Another Haul!!!

Hi everyone! So today, I have another haul! I know, again??!! Well I love buying products! What can I say? I'm a crazy shopper! 

The first thing I picked up Saturday was Maybelline Fit me! foundations! These are amazing, and I'm going to be doing a review on these very soon! Not sure if you can tell if 230 is a little more yellow toned, and 235 is a little bit more brown toned. These are only available at Walmart, as far as I know. I went to CVS, and they don't have them right now. I'm assuming that's why they are having the whole 50-75% off sale, to make room for more new items. 
Totally loving this foundation! Please, go check out walmart if you want to purchase these foundations! Picture taken without flash. 
Another item, I picked up while at walmart, was the equate eye makeup remover. They only had this one, not the one I've been using. This one is comparable to the Loreal eye makeup remover.

I don't know if you can tell, but the newer version is smaller than the old one! I don't know, if it's because I bought the one on the right at a different walmart, or whatever, but it's a completely different formula! The one on the right, you have to shake it up, to get the formula to clean your eye area, while the one on the left, is just regular. 
Another item I picked up from Walmart, are these St. Ives skincare items! I picked up the apricot scrub, and  the makeup remover and facial cleanser. I debated if I wanted to pick up the green tea cleanser and scrub, but then I saw that it has salicylic acid in it, and I decided against it. I am allergic to salicylic acid. The apricot scrub has 2% in it, but I only use it every other day, so it doesn't cause my face to get super red.

I picked up 3 candles from walmart too! :) I recently just started burning candles, at the end of last year, and I love the smell they give off. I bought lavender, sweet pea, and fresh cotton! I started burning lavender on sunday, and it's still burning! 
 I also picked up a lavender room spray! It smells so amazing! 

I went to the MAC store today, but they were so busy, that I couldn't ask the sales people any questions! So then afterwards, I went to nordstrom, and I asked them if they still had the Fix+, and they did! YAY! By the way, the MAC store at my mall didn't have any more of this fix+. 

 Are you seeing a pattern? I've loving anything lavender! Haha! 

And I went to the body shop, and I picked up the tea tree travel set! I wanted to try out some of their products, before purchasing the full sized items! I really loved a couple of the products I picked up at the end of 2009, that I had to pick up more of their products! 
 Damn plastic inside of the makeup bag was so hard to take out, I basically put a dent in it! 
And this is what the mini sized items look like! So far, I've tried all the tea tree items, and I really do love it! I will be doing a review on these as well! :) 
Anyway, so that's my haul! I did pick up a MAC foundation, but since there are probably tons of pictures of foundations, I didn't want to take a picture, and I'm lazy!

Tomorrow, I'm going to nordstrom to check out the peacocky collection! (It already released on MAC's website, and on Nordstrom.com!) Is anyone interested in this collection? What are you going to pick up, if you are going? :)

HAPPY NEW YEARS! And CVS 50-75% off HAUL!

Hi everyone! I just want to let you guys know, that my gift card giveaway is closed! I have most of the entries in a speedsheet already. Except for those last minute entries. Those will get added later today. And I'm going to be picking a winner by this weekend! :)

Anyway, so in case you guys weren't aware, CVS is having their semi annual 50-75% off sale! I picked up a ton of stuff for way cheaper than what the original price was! I'm so excited to try all these items! I'm going to be giving away a couple of these items, because I already have some of them! So watch out for that! 

I got a lot of good Revlon products for less than 5 dollars each! By the way, Lilac Pastelle is on sale too, even though it doesn't have a sticker! So if you guys have a chance, please check that out! 
I got 2 loreal pigments and a gel liner in brown! 
Rimmel is really good too! Most of the Rimmel london items were around $1.07 to $1.70! Great deal! 
I only picked up 2 items by maybelline, because theirs was 50% off. Still a good deal, but would be better if it were 75% off! 
 And I got this Revlon powder for super cheap as well! 
By the way, the cosmetics on sale won't be in a special place, they will be the regular makeup section! You just have to go and search. Most likely they will have signs where the big items are marked down! I wanted to take pictures of where the signs were, but there was a lady and she was putting stickers on items, and I didn't want her to think I was weird or whatever. I'm going to be doing reviews or tutorials with a majority of the items that I picked up! 

