Online SHOPPING!

I made a list of items that I wanted to purchase yesterday:

frownies--I've purchased frownies before, but I didn't use them. Since I'm starting to get a wrinkle on my forehead, I think I will start using these every night.

eye cream--I ran out of eye cream about a month ago, and I haven't replaced it.

sunscreen--I used all of my sunscreen on my hiking trips. I needed at least SPF30. I wanted to buy a lotion because the spray sunscreen that I purchased before ran out.

toner--I wanted something gentle to remove the remnants of my make-up.

night cream--I'm almost out of my Boots night cream. I'm going to look for something new because I didn't really like the cream.

foundation--I have been using a sample of bare minerals that I received during my last trip to Sephora. I think I'm going to stick to my Prescriptives foundation.

SPF powder--I LOVE this product! My current brush/powder is almost gone. I usually burn my forehead in the summer. Since I've been using this product, I haven't burned my forehead! It's an easy way to reapply sunscreen without messing up my make-up.

mascara--I'm currently using Benefit's BadGal, which I love. However, I don't want to spend $20 on mascara every three months, so I'm going to try a drugstore brand.

I decided to purchase a few items on drugstore.com because I could get $10 off a $50 order. I ordered

CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara ($5.88)

Peter Thomas Roth SPF 30 powder ($30)

Phytomer Rosee Visage ($27.50) This is the best product ever! It's a make-up remover and toner. It's the perfect lazy girl product! Plus, it's really gentle. I used to purchase it when I would visit the spa (during my less frugal days).

SPF 30 sunblock ($8.99) I chose a sport sunscreen to stay on during my bike rides and hikes.

Frownies Facial Pads (for use on forehead)($14.99) I'm going to use them this time!

I spent $77.36 and ordered 3 free samples! I didn't need all of these products, but I think I'm going to do a facial at home instead of going to a spa.

re: the drugstore mascara ... I LOVE CoverGirl Lash Exact. I noticed you mentioned the Lash Blast, so you probably like a little more of a volumizing look than I do. But you might try the Lash Exact for times you want a very subtle loo.
