Drugstore Gems

Hello and welcome to this weeks edition of Krystin Can't Just Buy What She's Supposed to at Target.

But really; I've seen so.many.reviews. on the two products above and finally caved.
I honestly didn't have high expectations for either one. What could be THAT different about this foundation and shampoo?

I used the shampoo this morning and my hair is definitely softer. If I was a morning person and didn't hit snooze 5 times, I would've had more time to actually do my hair and I bet it would've look great. Instead, I just used a round brush and blow dried it - I'm still pretty happy with how much lighter my hair feels. I definitely have to keep this shampoo to 1x a week, since I dye my hair. I also usually don't wash my hair every single day; I keep it to every other.

The foundation might be my favorite out of all of the drugstore foundations I have. I still want to use it a little longer before I jump to that conclusion, though. It was really easy to blend, was a perfect match for my skin and feels weightless. I've heard of others blending it with a MAC foundation, or others that they have laying around so I will definitely be trying that as well!

Lip Review

L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Matte and La Laque Lip Colors have been everywhere I turn lately. I've done my research; watched Ulta haul, after drugstore haul, after monthly favorite reviews and finally came to the decision that I need this product in my life.
I have to agree with every other beauty blogger/lover - these lip colors are amazing. They are easy to apply, great consistency, go on so smooth and are great to layer. I chose two colors, 'I laque you a lot' and 'she's so matte'. What I didn't snap a picture of was what the actual product looks like - almost like a small crayon. This allows total control of application, where as sometimes lipsticks can get a little tricky if they aren't part of your beauty routine.
I was tempted to buy the others but felt that I had similar colors at home. Although now, I'm thinking I may need them ...

I laque you a lot is more of a sheen, glossy color; 

while 'she's so matte' is - you guessed it - matte.

What I Love About Sunday

after a long Saturday at Oktoberfest, it was only right to finish off the weekend with a stop at the Cider Mill and purchase unneeded (but wanted) festive snacks and cider slushies. and lay in bed all day.

A World with Octobers

 

 

aren't we all? fall has been creeping up on us; but when October hits, it's officially time to rejoice in pumpkin spice lattes, flannels, boots and cozy fires. I've had a plaid shirt on my 'to buy' list for a while now, and it was delivered just in time to ring in October.

Pair it up with ruby woo and you've got yourself a fall ensemble.
