Rite Aid Haul: Featuring Maybelline

I took advantage of the buy get one 50% off on Maybelline the last time I went to Rite Aid. What I purchased is limited edition from the Maybelline Spring/Summer collection.

MAC Haul from Nordstrom

I recently went to the MAC counter at Nordstrom to pick up a few things I needed.

Pro Longwear Foundation in NC50, Eye Brows in Spiked, Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark Deep, Lipstick in Impassioned

ImageI chose NC50 for the Pro Longwear Foundation because NW45 was too red on me. Using the Skinfinish Natural offers a nice balance so the NC50 doesn’t look too yellow when I’m wearing this foundation.

ImageThe MAC eyebrow pencil is my all time favorite brow pencil. I like the precision the skinny tip offers. Plus the pencil is self-sharpening.

ImageI also did some recycling at the MAC counter. I got this lipstick for free since I turned in six empty containers.

This is how all of the products looked on me. 🙂

 

 

 

 

Sephora Haul: Featuring Carol’s Daughter, Ralph Lauren and NARS

Image

I actually purchased this kit for my youngest daughter. She wanted to flat iron her hair. I wanted something that would condition her hair really well. The Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Collection 3 Piece Starter Kit smells wonderful. It retails for $24.00 at Sephora.

Image

The Ralph Lauren Big Pony Rollerball Set for women was on sale for $25.00 at Sephora. For that price I figured it was a good way to try out these fragrances.

The last thing I purchased was the Pierre hardy for NARS Collection nail polish set in Vertebra. This collection was inspired by Pierre Hardy’s Summer 2013 shoe collection. The nail polish set retails for $29.00 at Sephora.

 

 

What I Got Myself for Mother’s Day

I decided to treat myself to Coach this year for Mother’s Day. The only way I can afford Coach is by getting it from the online outlet Website.

A Closer Look: MAC RiRi Woo

Rihanna recently collaborated with MAC and came up with a remixed version of the Ruby Woo lipstick. On May 2, 2013, The RiRi Woo lipstick was available online for $15.00. Needless to say the lipstick sold out in three hours. RiRi Woo will be available again online in June.

RiRi Woo is described as a Retro Matte red. I must say I am so in love with this shade. 🙂 I do recommend applying a lip conditioner first.

Kmart Haul: Ardell (yes again)

I went to Kmart and noticed the Ardell lashes were still on sale for $2.69. I picked up a few more of the accent lashes. 🙂

ULTA Haul: Featuring China Glaze

I had to go to ULTA for something, but I can’t seem to remember what for.  The ULTA store I visited changed the way they displayed their nail polishes. Needless to say I was a little distracted.  Here are the polishes I purchased from China Glaze. 🙂
