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:)

Dollar Tree Goodies
Maybelline Dream Mousse Shadow.
Milani Glitzy Lip Gloss in 2 different shades.
e.l.f. Studio Small Smudge Brush.
Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish in Ocean(it's blocked by the foundation).

Walgreens
Cover Girl Glowing Nights Glosstinis
Wet n Wild Fergie Nail Polish x2
Rimmel London Scandaleyes Kohl Liner
Jordana Twist & Shine Balm Stain.
Jordana Best Lash Extreme.

Rite Aid
Maybelline Dream Wonder Foundation.

Lily's As Seen On TV Items Store
L.A. Colors Mineral Pressed Powder.
L.A. Colors Grafix Eyeliner.

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!

Revlon ColorStay Gel-Smooth Base Coat & L.A. Colors Pro-Gel Topcoat Review

I don't do a whole lot of reviews on nail polish, but when something really works well, I feel like I need to share. I found the Revlon ColorStay Gel-Smooth Base Coat at Big Lots for $1.50 & the L.A. Colors Pro-Gel Topcoat at Family Dollar for $2. The nail polish I used is also by L.A. Colors in "sunkissed".

These are my nail after a week(I didn't think of getting a before because I'm "smart" like that lol!). This was after swimming, cleaning, showers, hair washing(I have long & thick hair), arcade game playing & more. I really didn't expect it to do so well because I've never had any luck with other "gel" type nail polishes or topcoats. 

The base coat looks like a milky color, but it goes on clear. It did smooth out a few ridges I had in my nails & it dried pretty quick.

I thought this was a nice fall color & it worked with all of the outfits I took to Pigeon Forge TN. 

I'm not sure how new this is, but I just found it 2 weeks ago. It was in a plastic package instead of just being with the other polishes. It left my nails very shiny, The shine did tone down some over the days, but still had more shine then the nail polish alone. This is the best topcoat that I have tried. I didn't take very long to dry. This will be my go to topcoat from now on!

Revlon PhotoReady BB cream Review.

Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream

Hello! I bought this about a month ago on sale but just now decided to try it out. I got it in 010 Light/Pale. I have to say that it matches my skin perfect! I would say that it has light to medium coverage, maybe more if you added layers. I found it very easy to apply. It has SPF 30 in it, which I love. It has a light sunscreen smell to it. I had no problems blending it in using a rounded end sponge. This is the 1st BB Cream I have tried, so I can't compare it to others yet, but I am a fan of this one.

Not sure why this photo uploaded sideways, but this was after wearing it all day long. It's not the best photo of it. I also used Cover Girl truMAGIC under it which I will be reviewing next!

Oldest Makeup In My Collection, Revlon StreetWear FX Lip Stix

So, I was going thru my makeup and I still have this lipstick! I know, it's not good to keep old makeup, but I just can not toss this one. I miss the Revlon StreetWear line so bad! They need to bring it back. I had some of the creamy eye shadows & a lot of the nail polishes, but none of those made it over the years. I wore this a lot in high school(all of my lipsticks form that weird point on them). The name of the color is "Star 69". It's like a purple with a blueish hue. I loved the little mirror that was on the top. Surprisingly it does not have that old makeup smell like most old ones that I have tossed. What's the oldest item you have in your makeup collection?
