beauty ruts are no fun

So I find myself once again in a beauty rut. It's not that I'm unhappy with my make up at the moment, it's just that I feel like I should be happier. My Benefit Playsticks foundation is all of a sudden looking orange, clearly my tan from last summer is all but gone. My Bare Minerals makes my skin itch a bit when it gets warmer, although it makes my skin look great. The Clinique High Impact mascara is looking clumpy on my lashes. I'm not inspired by any of my eyeshadows. My blush is looking...weird. I think I'm just frustrated. I'm not really feeling like I enjoy my make up right now. It's making me feel strange. I don't know if I'm just not feeling inspired or if I'm just bored with what I have, or if I'm just sick of doing my make up every day...the only thing I still absolutely love is my Benefit Porefessional. That is some great stuff. Serious.

I am, however, happy with my hair lately. I'm using the Pantene Pro V Beautiful Lengths Anti Frizz shampoo and conditioner. But I think what's really making the difference is the It's a 10 Leave In treatment and, the newest addition to my hair arsenal, Argan Oil. I'm not sure of the brand, but it smells absolutely amazing, like something I used to have... a lotion or a perfume or a body wash. I can't put my finger on what it smells like, or where I know it from. It's great. My hair is soft, manageable and shiny. I can use it when my hair is wet or dry and it doesn't make my hair feel icky or look oily. I use it right after I put the It's a 10 in my hair and then again after I've blow dried and/or straightened my hair, when it's dry. It also, amazingly, seems to make my hair less oily, I'm able to wash my hair every other day. (That has never been a reality for me.)

I got the Argan Oil from CVS, so it's not hard to find. I need to find some way to get excited about make up again. Maybe it's time to go through all my make up again and trade out some products. I'm so frustrated. Bleugh. I'm open to any recommendations.
