Hey hey hey! Last week it was my birthday! So I made the trek to my nearest Sephora to claim my Beauty Insider gift--this year, it was a two-pack sample size of Benefit's "They're Real!" mascara and a "Watt's Up?" highlighter! I do realize that I could have gotten both of these in an online order instead of traveling an hour to get to Sephora, but I hate not being able to swatch things in case I don't end up liking them in real life. While I was there, I decided to get a little somethin' somethin' for myself, to celebrate!
The first thing I decided on was the Korres Lip Balm in Quince. I have seen it so many times in different Youtube videos and when I tried it on in the store, I loved it. It gives you a natural tinted look and it's soooo smooth on your lips. I normally don't go crazy with lip balms, but I decided it was nice enough and felt like treating myself. :)
So in addition to the Sephora gift and the lip balm, I picked up a Creaseless Cream Shadow by Benefit. The color is Bikini-tini, which the Benefit website describes as an oyster pink, but I think is a shimmery nude/champagne color. I had originally seen these in the "World's ____ Nudes" palettes, and had really liked the R.S.V.P. and My Two Cents. When I swatched them, though, I thought I could do better getting a more neutral/lighter color so that I could use it in more ways! So I got Bikini-tini, and it's really pretty! The consistency is almost gel-like. It's a cream, but it's not thick. It feels almost slippery when you touch it, but it goes on the eye well and stays creamy, which is good for layering shadows on top!

Bikinis and Martinis! I'm outskies.
