The Makeup Monologues

May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This...

Some things just sound too good to be true. I stumbled upon the website Glambot while looking for blog sales a while ago. Used makeup doesn't gross me out in the slightest and I hate paying full price for things, but sales on high-end makeup are few and far between. Plus, tracking down LE collections that you missed out on is torture, and you usually end up getting fakes on eBay. So what's Glambot? It's a used makeup sale site. Like a Plato's Closet for makeup. People sell their used makeup to Glambot, and they sanitize it and sell it for a lower price than retail. The website tells you the fill level and condition of the item you're looking at. They have free shipping on $50-plus orders in the USA and Canada and $90-plus internationally; otherwise, flat-rate shipping is $5 to the USA and Canada and $10 internationally. Prices are in USD. There are tons of items in their sale section and they have a 20% sale just about every weekend. The prices on Glambot ...

This month was a busy one- finals, moving back home, and I've been working nights at a barn away from home for the past two weeks. I didn't wear much makeup at all, which makes this favourites post a strange one. I usually have all-makeup favourites posts, but this month, only one item is makeup related! So let's get down and dirty with it. I've even got a hair product in there! This is the OGX Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist. I've never been one to fuss with my hair beyond blow-drying it on occasion- I can't even be arsed to buy conditioner. However, I saw this in my mom's cabinet while plugging in the hair dryer and thought, "Oh, why not?" This mist makes my hair feel soooo soft and not greasy at all. It has a very strong, sweet coconut scent that lingers for hours. I personally love that- it makes me feel ethereal and very put together. I just spray this on the ends of my hair before I blow dry it and bam, I'm in the trop...
