Bringing this post to you a little late this week since I actually bought the stuff on Monday.
For this week, I decided to get a few stuff I've been meaning to try. First off, I wanted to get a beauty sponge for my liquid foundation. I wear powder foundation on most days, but over the past few months I've been wearing more liquid foundation because it takes less time to put on in the morning and it's a bit easier to work with than loose mineral foundation. I've been applying my L'Oreal True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Foundation with my bare fingers, but I find that it leaves it looking streaky and patchy on my face this way. Also, I think applying the foundation with my fingers causes me to waste product. I've heard how wonderful the Beauty Blender is, but I just cannot bring myself to spend $20 on a tool I have no idea how to work with. Therefore, I figured I'd try a $5 beauty sponge from Walmart before I go on to buy the Beauty Blender. Who knows, I might not even need to buy it! I like it because it has both a rounded and precision end, just like the actual Beauty Blender. My only concern is washing the sponge, since it looks like a mecca for bacteria. Hoping a little brush shampoo will do the trick?
Next, I really wanted to try the new Almay Butter Kiss Lipsticks since I'm absolutely head over heels about the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters, which are similar to the new Almay lipsticks. I've raved about the lip butters in multiple lip-related posts ever since their release. They are definitely my most loved lip products, and I own nearly every single shade in the collection. Since Almay and Revlon are the owned by the same company, I've been super excited about the Almay Butter Kiss Lipsticks. From reading the reviews, I hear they're sheerer than the Revlon Lip Butters, but also more hydrating. I'm a huge fan of sheer lip products so this product is a win-win for me. As far as the shade goes, I struggled a little bit to find the one I wanted to try first. I have several berry-toned lip products, the pink shades didn't look too appealing to me, and I'm not a big red lip fan. Therefore, I decided to pick up the Nude Light/Medium shade because from the swatches online, it seems like it's a sheer red-brown shade which makes it a perfect everyday MLBB color. I love those types of lip products because I can throw them in my bag at work and slide some on without having to fuss around or even use a mirror.
I'm super excited to try out the products I got this week! I'm working on a "Winter Makeup Routine" post and I'm pretty sure these products will get some sort of mention because they seem like they're good everyday products (if they work out of course).
