Oh, I adore xojane! And Erno Laszlo black soap; it was one of my first products I bought because of a WHT recommendation and it’s LOVELY.
My latest impulse purchases have all been the Revlon Lip Butters! I am in love with them, and I am NOT a lipstick girl. I own 8 of them now! (It’s a problem.)
I will never be without Erno Laszlo soap if I can help it either! It lasts forever and is one of the best soap out there!
My latest purchase was (and I shouldn’t have cause it’s pricey) Dior’s Creme de Gloss – # 735 Creamy Burgundy. It’s sooo pretty on. Yup, and a dab will do you with this one.. and the color is so intense I will only use it in the evening!
My latest impulse buy was Taylor Swift new perfume at macy’s. It smells sooo good. P.s. I think you need to update your commentluv, something is not working right. :)
Thrilled to hear about xojane, after posting this comment, I am hurriedly off to go check it out. I want to say that I enjoyed Sassy as a teen, but that is such a shabby understatement for my deep & abiding love for that magazine. Lol, I guess everyone who loved sassy, LOVED sassy. It really is one of those things, isn’t it? So thanks for keeping me informed:):)
@sosoniki – you nailed it, I don’t think anyone “kinda liked” Sassy. You were either obsessed with Sassy or nothing!
I went kinda nuts with Nails Inc. at the Sephora F&F sale.
My mom loved Erno Laszlo, I have grown to love Erno Laszlo–they used to carry a makeup line that I miss desperately. Now it’s just skin care. They offered a sheer lipstick in a Berry shade that I have been unable to find in another brand. It makes my soul weep.
My latest beauty-related impulse purchase was Wen Cleansing Conditioner. QVC has a limited edition scent in Ginger Pumpkin and I love all things pumpkin scented, so I finally decided to give this brand (which I was already curious about) a whirl. I washed my hair with it yesterday and I noticed my hair was shinier and my natural wave was…wavier. The scent isn’t as heavy on the pumpkin as I’d like, but I use Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin bath stuff this time of year, which is, so it’ll balance out.
An Erno Laszlo makeup collection?! I bet it was divine. I need to do some google searching and take a look at what they offered…
Don’t feel bad about picking up lip balm. That was my latest impulse buy: I just picked up Burt’s Bees, too! The one with Acai berry is pretty good, I think.
@stef I am a huge Sassy fan!! OMG!! Have you read the book, How Sassy Changed My Life? Total awesomeness!!
My last impulse beauty purchase was MAC Blot Powder. Love that stuff!!
My most recent beauty impulse buy was the Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette. So pretty! I haven’t even used it yet though. :( Maybe tomorrow.
