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!

10 under $10

I've seen a few 10 under $10 video vlogs on YouTube so I thought I would do my own blog version. Basically these are 10 beauty & skin products that I have been using lately and they are all $10 or under . It was kinda hard to narrow it down and pick 10 products that are under $10 that I would recommend to someone and that I would buy again but heres my list and its in no particular order. Enjoy (:

                          1- Juice Organics Pomwash exfoliating facial foam $9.99 for a 5oz bottle.
This is an organic product made by Juice Beauty. It smells amazing and leaves my face so clean and blemish free. I had never heard of this brand and randomly picked it up to try and now I can't wait to try more of their products !!

2 - Wet N Wild Coloricon bronzer $3.99 (I use Ticket to Brazil)

I use this for an all over bronzer or to contour. It stays all day & night without having to reapply and its matte so no sparkly fake looking tan...and also no orangish color just beautiful bronze skin. I will keep using this until they no longer make it because why would I spend $20+ on "name brand" bronzers when this stuff is perfectly amazing.

 

3- Maybelline Cover Stick in corrective Yellow - $6.49

This is thick enough to cover my under eye circles and it blends super easy. I wish I could find it with the wand applicator instead of this lipstick look because I break it and smoosh it in the top of the lid no matter how hard I try not too :( but I will continue to use it because it works wonders and stays put and really the stick version isn't horrible.

 

4 - Hard Candy's Fox in a Box blush - Spicy & Sweet - $6

I've said this before that this is the perfect blush. It has 4 shades the can be used alone or swirled together. I preferred swirled (: and it looks good on any skin tone.

 

5 -  L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes mascara in carbon black - $7

I've used this mascara alone all week and LOVED the look it gave me without having to layer it with other mascaras . YAYY. It doesn't flake off or get smudgy or clumpy. Can you say Keeper?

 

 

6 - E.L.F. 3 in 1 Mascara (Length, Define & Volumize) -$3.99

Since mascara is my fave product of course I have two in my 10U10! I love the brush on this mascara the little ball on the end makes it so easy to get those hard to reach corner lashes and the mascara is pretty great itself . No clumpy flakey mascara here !

 

7 - Hawaiian Tropic After Sun moisturizer in Lime Coolada - $6.39

 It has soothing aloe and moisturizing shea & cocoa butter so it keeps my skin smooth after a day in the sun and the summery scent smells amazing.

 

 

8 - NYX Matte Finish setting spray - $7.99

A light mist over my make up keeps my whole face in place for the day. Seriously. I wear this stuff to everyday and I have a flawless face all day. I also wear this while on the boat fishing out in the sun & water and my make up still stays and still looks fabulous.

 

 

 

9 - Maybelline Baby Lips moisturizing lip balm - $3.29 each

moisturizing tinted lip balm with spf 20. perfect for summer. fun bright colors in a tinted form that make your pout perfectly soft & kissable. they smell yummy too! I keep one in each bag and beach bag so I always have one on hand.

 

 

 

10- Huggies Wipes, Cucumber & Green Tea - 64 count - $2.99

Before I wash my face with my Pomwash or when I'm being lazy and don't feel like properly taking my make up off with my face wash I use baby wipes to remove my make up. They are cheaper than "make up remover wipes" aka the SAME thing you get wayyy more for your money going this route .

 

Hope you guys enjoyed my 10 under 10 and maybe this will help you guys out !

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 !

Wet - N- Wild Review

I'm not sure if anyone has used the Wet N Wild brand lately but can I say wowww have they improved since the days of middle school . They even have a line with Fergie . So I had been hearing all this good feedback so I hit up my local Walgreens and bought a little of everything...I've been using these products for about a month & a half and I use almost all of them everyday and for the amazing low prices they are great products that are highly pigmented and long lasting ! So here goes....

Let's start with mascara since its my favorite make-up product of all time !

 

 

\

 

( C137 )

 

This is actually a green tube but I think the light made it look yellow for some reason but the Mega Protein mascara is at Walgreens for $1.99 and I am obsessed with it. I use this mascara everyday and I will be buying more of it. I always use 3-4 mascaras to get the look I want and this is the mascara I start with every time.

 

 

 

( C143 )

 

 

I use this one a lot also. Its waterproof so I use it a lot when we go out on the boat or to the pool. The wand is smaller than I thought it was going to be but I ended up liking it better than I thought I would and its great for those small areas that the bigger brush can't go. The Mega Length is $2.99 at Walgreens.

                                     

(C138 )

Mega Volume is right ! A few coats of this and my lashes are full and beautiful and ready for a long day of work without worrying about my lashes smudging or loosing volume ! I also mix this with my WNW mega length to have lashes that are long & voluminous !

 

 

( 832E Heather Silk )

 

I love this blush and its super pigmented ! I mix this with a deeper wine colored blush and I just tap my brush into this WNW Heather Silk color which is a little more pink than the picture shows. But it really doesn't take a lot of this to go a long way. $1.99 @ Walgreens

 

 

( 380B Walking on Eggshells)

 

So WNW has tons of these 3 eye shadow palettes and they are $1.99 and as you can see they have an eyelid color, crease and brow bone color...um these babies are amazing . I use this particular one probably 95% of the time. These colors go with everything. They are super neutral and I really love a neutral eye but WNW offers a few neutral palettes like this one and others that are full of color.

I use the ColorIcon bronzer in 739 Ticket to Brazil its the middle tone of the three that they offer its just a basic tan bronzer its not the kind that has 5 different shades of browns and tans just the one solid shade and its a huge compact I feel like this will last me the summer because you get a ton of it for about $3.99 and a little goes a long way. Its great for an all over sun kissed bronze look or great for contouring your face with ! Very blendable and stays put ! & also its SPF 15

 

 

WNW lipcolors are some of my favorite. They have a wide range of colors, most of which are $1.99, long lasting colors, I've been able to layer most of these and make myself a custom color to get the look I'm looking for, most are SPF 15 and I've never had any of them dry out my lips

 

Nouveau Pink 511B - Its a hot pink color !

It's a Girl 371S - A bright light pink if that makes sense lol .

Salsa Lessons 369S - a bright orangey-red coral color

Pink Champagne 373S - a light nude/pink color that has shimmer

Dollhouse Pink 967 - A color so pink it has purple undertones like a Barbie pink.

 

Nouveau Pink, It's a Girl, Salsa lessons, & Dollhouse Pink (Pink Champagne not shown)

This is one swipe ! Look how pigmented they are !!!
