It didn’t take long for me to give into the temptation of placing a Crown Brush order from HauteLook. There was a six piece eye set being offered exclusively. 🙂 I’m already a fan of the eye brushes from Crown Brush so this purchase made sense to me.
(top-bottom) Bent Liner Brush, Angled Liner and Spoolie Brush, Pointed Blender Brush
(top-bottom) Precision Pencil Brush, Blending Fluff Brush, Jumbo Shadow Brush
So much for practicing restraint. 😉

A while back I purchased a nail dotting tool set for myself. I had this set in my possession for only a short period of time. Needless to say my daughters got a hold of it. LOL! I will be sure to hide this set from them. 😉
This was actually a combo set I purchased. The rhinestones and tweezers were also included.
I plan on hiding this entire purchase from my daughters. 😉

This is my first HauteLook purchase of 2014. YAYYY!!! I had a $10.00 credit I wanted to use.
I really like Carol’s Daughter. I can’t always afford the products though. The Winter has been extremely cold in my area. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to add a couple of things to my hair care arsenal.
Healthy Hair Butter Protective Cream Hairdress
Tui Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner
Keeping my hair moisturized during this Winter has been a challenge. Hopefully the Healthy Hair Butter and Tui Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner will give my hair the extra moisture it needs. 🙂
I’m usually strolling through Victoria’s Secret around this time of year. I know there’s a Holiday clearance sale going on.
I have a tendency to gravitate towards the fragrances on clearance because that is something I can easily afford.
Midnight Exotics Forbidden Vanilla Fragrance Mist and Forbidden Vanilla Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream
Midnight Exotics Deep Berry Fragrance Mist and Deep Berry Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream
The fragrance mist and body cream were $1.99 each. Smelling pretty doesn’t have to be expensive. 😉

http://gingerlovesmakeup.wordpress.com/ tagged me in a post.7 deadly sins of make-up. I even went as far as doing an inventory on the makeup so my answers could be accurate. One thing I did learn from all of this, I have a lot of makeup up. LOL! Is that normal?
Greed: What’s your most expensive beauty item? Currently the Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette is the most expensive item in my beauty arsenal. So glad I used the Sephora gift card.
Wrath: What item do you have a strong love/hate relationship with? I have a love/hate relationship with foundation. It can be difficult for me to get that perfect match. I’m darker on my face and neck but lighter on my chest. .The perimeter of my face is darker and the center of my face is lighter.
Gluttony: What brand takes up most of your collection?
Urban Decay. When I started my makeup up journey I was all about MAC. Now I can’t get enough of Urban Decay, especially the 24/7 eyeliners. I also credit Urban Decay for getting me to embrace color eyeshadows. Let’s not forget the UD Primer Potion. Urban Decay changed the makeup up game with that one.
Sloth: What product do you ignore the most due to laziness?
I am lazy when it comes to contouring. I don’t feel like I need it all the time. I will take the time to highlight my face. It gives me a nice healthy glow.
Pride: Which product gives you the most confidence?
Rocking a bold lip color. You can’t tell me I don’t look good. 😉
Lust: What item is at the top of your list?
I am saving my pennies so I can get the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.
Envy: Which makeup product/look looks great on others but not on you?
I have enough confidence in myself to think I can rock anything when it comes to makeup. I wish I could perfect the wash and go on my hair. My hair is coily in texture and wash and go’s end up looking like a matted mess on me. It wouldn’t make sense to attempt the wash and go in the middle of Winter in Pittsburgh, PA. It’s too cold for that. LOL!
