Cravings

I am not a makeup girl by any means.

That was always my sister's role. She's younger, sure. But that never made a difference. She was always the fashionista. My mom even used to have a 10-year-old Liza do her makeup when she went to weddings, Bar/Bar Mitzvahs, yadda yadda. As for me? Well, I was busy convincing myself that I was the next Lisa Leslie when in reality, I couldn't play basketball to save my life.

Bring this up to my sister and she'll go on forever. Thanks to her, I'll never live down my wannabe athletic days of yore.

Where were we? Oh, yes. Makeup.

Things haven't changed much since back then. Liza's got a box bursting to the brim with cosmetics. As for me? My 5 staples are happily at home in my adorably cute case that I won from the lovely Lacey in her giveaway.

But that whole "I don't really give a crap about makeup" attitude goes right out the window the second I step foot into Sephora.

The moment my foot crosses that threshold, I become a girly girl.

The colors, the scents, the makeup on the employees. Sensory overload in the best way possible.

Okay, enough talkin'. Here's what I'm currently craving (and what my wallet's hiding from).

Urban Decay Disney Alice In Wonderland PaletteBenefit Lust Dusters Trio - Moon Doggie, Big Daddy, GoGo Girl
(Moon Doggie. As in the gorgeous guy from Gidget. Which reminds me of my blush. Which I just love.)

Cargo Wet/Dry Eyelining Palette
(I've already swooned over the powder, sort of obsessed and sad since it's being discontinued along with the entire line)

What are you craving right now?

I love everything you posted. that you could be a good and a bad thing.

I love that you were a tomboy though & not so girly. I never became a girly girl until I got married and now I'm a lost cause haha

Oh, man, what am I not craving? Actually I'm off to Target to buy a couple of .97 CENT lipsticks (I HOPE they're still there!). I found them here:

i'm not a makeup person either but those look so fun and i would totally get them if i knew what to do with them and not look like a crazy person, haha.

How do they do that? Sephora, I mean. They have carefully crafted that environment to make you go completely crazy in that store. I experience it every time.

I love everything you posted, especially the Alice in Wonderland makeup...too much fun! :P I agree, that place is high temptation, if I ever get a raise or a bonus you and me are heading over there for a Sephora date! Love you!

P.S. I don't think I have mentioned this to you but your complexion is just beautiful, I can see why you don't even have to wear makeup that often!!

GIRL! Sephora is discontinuing the Cargo line BUT it will be sold at CVS stores! At least that's what the nice Sephora lady told me last time I visited. I hope she's right.
