Haul :)

Did some running around today after work... 

Stopped at Sally's.. The China Glaze was on sale... And the two from Orly were just perfect spring & summer colors that I couldn't resist! I was looking for a nice nude but am SO picky with nude polishes, so no luck with that.

----

Next stop was Hobby Lobby... My first time here and I wanted sooo many things but I only got a few, and had two 40% off coupons so I saved quite a bit!

I got this sign, it was 50% so I got it for $7! And the second picture just shows where its home is for now... Not sure if I'm going to hang it somewhere or not, but I thought it looked cute with the jewelry holder.

I also got these two office supply things.. They work great with palettes and will be on my vanity. In the two smaller spaces of the bigger one - I'll keep makeup brushes. And the letter holder is great for my naked palettes since I use them pretty much daily and need them easily accessible. 

I also got two really pretty, super sparkly black holders for my makeup brushes as well but the sparkliness (is that a word...? sparklyness? eh, whatever) didn't show up enough on camera so I figured I'd just mention them. They are gorgeous!

Lastly, the reason I went to Hobby Lobby in the first place.... I saw this in Melmphs youtube video (she's one of my favorite youtube gurus) and I fell in love with it... It was originally $40 (yikes!) but I used the other 40% off coupon, otherwise I would have never bought it... I love it though and now her home is the corner of my vanity :)

If you are looking for an affordable face mask - Queen Helene’s Mint Julep Masque is great for all skin types. It is a deep cleansing clay based, green and minty smelling mask that helps to dry up blemishes and rinses away open comedones (blackheads). After cleansing, pat dry your face and apply once your face is dry. It is green, very thick and has a minty smell - it can be tingly, which some may not like, but it isn’t uncomfortable in my opinion - after a few minutes, it dries and can be washed away using your hands or a washcloth. After removed, apply a toner and then follow up with your moisturizer.

Some of the ingredients include Kaolin and Bentonite, which are both clays (clay based masks are great for acne prone skin), Zinc Oxide, and Sulfur (also great for acne). I highly recommend this mask for anyone with acne prone skin, however it is gentle enough for all skin types and shouldn’t dry your skin out if you have a normal skin type. **Dry skin types may want to choose a more hydrating mask instead.

This mask is great as a weekly treat for your skin, a preventative measure towards future breakouts, or can be used as a spot treatment.

This mask can be found at many dollar stores, drugstores, some beauty supply stores, as well as online. It is around $2-5!

Beauty Tip:

Moisturize!!

It's a common misconception that if you are very oily you don't need to use a moisturizer, or that using one will make your oiliness worse.

However, if you do not moisturize daily (A.M. & P.M.), your skin will overcompensate and produce even more oil!
