ULTA...You Kill Me!

I'm a sucker for ULTA. I must be, deep down, a girly-girl, although I have vehemently denied it for as long as I can remember. There comes a point when a chic can't deny it any longer... Such as when she is standing in line at ULTA, happily holding her Level 6 rewards coupon. Yes. Level 6. Oh, you want to know how much I spent to get to Level 6? Um. Let's not. My husband might read this. Shhhhhh.

I am now the proud owner of some new Xen-Tan lotion that normally sells for $45 (but I got it free, yippee)! I'm also working my way up the levels as I am not getting a little more adventurous with my makeup choices. I remember being about 12 and picking through Teen Magazine, admiring Debbie Gibson and her blues, greens, yellows and hot pinks. (What was that makeup? Bonne Bell? Dang, wish I could remember.) Anyhoo, I wanted to look like her, be her... But I was never braver than brown.I love brown and all, but why have been afraid of being a tad bit bolder, demanding a little more attention? So, now I'm going to play a little!

I bought my first ever gel eye liner, Maybelline Eye Studio. That's featured in the pic. Not bad for the first time, I think. Then I saw that lovely green Forest Fury Color Explosion eye shadow that reacts to light. Ahhh. I love green. Happy, happy! I'll try that out for you and take a pic in the next few days. I plan to go green for the WF Derby Dame's first bout on Saturday. How can I not go crazy with color and fake eyelashes?! Yeah, I bought some Katy Perry Cool Kitty fake lashes too. :) Putting them on shall be amusing to anyone who gets the privilege of seeing me fumble and mutter curse words while repeatedly poking myself in the eye. Call it a premonition...I know me!

As I continue to experiment, I'll do occasional reviews and updates. I love reviews, and I've found my Amazon App as a my best shopping buddy as I repeatedly scan items just to read reviews before purchasing. Other shoppers call it annoying. I call it savvy. :)

p.s. I just gotta say that the new Blogger changes suck. I'm all about routine and knowing what is coming. I did not see this coming. Boo.
