HauteLook Haul: Featuring NYX Lip Colors

I took advantage of another great sale courtesy of HauteLook. This time around I purchased lip colors from NYX Cosmetics. Whenever NYX is on HauteLook, they always have a great selection on their makeup sets. I purchased the Raging Red Lip Set and the Lip Trio Set.

A Closer Look: BH Cosmetics 12 Piece Pink Brush Set

Image

I purchased the BH Cosmetics 12 Piece Pink Brush set when it was on sale for $9.00 during a back to school sale on their website. This is the second time I purchased a brush set from BH Cosmetics. The first set I purchased from them was the 24 Piece Synthetic Brush Set. I couldn’t pass up buying another brush set especially when it was $9.00.

Image

I have not experienced any shedding with these brushes while using them. They hold the product well and the eye brushes are fantastic. The face brushes are soft and don’t scratch. The brushes didn’t shed when I cleaned them either. The case is really sturdy too.

BH Cosmetics has another winner on its hands with the 12 Piece Pink Brush Set. This set with worth checking out. 🙂

Kmart Haul: Ardell Lash Sale Again

Image

It seems the only time I buy false eyelashes is when they are on sale at Kmart. Once again the Ardell False Eyelashes were on sale for $2.69 each. I stocked up on a few more.

If I wanted to wear false eyelashes everyday it would be the Ardell #110.  These lashes are still my favorite. I get that natural full look with them.

Image

I also purchased the Ardell #109 just to add more variety to my false eyelashes collection. I can still achieve that natural full look with these lashes.

I also noticed some hair accessories on clearance. I have really enjoyed wearing my natural hair thanks to finding cute accessories like these.

HauteLook Haul: Shoes!!!

It’s no secret how much I love HauteLook. This post is a combination of shoe purchases I have made. This time around I got two pairs of shoes for my youngest as a part of her back to school shopping. She really wanted some cute combat boots and sneaker wedges. I knew I would find exactly what she wanted because of the wide selection of shoes.

For the combat boots I ordered the Charles Albert Black Leopard Boot.

For the sneaker wedges I ordered I ordered the Bucco Flint Wedge Stud Sneaker

I also ordered a pair of shoes for myself. With two daughters this posting may be the only time I will have these shoes in my possession. LOL!

For myself I ordered the Bucco Uko Wedge Black Leopard Sneaker.

A Closer Look: BH Cosmetics 24 Piece Synthetic Signature Brush Set

I’ve actually had this brush set for a little while. I bought this brush set while it was on sale (BH Cosmetics always has great sales). I did read the reviews on the set before I made this purchase. Two of the criticisms were the brushes shed and they don’t hold the product well. I did not experience that when using these brushes. Another criticism I read was that it was a problem the brushes weren’t labeled. That didn’t bother me either. If I can find another use for a makeup of brush, I will do it. I also had no problem s cleaning these brushes.

I found the BH Cosmetics 24 Piece Synthetic Signature Brush Set to be a great deal whether you are a beginner or more advanced. This is a great brush set to take when traveling. You have every brush you will need for makeup application.
