My second haul from CVS! And my gift card giveaway winner! :)

Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a good new years eve! I went clubbing with a couple of our friends, but it was kind of crappy, because we were suppose to be on guest list, but we ended up not being on guest list. Long story short, my boyfriend ended up paying $160 dollars for two of us. So that was the crappy part. But at least we got to celebrate in style!

My makeup from NYE! I did my own makeup from my tutorial, but I changed a couple things about it. If any of you girls want to see how I did it, just let me know! :) 
Anyway, so I went back to CVS yesterday! Because I didn't realize that some of the Rimmel London lipsticks were on sale. So I picked up a ton of them today! I basically went to 3 different CVS's because there are 3 located in my area, and I wanted to see what else I could pick up! 

I also picked up a couple Revlon lipsticks as well! I basically got backups of almost everything! Because they were so cheap, and I hate it when I buy something and they discontinue it! So of course, I picked up a lot of backups! (I hate buying cosmetics from ebay)

From left to right: Air Fairy, Pink blush, Pink champagne, and passion. (I'm really loving pink blush and air fairy together on my lips! It's the perfect nude pink!)
Pink champagne, and passion up close. 
 Air fairy, and pink blush up close. 
Swatched from left to right: Air Fairy, Pink blush, Pink champagne, and passion. 

I also picked up Rimmel's spotlight beige. It looks like the perfect dark nude color! 
 Up close and personal! 
 I also picked up one of Revlon's matte lipsticks in mauve it over! The packaging looks really nice! 
 Up close. 
 And then I picked up two of Revlon's Colorburst lipsticks! 
Left to right: Liliac and Mauve. 

 And since I've never tried any of Revlon's pearl lipsticks, I only picked up one of twinkled pink. It looks nice, but let's see how it does when applied to my lips. 

 And of course I had no idea that firecracker was on sale! So I had to pick up one of these babies as well! Since I almost have the entire collection, except for pink pop! That's next on my list! :) 

 When I was there, I also picked up a powder. Because as much as I love my P&J powder, it has shimmer, and sometimes, I feel like I don't want shimmer, and sparkle, so I think this powder would be great for my face. They also had one with shimmer, but since I have P&J's already, I didn't see it necessary to pick up one of those. 
 On the back. The only problem, I have with the almay powder, is the bulkiness of the packaging. I wish it were smaller. I didn't realize that I couldn't take the powder out of the box! 
 I also picked up a sally hansen cream blush, for those days, that I want to apply a darker color to my cheeks/lips! 
 Back of the packaging. 
When swatched on my arm. It's actually a lot prettier than the picture below! It's a nice dark pink. I don't know why, but my camera makes the blush look brown! :(
 
I was only able to pick up only one of Rimmel's lipsticks in Pink champagne, there were no other ones left. That makes me kind of sad. :( But it's okay, because I did pick up 5 of Pink blush! I also picked up 3 Air Fairy, and 2 extras of spotlight beige! 

From Revlon, I only picked up one backup, and that was Mauve it over, and the only reason I picked up an extra of that one, was because I hadn't realized I had already bought it from another CVS. Yes, I can get a little makeup crazy! 

Anyway, so what you girls have been waiting for, for the past 3 weeks! (Is it 3 weeks?? I can't remember!!!) My giveaway winner for a giftcard of their choice! So I basically had 158 unique entries, basically from tweeting, to blogging, to facebook! So I went to random.org, and the winner is (drum roll please!):

So yay to fruity lashes! I will be emailing you shortly! :) If you didn't win this time around, don't fret, I will be having another giveaway in the next couple of days!

  16. Congratulations Fruity Lashes!

    Awesome CVS hauls! I haven't been to our local Walgreens yet. They opened up in Hawaii a while ago but none are really located conveniently close to me. I really should go and check them out at least once though.
