As a doc student on a budget, I no longer can invest on high-end cosmetics such as my beloved
- M•A•C (Makeup Art Cosmetics) or
- O•P•I nail lacquers
Yet I don’t mind the beauty products that I find for less at CVS!
Latest Face Craze

I was in search of an eye makeup primer, and Neutrogena has these liquid shadows that already have it built-in with these neutral shades that make for a great *smoky eye* {Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow in Stay Golden 10 & Lasting Toupe 50} I already dig on Neutrogena products for their skin-protecting features, including their hypoallergenic eye products & SPFs!
Nail $ale

Of course, I can’t resist markdowns, especially on something I’m seeking anyway! {Milani Color Statement in Mint Crush} Close to Tiffany Blue

I’m all about the gold … These’ll top nails off! {Sally Hansen 8K Gold Hardener}
Good vibes to yours truly as I meet with my dissertation chair (head honcho professor of my committee) today!

My good friend, María, never ceases to amaze me.

Latest Mary Kay from María: Travel Case with Brushes for * Powder * Cheek * Eyeliner/Eyebrow * Eye Color * Eye Crease + Lash ♥Love♥ Mascara & Lash-Lengthening Mascara both in I ♥ Black * SatinLips Lip Mask & Lip Balm * Lip Gloss in Pink Luster (lighter) & Berry Tart (darker) | Nourishine Plus | SatinHands Tote with Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub * Hand Softener * Hand Cream * Trial-Sized Fragrance-Free Hand Cream & Peach Hand Cream + Mint Bliss Energizing Lotion for Feet & Legs * 2-in-1 Body Wash & Shave * Hydrating Lotion
She was generous enough to give me more Mary Kay!

Brush Rush: Ready-to-Go!
The reason why she rewarded me with all of these products was because I tutor her grandson, who we rooted on in his basketball playoffs ~ yet I’m the one who’s reaping the rewards.

The compartments keep my cosmetics organized!
All of these will come in handy when I take off for my professional and †spiritual† trip tomorrow!

My fave must-try is the Mint Bliss Energizing Lotion for my lower bod ~ I may lather on before I run on the beach!
I’m extremely grateful for these gifts ~ especially because I’ve been so busy with attending to my students and my own studies to bother with enhancing my beauty lately!

Of course, I need cotton balls and swabs for makeup and skin care application and removal.

Therefore, my CVS ExtraCare card came in handy!

Due to the BOGO FREE promo, I bought two of each and spent less than 2 dimes!
Plus, I have another amazing massage lined up today before I leave town!

As if?
Remember the almost two decade-old flick, Clueless, where the main characters makeover their teacher?
Well, two of my superstar students revamped my look in class today! They schooled us on braiding and eye makeup for their demonstration speeches.

Starting off with a French Braid at the crown …
First, I got my hair did.

Wrapping it up with a Waterfall Braid on the side!
Then, my face!

My students’ makeup by Sephora + my mascara & lipstick by M•A•C
As Van Halen sings …

Glam & Glitz ~ ♪ready for a Ballroom Blitz♫!

& I look forward to my senior drum major student doing my nails in ombré style with school colors mañana!
