Friday I got tired of seeing those Mini Tortilla-Crust Pizzas on my Tumblr dash so I made them. I also made some Baked Mozzarella Sticks and Baked Zucchini Fries.

The mozzarella sticks didn’t turn out as pretty (my fault) but everything still tasted great! Even the melted mozzarella sticks. Feeling pretty smug about it… :)

Today I had a quick breakfast at La Madeleine’s and afterwards picked up the Hourglass Ambient Powder Brush. I bought that ambient powder a few weeks ago and still love it but my usual kabuki brush picks up way too much of the powder and I saw reviews saying this brush was really worth it if you use the powder. I have been using my Sephora 15% off for my recent purchases and it expires after this weekend so I wanted to get it while I could get the discount because it’s sorta frivolous feeling.

Received two free samples with my purchase. Neither of which I’ve ever tried before. The Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus eye cream and Josie Maran Argan Oil. Both of which I’ve heard great things. The argan oil I’m most cautious about though because my face and oil rarely play well together. Even if I just use it in my hair at the tips it could brush my face and maybe break me out. So I’m going to wait until after this upcoming wedding I have to go to is over before trying it out.

Lastly I received those organic cotton reusable facial pads I was tweeting about this weekend too.

Ordered these from an Etsy shop and started using them this morning. I think it would be nice to have something reusable as long as they work as well as disposable cotton. I just went through a lot of cotton every single day and yeah I feel guilty about that. These I can just wash with my normal laundry (in the small laundry bag they came with.) So here’s hoping they work as well! *fingers crossed*

Thoughts

I need to purge my eyeshadows because some of the palettes are repetitive and I really love the SUQQU one Karen sent me for my birthday. I think it can replace my two KATE shadows. So I’ll set them aside and see if I go for them anytime soon. Also the Dolly Wink rainbow crystal cream shadow I rarely wear. However the gold version I wear constantly.

I might purge a few blushes too like the Lavshuca because the color is reptitive in my collection.

Most of the opened mascaras are nearly finished. I’ll be opening the Trish McEvoy one very soon. Same with the eyeliners. The 3 middle liquid liners are nearly out.

The Paul and Joe pressed powder is hitting a lot of pan. It’s why I bought the Hourglass powder to replace it. I’ve been using the Hourglass for a week and so far no break outs! Same with the YSL concealer pen. I tried a free sample and liked it so much that it’s my new “go to” concealer. I got it last week with the Hourglass powder and so far no break outs from it either.

Also I thought I had taken a photo of the Burt’s Bees and a few lip balms I use but I couldn’t find it. I like some of their lip tints.

I’m liking the benetint and watts up. Sometimes Benefit face creams (like That Gal) break me out but so far no break outs from these two items. I used the Girl Meets Pearl a few times but not consistently enough to say whether or not it will break me out.
