This post is part of the HEALTHY ESSENTIALS® 2014 program by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. and The Motherhood, who sent me a box of products and compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are all my own, and I hope you enjoy them.
It’s no secret that I love drugstore beauty products. I can spend hours in the makeup aisle. Mostly I like to marvel over the names of lipsticks and nail polish colors. It’s really all a paradox; I love make up yet have no idea how to apply it. I stick with the basics like mascara and lip gloss. For those who know me, they know that I rarely leave the house without a swipe of mascara. A little swipe goes a long way. Trust me on this one. I’ve tried every expensive brand out there and stand by my drugstore favorites. I’ve been loyal to one brand for many years but recently discovered a new product, thanks to the people at The Motherhood.
NEUTROGENA®.
Ive used the face and eye creams but had never tried the make up. I’m a makeup minimalist so I don’t branch out that much.
I like a mascara that adds volume and length without clumps. I stay away from the volume stuff because it tends to be too Tammy Fayeish. Not so with NEUTROGENA® mascara — no clumps, smudging or flaking! This is a win for lashes, ladies.
If you look under my side of the sink or in the pockets of my purses you’ll see copious tubes of lip gloss, lipstick, and lip balm. I’m an addict. Truth be told, I keep buying lipstick but never use it. I’m not high maintenance enough for lipstick. I prefer something that gives me some color and moisturizes at the same time. I also like somthing I can swoosh on without a mirror. And no blotting. I hate blotting. NEUTROGENA® MoistureSmooth Color Sticks moisturizes lips while continuously conditioning them, so they are softer and smoother. This stuff is right up my alley.
I’m not one to get all gussied up just for Valentine’s Day, but it sure is a good excuse to buy some new makeup.
