OPI Nicki Minaj Haul

I wanted to grab a few of the OPI Nicki Minaj nail polishes.

I love glitter nail polish and I use them often on my accent nails...so I felt that the glitter nail polish would be more useful so  I purchased the full sizes and I`m so glad I did..the colors are so pretty.Although the mini set has a smaller version of the Save me..I did not mind ..since that is my favorite color from the collection. Color wheel swatches from left to right as follows:

Elf Haul

I stopped in my local Target to pick up some elf goodies. Elf is one of my favorite drugstore brand of makeup. Their prices are great and I like the quality of  their products..most of the products that I`ve tried...just keep in mind that... with any brand of makeup high or low end you might come across some items that you might not be to fond of.

I purchased the wet gloss lash & brow clear mascara..I  love this stuff and I use this everyday to groom my eyebrows.My eyebrows stay in place all day long...and for 1 buck you can`t beat that..since I use this product on a daily basis I purchased 5 of these

I wanted to try  the elf high definition powder.The cost of this item is 6 dollars.

I must admit I love my mac makeup remover wipes..but I wanted to give these a try..I have been seeing/hearing great reviews on these wipes... I purchased this pack of 20 wipes for 3 dollars

I love this liquid eyeliner.It has great staying power..lasts all day on my eyes.. and the formula is gentle as well. I use the black everyday..so i wanted to try a few colors and of course i had to get a backup of the black, The colors are as follows from left to right:
-Plum
-Teal
-Copper(chunky glitter)
-Black
**Cost:1 dollar

My attempt to swatch the colors..lol... not the best swatches. ..but just wanted you to have a general idea of the colors.For skintone reference..I do not wear foundation..however I do wear Mac`s NW45 concealer and Mac Mineralize skinfinish in Deep Dark. The colors are as follows from top to bottom:

-Black
-Copper
-Teal
-Plum

I saw these  oil blotting sheets and had to try them..The multipack  includes three different kinds of  oil blotting sheets as follows from top to bottom:
-Green Tea Rejuvenating
-Tea Tree Clarifying
-Aloe Soothing
Each pack contains 50 sheets..which is great for the price of three bucks ..you get a total of 150 sheets..Also i picked up the regular oil blotting sheets for 1 dollar which also contain 50 sheets.

I have only tried the black waterproof eyeliner pen.Since i have been loving teals and purples I wanted to give these a try. My only gripe is that these eyeliner pens dry out so fast. I have stored them standing up and they still  dry out fast..These were  1 dollar a piece...colors from left to right:
-Teal
-Plum
-Purple

The colors..from top to bottom as follows:
-Teal
-Plum
-Purple

Also picked up the Lengthening & Defining Mascara, Super Glossy Gloss Lip Shine in the color Angel, and an eye crease brush..all 1 dollar a piece

Last but not least..I grabbed a few of the eyelid primers..Colors are as follows from left to right:
-Champagne
-Sheer
-Pearl

As strange as this may sound..I love these better than my Urban Decay Primer Potion ..goes to show that just because you pay a higher price does not mean it`s a better product.

They enclosed a free mineral eyeshadow sample in the color Callista.


The brushes are very soft .. and worth the price imo...I only had one issue and that`s the smell. I had to let the brush case air out as it had a heavy chemical smell to it. Other than that I am pleased with my purchase.

Walgreens.com Haul

I was in search of  a good deal on some hair products so I decided to check  the Walgreens website. I love the fact that if you spend 25 dollars the shipping is free. My package took about a week to arrive.

I had been reading /hearing so many good reviews for these Organix products..so I wanted to try them . I got these for a great price... 7.99 is the regular price ..however I got them on sale for 5 dollars a piece.I also ordered a set of  rollers so I could receive free shipping. The rollers were smaller than I expected so I returned them to the store for a refund .

While in the store I wanted to pick up another jar of Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. This is staple product for me.. it makes my hair really soft.

Drugstore.com Haul

I decided to place an order on drugstore.com.They have great prices and free shipping on orders 25 dollars or more. My shipment arrived in approx 4 days.

I needed another jar of coconut oil..my hair loves this stuff. I searched online for this brand ..and this is the lowest price that I came across..other sites had this coconut oil for as much as 20 bucks. This 16 jar cost me 8 dollars.

Of course I had to take a look  in the makeup section of the site..I found a few wet n wild lipsticks that I had been searching for..and the eos balms that I needed to complete my collection. Much to my surprise they carried the limited edition set that I had been wanting but refused to pay those crazy ebay prices for it. The eos lip balms are by far my favorite..they are so moisturizing and my lips are always so soft. Names and prices are as follows.

-Eos Honeysuckle Honeydew (green tube) 2.49
-Eos Sweet Mint (blue tube) 2.49
