By Carrie Berschman @CarrieBerschman
Hello friends! I hope you are all enjoying the bright and sunny weather! Today, after moving a few more items in to my new apartment, I decided to stop at a few places and pick up a few things. Mainly, I was on the hunt for some new makeup brushes to get me by until I order some new Sigma brushes. Why do I need need ones you ask? Well, long story short, my boyfriend's roommates dog decided my makeup bag was a bag of treats. Let just say I WAS NOT happy. Still am maddened thinking about it...........!!!!!! But before I get angry, I will go ahead and show you the goodies I picked up!

I purchased this Urban Decay Beauty Balm with SPF 20. I tried a small bit on my hand and LOVED the way it smoothed out the fine lines!Top: NYX Blush in Rose GardenBottom: NYX Blush in PinchedI've been wanted to try these blushes for quite some time.They are very pigmented and got them BOGO 1/2 off at Ulta!Left: NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel Right: NYX Butter Gloss in MerenguePicked up a few more colors because I am LOVING the Creme Brûlée shade!Left: OPI You're Such a BudapestRight: China Glaze Flip Flop FantasyI've been lusting after both these hot shades for summer so I decided to finally purchase them!I got this Laura Mercier Foundation Primer inRadiance as a 100 point perk from Sephora. I usually just save my pointsuntil I see a product I really would like to try and would consider buying the full size. Picked up this adorable little keychain from J. Crew.Got this sample of the MUFE HD Invisible Cover foundation.I was color matched and got shade #45. I know TiffanyD has been loving this! I thinkits a great switch up for summer since it is a medium coverage foundation, but leaves you with a great natural finish.And of course, I picked up a pair of the J. Crew chino shorts. They are my go-to shorts,and have been for a while now. This picture makes it hard to tell, but these are navy with a 3" inseam. Thanks for reading! I hope everyone is having a great week so far!XO, Carrie
