Mostly Drugstore Beauty Haul!

Hi guys! 

I don't know if it is the summer weather that is putting me in a great mood or not, but because of it, I have been doing a lot of shopping. Probably more shopping than I should... 

Anyways, as you will see I have been super into pink and coral lips for summer!

If you would like a separate review on any of the products pictured, let me know. :)

Drug Store Makeup Haulin'

Lately, I have been doing a lot of local drug store makeup shopping. 

There have been so many sales and new products to try that it is hard to pass up! 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation in 320 Honey

Wet N Wild Mega Last Lip Color

These lip products were 75% off at my local Rite Aid!

Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume in brown/black

This has been the third time that I have meant to buy black mascara and I somehow manage to grab brown and not look at it til after I get it home! Does anyone else do this?

Some more Maybelling Color Tattoo eye shadows in "Bad to the Bronze" and "Audacious Asphalt". 

Milani Compact Powder and Mineral Blushes

I was able to get my hands on some Milani products that were 75% off at CVS. I picked up a compact powder and the last 3 blushes that they had! 

When I got the blushes home I noticed that two of them had the same color name (Mai-Tai) but they are obviously different colors. I have been trying to find the name of the coral blush but I cannot! I'm pretty sure it is not "Sunset Beach" as it does not have any brown in it. I could be wrong though. 

If anyone knows the name of this blush let me know! 

What have you purchased at the drug store lately?

Beauty Products from Santa :)

Okay, so not really from Santa but my friends and family must know how much I love beauty products. 

Too Faced Naked Eye Palette 

Katy Perry "Purr" Perfume 

Brittany Spears "Fantasy" Perfume

Pink Sugar Spray (my fav.)

Seche Vite Top Coat

And A Sephora gift card :)

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas!

Black Friday Haul

This year's Black Friday was def. a success! My friend and I went shopping from 9 p.m Thanksgiving until 7 a.m on Friday. We went to 2 different malls as well as Target. There were just soooo many good deals going on that it was hard to choose what to get! Most of the items that I purchased are Christmas presents for friends and I got a few items for myself. :)

Victoria's Secret was one of the main places that we wanted to go. They had all of their perfumes on sale for $25. They also had yoga pants for $25. If you spent $65 they gave you a free tote with beauty items included in it. We actually waited in line for three hours in order to get their yoga pants and free tote. Once they opened the door it was so crazy. Everyone was pushing and I had to fight my way to get some yoga pants! 

I succeeded. 

I got the perfume "Incredible". This is one of my favorite scents from Victoria's Secret. Most of their perfumes are pretty strong and overpowering. This is soft, subtle, and smells amazing. I purchased a couple of more perfumes but did not include them because they are presents. 

The free tote.

It included 

a sample of their Angel perfume, 

Sheer Love body lotion, 

Bombshell Body Mist, 

and a sample of their face primer.

A pair of yoga pants.

Aerie and American Eagle both were 40% off the entire store. 

From Aerie I bought a pair of gray leggings and a gray scarf. 

This scarf is so warm and big. I love it! 

From American Eagle I purchased a feather necklace for one of my friends for Christmas.

Sephora really did not have any sales going besides select items being $10. I purchased this 3 pack of The Body Shop products from Sephora as another Christmas present. 

JC Penny had Macadamia products at 20% off. I picked up a packet of their deep repair mask. I have never tried this product but I have heard really good things about it. I really hope that it does good for my dried out and damaged hair. 

And of course I had to get some hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works. I like to give these out along with people's presents.

 Who doesn't need hand sanitizer? haha

I am so happy with all of my purchases and happy to have gotten most of my Christmas shopping done already.

I cannot wait to see what everyone else purchased on Black Friday! 

Clothing Haul!

So apparently I have been doing a lot of shopping lately haha! Here are some things that I picked up for the fall!

Feather Earrings $8.00 at Claire's 

Small Sephora and Ulta Haul Success!

 Hey everyone! I went on a quick trip to Ulta and Sephora and here is what I purchased!

Make up Forever Mist and Fix Spray
Bare Minerals Oil Control Prime Time Foundation Primer
Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion

I picked up this mini Make Up Forever Mist and Fix Spray from Sephora for $8 for 0.84 fl. oz. I was just browsing through Sephora and wasn't going to purchase anything until I spotted this mini spray. So I decided to try it out. I have used this twice since purchasing it and I would say it makes my makeup last for a good 8 hours at work in the 80 degree humid weather! So far I am lovin' it! This also can be compared to Urban Decay's  All Nighter Spray which I have not tried yet but plan on purchasing and comparing the two!

I picked up the Bare Minerals Prime Time foundation primer in Oil Control from Ulta for $21 for 1 fl. oz. It does not contain silicone or oil. So in the summer time my skin gets VERY oily to the point where no amount of powder helps. I was looking online for different primers that would help with this problem. This primer did not get very good reviews at all but I decided I would try it anyways and take it back if it didn't work for me. The first time I used it, I used about 2 pumps and spread it on my face concentrating on my T-zone. I then let it dry for 10 to 15 minutes and continued on with my normal foundation routine. This product does make the foundation a little harder to spread but not so much that it is a problem. I wore this for about 7 hours and it kept the oil and shine away the whole time! I could not believe it! After the 7 hours there was a minimal amount of oil on my face but not nearly as much as without using this primer. I have only used it a few times but I definitely do not think I will be returning it.

I purchased this Alpha Hydrox 10% Glycolic AHA lotion from Ulta for about $11 for 6 fl. oz. I was talking to a couple of the ladies that work at Ulta and they both recommended this to me for acne ( I have a slight breakout on my face due to the intense heat!). I thought for 11 dollars I might as well try it. This moisturizer contains Glycolic Acid which is commonly used in chemical peels. To read more about Glycolic acid click here. This product claims that it "renews moisture, refines texture, and improves elasticity and skin tone". I have only used this for two days so I haven't seen much of a difference in my acne, but I have noticed that my skin is a lot smoother and brighter after using it!
