorns are Cooooool...

Unicorns are Cooooool by asnowbunny

I found this 8-bit unicorn dress at ModCloth over the summer. My belt is these colors but is actually a C4 rubber one *plastic fuuuuuun*  Know about C4? You choose whatever belt/buckle colors you want and they put it together and send it off to you! And they donate a bit of profit to one of three charities you can choose from. (IIRC mine was an animal rescue.) I'll do a separate post on the Locketship unicorn necklace including the rest of my little order from them. Oh, and how awesome-saucy is this nail polish?? It's 'Unicorn' by piCture pOlish x blogger Brit Nails. Teal with purple-pink and silver glitter! Be still my beating 80's heart.

Etude House Like20...

Well, my prayers have been answered! The Man helped me turn my thoughts around and see clearly again. Now I feel free to go on a bit about some material luxuries I'm totally digging right now!

Ok, so first, since I said I'd be giving more details on my Like20 love...I'm now on my second jar of finishing cream and went ahead and ordered a full size booster essence. I'll talk about the essence first...

Still kicking it...

I know I haven't been blogging but I'm still here, just...dealing. Depression has been a real PITA the last few months so I've been trying to work that out and not bring it to the blog. Instagramming is pretty fun though since pictures are easier to share than words. Anyhoo, I do have lots of floofy things to blog about. Just need to get a handle of my mindspace first. I have a call coming from BFF tonight to talk about stuff and am praying and praying so...hopefully soon I'll have everything righted.

Winter Mermaid...

I found this Topshop sweater at Nordstrom a couple of months ago. It's super-duper soft. So soft in fact that, when I tried it on, Sprout wouldn't stop hanging all over me and proclaiming it the snuggliest sweater in all the land. That pretty much ended any waffling I'd been doing. Of course, once I finally decided I needed them, BlackMilk stopped making their original mermaid leggings, but I'm hopeful I can find similar ones out there. (That *aren't* cheapos from ebay! Been there, done that, have the ripped-after-two-wearings leggings to prove it.) These TooFast boots...le sigh! I ordered the wrong size and was told the smaller size I needed was OOS *after* I returned them. GREAT shoes, but I'm not really pleased with TooFast's communication so, while I'll keep looking at their shoes, I'll most likely order from a different shop.

Yama Girl polyvore...

This is most definitely an outfit I could rock while hiking or camping! I REALLY hope to try this fragrance one day if I can still find it.

 I have these Black Milk Aurora Skye leggings and can tell you they are absolutely worth the price. They have a heft to them that makes them such good quality. They don't fall off me bum either, and have a fantastic,( non-gathered!) waistband that stays nice and flat.

Etude House Like20...,like, love...

It's time to get real with my skin problems, people. As much as I long to use only the cutest products, now is the time to go for some serious efficacy whether or not the packaging is shaped like an adorable piece of produce or an animal.

Awhile back I discovered EH's Like20 line and it sounded AH-mazing- super-moisture for aging but geared for younger skin that shouldn't be smothered in heavy creams. With my horrible dryness+aging (lines and roughness)+insane blackheads it sounded perfect. Turns out? It is. First I'm going to do a quickie review of each item and then more detailed posts later as I purchase full sizes of some.

I didn't have a ton of moolah for trying out new, full-sized products so I went for this trial kit:

Pic from love-youl on ebay- I ordered it from them and would definitely order from them again!
