Nov 11 Money Monday

Last month we paid our car insurance for the year.  This is a big financial hit, but one we plan for.  We receive a 10% discount for paying yearly, so we make it happen.

In the past month, we have purchased two used vehicles, both with cash.  Not having a car loan is a large savings over time.  When we sell the vehicles these 'new' ones are replacing, we will put that money back into our savings account.

*bColor Liquid Blush in Party Pink  Very pigmented, a little goes a very long way and lasted all day.

*Beauty Vaulte Regal Palette  Perfect for Fall.  Scooped at Ipsy for $3.50 and worth far more.  Good pigmentation, yet blendable.

*benefit Fan Fest mascara  Pretty good, gave lots of length along with curl.

*Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base  Moisturizing with primer ability?  Say less.  Smells amazing, too.

*Context Bronzer in Undisputed  Looks too dark in pan, but not very pigmented which works better for me.

*dew of the gods Lip Butter in Strawberry Mandarin  Absorbs quickly, isn't sticky, smells good.

*Pacifica Glimmer Shimmer highlight & Fire Lit blush palette  Blush is pretty, highlight is gorgeous.  Comes with a mirror, which is a nice feature for a blush/HL palette.

Finals

Firsts

*bPure Glow up Highlighter  Subtle, but pretty.

*Eloise blush in Bloom  Very light color, but buildable.  

*Farmacy Honey Glow 17% AHA/BHA Resurfacing Acid Serum  Jury is still out on this one.  I can feel it on my face, even first thing in the morning.  At night, my face feels tacky.  Somehow it's not showing up on my pillowcase.  I don't notice a difference, but maybe I will over time?

*ioni 2-in-1 Lash Glue Liner  Nope.  Lashes were jumping off my eyes within 30m.

*Kosas AirBrow  I liked this quite more than I thought I would.  Brows were controlled, but didn't feel stiff.

*Kosas Wet Lip Oil in Unbuttoned  It appears chocolate brown in the tube, but is almost clear on the lip.  Hydrating and long-lasting.

Finals

*L'Oreal Voluminous Primer Base for lashes  It's very meh.  I notice a very slight difference, not worth the extra product step.

*Tresluce Ilusion Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara  It gave lots of length, but no extra volume.

Faves
*Kosas brow gel and lip oil
