Picture heavy

Hello lovelies,

It's been a while since I posted on my blog. I am so sorry for the lack of post again. I will get back to putting out some post for you and getting to all the post I promise.
So I have been purchasing some goodies from drugstore to MAC Venomous Villains to Sephora
Let's get right into it.



Drugstore
This isn't my full drugstore haul has I had purchase some Wet N Wild cosmetics when Kmart had a week where it was BOGOF. Let's just say I didn't hold back. But that will be another post at another time. Anyways I want to share with you some new products from Wet N Wild but under the Fantasy Makers label. These specific label products always come out when it's near to Halloween. Heres are pictures of the items and swatches.

MAC Venomous Villains


From the MAC VV collection I had my eyes on 2 things: Toxic Tale l/s & The Dark Magic mineralized e/s. I will be going back for Bite of An Apple blush. I already own Violetta l/s so I didn't need it from the collection. The red l/s and the dark burgundy l/s was dupeable from my stash so I didn't get them. The other eyeshadows didn't capture my attention or wooed me.







MAC Toxic Tale l/s & Dark Magic mes


L-R: NYX Femme l/s, MAC Toxic Tale l/s & WnW Coraline l/s

Here we Go Again: A Sale U Say!!

Hello lovelies,


I am here again to hit you all with a mini news. Well I have been reading Nouveau Cheap blog and saw her post about CVS having a 75% off sale again. You know me, I had to get there asap, so I went there with some knowledge of what to look, but I let the scanner be my friend because my CVS didn't have the signs posted up about the sale in the makeup aisle.

I stocked up my hand cart and then off to the scanner, scanning like a crazy girl. Well lovelies, L'oreal HIP have their eye crayon for $2.79, then L'oreal HIP pigments (only specific colors though). Also NYC liquid liner was down to $.49 but both my CVS was out of stock (sucks), as I really wanted a backup. Specific Rimmel lipsticks were below $2, L'Oreal Infallible products etc etc....

So I did swatches of the crayons and pigments I have purchased recently from the sale and before on Ebay.
Check out my swatches also of the Nicka K eyeshadows

L-R: HIP Crayons: Perfectionist (972), Meticulous (842), Attentive (812), Authentic (382), Unmistakable (142), Intricate (282)



TOP L-R: Pigments: Intrepid (914), Striking (228), Beckoning (244), Restless (918), Visionary (924),
Rebel (314)
(all pigment are swatched over HIP Crayon as base)

BOTTOM L-R: Nicka K HD eyeshadows
(swatched over MAC pp)



Nicka K HD eyeshadows



CVS mini purchases
Crayons: Intricate & Authentic , Pigments: Striving & Beckoning

Hope this post helps if anyone is interested in their purchases of these products.

Feb/ March Collective Haul

Picture heavy

Hello lovelies,

I have been collecting more makeup over the past 2 months. I try to catch every BOGO drugstore sale or even search for website with discounts on products, my major go to is always Ebay. Shopping on Ebay you have to just be cautious and always check seller's reviews. So I purchased a couple MAC authentic items from Ebay. Yes there are authentic MAC items sold on Ebay, but you have got to be cautious as I have mentioned before. I got MAC blush in Raizin (been wanting it for like forever) & MAC Embark e/s. Also from Ebay: I got Milani e/s in Classic Beige which is a dupe for MAC Ricepaper that I purchased at a freestanding MAC store along with some lippies.


L-R: MAC Ricepaper & Milani Classic Beige
Dupe found!!!




MAC Embark e/s


Purchase Ben Nye Grand Lumiere palette-- love it!! (swatches coming soon)

L-R: MAC l/s: Pink Nouveau, Up The Amp & Girl About Town & MAC Painterly Paint pot
(Swatch same order)



ELF eyelid primer & WnW makeup remover ( a cheap item but works awesome)



Jordana Fabuliners & Retractable eyeliners

So I didn't like the Wet N Wild Mega-Last l/s when they were just released, however seeing some fellow bloggers post about them I decided to give a second try and of course I love them.
L-R: Jordana l/s: Taupe & Lavender Lady... WnW l/s: 907C, 910D, 909D, 905D, 911D & 913C
Top: WnW l/s: 907C (Mauve Outta), 910D (Red Velvet), 909D (Cora-lina), 905D (Smokin Hot Pink), 911D (Spotlight Red) & 913C (Sand Storm)
Bottom: Jordana matte l/s: Taupe & Lavender Lady



Qianyu 40 Shimmer e/s palette (same as Miss Rose 40 palette)



MAC Raizin blush & Ben Nye Lumiere cream wheel

Also I purchased pump container in set of 2 for my Revlon Colorstay f/d, I realize I apply f/d heavily when I release it on a mixing tray, with it being in a pump container it's so much better and I don't waste my product. I got 2 extra ELF studio powder brushes.


Now note this wasn't all purchased at once, I purchased all these things over time during the last 2-3 mths.

Single e/s, MAC blush, 40 palette - all from Ebay
WnW lippies & makeup remover- BOGO from Kmart
Jordana eye products- Walgreens
Ben Nye palette and wheel - EI.edu
ELF primer & studio brushes- Makeupmasala.com
Jordana l/s- Dollar store


Until next .......Be fabulous!!

Dec/Jan Collective Haul

Hello lovelies,


I'm back. After all that planning, everything turn out wonderful, so I'm back to Blogger, to do what I like. Of course I couldn't turn down some bargains so I have been hauling since December 2009 - January 2010. With the CVS 75% off sale I still was getting goodies from there, I went to a different CVS and found stuff that my regular CVS didn't have in stock. Also I had purchase from Nov. 09, some single shadows and a empty palette from BF-Beauty.com which I am now receiving. So you'll get swatches of that and also Wet N Wild release of some new and improved oldies stuff that I had to try, because I love Wet N Wild cosmetics.


Here we go:

Wet N Wild has improved some of their old items and also their website. Now with the new items in better packaging and with better quality. They have release some eyeshadows quads and with discounted drugstore sales, I had to try them..... OMG.... awesome!!

Eyeshadows= awesome quality and pigmentation, super silky and very sleek new packaging.
Lipstick = no no no, I hate this type; now I know why I didn't purchase any of these mattene types. These mattene are too thick and heavy and they make my lips feel extra dry.

Quad: Lust & Vanity, Lipsticks: don't remember the names, I return them asap!


Swatches of quads and lipsticks above



Milani quad: Wild Violet, WetnWild quads, Milani blush: Sunset Beach , Black Radiance blush: Soft Honey (Faves of the Month) , L'oreal HIP chrome eyeliner: gold color, HIP duo: Spirited (not pictured)


Swatches: HIP duo: Spirited & Milani quad: Wild Violets



Wet N Wild Silky Finish lipsticks (love them!) & Rimmel Lipsticks

***There will be lip swatches of my collection of Wet N Wild lipsticks coming soon.
I didn't purchase these all at once, they were purchased over time from Dec- Jan, and Wet N Wild lipsticks are $0.94-$0.99 a piece. Rimmel was purchased on the CVS 75% off sale.


Now the long awaited BF-Beauty.com haul, that I had to wait almost over 2 mths for. Here are pictures and also swatches.




Swatches in order on the pictures:
1st row: #463 & #464
2nd row: #479, #451, #456 & #448
3rd row: #472, #430, #419 & #420
4th row: #575 & #579 (skin tone colors)

All colors are matte

There will be a review coming soon on these eyeshadows and also FOTD's and EOTD's.


Be fabulous!!
