Recent Beauty Haul - Black Friday & CVS Winter beauty clearance

Just the makeup I've bought in the past week...I don't usually buy this much makeup in one week but Black Friday and CVS winter beauty clearance happen to fall right around the same time so here I am (:

My picture from Instagram of my shopping bag!

 

 

 

 

 

 

a little of everything, I had two of the Rimmel mascaras and two of the Airspun powders but I already gave those to my mama, gotta keep her stocked up too! (The Milani lipstick was NOT clearance but on sale for $2.99 this week, everything else is clearance!)

Nothing in my CVS is stickered with clearance stickers yet and they told me maybe not even until January but I just took products I seen on other blogs and scanned them, some came up clearance others did not but hopefully soon! This is 5 different trips in the past three days with a total combined savings of $155.26!!

 

I'm not going to list everything but the things that stood out to me as a GREAT buy were..

*Coty AirSpun loose powder for $1.82 (bought 2!)

*Physicians Formula shimmer strips (bronzer, blush, eyeshadow) $3.45 (saved over $10 on this item)

*Revlon Just Bitten balm stains in Darling & Precious for $2.25 apiece (almost $7 in savings apiece) 

*Rimmel Max Volume mascara for $1.95 (bought two)

*Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze for $2.45

*L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes starter kit (Mascara, eyeliner & pencil sharpener for $7.89!

*Sally Hansen Colorfast lip balm pencils for $1.22 each! (bought 3)

*Nicole by OPI polish from the Selena Gomez and Modern Family collections regular $7.99 each I bought for $1.99 each

*NYC liquid shine lip glosses in Midtown Mulberry & Big Apple Spice for .49 cent each!

*Lipsmaker Party Pack chapsticks (8piece) for $2.49 regular $9.99!

**I'll more than likely will go back for more as new items become available & to grab some repeats for stocking stuffers!

 

Selena Gomez & Modern Family nail polish collections by Nicole by OPI for $1.99 at CVS, no clearance stickers still!

 

 

 Black Friday!

I didn't do any major beauty shopping on Black Friday I was on the prowl for boots, ended up with 3 pair... but I did pick up a few things here and there.

 

Bath & Body had Buy 3 Get 3 Free so I grabbed some things for gifts but also grabbed myself these two sprays & a matching Pink Chiffon body wash. It's such a girly scent, I'm in love plus its pink! I also purchased a few 3 wick candles because they were on sell, smell amazing and they last forever!

While waiting for other stores to open we stopped in Big Lots just to see what they had going on and I ended up with a WNW eye lash curler for .70 cent, WNW Natural wear pressed powder (never heard of this before) and 6 Rimmel vinyl jelly lip liners , they came in 2 packs that were $2.00 apiece so basically $1.00 per lip liner. I was impressed.

 

 Target - 3 pack of EOS lipbalms for $7.99 (pomegranate raspberry, sweet mint & vanilla bean (limited edition) and Sonia Kashuk concealer stick

 

Not Pictured ( Too Faced Better than Sex mascara &

 Too Faced perfect eyes eyeliner) both were deluxe sizes & at Sephora for $10 for the set, I've been wanting to try BTS mascara so I figured $10 for the mascara and eyeliner was a decent deal!

 

My best friend Heather & I waiting in line for Kohls to open!

 

Sephora Haul!

Benefit - How to Look the Best at Everything - $30

Sephora Exclusive

A few weeks ago I received a small sample of the Benefit Hello Flawless foundation and wanted to try it out for more than a day but I didn't want to quite splurge on a full bottle so exclusive to Sephora they have this set with Porefessional, Hello Flawless, two shades of  boi-ing concealer and Hello Flawless powder, for only $30 this a really great way to try out Benefit products and see how they all work together.

 

Sephora Black Magic palette. I didn't have time to swatch the entire thing but I've bought another Sephora palette (Desert Palette) and I use it all the time. Sephora has great eye shadows!

Charlotte Ronson eye shadow quad

I've never owned anything from CR so I thought this would be a good start.

Swatches from the Charlotte Ronson quad.

 

I had the option to use some of my points I've earned and I've been looking to try Kat Von D products so I'll let you know how this goes.

 

For spending $25 or more you get to pick one of four sample bags, I'm not really impressed with anything in this bag, so I'm not even sure why I picked it. I am excited to try the Smashbox mascara but the rest of it I've tried and don't like or something I wouldn't be interested in. To the stocking stuffer pile they go!

 

& then my 3 samples I picked.

 

(I also bought false eyelashes from Sephora & I'm not sure why I didn't get a picture of them)

 

 

 

 

 

Urban Decay Naked Palette 3

So this is the new Urban Decay Naked 3 eye shadow palette. I ran across this online and fingers crossed its true! I love these shadow colors. I will defiantly be adding this to the top of my Christmas list ! According to a post I seen online this should be available for purchase starting Saturday November 16th...as soon as I here more I will happily post it !

