July & August Empties

This was originally my July empties and I forgot about it so now its my July/August empties...better late than never! Not really any beauty empties these past two months but some bathroom staples.

Venus disposable Spa Breeze razors - Hands down amazing the gel bar around the razor makes it so easy to shave without having to lather up with shaving cream and spend the extra money. Its a one stop shop, I originally bought them for vacation years ago so that I could easily throw them away & not have to carry shaving cream into my already over packed bag and I've just continued to the buy them. You can buy the refills if you have a Venus razor wand but we just buy disposable because its easier to throw them away and adds up to about the same amount in $$ and Josh uses these too. We haven't bought him a mans razor in years lol.

 

Dove Men+Care Body & Face wash - I didn't use this but Josh did and he said it was alright but not to buy it again so there ya go folks its not man approved.

Bath & Body Works - Butterfly Flower shower gel

omggg I am obsessed with this fragrance. I love BBW shower gels but of all the flavors this is my favorite. Unfortunately BBW stopped selling this a while ago and I stocked up on the body wash, lotion and spray in this scent but I'm sadly out of the body wash. I've found it on eBay and at random flea markets (sealed of course) so until I find it again I'll have to do without.

Tone Body wash - Eh we weren't impressed with this so much. I bought it with a coupon and probably won't buy it again unless I have an amazing coupon.

Colgate Total toothpaste - It's not anything special but it does get the job done. So if you like toothpaste that does the job without all of the extra horns & whistles this is the paste for you!

Degree Deodorant - This is my new favorite. The smell is amazing. Keeps me dry in the hot Florida weather were things get sweaty. Josh has even used it & likes it. Shhh don't tell anyone he uses all of these girly products! (: But he approves haha!

NYColor eyeshadow look - Skyrise Steel palette & Big Bold Curl mascara

Last week the wonderful people at NYColor sent me a box of goodies to try & review on my blog. I'm already a NYColor fan but they sent me new items to give a whirl. I haven't had the chance to try them all out yet but I'm getting there...

 

This is my box of goodies! Thank you Danielle @ NYC, she was amazing to work with. Super nice and very helpful !

 

 

Lots of fabulous lip products ! Gloss, Balm & Stains (oh my!)

 

mascaras with curled wands are my favorite !!!

 

Defiantly been wanting to try a new primer, hmm maybe this will be my new holy grail primer!

 

I LOVE eyeshadow palettes that come with colors that compliment each other,  makes for a no brainer application when I'm in a hurry & great for travel.. and I haven't used the sparkling eye dust but I did swatch it and it's super pigmented !!!!!

 

 

Today I posted this photo on Instagram and I did a whole face using a mix of new NYC products and ones I already had (West Side Wine blush is my FAVE) crazy me deleted half the photos on accident :( but I do still have some eye pictures showing off the Big Bold Curl mascara & the Skyrise Steel palette

 

 

I covered my lid in the white "highlight" color then put the gray tone in the crease, layered the black on the outside corner of my lid and lightly brought it in about halfway then mixed the black & gray to make my crease more intense then the white highlight on the brow bone. Added a few layers of the Big Bold Curl mascara onto curled eye lashes and I'm done. I would probably not do this as a day time look again but defiantly for a night out !! The shadows went on easily and blended great , they did not leave fall out all over my face and that's always a plus!

 

 

Mini Make-Up Haul 8-27-13

Any store I EVER go into I always check their beauty aisle for any deals they may have, the Dollar Tree is no exception. Actually its one of my favorite places to pick up great beauty deals for only $1 !!!! If you've never been to a DT you need to go asap ! They most always carry the L.A. Colors brand but other notable brands I've spotted are Bonnebell, E.L.F., L'Oreal, Milani, Covergirl, Sally Hansen, NYColor & Olay. I can't promise yours will have those... it is hit & miss. Sometimes I go and leave with nothing other times I spend more money than I would like to admit in a place where nothing is over a dollar. Besides cosmetics & make up brushes I've also bought nail polish, np remover, make up remover wipes, emery boards, tweezers, cuticle clippers, and so on and so on ! Oh and they have nice candles holders , and other glass dishes and small vases that easily double as brush holders and for only $1 !!!!! So I stopped in today and this is what I bought....

My Mini Haul !

 

L'Oreal blush in Caribbean Coral & bronzy color blush but it will be used as Bronzer for contouring!

They had another color of blush...Flamingo? I didn't get it but I should have.

 

NYColor eye shadow palette in Urban Spice

 

L.A. Colors loose pigment eye shadow in Black Pearl

besides the black I seen white, gold, & a pink. Should have bought those too.

 

E.L.F. Studio contour brush

I've bought tons of E.L.F. brushes from DT but never a Studio Brush. Of all the ones they had today this was the only one I didn't have so I grabbed it.
