Recent Makeup Haul

Hello lovely people! It has been a hot minute since I have posted anything on my blog. Life has changed... A LOT!!! In a VERY good way tho! Anyways, I thought I would share my most recent makeup haul I bought over the past few weeks. I found some pretty good sales & got some pretty nice items! 

I discovered Hollar(sing up & receive a $2 credit!) over the summer & found some great deals on makeup I haven't seen in stores near me, so I gave these a try. I haven't tried the Sugar Magic mascara yet, but it's on my to try soon list. I did try a sample of the Iced pigment powder & they are really nice. I will doa  review on them soon with some swatches.




 The Family Dollar near me closed, so a few days before they closed for good, I was able to score some more makeup(mostly lip stuff) for about 25 cents each. All of them are by L. A. Colors. Their are a few doubles of some of the glosses/lipsticks because I picked some up for a friend.


I got this lot of goodies at Dollar General. They had Some makeup on clearance & at the time, they had a sale were you got an additional 50% off sell prices. I needed a new foundation & concealer, so that was prefect timing. 


Walmart, Target & Family Dollar(a few weeks before they closed) haul. Out of all of this, I did try the Hard Candy primer stick, sadly, it didn't work for me. I ended up breaking out in an itchy rash shortly after putting it on. I had read such good things about it & had high hopes, wish it had worked for me.




It may take me some time to get back into the swing of things, but I do have some ideas ready! Thanks for sticking around & I hope you enjoyed! Please leave a comment if you see something you'd like me to do a review on 1st!

Hard Candy 20th Anniversary Nail Polish in Sky

I remember when Hard Candy 1st came out with "sky" nail polish, but I was never able to get it. When they started selling it at Walmart(08 or 09 I think?), I was thrilled to finally own more Hard Candy! I bought the Just Nails in "sky" & loved it for summer. When the 20th anniversary items were released in late April, early May, I couldn't wait to find them, but had no luck at all. About 2 weeks ago, I was with my boyfriend, shopping at Walmart late at night & we went by the makeup. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted something baby blue hiding behind some non Hard Candy nail polishes. It just happened to be the 20th anniversary of "sky"! It was on clearance for $2, so it came home with me. 

I decided to compare the 20th ann. version to the Just Nails version. To me, they look just alike in the bottle, but they are very different when swatched. The 20th ann. is more creamy while the Just Nails one is more sheer. I can't say how it compares to the original, so if you'd like to share photos of the original, please do!

I like both shades but I will probably use the 20th ann. "sky" more. Both went on very easy and didn't leave any streaks. I also lucked out & found the 20th anniversary eye shadow palette, which I will be sharing soon. Please feel free to let me know if you were able to find of the the limited edition items!