 

This is the photo from my Instagram! I am so in love with these colors!

October Empties & Favorites

I didn't have a lot of October empties so I decided to combine my empties/favorites all into one for October!

My empties for October:

Revlon Beyond Natural false lashes : 91169 - omg I am so obsessed with how these make my whole face look ! Seriously I wore these for a Halloween but they would look amazing for an extra glammed up day look or a night out!

 

Equate beauty Night Time soothing makeup remover towelettes - I use these over & over I am obsessed with them. I've already repurchased. These things are huge so you only need one and I can take off an entire days worth of makeup or even a full face of Halloween makeup. Also removes eye makeup like a charm.

 

Maybelline FITme liquid foundation-  I really like this foundation, it gives me flawless skin, I don't always get to wear it when my skin is being extra oily because then I am a grease pit but if I am having a normal or dry day I'm good. Yes I would repurchase this! (I've recently bought the Maybelline FITme foundation stick so we will see how this compares!)

 

Benefit Hello Flawless foundation - This was a sample from Sephora I do believe and I was kinda on the fence about trying it because I seen a few reviews and people said it sucked but I LOVED it. I ended up getting two & a half uses out of it and I will be purchasing a full size bottle, it makes my face look good, really flawless and its oil free so that is helpful.

 

October Favorites!

 

Naughty & Nice body spray in Sweet Seduction (Walmart) - This is a dead ringer for Pure Seduction from Victoria Secret seriously it smells just like it and its under $5, I may go back and get the body wash!

 

Coola - matte tint Natural BB cream with spf 30 - Coola sent me this to try out and I am in love. It goes on translucent and I use it as a primer under my makeup and it last for hours. If you guys haven't tried any Coola products you should! I also use their tinted moisturizer and its amazing as well.

 

Sephora instant radiance foundation - I bought this on a whim because it was on sale and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like it and the coverage it gives!

 

Equate beauty - Nail polish remover pads - I bought these on the road to an event when I realized I didn't touch up my toes so I had to just remove the polish and go with it , I ran in the store grabbed these (I didn't even know they existed! Where have I been?) but one pad per packet and it removes all your polish. I love these! Quick & easy and travel friendly.

 

NYX Butter Gloss in Merengue - I bought a 3 pack of Butter Gloss and this pink is my favorite! It smells amazing, like candy. I wear it alone or over lipstick. I can't wait to try out all of them!

 

Rimmel scandaleyes flex mascara- I'm not particularly fond of this mascara on bare lashes by itself but I do like to layer it over other mascaras and it does amazing things when I'm wearing my false lashes! LOVE LOVE LOVE for merging false lashes and my real lashes together. I used it with my Revlon lashes and people were like hey I love your lashes and I was all like I know right(: haha but really they looked great.

 

e.l.f. matte lip color in Rich Red - The pencil type shape is so easy to work with and goes on super smooth. I'm not a fan of matte red lips so I put a gloss over it and it works out perfect. No bleeding and being messy. I have 4 color total and the pinky color is nice too.

 

Maybelline 24 hour Color Tattoo cream eye shadow in Barely Branded - I love this shadow for a million reasons ! It's a great color to use as a highlight, or sometimes when I'm in a hurry I just swipe it across my lids and  it looks nice alone but I almost always use it as an eye shadow primer. It rocks! It give better staying power than my elf or urban decay eye shadow primer and it really makes the colors pop!

 

 

 

 

Sephora Clearance Haul

My early Birthday present to me has arrived ! Yayy for Clearance going on during my Birthday month!

This is a first look of my box of goodies!

 

Top: Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box ($10) & travel size eyeshadow primer potion  

Bottom: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Ammo palette ($12)

\

Since its my birthday month (Sept28) they had the option to add on a Birthday Gift it was either this Benefit set (they're real mascara & Watts Up highlighter) & I think the other option was bodywash. Umm I went with the Benefit sample set.

 

 

 

These were my free samples.

I choose 2 MakeUp Forever powder foundations in medium & light. Marc Jacobs gel foundation & concealer and they added in Marc Jacobs Dot fragrance sample (Which I Love better than Honey)

 

Deluxe Shadow Box

 

From Top to Bottom : Fishnet, Honey, Ransom, Graffiti, Zero, Peace, Shag, Scratch, & Underground

I Love these colors. Some of them seem to be a bit sheer but still give off beautiful coloring and go on so smooth and velvety! *Also these do not have any type of primer underneath.

 

 

Ammo Palette

Top to Bottom Left Column : Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call, Chopper

Top to Bottom Right Column : Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter, & Sin

 

I think these shadows are thicker & aren't as thin as the ones in the other palette. Before applying they looking like they have chunks of glitter in them but nothing too glittery and Hannah Montana like showing up here. I am so obsessed with Maui Wowie & Sin. Also these were not applied over any type of primer.
