What a Low-Buy Looks Like + Snowboarding.

I’ve been good at keeping myself from spending on beauty products this month. I’m just recovering from the Holiday bills, so I’m trying to keep the purchases to a minimum. Let’s see, shall we?

  • Sassy Minerals Beauty Spree. All the samples for only $8.50.
  • Tresemme 24 Hour Body Conditioner. I picked up a ginormous bottle on sale for $5.00.
  • MAC New York Apple Lipstick. OMG Back-to-MAC might just be the best thing ever.  I got this one for free!!! after returning 6 empty products.
  • Sephora Flashy Liner in Flashy Mauve. So pretty!  It’s like MAC Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow in waterproof pencil.  Only $9.00.

That’s only $22.50 for the month so far!  I’m so pleased with myself. :)

Some Pictures and Swatches!

Snowboarding Getaway!

In other news, my boyfriend and I drove up north for some snowboarding last weekend.  Unfortunately it rained on Sunday (WTF? it’s January!) so we didn’t get to do more.  I’m definitely itching to go again.  Here are some pictures.

Here I am trying to make my boyfriend’s snowpants look sexy.  LOL.

You always gotta look cute. ;)  Goggles and helmets and all.

Taking a little photo break after a run.  BTW, as you can see, my makeup was very minimal.  I’m wearing the Sephora liner on my lower lash line, one swipe of CoverGirl VolumExact waterproof mascara, and Benefit PosieTint on cheeks and lips.

How’s everyone else doing?  I feel like I haven’t talked to you guys in ages!  What’s new in your life?
