[Snob Haulin': Sephora(!) & Old Navy]






Oh man! I went to the mall intending on paying my macys bill and getting late xmas gifts but ended up blowing my whole check! I looked ahead of time online at the stores at Boca Town Center... I knew Old Navy, Gap and Banana Republic had sales but only hit up Old navy. I ended up buying my mom a couple tops (as a late christmas present) and getting my self a few things... I got myself a black cardigan and 2 white tops... very nice and @ $2 a piece, even nicer. I went to Sephora to pick a two gifts (one for each of my besties) and something for myself. As I'm standing in line, I see a box and a lady is standing in front of it and I see $10... DING DING DING DING! I was resisting on buying it, but I caved. (I need to up on my insider points too, lol. I;m at 76 points =]) Anyway, I was so excited to use it, but I was running late for work... So, I got home, and I immediately opened the package. It a set of 2 illuminating powders (that are full size, mind you.) The set comes in rose gold and bronze. These retail at $32 each!!! U ain't gota tell me twice! lol... I was about to buy a mineralized skinfinish from M.A.C. but I spent half as much for 2 times the product! These are two beautiful colors that can be used as highlighter or blush... More info is here. Enjoy the weekend!

[Snob Reviews: N.Y.C. Smooth Mineral Loose Eye Powder Kit]






So, while at the dollar store on my break, I saw this mineral powder kit and wanted to try it. I have seen it at Walgreens & Walmart and always passed on it... This time I bought it to give it a chance. I got it home and looked through the packaging, by the way which is very clever. It features a pot with a sifter and a cap to the sifter so the powder doesn't go everywhere. I love it! It also features a little brush/sponge duo and a waterproof sealer (main reason I bought this). The next morning I tried it and instantly fell in love. I used the powder fry at the upper lashline to smoke it out and then did the liquid liner. So pretty! I forgot to post pics of the liner wet but I will do that later. Enjoy! P.S. I liked it so much I bought another the day after! lol

[Snob Haulin': Sally's]]




So, I went to Sally's today to buy a hair relaxer to do my hair today. I walked around looking at various items. I saw that China Glaze's Matte Magic was reduced to $2.99! I wanted to purchase but skipped out, maybe another time. So anyway, I always stop by the Sally Girl display and peeped the Sally Baked Eyeshadow singles. I was initially looking for a black or carbon color. But found a pretty green and pretty blue. They were only 89¢... Can't beat that price... well check you guys out later. I will probably post a look tomorow... Im hitting up Sawgrass with my bestie!! Time for a nap!

[[My Package Arrived!!]]


My long awaited package had come in the mail yesterday, but didn't check the mail till just now... lol. Anyway, details coming soon... :]

[Snob Haulin':Big Lots]

Sorry about my absence... I guess I have been sort of discouraged because of my lack of followers and lack of a good camera.. Anyway, I wanted to blog about a recent haul that I did over the weekend... I bought two makeup brushes: 1 face powder and 1 eyeshadow smudger. I have tried both brushes and they are very soft. The face brush is perfect for applying face powder and blush... I used the eyeshadow smudger brush yesterday and it looks the same shape of the 219 (pencil brush) from either M.A.C. or Sigma Makeup.. although I do not have these brushes, this brush is a great alternative from the reviews of the above mentioned brushes. I did two looks with this brush and it helped wonders as I didn't have a pointed eye brush before. I would post but my camera is busted at the moment (mentioned in a previous post)... [Update on the camera situation: I am currently saving up for a camera I saw at Target...] Anyway, I will keep in touch... Besos...
