Collective Haul: Target,Lush,Ulta,Sephora & More

Over the Labor Day weekend I was able to get my hands on some really great sales! Yay for me! I picked up some really great products- some I ran out of and needed to replenish and some are brand new to my beauty world.

A main focus for me on this shopping trip was to find some really great hair products. My hair is naturally curly and on the courser side and after spending this summer in heat, sun, pool and ocean waves I am in desperate need of some haircare TLC. I ended up finding some amazing products that I am so excited to try and then report back to you guys!!

Beauty Haul


I wanted to share a collective beauty haul of a few things that I have picked up over the last week or so. Some of these items I have tried before and some are new to me and I can't wait to dive in and start using them!

(left to right)

Revlon Colorstay Foundation (Normal/Dry Skin) in 150 Buff

I love love love this foundation, it has been my go to foundation over the past several months and I ran out of it about a month ago and was trying my very best to use up some of the other foundations that I have, but I couldn't wait any longer I missed it too much! It has quickly become a universal love in the beauty world probably due to the coverage, durability, and overall formula.

L'oreal Revitalift Miracle Blur Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream SPF 30

I am super excited about this product I have been hearing really great things about it and can't wait to try it out. It has the same overall idea as a primer claiming it erases the look of wrinkles, lines, and pores. I also love that it has SPF 30 in it, perfect for this time of year. I will be doing a review on this product so stay tuned!!

Maybelline Color Sensational High Shine Lip Gloss in #40 Captivating Coral

I am on a coral kick these days and so when I saw this lip gloss I had to pick it up. I have never used this product before so I am anxious to see what it's like.

Milani Baked Blush in #05 Luminoso

Again with the corals! I couldn't help myself. I haven't EVER tried a Milani product, but I was hearing some good things about these blushes I thought I would start there. I am looking for some more go to Spring/Summer blushes.

Maybelline Master Drama Mechanical Cream Pencil in Stormy Navy

This is another new product that I have not tried. It says that it is limited edition so I wanted to pick one up while I could. They had black, purple, and this navy blue on the stand that I saw and I normally don't wear blue liners so this is stepping outside the box for me, but I can't wait to try.

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in #30 Coral Tattoo

Are you seeing a coral theme here! :) As I mentioned I am looking for go to blushes and I always pass by these, but last week I decided to just go for it and try them out!

Rimmel ScandalEyes in #005 Nude

I picked up this product because I don't have a good go to nude eyeliner and had been hearing good reviews on these pencils. It kind of looks like the same idea as the Urban Decay 24/7 liners. I look forward to seeing how these hold up in comparison. 

Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Fuchsia Flash

I am so in love with these lipsticks I have a few others already and new that I wanted this color, but every time I would go to pick it up they were either sold out or tampered with. So finally last week I found one and I am so happy it has found a home in my collection.

Khroma Beauty Joystick Lip Laquer in Sea Coral

Last but not least this lip laquer caught my eye, probably because of the whole coral obsession I have right now, but also because I haven't tried anything from the Kardashian beauty line yet and I am hoping that the lip products are going to be amazing since they always have such great lips on their show!! Here's hoping!!

So that concludes my beauty haul for today! I hope you enjoyed and I can't wait to start using these products and share my thoughts on them!!


Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?

Mini Haul


Today I want to share a few things that I recently picked up! I love reading/watching hauls, it's so much fun to see what's out there!

(from left to right)

Bath & Body Works The Sweethearts Collection in Honey Sweetheart


I recently ran out of body lotion and I am the type of girl who is not faithful to one lotion in particular, I love switching up lotions. I was in Bath & Body Works and spotted this gem. It's the Honey Sweetheart Triple Moisture Body Cream. I love anything that smells like honey so this immediately caught my attention. I favor the Triple Moisture Body Creams over their regular body lotion because I find them much more hydrating, plus they don't contain parabens. This fragrance is amazing! The description reads " Honeyed violets sprinkled with pink sugar". I recommend this for the fragrance alone, it's light and yummy and perfect for Spring!!


L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Aqua Lip Lacquer in Pink Rebellion
I am a huge fan of the bold lips this season and I am always on the look out for another great lip product, since that is the focus right now! As you may or may not know I am in love with the Maybelline Vivids as so many of you are too! I decided to give these lip lacquers from L'oreal a try so I just picked up one, but oh my gosh! First impression, they are fantastic, definitely something different Extremely moisturizing, perfectly pigmented, and the texture is so luxurious. Not to mention they are a stain and really hold up well throughout the day without drying or flaking. I will be heading back for more colors immediately.
Wet n Wild Color Icon Blusher in 831E Pearlescent Pink
I always have a hard time finding a good blush. So with all the buzz around the Wet n Wild blushes I couldn't resist picking one up. I have used it only once so I can't talk too much about it, but so far it seems to be really nice. Very very pigmented. I will review this product so stay tuned for more of my thoughts on this product.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded
Not too much to say about this product, because I have talked about them in other posts, raving about how much I love them. I picked up Barely Branded, because it is the most gorgeous neutral color and that's basically been my everyday look lately. A very neutral eye and bold lip. A definite must have shade from the Color Tattoo collection.
Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil
I am a self-confessed lover of anything Essie, so I really was excited about this purchase. I haven't tried it yet so I can't even leave a first impression, but I will definitely be reviewing this product!   

