Sally Beauty Supply Haul for October

Posted on October 4, 2013 | 2 comments

Image

I actually made this purchase at the end of September. I realized I still had to use my 15% off coupon.

Image

I have been using the Marley Hair as a part of my protective styling.

Image

I finally broke down at bough two nail polishes from China Glaze. These two
colors are from the Fall 2013 collection.  I also received false eyelashes for free
because of this purchase.

Ardell #120 False Eyelashes

Image

September was also the month I needed to renew my Beauty Club Membership for $5.00. I chose the Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat Protection Crème as a result of paying the renewal fee. I would rather my daughters wore their natural hair curly. At least they know to protect their hair when flat ironing.

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.

Kmart Haul: Ardell Lash Sale Again

Posted on September 21, 2013 | 3 comments

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.

Image

 

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

Sally Beauty Supply Haul for August 2013

Posted on August 30, 2013 | Leave a comment

I recently noticed many of my combs are missing. I have an idea what happened to them (my youngest daughter Naomi). I did get better at finger detangling though. I was debating if I was going to ask Naomi for my combs back of just buy new ones. I found it was much easier to buy more combs, LOL!

Image

 

I have 4C type (tightly coiled) hair and that calls for a wide toothcomb. I find it easier to part my hair using a rattail comb. I am going to hide these combs from Naomi.

Image

I think I may be turning into a product junkie. 😉 The Roots of Nature Butter Whip Coil Cream ™ was marked down at Sally Beauty Supply.

HauteLook Haul: Featuring Koh Gen Do

Posted on August 28, 2013 | Leave a comment

The nice thing about HauteLook is that you can buy makeup from brands that aren’t available in ULTA or Sephora. HauteLook featured makeup from Koh Gen Do cosmetics. Koh Gen Do is a makeup and skincare company from Japan. Needless to say I was intrigued. Having a dark complexion I knew the face products featured would be too light for me. I did order the Maifanshi Mineral Eye Shadow quad. There was something about those colors I really liked.

The eyeshadows are soft and blend nicely. I didn’t experience that much fall out. Midnight Blue is my favorite color from this quad.

Rite Aid Haul (I was only supposed to be buying school supplies)

Posted on August 27, 2013 | Leave a comment

I recently visited Rite-Aid to get school supplies for my youngest daughter Naomi. She tagged along to make sure I bought the ink pens she really liked. While at Rite-Aid these items also found their way into my cart.

Image

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Moisturizing Lip Balm in Pink Shock  Baby Lips great at moisturizing your lips while providing a hint of color. Naomi wanted to try one for herself. She usually wears lip gloss.

Image

The Limited Edition Great Lash Colored Mascaras are back. I like the colors this year better than the ones last year. Naomi picked I See Blue for herself.

Image

 

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Special Effect Textured Nail Color in Tight Knit. Naomi saw these nail polishes at the nail salon she frequents. She wanted to try one for herself.

Image

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment. I use this oil as a pre-poo and have been really happy with the results. The other bottle I had ran out thanks to Naomi.
