maybe it’s the wedding coming up and the thought of ALL THAT PRIMPING, but recently i’ve gotten into makeup. i was never a huge makeup person (the thought of heavy foundation makes my skin crawl) but always wore at least some. now, it almost seems fun, to watch your face transform through color, shadow, matte and shine.

but, if you know me, you know i’m not the type to spend $20 on one tube of lipstick or pot of eyeshadow. there are some really fun and affordable options out there, like the mammoth eyeshadow palette i brought on the trip to vegas. then, i saw this baby today. i’m having to tell myself, “keep that wallet in the purse! no extra purchases until after the i-do’s!” if i am going to make an online purchase, the i always check out retailmenot for coupon codes. even if it’s just free shipping… it’s still free shipping.

call me cheap. i don’t care. at least i’m lookin’ good. ;-)
