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? :) 

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! :) 

I'm back to my spending ways!

Hi everyone! So how was everyone's weekends? Mines was alright. I hung out with a couple friends, we went to this super yummy shaved ice place, called Mochilato! Thanks to Jeanne, for letting us know about that place, and for meeting up with us! :)

Mochilato

14310 Culver Dr.

Irvine, CA 92604

NO WEBSITE! O_O

Omg this shaved ice was soooo good! It's not as big as Guppy's but we got the second to smallest size. I finished a good majority of it! I love mochi and red bean. The boyfriend didn't like it so much. But I really like it! It was so crazy looking that I had to take several pictures just to get all the angles! But it was sooooo good! I will definitely have to come back here! 

Anyway, so I did a video this weekend. I actually had planned on doing 2 more, but I didn't get those edited out in time. :(

But it's okay, because honestly, I'm going to try really hard to get those videos out this coming weekend! So if you guys are wondering why my makeup is the same in the videos, and why I'm wearing the same clothes, well at least you guys know now! Haha.

So this is a quick look at the video. I didn't take pictures of everything I bought because I didn't remember to, but this is a majority of what I bought. If you guys are wondering why the ELF palette is crossed out, it's because I returned it. I didn't like the pigmentation in the palette. It was way too light, and I couldn't get the colors to show up when I swatched it. So I returned it. I'm hoping to get the smokey eye palette when it comes back to my local Target.

I really needed a smaller brow comb and brush. Mines is really long, so of course I couldn't see myself taking that around and traveling with it, so I picked up the ELF brow comb and brush! 

I picked up 3 ELF $1 eyeshadow quads, and I have to say, I'm really loving these quads. They are pretty nice, and pigmented. I'm planning on doing a tutorial on these really soon! The one below is in Drama! It's a very nice smokey eye quad! 

 This quad is in butternut, this quad is a really simple neutral eyeshadow quad. I'm totally loving this quad! 

I bought this quad in the hopes of doing Holly Ann AeRee's makeup look from her video, but for some reason the pink doesn't show up on my dark skin as much. But it's alright, because I found a great way to layer the colors onto my eyes. 

 And I purchased these bottles for our trip to Vegas, in September! 

And this is the nail color I got from Forever21, this weekend! It's a pretty mint green color. I think this color leans more towards green than blue. And it's really similar to my sinful colors color in Mint Apple with less shimmer! 

And the video: 

Anyway, so I'm going to go to Vegas in September! I'm super excited, because unlike the last couple of times we've went to Vegas, we only stay for 2 nights, and 3 days, but this time we are staying for 4 nights, and 4 days! It should be pretty good! I've got my club gear all lined up and ready to go! Haha. 

Get ready for my haul from the Vegas CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet)! By the way, if you guys don't know about the Vegas CCO, it's an actual store, as opposed to the small area in Saks 5th Avenue here in California! So it's definitely worth checking out if any of you guys are ever out there! :)

Well I'm off to clean, and will update you guys soon! :D