Pacifica Body Butter in Tuscan Blood Orange
There have been some rave reviews about this body butter so I am very excited to try it out. It smells amazing and is formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, peanut oil and petroleum. It is also 100% vegan.
So that concludes my little haul. Have you tried any of these products?

Mini Haul: Hair, Makeup & Bath



Hello!!! So yesterday I was out and about and I happened to grab a few things and I thought I would do a mini haul post!

If you follow me on Twitter ( if you don't, be sure to subscribe :) YAY! ) you might already know that I suffer from major insomnia :( and so I am always looking for products or different things that can help get me to sleep or at the very least relax me in the evening. I already love my Sleepy Time tea, it works wonders. Since I am obsessed with baths and bath products I have been on the lookout for a relaxation type product to use in the tub! Yesterday I stumbled upon Dr. Teal's Epsom Salts and it peaked my curiosity.

They claim that adding this product to your bath can:

- soothe your body for a deeper sleep
-ease aches and muscle pains

They are infused with Lavender oils which can help with relaxation and I have to say I am really excited to try this product. Hopefully this will help, I will keep you all posted just in case you are looking for something to help you sleep | relax as well!

The next product I grabbed was the Garnier Fructis PURE CLEAN Fortifying Shampoo. For some reason or another my hair is in total ruins. It's flat and my styles aren't holding very well so I have a feeling it's due to excessive product build up and so I need something that's going to help clarify.

I am probably the last beauty gal to run out and grab the Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Eye Concealer, but I didn't really buy into all the hype at first. I am quite happy with my current concealer, but I think it's always good to switch it up and you can't open a vlog or blog these days without hearing about the rave reviews! I will admit I am a little nervous, because Cover Girl has never really had me that excited to be honest.

Also to help out my dire hair situation I thought it best to grab a deep conditioner and so I picked up the Macadamia Natural Oil Dee Repair Mask. Again this is another product with rave reviews and one I am quite excited to try.

Due to my nail polish obsession I couldn't possibly go any longer without a new Spring color and so I reached for one of the new L'oreal polishes! I don't normally gravitate towards purples, but this one screamed at me for some reason! It's called Royalty Reinvented! LOVE already!

Last, but not least I needed to grab another mascara, because you can never have too many! Ha Ha! I really really like L'oreal's mascaras. They always seem to stand up really well to high end versions. So I will be trying the new Telescopic Shocking Extension mascara in Blackest Black. I do NOT I repeat, do NOT use waterproof mascaras. I think the formulas are always off. 

I hope you enjoyed this mini haul! I will do reviews as I use these products so watch for those!

Have you tried any of these products? What are your thoughts?

Haul: Drugstore


Yesterday I had some running around to do and I stopped in at the drugstore to browse around and to grab some good to go!

I thought I would quickly share what I picked up as a fun little haul post! Nothing too over the top or exciting!



I went to the drugstore for one item and it was the Essie good to go, because it was on sale! I am obsessed with this top coat, it is so amazing! Check out my review!




While I was in the nail section I noticed this cuticle remover by Sally Hansen and thought I would give it a try! I have the worst cuticles in the winter time. It doesn't matter how much hand lotion or cuticle cream I use, they are always super dry, so in an attempt to cure this problem I thought I would try this out and see if it helps! I will report back once I have tried it!



Last weekend I went out for a birthday party and had picked up some #105 lashes from Ardel, because I heard that they were really great and they ARE! I loved them because they are so light weight and apply without any hassel. I normally use the Makeup Forever lashes, but those can run a bit pricey and it's nice to have some back-up. So I had to grab another pair and I thought that I would do a half lash this time for a different look! If this pair works out I will definitely be going back for the other styles I liked!



I also picked up a couple of eye liners from NYX. The white is great for the waterline and inner corner! I really do love the jumbo pencils, but they can be a bit much for trying to be precise with application. It has a really beautiful creamy texture and the color payoff is amazing! I also grabbed one of their Slide On eye pencils, which remind me of the Urban Decay 24/7 eye liners. It is also very creamy and has amazing pigmentation. The color I chose was one I don't have and it is the most rich gold.[SL18 Glitzy Gold].




The last item was a quick grab and I was so excited to see these, because they work amazing for manicures! Orangewood sticks! They are great for cleaning under the nails and for rolling the cuticles back! I always get so nervous when I use my metal cuticle pusher!  I think I am going to do a manicure post soon, so I'll explain how to use these and get the most out of your manicure!

So there you have it! My little drugstore haul!
