[[.A Collective Haul.]]

Over the past couple of weeks, I have bought a couple items to add to my makeup collection. I have been everywhere haulin; Dollar Tree, Beall's Outlet, and Big Lots. I'm going to start off with Big Lots.
At Big Lots, they were having a clearing out sale a couple weeks ago and I purchased mainly lip products. Everything was under $1!

-Revlon Beyond Natural Cream Lipgloss in 140 Spice
-Revlon Colorstay Overtime Sheer Lipcolor in 870 Sheer Champagne
-Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze in 515 Everlasting Blush
At the Dollar Store, I purchased eye products.
-LA Colors Eye Palette in

Sand Castle

Aquatic Paradise
-LA Colors Dual Pencil (Cream Eyeshadow & Eyeliner)
Blue
Bronze
-Bonne Bell Liplites Glossy Tint in Caramel Latte
-Maybelline Line Stylist lipliner in 610 Nude
-LA Colors Nail polish in orange and teal
At Beall's Outlet, Today, I purchased:
-E.L.F. eyelash curler
-Beauty Essential Cosmetic sponge and blush brush
-Stila Cosmetics Multieffect Mascara in Black ($1.99!)
This mascara must have been expired b/c I just used it and it is clumpy as old oatmeal... Total fail!!Oh, and I picked up 2 things at Walgreens:
-Bonne Bell liquid lipsmacker in Strawberry ($.74)
-Rimmel 3D Effect Lipgloss in Indecent
This lipgloss has a cool spatula type applicator. I really like this because I like using glosses over my lipstick and hate when I get my l/g applicator stained or dirty with the l/s color. Can you say OCD?? lol :)
Swatches of all the lip products

-Wet N Wild dol Eyes Creme Shadow Pencil (Buy one, get one 50%)
Distressed (dark blue)Techno (purple)
I also purchased a Noxema Bikini Trimmer at Big Lots for $3. I'm excited to try this. It is a battery operated trmming tool that comes with two types of trim tips and with a bonus silk carrying bag.

Hope you guys enjoyed my (pic heavy!!) post... Onto a personal note, I am without my other half... I miss him dearly and can't wait till he comes back. Hence, the spare time I have to blog :) but I really did miss my blog... Hopefully, a new computer and camera will be coming my way to increase the amount of posts on my blog. Enjoy... and leave comments!

[[...Back from a hiatus, with a mini haul. Edit.]]

I know it's been a long time since I posted. I have had some issues at home and I wanted to take a break from all the bullshit. I picked up a couple items from walgreens after work the other night. I needed a new liquid liner because I have been using a mineral powder/sealer for the past month or two; and to be honest, it is really time consuming. I wanted a liquid liner for ease and to save time. As the pictures show, it is a very intense black. Which I love. Because, ever so often, u buy a black liner and it dries gray or even blue. I wanted to get the felt tip version but they did not have my desired color. I like it. And for $2.99, you can't beat it. Next up, Wet N Wild MegaLength mascara. The color I got is very black. I saw Karen from MBB talk about it but totally forgot that this was the exact formula she was talking about (as there are 3 different versions of this mascara). The link is here. Anyway, to be honest, I haven't tried it yet. But I will update this as soon as I do. I haven't worn a look since all the shit in my house has gone down.... But, anyway have a good week ladies...HOLD UP!!! I forgot to mention that I got an instant rebate of a $1 on the mascara! So it came up to $1.99. Seriously, $1.99 for a mascara? Go get it... NOW lol. Oh yeah, I wanted to include a little review/haul from Beall's Outlet. I got the Maybelline Mineral Power blush in Fresh plum. I got it for $2.99. Compared to the $9.49 at Walgreens, its a pretty good deal. Its a pretty pinky color. It gives me a natural flush of color. In other news (sorry this post is all over the place), I landed a makeup gig! Its my best friends sisters friend for prom. YAY!!!
Seriously, have a good week.... Besitos

EDIT: I finally tried the mascara and for me its a bit clumpy... So I use my other mascara (L.A. Colors) to sort of separate the clumps. But, I do notice that my lashes are a bit more pronounced and longer. It definitely gives me "falsie" look which is nice, because I do not wearen lashes often but like the look. Also, I have a haul post coming... So be on the look out!

