HauteLook Haul: Featuring Crown Brush Yet Again

It is safe to say this is my last Crown Brush purchase for 2013. I saw this cute Combo Brush Set being offered in HauteLook. I gave in to my weakness. LOL! The brush set is small enough to carry in my purse. The eyeliner and tweezers fit in the brush case too.

The pigmentation from the eyeshadows in this palette isn’t bad. You never know when it comes to matte eyeshadows.

HauteLook always has great sets and deals from Crown Brush. I’ll see if I can practice a little more restraint in 2014. 😉

Sephora Haul: Featuring Urban Decay and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics

Posted on December 18, 2013 | Leave a comment

I went to Sephora this past weekend. I had two gift cards I wanted to use. Sephora sent me a $15 off gift card. I also purchased a $10 off gift card from Groupon.

Image

I’ve had my eye on the Urban Decay Vice 2 palette for a while. I didn’t get last year’s Vice Palette. I didn’t want to miss out this time around.

Sally Beauty Supply Haul: Featuring Shea Moisture and Beautiful Collection

Posted on December 18, 2013 | 2 comments

Image

The first time I bought the Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner was when it was buy one get one free at CVS. I barely had the chance to use the Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner when my oldest daughter as to borrow it. Anyone with daughters knows whenever they ask to borrow something you rarely get it back. LOL! Since I had a coupon from Sally Beauty Supply I replaced my Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner.

Image

I also bought a Beautiful Collection semi-permanent hair color in Darkest Brown. I really like this brand because it leaves my hair soft. Need to cover up the grays. 😉

My Macy’s Purchase

Posted on December 6, 2013 | 2 comments

I really needed some new Winter boots. When Macy’s had their Doorbuster Black Friday sale, I already knew I would find a good deal. I also used a 20% off coupon too!

Image

Image

I can’t afford UGG boots so Bearpaw is an alternative for me. I’ve bought Bearpaw boots for my daughters in the past. They did say Bearpaw boots keep your feet warm.

Image

I ordered the Emma Tall Booties in black.

Sally Beauty Supply Haul: Featuring China Glaze and Ion

Posted on December 4, 2013 | Leave a comment

Let the Holiday Shopping Season begin!

Image

This past Friday I stopped by Sally Beauty Supply. Being a creature of habit I bought some China Glaze nail polishes. They always seem to have nice collections for the Holidays.

Image

I bought the Dash of Dazzle and Touch of Twinkle sets. These sets were $7.99 each with my Sally Beauty Club Card.

Image

Image

(L-R) Mingle with Kringle, Bells Will Be Blinging, So Blue Without You

Image

Image

Image

(L-R) Just Be-Claws, Be Merry, Be Bright, Santa Red My List

Image

I also purchased some deep conditioner for my hair. I’ve added the Ion Repair Solutions Effective Care Treatment to my hair routine. I made a promise to myself that I would take better care of my hair. In the past my hair would break off during the cold weather months.  I’ve made great progress this year and I want to retain my length.  The Ion Repair Solutions Effective Care Treatment packs were 99 cents each.
