Physician's Formula Happy Booster Set

I spotted a great deal on Physician's Formula's heart themed products at Walmart the other day while buying Lysol wipes (LOL)

I was able to pick up the Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting Bronzer and I <3 Rose lipstick for $10!

I have always been interested in these products (hearts get me every time!) but never wanted to shell out the cash to actually try them. The bronzers are usually between $11-$14 here, and I'd much rather put the money towards high end makeup than drugstore!

They had the new bronzer variations as well as a few shades of this one. Anyway, here are some closeups :)

I wasn't a fan of the enclosed brush for the bronzer... it's cute, but didn't blend well and actually made a line in the hollow of my cheek on one side- no idea how that happened! The compact is quite large, so it would be nice to make it smaller without the brush. The shade is quite nice on with a regular brush, however. I'm also happy that it's also natural on my face and no blatant shimmers which is a problem I have with many drugstore cheek options.

The lipstick had a bit of a scent, but is a cute carnation pink color. Come to think of it, the bronzer had a scent as well, but I didn't mind that. (I hated the scent of the Bamboo Wear products!) Physician's Formula describes the scent as violet, but I'm not sure if that's really what it is... I could see how the lipstick scent could bother those who are sensitive, so that's something to think about!

Here's a quick shot of me with the products on, and no other makeup. Also my cheeks are kind of pink/splotchy and my hair is kind of yucky. My camera seems to have highlighted that but it was definitely more rosy/bronzy in real life. 

In any event, I think it's a great addition to any Valentine's gift package for a sister or best friend! :)

Happy Saturday!

Just a quick recap on the week... Didn't make a dent in my weekly rotation, and will repeat it for next week! Have hopes that I'll put on makeup today though!

Did decently well on my January No Buy (check my hauls to see how I did.) I plan to continue recapping the month's buys to see how I do! (I already know February won't be as good for me!)

Thinking a lot about organization this week... Relocated and reorganized my collection into drawers. Love it, but am still thinking about what improvements I can make! (I'd love to hear your suggestions!)

Obsessing over two luxury items that I probably won't purchase because of the price ... La Mer Lip Balm $50

Bobbi Brown Deluxe Travel Kit $115

What are your thoughts on organization or no buys? How about my luxury obsessions?

January Purchases

Yes, I was on a no buy this month... I lost my resolve a few days! But if I do say so myself, it wasn't so bad!

I went to Sephora to make some returns one day and was excited to pick up the Too Faced Natural Face Radiance Palette and Stila Smudge Crayon. So far, I'm really enjoying both products. (My return would have gone back on a gift card, so I say this doesn't count against my no buy!)

I also stopped by CVS and picked up Milani Bronzer in Medium and Milani HD Concealer in Medium which were both on sale and surprised me with how well they worked on me. Revlon Lip Butters were BOGO 50% so I picked up Raspberry Pie & Berry Smoothie! I also grabbed a Wet n' Wild pencil to try on my brows on another CVS trip.

I bought the Sephora OPI To the Glitter End polish while making returns, and picked up Zoya Gem & Kelly during their promo for free polish earlier in the month.

Last week I used my Sephora gift card and picked up these two items that just arrived in the mail (sorry I haven't had a chance to photograph them yet!) Let me just say, the Nails Inc. Fashion's Night Out polish is a gorgeous navy/silver metallic shade that goes on SO well. (Nails Inc was my favorite polish of 2011 by far!) I also picked up this Edward Bess Quad Royale, in Monte Carlo, which is a nice highlighting kit that may pass for blush too - I look forward to testing it out more.

ANYWAY! Here's the summary of my purchases...

Total: Zoya Nail Polish - $6.95 for shipping (also before I started my no buy) Sephora In Store Purchases - Return credit CVS - $12 after coupons, etc Sephora Online Order - $11.61 after gift card Maybelline Color Tattoo - $6 at Walmart

GRAND TOTAL: $36.56

Overall, 3-4 days and about $36 is not a huge violation of no buy in my book! What do you guys think?

January Goal Recap

I wanted to start 2012 on a strong note so I made a number of goals for the month:

• Wear makeup as often as possible!
• No buy for the month!
• Wash my face at night!

Check out my results in my Goal Master App! 8 days out of the month where any makeup touched my face! And most were just me testing or putting on products after work for fun...

Not so good with the face washing... (YIKES)

And finally, here are the results of my January No Buy! Not perfect, but could be worse... I'll have a haul post up tomorrow... didn't spend more than $30 of my own money in total though!

Anyway, I have every intention of continuing these goals on my app for the rest of the year! I'm interested in seeing what comes out of it! What do you guys think - would something like this help keep you accountable for your goals?
