Sassy Saturday #18: What I'm Reaching For

Lately I've been in  bit of a slump. I'm trying, to work it out. But I keep reaching for the same things. Because honestly, if it requires more than a hairclip to do my hair, it's not happening. Makeup, is at a minimum. Three products, are the max, on most days. I'm just not that into makeup...right at this second.
 


And where I might lack in caring about makeup...sunscreen and moisturizer are never a place I skip. This is my daily pal. We have been BFFs, for years. I've tried others, but this is ALWAYS, where I come back to. I LOVE you Healthy Defense!
 

Along those same terms, Nivea's Berry Swirl is my BFF. I like the little hint of flavor. The texture is amazing. Ladies, I had chronically dry lips. Like I had the bad habit, of peeling the dry skin, off of my lips. It all changed, when I found this gal. And as you can see, she is well loved!


Along the "lip lines," I'm still reaching for Covergirl's Lip Perfections. I have so many colors! I like the light feel, that they have. And the color is nice. Especially, when you are not wanting too much color. But they are buildable. So it's all up to you!


And if we're going to stay in the lip family, we have to talk about Wet n Wild's lipsticks. These Megalast Lip Colors, were a total "boredom buy." I was at Walgreen's one day. Looking at nail polish. When I heard the "Makeup Girl" talking about these. And they were on sale, for $1.

So I went and picked up 5. Because, what was there to lose? Honestly, I couldn't narrow down the colors. When I went to pay, the cashier gave me some coupons. $1 off Wet n Wild lip products. So they were free! :)

And they have been a favorite of mine, ever since. Not because they were free. Although, that made me smile. But because of their staying power. The darker colors, are AMAZING! No smudging. They last. And they are not drying.

My favorite color, happens to be Wine Room. I was joking with Manders, that when I wear it, I feel like I have Selena lips. But honestly, the color is gorgeous. And looks good, on many different skin tones. I probably wear Wine Room, 5 days a week. It's easy. And fast. And so affordable!


And along with a good lip color, there have to be nice eyelashes. Most days, I only wear 3 products. Moisturizer, lip color, and mascara. I've tried so many different types of mascara. High end, to drugstore. And Covergirl's Lashblast...is still my favorite. The orange tube. Waterproof. Blackest black. Nothing else will do. Oh, and ladies don't forget to curl your eyelashes! It makes a world of difference.

 
One of my favorite Christmas presents this year, would have to be this body cream. Well, not this tube. I've been through about 8 of them, since Christmas. Because I lather my body, from head to toe, in this beauty!

My Goddaughter bought it for me. Because she knows I like strawberries. And well, I LOVE this scent! And the way it makes my skin feel. Oh, I LOVE it so much! I have a tube in my desk at work, in my car, and about 10 at home. Honestly, where has this been, all of my life?

 
Lastly, Essie's Minimalist. I adore this light color. I've been wearing this, for months now! I try other colors. And other brands. But there is something about this color, that keeps drawing me back in. I recently bought a new bottle. Rarely do I go through an entire bottle, of nail polish. But this beauty, is a regular for me!

There you go. What I've been reaching for lately. Maybe, as the weather warms up, I'll be reaching for more products. And trying to get some use, out of all my eyeshadows and blushes. But who knows. I'm a pretty bad creature of habit. Let me know, what you've been reaching for too. ❤
