Oh Mail! Oh my!

So today in the mail I received the Target Style goodie bag that they were giving away on their Facebook fan page.
Damn USPS seriously!  The box was beat up a bit.  The first thing I see when I open up the box, is this brightly colored cosmetic bag.
Actually love the color combo on it.  The brand is London Soho.  When I opened the bag, I noticed something leaked a bit.  Wasn't a huge mess, just on the bottle of one of the products.  Easy clean up.
I noticed a bottle fell after I uploaded the pictures to the PC.  Was too lazy to take another one.  So sorry about that!
  • London Soho cosmetic bag
  • L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer sample
  • Pantene Color Shampoo travel size
  • Neutrogena Visibly Bright Facial Cleanser travel size
  • Nivea Extended Moisture Daily Lotion travel size (the bottle that fell over)
  • Simple Sensitive Skin Experts Cleansing Facial Wipes travel size
  • A booklet of Target coupons for some beauty products
Thank you Tarje for giving out the sample goodie bags!

Did you get one?


Uh-oh! FiS moment!

I was suppose to be on a total "no-buy cosmetics" goal, but with getting supplies for work, I find it difficult to avoid.  Not to mention some of these sales that have been going on!
So here is what I picked up over the weekend!
The Sedona Lace samples came in last week, but I never got around to posting about it.  Just been so busy with so many things going on.  It included three pans of eyeshadow from their most popular palettes, and a travel brush of their Vortex Synthetic Blender.  I haven't opened up the pans yet.  As for the brush it's so cute and small!  The bristles are super soft!  Will definitely will have this in my stash when I go on travel.
Headed to Ulta.  Picked up two of their Salon Nail Lacquer in Jaded, and Maine Attraction, which is currently going as 2 for $4.  I only have one nail polish from Ulta, so I had to try more, before I pick up some for a care package to a good friend.  I also picked up Maybelline's Dream Matte Powder, in light and medium shade BOGO1/2.  So basically my trip to Ulta I spent only $12 sum since I also had the $3.50 off coupon.  Not bad at all!
Went to K-mart and noticed they had BOGO1/2 on Wet 'n' Wild products, and noticed they had the shades I was looking for the Megalast Lip Color.  Honestly if you have not tried these yet, I suggest you pick one up!  They are actually my favorite items from them.  They were actually $2.99 a piece for the lipsticks.  I picked the Coral-ine, and Purty Persimmon.
My next pick up of items, was from Walgreens.  They are currently having 50% off ALL Rimmel items.  How awesome is that?  And not to mention here are three coupons for you to print out.  Make sure your Walgreens does accept these.

You are able to print them out several times.  I didn't grab that much today, since I had forgotten my list of items that I need for the shoot.  The sale is well wicked!  The foundations were about $2 sum a piece at the 50% rate already, minus $1 from the coupon!  So I spent $3.74 + tax for both of them.  LOVE SAVING!  Oh they were the Match Perfection, and Clean Finish Foundation.

What did you pick up over the weekend?  Do you plan on heading out to Walgreens now for the sale?

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, and have a great week.  Happy Monday gorgeous!

Nails done? OH YEAH! Check!

So I decided to try a different color combo with the acid  grunge nails (tutorial), and used the colors that inspired me from a shirt I saw in Target.  The way it came out reminded me of wall paint peeling off an abandoned house.

  • Milani High Speed Fast Dry Nail Lacquer - Black Swift
  • China Glaze - Secret Perwinkle
  • Sinful Colors - Fig
  • Milani High Speed Fast Dry Nail Lacquer - White on the Spot
  • Milani Nail Lacquer - Orchidia
  • Sinful Colors - Winterberry
  • Sinful Colors - Island Coral
  • China Glaze Fast Forward for top coat
So there you have it!  Have you tried doing those nails yet?  If you have shoot me a link!

Review: Wet 'n' Wild Megalast Lip Color Wine Room, Cherry Bomb, Mauve Outta Here, Spiked with Rum, Smokin' Hot Pink, & Mocha-licious

Recently Rite-Aid was having a sale on all Wet 'n' Wild products for 40% off.  I heard some good things about their Megalast Lip Color lipsticks before, so figured I should finally pick some up.  Especially since I am getting back into lippie items.  Yay! 
At first I had only picked up one, cause I wasn't sure if I would like how it felt upon my lips.  Once I got home, and tried it on.  WIN!  I loved it! 
So of course I ended up picking five more shades from them, since they didn't carry the other shades I had wanted.  Which is fine, I'll end up getting the other colors I wanted from WnW eventually.

Uh-oh! FiS moment!

Wait wait...it wasn't really an FiS.  More of I was buying items for work, and not to mention some gifts.  Meh FiS or not, it's a haul so HA!
I went to Sephora, and was only suppose to pick up one thing, which was the travel size for the Urban Decay All Nighter Spray.  Doesn't work seriously!  I always end up picking up something else!  So I walked around a bit, and decided to grab Sephora's Daily Makeup Brush Cleaner, and their pencil sharpener since I needed a new one.  I then spotted sponge tip shadow brushes on their sale items section for $1!  Grabbed up two of those.  The canister pots are samples I had asked for.  The left contains Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, and the right is Makeup Forever's HD Elixir Primer.
If you didn't know you could do that, well you can!  You could ask for a sample of foundation, wash, primer, etc. to take home and try it.  I normally don't ask, but I needed to check some other primers out.
See that black bag in the back?  That's where my items were put in!  It looks super sleek, and I was actually shocked.  I never received a bag like that from them before.  Have you?

So the next haul in was a drugstore run.
Walgreens:
  • Sinful Colors Nail Polish was going for $0.99 a piece!  So I picked up four at the moment since there wasn't really any colors I wanted.  One is for me, and the other three are for my best friend Leslie.
Here's a close up of the polish I grabbed up.  From Left to right:
  • Island Coral < a peach coral shade which is the one I got for me
  • Pink < one of my favorite neon pink polishes thought it would be fun to add to her collection :)
  • Pink Forever < I think it's one of their new shades
  • GoGo Girl < a nice red shade polish
Rite-Aid:
  • Wet 'n' Wild was going for 40% off the whole cosmetic, and nail polish line.   So I grabbed up two of their eyeliners a Mink Brown, and Black to use for the film mess.  One of their Megalast Lipcolor in the shade Mauve Outta Here.  I ended up realizing I should of picked up more of those lipsticks!
So there you have it my little spree.

What did you pick up over the weekend?

Boo!

I have been a busy girl!  So this was a sample I sent to my brother, who is currently working on a film.  It's my take on a possessed girl.  Nothing but some eyeshadow, foundation, and eyeliners did the trick.
  • Jordana EasyLiner Blue Devine
  • Jordana EasyLiner Purple Fusion
  • Jordana Mini Eyeliner Brown
  • theBalm Nude'tude Palette
  • Sedona Lace 120 Pro Palette First Edition
  • BH Cosmetics 10 Color Palette Professional Camouflage Concealer
  • L'Oreal True Match Foundation
Seriously quick and easy, of what direction I am aiming at.  Oh and some help from Photoshop to make it more wicked!

L.o.t.D. simple does it neutrally!

Went for a real simple neutral look the other day, since I just got theBalm's Nude'tude I had to use it!
