Today I turn 49 for the first time (next birthday will be the second time I'll be 49, lol) I have thus celebrated it with a trip to buy some new makeup of course! I love makeup and it's really a challenge to stand in those isle in the store and not get one of everything! But since I dont' have booKoos of money to spend on my passion I try to pick and choose wisely. For instance, today (I celebrated a day early on the 27 instead of 28-my birthday) I bought a couple of my favorite eyepencils (Covergirl Perfect Plus -expresso), 2 Revlon Matte eyeshadows (Vintage Lace), 2 Studio M nailpolishes (Get the Blues & Plum Perfection), 1 Rimmell lip pencil (natural) and 1 EOS lip balm (Summer fruit). I also bought a few blouses for good measure.

I've heard really good things about the EOS lip balms but I've applied this twice since I bought it today and so far I'm not impressed with anything about it. Compared to my Burt's Bees it pales badly!
