CVS







Hey everyone,
Today I went to CVS to get one thing and I come out with a couple. On a personal note the thing I needed was some midol. LOL . So walking into CVS I go straight to the makeup but didn't see anything new that I needed. I was looking for the black matte Orly nail-polish that Dulce Candy 87 was talking about. But disappointingly they didn't have it. Moving on to the isle that has make-up brushes in ,I see the essence of beauty deluxe duo set. After hearing alot about the dual sided brushes I was eager to try them out. They were 14.99 , keep in mind that there were a total of 3 dual sided brushes.
After trying them out I noticed that they shed A
LOT! Other than that they worked pretty well. My favorite brush was the blush and powder. Looking at the powder side I noticed it was too small for powder but just right for a highlight.
On the blush side of it i noticed it looked similar to the MAC 168. Not as good as the 168 but it did its job.
Moving on to the blending and eyeshadow duo I thought the eyeshadow side was good for a all over lid type. The blending was really dense and didn't think it could actually blend well but it did. The foundation and concealer duo work really well! I was most surprised by these. I love the concealer. It smoothed out the concealer well on my face.
Over all these brushes work well for 14.99. I wouldn't say they were 5/5 stars but they held up
I picked up a aloe-vera lip balm that I loved. It didn't smell great but it made my lips feel super soft.
Last but not least I got the midol and some canada wintergreen mints that were pink and caught my attention.
That was pretty much all i got.
I hope you guys had a great day today.
Anything you guys think I should pick up from CVS?

Nicole Richie is one of the celebrities that i look at for fashion inspiration because she wears her clothes with confidence. I think she is super beautiful. I got these pics from her blog by the way. Just thought i would share one of my fashion inspirations with all of you. Her sense of style is really catchy and bohemian.
