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!

Just In Case Bag

I recently made a quick late night trip to Walmart and came across a cute item in the checkout line. I found this cute Just In Case bag that has 7 items you might need at any given moment.

It was the only one on the shelf at the time, so I wasn't sure if it was a Christmas gift item or not, but when I went back the next day, they had more and in other colors like pink & purple. 

The outside feels like a waterproof material, plastic like, but not hard. Plenty of room to add more items you might need.

Inside you get the following.

Mirror

Nail File

Lip Balm

Shimmer Lip Gloss

Tweezers

Nail Clippers

5 Hair Ties.

My guess would be that the color of the items would depend on the color of the bag. I did not notice a scent or flavor with the lip gloss or lip balm. The lip gloss left shine, the balm did not leave shine. You get all of this for less then $5! Perfect for a quick gift for any female in your life. Some items even a guy could use. I plan on getting more to keep for last minute gifts!

Target Beauty Box, Head of The Class Review

Welcome lovely readers! I'm going to be sharing the "Head Of The Class" beauty box from Target. There were 7 items included in this box for only $5! They also had another box called the "Honor Roll" box, which I will be sharing in the next post. 

Everything came packed in this cute black box with a lid which can be reused to hold just about anything.

An introduction card that tells what all is in the box along with a coupon to use on beauty items at Target.

All of the items included.

Goody Ouchless Elastics

Bathery Pumice Stone

Hollywood Fashion Tape

CoverGirl Colorlicious Lip Gloss

Wet N Wild Max Volume Plus Mascara

Herbal Essences Wild Naturals Illuminating Dry Oil Spray

Yes To Cucumbers 10-Count Wipes

For $5, I couldn't pass it up. I have tried the lip gloss and it's a nice screen pale pink with tiny gold specks & should work on any skin tone. If you haven't heard of the Target beauty boxes, they have them 3 to 4 times a year. They are always worth the price in my opinion. Nouveaucheap is a good blog to follow to find out when the boxes are out. I will be posting the "Honor Roll" box soon!

Beauty Haul From The Past Week

Over the past week(10-27-14 thru 11-2-14), I picked up some pretty nice beauty items, some even while on my little getaway! Just about everything was on sale or bought at the Dollar Tree.

I only took a group photo, but if anyone would like a photo of something by itself, please let me know & I will take one:)

At Walgreens, I got the CG nail polish for $1.49, the Fergie ones for $1.98, twist & shine balm was $1.50(I think), the eyeliner & mascara were $2.49. I got the dream wonder foundation at Rite Aid for only $2.98 because it was 40% off & I had a $4 off coupon. At Lily's, the powder was $4.99 & the eyeliner $2.99, those 2 were bought as we were leaving Pigeon Forge, but we also have one of those stores in town, they have some pretty neat stuff.

Like I said before, if you would like more info on any of the items in the photo, please let me know. Let me know too if you'd like a review on any of them. I am planning one with the foundation, mineral powder & the mascara. I heard the mascara was almost as good as a $30 one, so we shall see!

Care Bears Flavored Lip Gloss Set

It's no secret that I LOVE the Care Bears! I've loved them since I was little. I have been a big collector since 2003. I have over 100 bears & who knows how many odds & ends of Care Bear items I have so far! If there's a Care Bears item in the store, I will find it lol! So, when I found these lip glosses at Dollar General the other day, I couldn't say no.

The price for these? $2 for the set! They also had single glosses that rolled on & "slap" bracelets that came with 2 lip glosses that connected to it. They were also $2 each. Each one has a different flavor. 

From left to right

Funshine Bear-Lemon

Tenderheart Bear-Orange

Wonderheart Bear-Cherry

Grumpy Bear-Blue Berry

Best Friend Bear-Grape (misprint on her arm, they forgot to color it!)

It says for ages 3 & up on the box. I think they would make a perfect gift for the little girl in your life who likes makeup. They are all clear colored gloss, so no messy colors! I didn't find them to be sticky, but it may vary. I know they are aimed for younger kids, but I plan on using them for myself & I see nothing wrong with us kids at heart using them!

Also, if you or someone you know is a Care Bears fan, check you local Walmart for this cup. I found it in the wrapping paper & gift bag aisle. It was around $1.50. I love how it uses the original Care Bears on it! 

Thanks for stopping by! Have you spotted any cool Care Bear items lately? Let me know in the comments:)

Cover Girl Makeup Prize

A little over a month ago I entered a contest on Cover Girl's Instagram to win a prize pack with some of their new makeup. I got a DM(direct message) on Instagram from them saying I might be a winner & they asked for my mailing info in case I won. Well, I have the mind of Dory sometimes & completely forgot about it. A few days ago I got a package & it was my prize!

I received two nail polishes & a lip gloss. I was sent two of the orange shade nail polishes, but I was able to trade for a different color with a friend. I noticed on Instagram that the winners got either two nail polishes & a lip gloss, or two lip glosses and one nail polish. I haven't tried them yet, but I plan on using the nail polish the next time I do my nails & I will post a blog on how it is. It says "nail gel" on it, so I'm guessing it's supposed to last longer maybe? We shall find out soon!

Jolly VoxBox Goodies From Influenster!

Last month I got this lovely box of goodies from Influenster! I received the following in my box...

Mini Ducklings Duck Tape

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer

NYC HD Color Trio

Puffs With Lotion Tissues

Skinny Cow Chocolate & Peanut Butter Candy

I'm still looking for the right craft to use my Duck Tape with(I got pink & black zebra print). The lip gloss was a very light but nice color. The eye shadow helped me created a soft natural look That I wore on Christmas. I personally do not like tissues with lotion in them for some reason, but my mom used them & liked them very well. The candy, hands down some of the best chocolate & peanut butter combo I've had in a VERY long time. Just thought I would share this right quick. If you're interested in joining this programe, please comment with your email, I only have 5 invites to send. Thanks for stopping by!
