January Buys

I've been trying to be good about buying makeup but it's really hard to walk by the ELF section in Target and not touch everything so of course, I end up buying stuff.

This January I did pretty well and spent less than $10 (if you don't count my Ipsy bag, of course.)

Here's what I got:

I bought one of my January Wants: a matte topcoat! I picked up this NYC Matte topcoat at Target for about $2. Totally a steal and it does a pretty good job.

I also scored big at the Dollar Tree this month and ended up with 2 lip sticks (that I really like!) and 2 bottles of Sally Hanson Magnetic Nail Polish. The ELF lipstick definitely has a lipstick smell that can be off putting but it's not a terrible lipstick for the price (even though I found out it has little GLITTER specks in it... not sure about that...) I'm still on my quest to find a cheap alternative to the Urban Decay Revolution lipstick sample of Anarchy I got in one of my Ipsy bags that I am IN LOVE with. I just cannot bring myself to spend $19 on a tube of lipstick. I just can't do it, guys.

I've only used one of the polishes but I thought the effects were really fun and I'm definitely happy with my purchases.
