Ulta has wonderful sales right now- 40% off Nyx makeup for one. They're already not terribly expensive. It's a brand I've wanted to try more of for ages, and the closest Ulta just expanded to carry their whole line of color cosmetics. I got...

Liquid Crystal glitter liner in Crystal Pewter- tiny silver, lavender and light blue sparkles.
Ultra Pearl Mania in Jade and Space- loose shimmers. Jade has a golden cast and Space is a medium, cornflower shade.
Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk- a matte white. I've heard it makes an excellent base for shadows of all kinds.

Great Googlymoogly...

Today's Google Doodle- by Marimekko! Suh-weet.

OMGmusthave...

I've LOVED the last two years of summer collections by Zoya. 2010 was the year of the Sparkle collection which I have four of (and will get a fifth- the purple one, Mimi.) It included Charla (of ten-dupe fame) the aqua-delicious hight of gorgeousness. In 2011, Zoya did the Sunshine collection of gold-shimmer infused colors. I have Rica (perfect, sparkly coral) and Faye (pinky-purple enigma). Even the ones I wouldn't wear, I love to look at in swatch picks. And I'm beyond excited to see...

Tracie looks very close to Sinful Colors Olympia which I just got but I'm hating the formula so I might have to get the Zoya instead. AND ZUZA?? If it's not my next most-byootyfull-polish-in-the-entire-world-ever I'll be really surprised. Can.Not.Wait.

I'm the Noxzema Girl...

Not really, but those commercials were so silly when I was growing up! Anyway, I really have started using good ol' Noxzema and it's reputation is deserved. It rocks. My insane skin has become a lot less pore-rific yet not grown scales from overdrying. I've had some minor purging pimples but it's not too scary. Sometimes the classic/no-gimmick products are the best. (If also the stinkiest and least-interestingly packaged.)
