Beauty find: colored mascara & dry shampoo



So, I was grocery shopping the other day (and what's grocery shopping, w/o perusing through the cosmetics?) Well the Kroger I went to, has sort of like a "what's new" section. So I was looking and low & behold, I found colored mascara!!! It's by Maybelline New York great lash limited addition. (I secretly want them to stay forever!) They have: teal, emerald, hot pink, purple, berry & royal blue! I didn't buy any that day, buuut then I bought two tubes a few days later. : ) Colors I bought were: I See blue (royal blue) & So Very Berry (berry). I may get more too! ; )

(Blue)
(Berry)
I've literally been wanting a periwinkle mascara for about 10 months, I bought one tube of CK mascara and it totally wasn't worth the $16.00 I paid for it! So I was super excited when I found this mascara! It's such an unexpected detail to put on your face. I'm going to have fun with these! P.S. these tubes are under $5.00!!! 


And the next product that I really like, is: Batiste dry shampoo in medium & brunette, which blends with tour hair! This is a fabulous product! If your tired of using dry shampoo that makes you look like you're prematurely graying & won't brush out of your hair, then this product is for you! And the scent is sooo lovely! It's very perfume-y! 
This product is a product of the UK. It's slightly expensive for just a can of dry shampoo, totaling at $8.99. (The Lord totally rocked my world, when I was in Marshall's and I found multiple cans for $5.99!!! He totally gives you the desires of your heart! Even if its a tiny thing like dry shampoo!)
Such a great product! I will be sure to buy more.  When I'll be in England I should stock up! ; )


(On a side note, did you know that the US dollar is stronger than pounds? Kind of strange, but awesome just the same! I'm a sponge right now, I'm soaking up all information about London! I want to visit so badly! I also want to meet ALL of the YouTubers I've grown to love & watch, I'll  post a blog about that shortly!) 

Hope you enjoy! And you should try these products out and then comment below to tell me if you like them! 👇👇👇 

Love y'all! -Ryn

Beauty Find: You can't go wrong with lipstick & mascara...

(Girl about town) 

Nothing is as fabulous than a woman wearing no more than lipstick, mascara & a lil powder on her face. It's a confident act to do that, and such a pretty one as well! Going au natural is a luxury in and of itself! One should do it regularly...

I'm a big fan of bright lipstick & mascara. It's so simplistic/elegant to me. Just the other day, I just wanted to wear red lipstick. I haven't worn red lipstick since Christmas time... But I REALLY wanted to! And for those of you who don't know me, I carry about 11 MAC lipsticks + others in my purse... (I've got a hook up of Mac supplies) and I carry them around with me, pretty much everywhere I go! It's been like this since high school... Crazy! And i get a little sad when i change out my purse to a smaller bag or im travling, i then only bring 4-5... Anywho, I think what spurred on the red lips, was that I had on a white V-neck (which I made & I absolutely love!) and something about a white v-neck and red lips, it's just well um, sexy.... And very chic! 

Now to the other part of this blog, I'm a HUGE fan of mascara! I will layer and layer and layer mascara on top of over each other to make them stand out. I'm a fan of my length of lashes, but my sister has such luscious lashes! They are incredibly long. I almost think she took all of the length and thickness from both my other sister and myself.

A few weeks ago, my favorite beauty store: Beauty Brands was having a fabulous event, which they always do! And they are ALWAYS so nice. And they take competitors coupons! Big plus right there, since there are days when I think Ulta doesn't even take their own coupons...

Anyway, the beauty event was about 15 or so different kinds of prestige(high end) mascaras for $10.98 ea!!!! A total steal! So I bought 2 different tubes of mascara, which were: hyperlash by smashbox & glominerals. I really like hyperlash, the glominerals one, ehhh it's ok, not my fave. But I'll still use it.
One thing to add, go to an event early, because if you waited like I did, well, lets just say, the selection is few... Which I would have liked to try some of the others... Next time! 

And then a few nights ago, I was at Kroger's grocery store, and I had just pinned this mascara, like two days before. And so I bought the maybelline cat eyes mascare, which I layer with Hyperlash... And it works great! And I think I paid only $5.89 for, and I think that was a good price for it. 

Side note: 
Funny story, years ago, I hated loose eyelashes! Grossed me out entirely! Where I made my family get the loose eyelashes off my face and made them get them off their own faces too. And the whole blowing it off your finger and making a wish thing, um no! Eww! That's just disturbing. Like I said, funny story! Hah!



My favorites right now:

Lips:
Impassioned by MAC
Russian red by MAC
Girl about town by MAC


Lashes:
Benefit They're real?
Smashbox Hyperlash 
Maybelline the colossal volume express in regard feline 


On my wish list to get:
Rebel lipstick by MAC ( I saw on a customer, with fair skin like me, last Fall at an event and I have wanted it ever since!)
Ruby woo by MAC (I've heard this is the best red lipstick ever! It works for any skin tone.)
