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! :)

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! :)

Room/Closet Tour? New items

Hi everyone! I've been asked on youtube a couple of times to do a room tour/closet tour. And I was wondering if any of you guys would like that as well? I wouldn't just post a video on here, I would post pictures and show you guys tips on how to keep your closet and room organized. Let me know in the comment section below!

So I went to Target the day after the mulberry collection debuted, and I picked up this purse! I've used it a couple times, and it's a pretty big purse! 

 Yeah, you can see the messy stuff in my purse! Haha. 
 My favorite part of my room now! I made the jewelry tree out of a couple branches, and I've put a lot of my jewelry on there! 

 Picture of me at graduation and a picture of me and my boyfriend. 
With flash.  

 My ring collection! :) 
 I went to the outlets in September, and Juicy Couture was having a awesome sale, which was basically 40% off any item. And I got these gorgeous rings for $20! What a steal! :D 
Recently, I've been painting my nails like crazy. Since I'm not working anymore, there's no restrictions on what I can paint my nails! My nails in Essie's nail polish! 
This is the color I have on my nails right now! I love glitter polish! 
 My bird Pikachu landed on my picture frame. What a silly bird! She makes me laugh! 
And a couple items, I picked up from the OC marketplace recently! I just had to pick up NYX's jumbo eye pencil in milk, it makes an amazing highlight color, and it blends really easily! And I picked up a NYX eyebrow pencil because they were super cheap! 
 That's all for now! I have a lot of new tutorials coming up, I'm just not sure how I'm suppose to post them up. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! :)
