Knit Makeup!

I am a little brat.  This week with all the rain and the impending visit from the boyfriend's parents means I'm temporarily scaling back on the knitting in favor for some heavy duty late spring cleaning around his house  So off and about I've been picking up cleaning supplies and just plowing through room for room with the boyfriend with moderate success.  We have the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen clean so those are just a matter of maintaining for the next few days but the next challenge is the living and dining room area. 

This doesn't necessarily mean though I haven't kept knitting SOMEWHERE in my mind though.  During my stop at the Super Target I was completely charmed by the makeup aisle for a buy 1, get 1 free coupon on certain Physicians Formula powders and fell in LOVE at first sight with the Cashmere collection.  Adorable!  The girl-girl in me nabbed up the blush in Natural since its easier for me from experience to just build up with a lighter shade than try to tone down when I accidentally add too much with a darker.  The Bronzer I got in regular Bronze by accident because I wanted the Light Bronze for a more honey golden look.  This mistake was not realized until AFTER I got home.  :(

Still, I figured since I opened the packages, I'd give both colors some love and it turns out I love these little guys.  They came in little velvety brown boxes with an adorable tassel and even better...purl, knit, and cabled imprints!  I didn't take a picture of them in their original sales package but you'll recognize them in most general makeup aisles otherwise just google and I'm sure someone has a picture of them in the original packaging.  I just tore into them when I got home. 

The blush was JUST the right shade for me without being too crazy dark or Mimi-reddish.  Just a nice, soft, warm pink that I can build up and play with.  The bronzer meanwhile ended up THANKFULLY looking good.  The Light Bronze may have ended up being almost too light because I have a weird skin tone that looks like a medium but some colors end up overreacting and looking too dark or uber-too light very easily because of my undertones so that's why I was a bit reluctant to have the regular Bronze at first.  Was it too dark?  Nope!  It went on perfectly and was blendable and felt smooth.

So that was my knitting makeup diversion!  I love these little guys so much that I may have to try and play with them in the morning and get a little dolled up for work.  <3
