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! 

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! :)

Weekend

Hi everyone! How was everyone's weekend? I didn't do much. My boyfriend and I went exploring on Saturday, and on Friday we just hung out after I got off work.

I made some small purchases, because we went to Walmart, and I couldn't resist. I picked up a revlon colorburst lipstick in baby pink, and I also picked up this wet'n wild mega eyes creme eyeliner. Which is basically like a gel liner. I've read so many reviews and I was kind of dying to try this out!

How the eyeliner looks like. It comes with a small eyeliner brush as well.

The lipstick.

It's such a pretty pink color.

What the gel liner looks like.

This is what the lipstick looks like on my lips, and after I applied some Jill Stuart lip gloss.

So my boyfriend bought me some Japanese candy this weekend. A lot of these are really good! I loved the kit kat! It's already gone!

This is a lollipop candy!

Japanese oreo bars, and kit kat bars.

He bought me some panda cookies, and there was this cute panda comic in the box!

Since I'm out for school, I'm going to be working a little more. But I don't think that will get in the way of my blogging! Lol. Winners of the giveaway will be announced later this week! :D

DDF mini haul, major Pop Beauty haul, and drugstore haul

Hi everyone! So today, I'm going to post about my pop beauty haul and my DDF haul, and my drugstore haul! So many hauls in one day I know! But I'm feeling a little better after talking to my manager, so yay! Be warned, picture heavy!

Ok, so the first thing I'm going to talk about is my DDF haul! I ordered this 3 weeks ago from gilt.com, and it finally came in! If you want to check out gilt, you can go to the right sidebar, and I have links to where I shop online, and you can click that for an invitation. (So basically from oldest to newest haul)
The first thing I purchased from Gilt was an accident, I was trying to purchase the moisturizing photo age protection with the glossy lip treatment. I didn't mean to purchase the toning complex! But I guess it's good that I purchased it because it decreases the look of pore size, which is something I've been trying to do for a while.

labels from the back of the toning complex:
And the photo-age protection! I haven't used any of these products yet, because I just got them in, and I will probably do a review on them later on, maybe in a month or so.
Ok so onto the pop beauty haul! So basically I bought these off ebay, and I bought them from shannonalbert30, and her shipping is pretty fast! It took 4 days, but the bad thing is that you have to bid on her stuff, because it's not buy it now. She also has mac stuff in her store, and too faced, and some stila items, so check her out!

These were the two small palettes I got in the mail. Lid gold, and Lid silver! I haven't used either of them yet, because I've been trying to keep my makeup simple, with my Coffret D'or palette, but I will probably use them later. The two palettes, when they are open. I think the lid silver is very pretty, because the colors are dark, and lean more towards purple shades. By the way, pop beauty is awesome, because they always come with directions, so if you don't really know how to apply makeup, these palettes are awesome. Lid gold. Lid gold, when opened, and up close.
Lid gold swatches.Lid silver. Lid silver when opened, and up close. Lid silver swatches. I also purchased these two palettes, smokey eyes, and brown eyes.
The smokey eye palette, and colors! I've actually used this palette. I used it this past weekend, and it looks very pretty. I love dark colors, so the black on the far left is pretty good. smokey eye swatchs
And they both come with a cute little mirror for application. The only thing I don't like about these palettes is that they come with this two sided brush, and it has this elastic band that can hold a brush, but it's very annoying trying to put the brush back into the elastic band, because I don't want to damage the brush.
The brown eyes palette.
Brown eye swatches.The final item that was purchased was this hello gorgeous eyeshadow, blush, and lipgloss palette!
The top layer included the blush, and lipglosses! :)The second layer on the bottom included the eyeshadows. I'm not going to do swatches of these, because there are like 36 colors, and I'm too lazy to do all of them. Plus my arm can only hold 12 colors at a time, so I would have to swatch, remove, and repeat 3 times! Sorry about the glare! The last haul I did this week, was at CVS. Now I'm a CVS member, I have their card, and the only reason I purchased these was because I got a coupon last time I was there, that said $5 off any purchase of $15 or more. So of course I had to buy some makeup! Because thats pretty much the only thing I ever purchase when going to CVS. Well that and alcohol. Haha.

Left to right: Revlon matte eyeshadow in venetian blue, eyeshadow quad in 09 sterling rose, eyeshadow quad in 18 azure mist, revlon matte in peach sorbet (By the way, I got the revlon stuff because it was BOGO!), and the big orange thing is the airspun loose powder in honey beige.
The revlon eyeshadows.The sterling rose swatches. I love this palette. :)And the Azure Mist swatches.
So I bought this loose face powder, but now I'm kind of regretting it. It has a certain smell, like baby powder, and when applied, it makes my skin look extremely pale. I don't really like this powder at all. Oh well.
What it looks like, when open.
And last but not least, since I forgot to post a picture of the nails that Lindah got me, and sent me! Thank you Lindah! You are super awesome! I will be sending a little something something soon! :)
And that is basically it for my major hauls this week! I will be doing my paul and joe haul probably next week, as soon as my items come in, and the Coffret D'or palette review very soon!
