Wet N Wild Haul

I stopped at my local Walgreens to get a few wet n wild items that were on sale for 99 cents. I grabbed a few  megalast nail polishes..the colors are from left to right as follows:

-Undercover
-Club Havana
-Through The Grapevine
-Private Viewing
-Bite The Bullet

-I also purchased a few lipsticks..these were 99 cents as well at walgreens..however I purchased one from CVS for 49 cents due to using a few coupons..99cents is still a good deal considering that the normal price for these range from 1.99-2.99 .The colors are from left to right as follows:

-Spotlight Red.....some claim that this lipstick is s dupe for Mac`s Ruby Woo
-Mauve Outta Here
-Don`t Blink Pink.

I also stopped by CVS to grab a few items. I have been hearing great things about the wet n wild coloricon  brow and eyeliner pencil in dark brown for filling in eyebrows. I wanted to try this first before spending 15 dollars on Mac`s spiked eyebrow pencil.I also grabbed a blush in Mellow Wine.

The Body Needs Haul

I ordered a few items from The Body Needs. They were having a 25% off of the mac lipstick samples and 20% off some some of the mac pigment samples. I wanted to try a few of the mac lipstick samples just to see if I would like the colors before purchasing a full size lipstick for 14.50.I love mac lipsticks but I must admit I have gone to the mac counter or made an order online .. tried the color on my lips and just did not like how it looked ..so this was the perfect opportunity  for me to try a few colors that I have been wanting to try. I also ordered 2 mac pigment samples. The colors are from left to right as follows.

*Lipstick Samples*
-Pink Nouveau  (satin) (permanent)
-Girl About Town (amplified creme) (permanent )
-Goes And Goes (pro longwear lipcreme) (permanent)
-Asian Flower( sheen supreme) (permanent)
-Up The Amp (amplified creme) (permanent)

*Pigment Samples*
-Violet
-Blue Brown

Mac Haul

Mac had free second day shipping..so I placed a small order for a few staple items that I needed.

-Brush Cleaner (13.00) I love this brush cleaner..it cleans my brushes and makes them really soft. I have tried a number of brush cleaners..some have been good and some bad..but I always come back to good ole faithful.

-Fix+ (10.00) I grabbed this 1 fl oz of fix +  for my makeup bag.The larger one is a pain for me to travel with so I wanted a smaller size for convenience purposes.

-Mineralize skinfinish natural in Dark Deep (29.00)  I do not wear foundation ... so this a great alternative for me . I love this skinfinish but If you are looking for something with coverage..this might not be for you...for me it is just a finishing powder for a matte look or dewy look if I spray some fix + after application.

-Duo Image Compact Mirror( 11.00) This mirror is travel friendly and I also use it everyday  to do my eyebrows. I love the fact that it is doubled sided..one regular side and the other side is  magnified.

-Viva Glam Nicki Lipstick (14.50)  I saw this color and fell in love.I have Pink Friday and I have yet to use it.I figured that this color would suit my skintone better than the Pink Friday.The great thing about Mac Viva Glam lipsticks are that  all of the proceeds goes to Mac`s aids fund to help those living with hiv/aids.

A closer look at the Viva Glam Nicki..this color is beautiful.

Z Palette

I searched ebay and found this zebra Z palette for 13 bucks..plus 4 dollars for shipping. It arrived within a few days and  I must say that...I love this palette...much to my surprise it`s very sturdy..not at all flimsy like I thought it would be.I love my mac palettes..however I love the fact that with the z palette you can see the eyeshadow/blush colors without having to play the guessing game..lol. The other great thing about this palette is that it is already magnetized.

Drugstore Haul

I purchased  this beauty from Target.This is the Sonia Kashuk limited edition all out glam brush set that includes 6 brushes and a beautiful case that could be used for a night out in my opinion . I found this in the clearance section for 12.48..what a great price since the original retail price of this is 24.99. The brushes are from left to right as follows:

-domed powder/blusher brush
-small duo-fiber brush
-synthetic pointed foundation/concealer brush
-eyeshadow brush
-pointed eyeliner brush
-angled crease brush

I also purchased my first Essie polish in play date ..I must say.. this is by far the prettiest lavender shade I have ever seen in nail polish form and I could not find any colors in my collection that would dupe this color.

I gave into the hype and decided to give Maybelline color tattoos a try and since Ulta had these on sale buy 2 get 1 free..I thought  this would be a great time to give them a try. I purchased 2 @ 6.99 a piece and got one for free . I also had a coupon for 3.50 off..so I got 3 of these for 10 bucks and some change..The one color that I really wanted ..they were out of stock so I headed to Walmart to purchase the other must have color  for 5.94.. The colors are from left to right as follows:

-Edgy Emerald
-Painted Purple
-Bad To The Bronze
-Tenacious Teal

I went into my local big lots to look around and did not  really see anything of interest..however i did purchase an eyeshadow brush for 1.50. This brush is super soft.

CVS had a bogo sale on their Essence of Beauty makeup brushes..so I purchased a  crease brush duo set and got the angled blush brush for free..The retail price for these brushes are 5.49 a piece..but I had a 4 dollar extra care buck so I applied it to the total and paid a dollar and some change..Great deal on these brushes.
