Drugstore Revlon Haul

So CVS was having bogo (get one free!) on Revlon products and of course me being my usual self i had to make some purchases and justify it as a can't miss oppurtunity :)

 

So here's everything i got, (random nail file as well) not too much but some items that i had been curious about and used this oppurtunity to indulge in.

Starting with the eyeshadows:

L-R i got the 12hr color stay eye palette in the purples, (I havent tried it yet but i will do a review when i do.) and the matte shadows in green and brown.

 

Next up:

Colorstay mineral finishing powder in Sunkiss. GOREGOUS color i love it. Feels nice and soft too. It's and all over face powder but it is shimmery so i think it's best for just dusting on places you want to brighten up for a "sunkissed" glow (i.e. forehead, cheeks, chin).

 

I forgot to take closeup pics of the Colorstay mineral lipglazes but i did swatch them, they are pretty nude colors

Very soft, not sticky at all. top: #500 lasting shimmer, bottom: #510 Forever fig

And last but not least, nail polishes:

L-R: Hushed Blush, Silver Screen, Plum Seduction, Seche Vite Dry Fast top coat

And of course i forgot to buy what i had originally gone into CVS for, and spent all my money on Revlon (about $70 total, thats with the get 1 free). I originally was going to buy moisturizer for my face. I ended up buying my day cream, and one of my fave multitasking products:

Since i was broke as a joke, i bought the baby lotion for like $5-6 as a substitute for my night cream which runs $15. Baby lotion works just as well and i can also use it as a body cream so its a win win situation. Plus look how much bigger it is then the day cream! lordy. The day cream was $15.

 

i did go over the top, i went in planning on spending maybe $30 and i spent a little over $100. *sigh* But i think i picked up some good things so of course it's worth it in the end ^_^

Thanks for reading!

 

 

I <3 Target Haul

Hi Everyone!

Yes another Haul, I hope you don't mind 2 back 2 back haul posts, i kinda fell behind.

So here's the beauty portion:

So pretty much i went shopping for hair and body stuff. I won't go into too much detail on the hair products here because i will be doing a hair routine post and these products will be explained in detail there. Other then that i think the Dove body wash is self explanatory, Dove is one of my Holy Grail products and i have to be desperate to use anything else. Matter of fact, know that i think about it, Dove body wash is the only product i never cheated on. I have eczema so i am very careful about body washes and Dove has never let me down. LOVE it.

And the cute makeup bag that i absolutely did not need but had to have:

 

Sonia Kashuk double zipper makeup bag for breast cancer awareness. So cute.

 

And some Jewelry i picked up:

I was soo mad when i got home, one of the pairs of earring broke:

I am going to take it back, too bad it was the last one on the display.

These are big and dangle down to my shoulders. Very Sasha Fierce.

And this ring was too small for my other fingers but i bought it as a pinky cocktail ring:

Now that i'm home i think it might look a little silly to have such a big ring on my pinkie. What do you guys think?

And last but not least, my fave of all the pieces, the elephant necklace charm:

Love the details. The coin says "Queen Elizabeth the second". Little details make things special to me.

I got a parking meter ticket because i paid for 1 hr and i was in Target for like 2.5 hrs lol. I love Target jewelry, they always have fun and whimsical things. I get so caught up whenever i hit their jewelry section. All in all fun trip and of course I got some goodies so i'm happy :)

I hope all is well, thanks for reading!

On a sidenote: I've noticed alot of youtubers are saying they aren't doing haul videos anymore because it's "bragging". Umm yeah? did you just catch on to that fact? But hello, people love to see haul videos. They help us learn about the product that their using and not only that, when i see a haul video i get excited to see what kinda looks will be created from the product. I think the negative comments some people leave gets to them but anyone who is hating on a haul probably isn't a follower or they would be just as excited. Basically my point is yes a haul vid is bragging somewhat, but hey, if the readers/watchers who are your followers are ok with it then keep em coming. Just my opinion, sorry for the mini rant.
