Mini CVS Haul

CVS Mini Haul

Hi! So the other day I went shopping at CVS. Even though I only bought a few things, I wanted to show you guys what I bought. 

 

First, I got the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Body Wash. This is supposed to help reduce body acne and has exfoliating beads in it. I also bought the Salon Grafix Invisible Dry Shampoo. I have been looking for a dry shampoo that is clear for a long time and was super excited to find this. 

Next, I bought the Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara and the Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in the shade 40 pink plum. This is a volumizing mascara and a cream blush. I have been looking at both of these products for a long time. 

Lastly, I bought 2 NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in the shades 625 sparkle nude (a shimmery copper-pink [top color]) and 630 cashmere (a shimmery gold [bottom color]).

That is all I bought yesterday at CVS. Hope you enjoyed, thanks.

Black Friday Haul- 2014

Black Friday Haul- Forever 21, Hollister, Victorias Secret...

This year I went shopping on Black Friday in the afternoon. I did not get a ton, but I thought I would just share what I bought this year. 

Urban Outfitters: I got this floral, colorful, vintage-like phone case, This is a hard snap back case with a white background.




 











Forever 21- I bought the most at Forever 21. I got 5 pairs of flat heart earrings that are just different colors (gold, silver, bronze, etc.). A silver ring that has an open heart in the middle. Also, I got a silver necklace that has a star pennant with jewels in the center.

I also got a package of 6 charcoal nose strips at Forever 21. 















The last thing I bought at Forever 21 is this oversized black sweater that just has some holes on the chest.

















Hollister- I got a pair of navy sweatpants that just say Hollister on the side. 

 Victorias Secret- I bought the vanilla lace body wash (this smells like vanilla goodness and this is one of my favorite scents in the world). I also got the coconut passion lotion (this smells like a mix of coconut and vanilla). Can you tell I like vanilla yet?  

Hot Topic- This is the last thing I bought on Friday. This is just an Imagine Dragons band tee (yes this shirt is big, I really wanted this shirt but they only had a large).

I hope you enjoyed this post and if you like haul posts let me know so I can do more. This is all that I got Black Friday shopping this year.

Ipsy November 2014- Review

Hi! Today I have a review for the Ipsy subscription service bag. This is a monthly beauty box subscription that costs $10 per month. Each month you receive 4-5 full size or deluxe sized products.  

1) Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil- This is an olive shimmery eyeliner. I typically do not wear eyeliner just cause it is an extra step that I am not very good at. But this is smooth and pigmented pretty good.
Price: $17

2) J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint- This is a lip paint (or tar) and IS EXTREMELY PIGMENTED. The bottle is a squeeze bottle so I guess you either use a brush or your finger. The color is a bright pinky red and I don't think I will really use this color because I normally just use a chapstick and maybe a lipgloss. 

Price: $5

3)  It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye- This product is a concealer and it matches my skin almost perfectly. It is supposed to be a full coverage concealer, which I really like cause I am not a big fan of foundation. The quality feels good and like it will cover really good. 

Price: $24

4) SeaRx Skincare- This is a moisturizer. I received 2 of these, but 1 of them exploded in the bag. I personally do my like getting skincare samples. I have a set skincare routine that works for me. 

Price: $32

5) Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan of Volume Shine Hairspray- This is a travel size hairspry. I like getting these travel hairsprays cause they are useful and I travel a lot. 

Price: $8

 

Overall I am excited for the concealer and eyeliner. The hairspray is ok. I do not like the moisturizer and the lip tar is to pigmented. Ipsy this month was pretty good. Below is a swatch of the eyeliner and lip tar.

Grab or Pass

It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product 

Hi! Today I have the It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product. This is a leave in hair conditioner. It makes your hair smell good, feel super soft, and untangles any and all knots in your hair. You spray this on wet hair, but can also do dry hair. It's a 10 is a spray conditioner. I use this sometimes instead of conditioner, after I swim, or if my hair is really tangled. This is a little pricey for a hair product ($18) but it is worth every penny. 

PRICE- $18

Overall, I would grab this. This is one of my holy grail items and it goes with me every time I travel. I have never found a tangle that is to bad for this product. I have repurchased this multiple times and would recommend it to everyone with long hair.

Review

Acure Line Eraser Eye Cream

Hi!  Today I have a review on the acure line eraser eye cream. I use this eye cream every night because I have dry skin around my eyes.

This is an oily cream, so I only use it at night. It is an eye cream so I only use a little bit each night. This product costs $20.  

I really like this eye cream. I was getting really bad dry patches on my eyelid. Why? I don't know. But this product has almost gotten rid of them. The only thing is that this product is really oily and I have heard it can mess up eyeliner on your lower lash line the next day. I would say that even with all the oil, this product is worth it because it actually gets rid of dry, flaky skin. 

With the colder months coming I feel like this will be a must have for me and my dry skin. All in all, I would repurchase this product and recommend it to a friend.

First Impression

Maybelline Illegal Lengths Mascara

Hi! So today I have my first impression of the Maybelline illegal lengths mascara. This mascara is supposed to lengthen your lashes by 4mm. The price is $9. The packaging of the bottle feels a little cheap and the brush is very long and spidery.

This mascara does lengthen your eyelashes as you can see in the photo above. I really like how this mascara looks my bottom eyelashes because it separates them and gives them a little length and definition and is a pretty small brush. I personally like a lot of mascara on my top lashes and a little on my bottom lashes. The mascara really does lengthen my eyelashes a lot. I feel like my lashes are longer than some mascaras make them. My eyelashes got lots of length, a little definition, but not really any volume. This is a mascara that would work really good as a base to give length, and then put on a volumizing mascara. 

I feel like I could put multiple coats of this mascara on before it would get clumpy. I personally would recommend this mascara to a friend if they were looking for mostly length. I am excited to start using this mascara, especially to layer mascaras.
