Wow, it's been awhile since I blogged and it's a total fail since I said I would write more entries during my short break last week. If it's any consolation, there weren't anything exciting that happened to talk about anyway!
This is my first week of summer session and I haaaaaate it. I'm taking speech, which is pretty terrifying because I'm not one who can speak articulately when put on the spot/talking in front of other people. Luckily, I got through the first of four speeches today. So relieving! It was quite dreadful sitting there, summing up the courage to go up there to speak, but I convinced myself it will be ok because once I get home I'll have a package waiting for me! Haha.
My package from Ulta came about 30 minutes after I got home and I was so excited to open it. I bought two Real Techniques brushes: the Expert Face Brush and the Fine Liner Brush. These brushes are from Samantha Chapman (Pixiwoo on Youtube) and I've heard a lot of great things about her line. I'm really looking forward to using the Expert Face Brush to apply cream/liquid foundation. The bristles are really dense but soft so it should do an excellent job at blending out the product. I bought the Fine Liner Brush because I wanted to try Maybelline's Eye Studio Liner, which I heard is comparable to the Bobbi Brown Gel Liner but for half the price. There was a brush that came with it but I prefer the thin liner from Real Techniques since it allows for greater precision--whether you want a thin line or a thicker line. Lastly, I got the Freeman's Dead Sea Minerals Mask because there are quite a lot of good reviews on it. I have a tendency of gravitating towards face masks and I'll be trying it out tonight to see if it lives up to the reviews!
