Believe it or not I haven’t been on much of a makeup kick but I did pick up some random items while school shopping for the kids, tisk tisk. This isn’t a proper haul per say but I said wth, why not talk about them anyway!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers – I can see why every one and their mother owns this eyelash curler! It literally grips every lash without tugging or leaving that harsh crimp. I love my Chanel one but it was on its last leg and needed to be replaced. The SU really suites the shape of my eyelid and opens wide enough to get as close as I can to my lash line. I play no games when it comes to eyelash curling!

Fig + Yarrow Complexion Water – I own so many setting sprays and facial mists but this is by far my favorite! It hydrates the skin while balancing it, plus it’s extremely refreshing! It contains rose, sandalwood and neroli which are the main notes but I must say the blend is very soft. Can it also get an A+ for packaging?

Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Color in Milky Way – For those who’ve been around these parts know my signature lip is a brown-y nude. This shade of brown has some grey undertones making it a gorgeous grundge nude. The formula is smooth and opaque with a cream finish. I love when I find products on whim vs. hyped up ones, this was win win!

  • Leticia (Thee Limited Edition)

    A’nit nothing wrong with a little treat yo self! LOL!

    I really need to invest in a good eyelash curler! Mine currently catches my lashes at the ends which means I almost yank them out to get the curler off my eyeball, it’s torture.

    • Thanks babe lol! You must give them a go!

  • Annabel

    I STILL need to get a pair of curlers, I must be the only person without!

    • Thank you my dear! I can’t believe I waited this long to try them, they’re amazing!

  • Everydaymelissa

    I’ve never used an eye lash curler, I have decently long lashes, but I’m kinda intrigued to start using a pair.

    • OMG what???!!!!! I promise once you start using them it will change your life forever! I have decent lashes as well but my problem is curl & length not so much volume. They really do change the way your face looks. My #1 beauty tool !

      • Everydaymelissa

        Yeaaa, LOL! I don’t know why I just never needed them, my lashes were always long and curled. But over the last two years they’re not as curly as they used to be, but not by much! Maybe I’ll pick up a pair, who knows..haha

  • Laarni