[Snob Reviews: Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion]

So, do you guys remember the post mentioning a package a while ago? Well, the package was concerning the company Skin MD Natural. I was contacted by email and this company was nice enough to send me a full size bottle of the shielding lotion and samples. Here's my take on this product:

This products is very light, but moisturizing. It had a nice texture and feel. When applied to the face, it absorbs very quickly. It has a light fresh scent. I like it because its natural and didn't dry my skin out hours later like other moisturizers. When S. Fl got a little chilly (like 40 degrees), this was my go to lotion. I get very dry during cold snaps, it gets painful. this kept my skin sliky and soft throughout the day. What a lifesaver!
Well thats my review... Enjoy!

[.So, long time no see, no talk...]

Yes, I have been a bit M.I.A. for the past couple weeks. The main reason why is that I'M IN LOVE!!! I have had the most amazing man come into my life and he has shown me so much in the past couple of weeks.... New posts coming very shortly...

[Snob Haulin': Beall's Outlet, Walgreens, Wal-Mart & Rainbow]

I went on a mission the past two days... And the mission was: FOUNDATION. I came to the conclusion that using foundation will make my makeup look more polished. I first went to Beall's Outlet and picked up Maybelline Superstay Silky Foundation. I didn't really like the formula and plus it put a white cast on my face in pictures. Next, I went to Walgreens and bought 2 Revlon Colorstay foundations-one liquid and one mineral. I got the liquid in Cappucino and the mineral in Deep. I am very happy with my purchase. Too bad, I didn't go check out the outlets beforehand 0 they had my shed in Studio Fix (oh well). I used the mineral foundation adn its looks perfect. I went to WalMart also and used my giftcard given to me by one of my co-workers and bought a pair of lashes (Salon perfect #21) and N.Y.C. loose face powder in translucent. I love the lashes and the powder works great (for around $3). Then, I hit up Rainbow yesterday. I got an outfit and saw a box of eyeshadow stackers and eye brushes. I picked up the darkest colored stacker and a brush. The stacker was $2.99 and the brush was $.99. The glitter was a perfect addition to my NYE look. Enjoy!




Oh... I wanted to post a pic of my NYE makeup, so here it is.

[Snob Haulin': Sawgrass Mills & Walmart!]

So, I went to Sawgrass Mills (2X) with my besties today... One time with Steph in the afternoon and again with Che at round 7. I went in the afternoon with Steph because she wanted to buy me some stuff as a late Christmas present. She got me drizzlegold loose beauty powder and jewelmarine glitter at the CCO at Off Saks 5th. I was so happy! I love M.A.C.! Also, I purchased nice to be nice lipglass from the Hello Kitty collection. I missed out on this lipglass when Hello Kitty came out and never forgave myself for it, but I finally purchased it. For the second trip, I took Che to the CCO because she never knew where it was. I really wanted to get more stuff (I got my paycheck before I went) and she wanted stuff too, so off we went. I wanted to purchase more stuff (Valentines lipgelee & Reflects Transparent Teal) but I wanted to slow down on buying M.A.C. But guess what??? Che got me a M.A.C. gift card for a late christmas present!! I am the happiest little girl in the world right now! I ended up just purchasing Blue Flame eyeshadow and synched up 3D lipglass at the CCO... Next stop: Wally World! I needed a new makeup box, so I hit up Walmart to get a sterilite container to store my evergrowing makeup collection. I bought a 3 drawer Tomorow I will probably go to M.A.C. and use my giftcard... Enjoy the pics... Besitos! (P.S. HAPPY NEW YEARS!)
These pics do not do this glitter any justice!
