Rite Aid L'Oreal 40% off Haul w/swatches

Happy Monday!

What better way to start a new week off than with a haul! This past week Rite Aid had a fabulous 40% off sale and I had a few items that I really wanted to pick up.  I prefer lip crayons as lip products to lipsticks because they usually have a pretty sheer color pay off and that is perfect for me.  The colors in these balms were slightly more bright than the packaging but I think I can make them work, I can already tell you that I enjoy them.  They go on smoothly and I can't tell that they're on my lips when I'm wearing them, I picked up 2 more in Fall shades as well that will be up later this week. I'm undecided on the Miss Manga mascara but I will keep trying it and keep you updated. Enjoy!

Maybelline "Nudes" Palette

Hello Everyone!

I've been on the search for the new Maybelline nude palette for a few weeks now with no luck.  I thought I'd find it for sure at Rite Aid during the recent 40% off all Maybelline sale but I still had no luck.  When a new display at Target caught my eye I knew that it had to be mine and that I would be paying full price.  The palette costs only $9.99 and you get 12 beautiful neutral shadows,  it's simply beautiful and I can see myself getting some great use out of it this Summer.  It has a couple of copper shimmer shades which are my favorite so I know they will be getting the most use.  I'm also giving the Revlon Bold Lacquer mascara a try but I have yet to form an opinion on it so I'll keep you posted. Have you been able to get your hands on this palette & do you love it?  Enjoy the swatches below!

L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara

Hey Guys!

Long time no talk, today I have a review and pictures of the new L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly mascara.  I picked this up at Target for just around $5.99, i'll link the coupons below that I used.  The brush on this mascara is amazingly different, one side is for applying product to the lashes and the other is for separating the lashes and keeping you clump free.  I've enjoyed using this mascara but can't be sure if it's as good as my current favorite: Maybelline Big Eyes Falsies, I rank that one pretty high so it would have to be down right amazing to take it's spot! Enjoy!

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara

I had the chance to try out the brand new not-yet-released Rimmel Scandaleyes retro glam mascara through Influenster.  As I've said before I'm not much of a mascara buff and as long as it coats my lashes black, I'm good.  I enjoyed the shape of the wand and how easily it seemed to build just enough volume to look real and natural.  The formula was on the drier side but I didn't mind because I'm not too picky about formula as long as it does what it says.  Bottom line is this is a good mascara and worth the money, especially if you enjoy the hourglass shaped wand for giving you the volume you want.

Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara Review

Hi Ladies!

Let me start off by saying I'm not a mascara lover, I'm not one of those girls who is obsessed with them.  I really enjoy the difference that mascara coloring gives my lashes but otherwise I'm not really into them.  I've tried tons of them from different brands and spent quite a bit but I just don't see enough of a change in my lashes to spend crazy amounts of money on high end mascaras.  In that case I usually stick to the drugstore brands, especially since the life of any mascara should be 3 months.  Recently I tried a new mascara and really fell in love with the color, way it coated my lashes, & removal ease.  The mascara is the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara, I picked up the darkest shade which was "Blackest Black" and I really must say I have been enjoying it.  I am not a lower lashes coater so I can't say much to that but I really enjoy this mascara and what it does for my lashes as far as volume.  The true test for me is at the end of the night when I remove it and it removes like a dream! This mascara sells for about $9.99 at drugstores and I really think everyone should give it a go! Enjoy!

Revlon nail polishes are on sale for $4.99 this week with $3 ExtraBucks back, which you receive on your receipt as soon as you complete your purchase. Maybelline is Buy 1 Get 1 50% off, which is a great little deal since I wanted to check out 2 new items from their line.  Lastly, but not least Sally Hansen is Spend $12 receive $5 ExtraBucks back & I knew that I was very close to the $5 for every $50 spent on beauty products.

My Stila Haul

Hello friends!

A couple of weeks ago I got the chance to particapate in the Stila 50% off sale, I don't have too many stila products, if any so I jumped at this oportunity. I couldn't decide what I wanted & it took me forever to narrow it down but I finally ordered: "In the Light" eye shadow palette, 2 convertible colors "Gerbera" & "Petunia", & a Kajal Liner "Topaz". I received 3 mini's (2 skincare & a mascara) as well as some foundation samples! I just received my package this week but so far I am loving everything, the eye shadows are incredibly easy to blend & the liner completely knocked my socks off; I was already in love with the convertible color mini that I have in "Poppy" so I knew I couldn't go wrong with those.  I've already had the chance to try the mini mascara & I liked it, but can't say I love it yet since I've only tried it once. Pictures & Swatches below as usual, Enjoy!

It's Friday, how about a two-fer?

Meaning a two-post day, not that I have anything to give away just yet. I just wanted to follow up with a picture for today. The picture is of my lashes with 1 coat of Maybelline One by One, I could've used 2 but to my surprise the product started to clump just the slightest bit & I didn't want to push my luck. I really like the way it helps my lashes look just that little bit longer but still natural so I'll keep this on hand for natural looking lash days. I also have the Instant Age Rewind DCRC under my eyes & I think it does a fantastic job of matching my skin tone & concealing any dark areas, the verdict is still out on whether I am allergic or not.

P&P Friday Edition

In my travels this week I had 7 Maybelline products on my list, (really only 3 because 4 of the items were just different flavors/colors). Rite Aid was having a 40% off sale so I thought it would be the perfect time to pick up those couple of items I've been hearing so much about & wanting to try.  On both(yes, both) of my trips to the store I managed to pick up 4 & 3 items each. On my Wednesday trip I grabbed Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser, Baby Lips in Peach Kiss & Quenched along with my first tube of The Falsies in Blackest Black. On my Thursday trip I picked up One by One mascara & 2 more tubes of Baby Lips (Grape Vine & Peppermint).

I was so excited to try The Falsies but couldn't fathom going to pick it up with naked eyes so this picture is with the Falsies on top of my CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume. I will definitely try it again & post my pics of just the Falsies when I get around to using it alone. I couldn't believe how "falsie-d" my lashes looked & neither could my hubby or friend who both thought they looked extremely dramatic.

Once again with the: not traveling to buy mascara with a naked eye, I was already wearing L'Oreal Voluminous(1 coat) on my lashes. Even after wearing Voluminous all day & adding One by One my lashes looked separated & volumized. I can't wait to try this product by itself(today) so I'll be sure to post pictures so that I can have an accurate account of the look it gives.

On to the Baby Lips, all I can say is that I am in love; from the super cute packaging to the different colors/flavors I just adore them(hints: why I own 4 now). My favorites are the Quenched, which is a sweet, can't put my finger on it smell that is clear and lustrous on my lips. Coming in a close second is: the Peppermint, probably because the holidays are coming up & I'm just in a cheery peppermint mood. Peach Kiss & Grape Vine are awesome as well & have a little hint of the named colors to them, hubby really liked the Grape Vine on me & I love the feeling of hydration with a hint of color since I'm not a big lipstick girl.

L to R: Peach Kiss, Quench, Peppermint, Grape Vine

I paid $3.43 for The Falsies after a $1 Maybelline mascara coupon & the 40% sale. Rite Aid price: $7.39

I paid $1.27 for each Baby Lips with the $1 off Baby Lips coupon, through their Facebook page & after the 40% sale. Rite Aid price: $3.79

I paid for somewhere around $4.50(lost my receipt) One by One after the 40% sale. Rite Aid price: somewhere around $7.50

I paid $3.69 for Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer with my $2 Maybelline Face coupon. Rite Aid price: $9.49

I will post more on the Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer as I try it out more & find out if I like it or am allergic.
