Make Up Basics

I feel like I run out of all of my make up at the same time constantly. My foundation, which typically lasts me six months, was running low and my bronzer broke into pieces on my bathroom floor. Not to mention I had basically been out of primer for a solid month and I resorted to putting eye solution into my mascara so that it would hold me over for a week or two...or three.

I finally got the chance to go to Ulta, this week to pick up some items I needed. I have been using the same foundation for the past two years--it's Tarte's 12hr amazon clay foundation and I love it. This foundation goes for $38 and lasts six months. SIX MONTHS. All you need is a small amount for each use. I also wanted a new primer, so I'm trying out the Ulta Hydro Prime for the first time. So far it has been making my usually dry skin feel pretty soft.

I also picked up a repair balm because I've noticed that my hair has been very dry and kind of frizzy. I asked one of the workers at Ulta for an inexpensive mask and she suggested L'Oreal's Total Repaid Balm. I've only used it once so far, but the smell is amazing and it does leave your hair incredibly smooth and soft.

The rest of the items I picked up are all pretty cheap and just the usual brand I use--all prices are listed.
