I likewise figured that while I was at it, I may also put some other things in my cart!

Next thing you know, there’s a jar of new Moon in there (it’s on backorder, boo) as well as a tube of dimensions de Chanel Mascara. I was likewise going to throw in couple Stylo Yeux eyeliners (you know, the twist ups), however I’ve been truly pleased with the dark brown Ilia liner I’ve been utilizing lately, as well as I’m toying with the concept of really completing it. GASP, I KNOW!

My preferred Chanel mascara
I was just about to add a stick of the $40 young boy de Chanel brow pencil (from the line marketed to men) that I like when I discovered there is likewise a “ladies” version available. After some quick sleuthing I realized, 1) they both have a similar component list, 2) both pencils hold the exact same amount of product as well as 3) the women’s version costs less — it’s $33! So, yeah. I like ya, young boy de Chanel, however if this haul happens, I’m gonna choose the somewhat much more inexpensive version.

If (when?) I really pull the set off — as well as I may since my will power is truly starting to break down — then I ought to add a lipstick or two into the mix, right? perhaps a new red? Chanel does some amazing reds.

Oh, speaking of red lipstick, I put a warm red on my infant for the very first time ever! I utilized MAC rather the Standout on Coywolf for her dance recital last weekend.

I did this lip freehand without any type of lip pencil or a lip brush, as well as I have to say, I believe I did OK! The women in her group danced to “Candy Cane Lane” by Sia, which is why they were all dressed up like wonderful bit candy canes.
