Charming Charlie Haul

I discovered a new store during the Holiday shopping season. The store is called Charming Charlie. This store carries clothing and accessories. It was the sign in the window advertising a clearance sale that caught my interest. I was greeted by a sales associate who walked me over to a display that had purses on clearance. The purses were already marked down and the sale included 50% off of that price.

This is what I purchased.

The total came to $18.00 before the sales tax of 7% was applied. Not bad. 😉

ULTA Haul: Featuring Stila

I’m always looking for deals after the Holidays. There are times I will wait to make a purchase when I know that item will be marked down. I had a $25.00 gift card I wanted to use.

I originally swatched the Color Outside the Lines Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner set just before Christmas. I really liked the staying power if the eyeliners but I didn’t want to pay $34.00. I called my favorite ULTA store after Christmas to see if there were any of the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner sets in stock. I had them hold a set for me and a Kitten Must-Haves Makeup Collection as well.

Em Cosmetics Haul

YouTube sensation Michelle Phan launched her cosmetics line in 2013. http://www.emcosmetics.com/. Like many of us I subscribe to her channel. I knew it was a matter of time when Michelle would have her own brand of cosmetics.

Michelle released The Life Palette Holiday Life: New Year’s Countdown Edition palette. I purchased this limited edition palette when it was on sale for 40% off. The regular price was $29.00. This palette is small enough to fit in my purse.

The colors in this palette are versatile enough for me to use for special occasions or every day.
