Sorry for the lack of Free-For-All Friday. With all the chaos of Aurora, CO and being swamped at work, I didn't really get a chance to write something.
On to make-up! So after my disappointment in E.L.F's tinted moisturizer, I've decided that I want to move to a BB Cream. I've been doing a lot of reading and I've decided I may want to try a higher end BB cream AND a drugstore BB cream. I'm going to purchase Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm for sure. I'm on the fence about Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB cream and L'Oreal Skin Beautifier BB cream. The reason I'm on the fence about these two is because Maybelline's has an SPF 30. Now I'm not sure if that's entirely accurate since the only SPF ingredient in it is only 1.15% of titanium oxide. It's also not broad spectrum. L'Oreal's doesn't have ANY SPF in it. BUT from what I've read, it has better coverage than Maybelline's. Which is what I'm looking for. I'm not too concerned about SPF since I use Mary Kay's Day Solution which has a broad spectrum SPF 35. So I still have SPF on my face no matter what type of foundation I use.
I liked tinted moisturizer, but I still want something with more coverage, but not as much a full fledged foundation--therefore a BB cream. So I have a 20% off my entire purchase coupon from Ulta, and they're also having their buy 2 get 1 free for L'Oreal as well. I will be making a trip to Ulta tomorrow!

Say Yes! To Cucumber facial wipes.... I. Love. Them. They are GREAT for a middle of the day perk up. I have combination skin (although someone tried to tell me once that I have DRY skin--- yeah no. That's why I look like a grease ball if I use ANY "dry skin" product) and sometimes in the middle of the day I just feel like I need a good face wash. So now I just bust out my Say Yes! To Cucumber facial wipes and give myself a nice refreshing mini cleanse. I'll reapply some moisturizer just to balance things out and I feel good as new. This is definitely something I will get again.
As far as the rest of my GlamBag products... meh. I didn't get to use the NuMe conditioner since I don't usually like to use a conditioner without the shampoo that is supposed to go with it. The Juice Beauty moisturizer I didn't really like. I think it should be for a dry skinned person because it turned me into a grease ball and felt almost sticky. The Buxom lip polish was ok. I don't really like the color too much since warmer tones make my teeth look yellow and this is a warmer pink rather than a cooler pink. I do like how it makes my lips feel cool--not like the plumping tingly feeling--just cool.
And here's the UD Lounge Dupe comparison!!!:
They look IDENTICAL!! The only difference is, I think the UD is packed more tightly therefore it may seem like you have to put more ok. The W&W almost feels... wet. And it crumbles REAL easily. I wouldn't recommend putting this in your purse. You see that chunk missing out of mine? Yeah, that just from being in my purse. I don't have any issues like that with any of my other eyeshadows. But the W&W SEEMS more pigmented. But I think they're the same.
Next Make-Up Monday is the last Monday for the month. I'll be thoroughly reviewing all of my favorite beauty products from the month of July. I may even do a video for it. I don't know yet. We'll see how things go this weekend. I'll also go over my Ulta haul on Free-For-All Friday as well as discuss my review of The Dark Knight Rises.
Tomorrow is Terrible 2 Tuesday. I'll be talking about certain TV shows and movies and if they're appropriate for children.
Ta-Ta!
Digg it!
