New Make Up I Had to Have (Right?) (Run, Eat, Repeat)

I just bought ALL THE MAKEUP at Ulta! The last time I was in there they asked if I wanted to sign up for an Urban Decay event and I have no life so I said ‘YES!’. So check out my new Make-Up Must Haves below!

But first let’s talk Eating and Running and Blogging and all that fun stuff…

EAT

Last night I went out to dinner at a new Thai place. It was gggreat!

Why is Thai Tea so magical? (Probably because of all the sugar in it…)

These are some Taro Birds Nest things. I love Taro. It’s actually my favorite fro-yo flavor at Yogurtland!

After dinner I decided to call it an early night and go home to bake cookies for my damn self. This would be sad except it’s also delicious…

RUN

This morning I went for a little run and around three miles out I saw the woman, the legend… SkinnyRunner herself running toward me! We chatted for a few minutes and then continued on…

And a few minutes later I RAN into Emily from Daily Garnish! She’s in town for a family event and I knew she was going to be, but I didn’t think we’d just randomly run into each other like that. SO WEIRD two back to back friend spottings!

I did 12 miles and then went home to eat and shower and avoid eye contact with my foam roller. I jumped on it for a few minutes, but really need some quality time with ol’ Foamy later.

I had an appointment at Ulta!

Makeup

Last week I randomly made an appointment to get my eyebrows dyed because they are so super light blonde and wanted to give it a whirl.

When I was at Ulta they signed me up for a free make-up session with an Urban Decay make-up artist. There was some free event going on and I was all about it.

Kristen was my make-up artist and asked what I wanted. I need a day time look and I also just wanted to see what she recommended. It can be hard for me to find makeup that works for me since I have light skin and red hair but brown eyes.

She started with my eyes and used the UB Naked Palette. It comes in Urban Decay Naked 2 and Urban Decay Naked 3 too.

She did my eye shadow first using 3 of the Naked Palette colors and then used a pencil – NOT liquid – liner. It’s the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eyeliner in Bourbon.

She swears by the Lash Primer and Perversion Mascara. But I’m super picky about mascara (even though the one I buy is super cheap) so I passed on that.

And I think I’ve been doing my makeup wrong this whole time – the last step was my skin. Since I use a BB cream right now she used the Urban Decay Beauty Balm in Light. And for a little powder situation the Naked Skin Powder in Fair.

The grand finale was this NEW to me actual colored lipstick. I never wear ‘real lipstick’ and always keep it to things like glosses or balms.

But Kristen was all about giving my lips some color so I went with it. We used Revolution Lipstick in Sheer Liar. Dig it.

Make-up Before and After!

I also picked up the Good Karma Brush just because I use my fingers to put on my BB cream but liked the way it felt when she used the brush instead. I usually stick to cheap brushes but thought I’d go all out today. Boom.