If any of you girls went to CVS and bought some of their sale items, please let me know! 

I want to wish everyone a happy new years! And hope we get off to a better year than last year! :)

New purple tutorial!

Hi everyone! So I knew today I wanted to film another tutorial! The reason being was because I was kind of in the mood. I had to get up early to go to work again. But I wasn't as tired today! I think it was because I got 7 hours of sleep, as opposed to 5 hours the other night! Haha. Anyway, so I wanted to show you guys this purple smoky eye look, that I did!



So I haven't been doing much lately. Just working. But I wanted to show you guys a little preview of the haul video, I will be filming tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the linear intense, since I bought the wet n wild one, and that one works perfectly, and it's super dark. I've watched reviews about the linear intense, and some people said that it's not that dark at all.

But look at the Maybelline blush at the bottom. That blush is absolute crap! The pigmentation is not even there. If anything this shouldn't even be called a blush! I think it comes out more like a highlight!
I did swatches so you guys could see how sheer this blush is! It's horrible! But I don't want to return it, because I don't want to seem like a mean bitch. 
This is what it looks like when swatched on my finger. Absolute crap! Ugh... Well I got the blushes for like $2.50. They are originally $6.00! So that's good. At least, I didn't spend a lot of money on stuff that I don't like!
The only other product I've used is the wet n wild liquid eyeliner, and it's very good! It's dark, and it glides smoothly. I just wish the opening of the liquid was smaller, sometimes I feel like I get too much product out. If you guys want a review of any of the products please let me know! :)

There is only 1 day left for my giveaway! Winner will be announced later this week! :)

Maybelline Eyestudio application

Hey everyone! Just want to let everyone know that my new line from Miss Comfortology, "Let them eat Cake" just launched right now! So please check it out: MissComfortology. Basically every item there is under $5 dollars! Which is good because I'm actually going to launch this line on Etsy come Monday. SHHHH! Just don't tell anyone at Etsy! :)

Still raining over here in Southern California, and I'm actually doing a lot better! I want to thank everyone who wished me well! Thank you! :)

Trina asked me to do swatches of the Maybelline palette so I decided to show you guys what it looks like when swatched!

Sapphire Siren:
Pink Persuasion:
Give me gold:
& Copper Chic:
I haven't opened the last two palettes yet. I still have Sunset Seduction and the purple one (Oh geez, I can't even remember the name of it) as well.

And I found a look for these palettes! It looks like this:
Up close picture of what it looks like when applied to eyes:
Two eyes:
I have to say, I'm really loving these palettes. They are so easy to apply. The only thing that sucks is the applicators that come with the palette. The sponge tip pulls off after a while. Which is annoying, but I just put a little bit of super glue on the wand, and it's fixed.

And since it's been raining like freaking crazy over here, I don't have good lighting to take pictures with. Which is a total bummer, hopefully next week the rain will let up, and I will be able to take better pictures of makeup. I actually did a look with give me gold, and pink persuasion, but it didn't come out so great because of the dark lighting.

I'm still counting down for my package to come in soon! My cousin said she put a ton of makeup items for me to try out, so I'm super excited. And I'm getting something special from my Auntie! :D

New Buys

Hi everyone! So this past week I started school. And it's good to be back in school, but I kind of wished that break was a little longer! Anyway, yesterday was the first day I went to my pharmacy internship class, and it was a little scary! My teacher kept saying things like, "When you get to your site, they are going to grade you!" And I started to freak out a little. But it's like a good kind of freaking out. It's a cross between happy and crazy! Haha.

If you haven't seen it already, just want to mention that on the sidebar I have a poll asking people what they want to see on my blog. Please vote, so that way I can get a better insight to what you want to see!

And here are the Maybelline eyestudio quads that I bought. I actually got six of them from online.
And the blue palette I got in, was already broken! It made me really really sad! :( I put the white shadow into a little container so I can use it and keep it. A close up of pink persuasion.
Here are some pictures of magazines, with the Maybelline eyestudio quads! (I don't know how to use my scanner!)
And here are some pictures that I took of myself today! I used the Maybelline gold quad on my eyes! Even though you can't really see it, because the picture makes me look super pale! That's all for me now! Hope everyone has a good weekend! I'm going to be doing a giveaway soon! Hopefully sometime next week! :)
