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!

 

40% Off @ CVS Haul

CVS Drugstores have Wet-N-Wild, NYColor & Physicians Formula whole entire line on sale for 40% Off this week, I was pretty excited because usually its not that much. & it was the entire line, not excluding certain items so even the newest fall collections are eligible! And the 99 cent items were ringing up 40% off! So this is what I've picked up so far...I may go back..! Also always be sure to check for coupons when you come in. They have the machine up front and now you don't have to have your card you can just type in your phone number and it prints right out, I had $5 worth of CVS Bucks I didn't even know about and I applied them to my purchase so that was exciting ! This current sale runs until Saturday then Sunday it all changes again! So hurry hurry and let me know what deals you find!

Standing in line with my finds & my coupons!

I ended up with 2 WNW products & 2 NYColor products that were all 40% Off and I've been wanting to try the Maybelline Fit foundation stick so even though it wasn't on any type of sale whatsoever I still bought it, hey I had extra $5 off w/ my CVS bucks.

 

I already am in love w/ WNW eye shadows and I love neutrals so here we go.

Spotted at CVS 7-27-13

I've seen on a few blogs that some CVS were carrying E.L.F. nail polishes and I was jealous because my CVS did not and umm since when does CVS sell ELF? Because that would save me a lot of $$$ in shipping cost ! But anywho my CVS did not carry the ELF brand until recently because I just came across it today and it appears someone beat me to it and bought quiet a few colors! My store has this in an awful place. On a bottom shelf facing a wall. So it could have possibly been there longer and I've just never noticed it because its basically hidden. Anywho....I found it !

And also at CVS I spotted this nice little KK display. I love the Kardashian girls so I was happy to see this. I didn't buy anything. I thought I would go online and read a few reviews on the products but I know the first thing I want to buy is the face primer in the sparkly gold bottle. The bottle is beautiful but maybe the product is good too . If anyone has tried the Kardashian girls beauty products let me know ! I am dying to try them !! But the display included face primer, eye lashes, nail polishes, lip glosses, lip liners, mascaras and a few others.

Drugstore Mascara Review 6-6-13

My favorite product of all time is Mascara ! So I thought I'd do a mini mascara review on a few that I've been using the past few months, all of these are drugstore mascaras so you guys should be able to find them pretty easy! I never use just one mascara at a time I combine them up to 4 at a time usually, which I'm trying to make a list of all my combinations to share with you guys !

 

 

 

Big Bold mascara - NYC $4.47 @ Wal-mart

The brush on this mascara is way bigger than I thought so its good for top lashes but I wouldn't recommend it for bottom lashes its too messy for that. The actual mascara is Ok. Its not spectacular and I probably won't be buying it again.

 

 



Baby Got High Definition - Kleancolors $1.99 @ Beauty Max

I've only used this a few times since I bought it on Tuesday and so far so good ! I like the size of brush and how clean the mascara goes on! I can't wait to try the other mascaras from Kleancolors !

 

 

Rimmel ScandalEyes $7.00

I was so excited to buy this because I always have really good luck with Rimmel products & I heard that this is the stuff for long full eye lashes ! Well I haven't had that much luck with it . I've been layering it with a few different mascaras to get the look I want and its working out but I was really hoping that it was going to be the only one I had to use but not really. They have a few varieties of this one and I'm sure I'll try it because I'm very curious to see (:

 

 

 

Max Bold Curves - Rimmel $7 @ Walgreens

I LOVE this mascara ! LOVE LOVE. This is one of the only ones I can wear alone and still love the way my lashes look. But I do use it as a base for most of my combinations . Also I like to use this with false lashes to combine my real lashes with the false ones for a seamless look!

 

 Falsies volume express mascara -Maybelline $6 @ Drugstores

I really am a fan of this. I use it almost everyday I will be purchasing it again !! I love the curve in the brush and it never goes on clumpy ! Its easy to apply to bottom lashes too!

Sky Rise lengthening mascara - NYC - $2 @ Walmart

This mascara surprised me. Its another that I use almost everyday and for $2 it does its job! I love using this on my top side lashes and bottom lashes, any lash that's hard to reach this mascara brush can do it and its not messy at all !  I will be buying another tube of this !

CVS beauty haul 6-2-13

I went into CVS today to get make-up, I'm usually a Walgreens girl but I had a beauty coupon & body wash coupon plus CVS carries Milani make up and my friend Brooke just bought Milani baked blush and she loves it so I had to try it myself ! Also if you get to CVS on the right day you will notice beauty products with neon pink stickers (50% off!) or lime green stickers (75% off!!!!) I've gotten $10.00 lip gloss for under $2 before !!! So check frequently and stock up when you find them !

 

                                                     This is my little haul from last night !

• Tone bodywash in Mango Splash
• Almay 2 in 1 concealer stick & blemish gel
• Milani crystal gloss in Raspberry Icing
• 2 Revlon lip glosses in Pink Pop & Peach Petal
• Wet N Wild lip color in Dollhouse Pink ( Mac Dupe for Pink Friday) I bought 2 !
• Milani Baked Blush in Berry Amore

The only product I've used before is the WNW lip color and I love it . I am really excited to add the new finds into my beauty routine the next couple of weeks so that I can give you guys a review! Leave me a comment and let me know if you have used any of these products before and how they worked for you ! Or let me know what you find with a clearance sticker on it from your CVS !
