Be a Bombshell Purchase from ipsy

Posted on July 6, 2014 | 1 comment

Every Tuesday at 12:00pm (EST) ipsy has a different beauty deal. The Tuesday deals don’t last long. I came across the Be a Bombshell Summer Lovin Set for only $20.00. Knowing this deal could sell out I purchased this set without hesitation. Being an ipsy subscriber was my first exposure to the Be a Bombshell brand. I have really liked the products I’ve been receiving from Be a Bombshell in my ipsy bag.

The Be a Bombshell Summer Lovin Set included:

(L-R) Southern Sass, Rock Bottom, Toasted

Tanorexic

Summer Lovin

I am still amazed all of this was only $20.00! 🙂

Lorac Purchase from HauteLook

Posted on June 11, 2014 | 2 comments

Lorac was on HauteLook again. This time I wanted to try the Cococin Cream Compact Cream Foundation.

The Cococin Cream Compact Foundation was $5.00 each.

I also purchased another Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup.

The Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup was $3.00 each.

I can tell I’ve gotten darker. The Cococin Cream Compact Foundation was a little light on me. Shade CR8

I applied the Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup over the cream foundation. This seemed to work. Shade WD5

Ardell and Andrea Lash Purchase from ULTA

Posted on May 23, 2014 | 3 comments

On my recent visit to ULTA I noticed there was a sale on Ardell and Andrea false eyelashes. The twin packs of false eyelashes were $3.99 each. The single pack of lashes was $2.99 each.

Until recently my favorite accent lashes were the Ardell #305. My new favorite accent lashes are now the Ardell #315.

I decided to try the Andrea #53 false eyelashes. What I like about these lashes is the fact they look natural.

I also purchased a twin pack of the Ardell #120 false eyelashes in an effort to step out of my comfort zone.

I didn’t forget to use my 20% off coupon either. 😉 Total purchase before sales tax $16.75.

What I Got Myself for Mother’s Day (2014 Edition)

Posted on May 12, 2014 | Leave a comment

I make it a point to get myself something nice for Mother’s Day. This time around I found some really affordable gifts. 🙂

I’ve had my eyes on this nail polish set for quite some time. I originally received the Pardon My French mini nail polish from Color Club in the June 2013 Birchbox. This color was from the Wanderlust collection. I would periodically check the Birchbox website to see if this four piece mini set was still available.

Birchbox offered another collection I liked as well. I received the Heirloom Pearls mini nail polish from Color Club in the April 2014 Birchbox. This color was from the Gala’s Gems collection.

(L-R) Heirloom Pearls, Aquamarine Azulino, Gold Struck, Breakfast At…

These palettes from BH Cosmetics have been out for quite some time now. I was on the fence on whether or not I was going to purchase them. I kept seeing them on sale. I decided to buy the San Francisco and Malibu palettes during their Mother’s Day sale. I also purchased the liquid eyeliner.

I first found out about Nature’s Shea Butter when this company was on HauteLook. I ordered the Taste of Shea Mini Sampler. Nature’s Shea Butter had a Mother’s Day Sale on their website. This time around I ordered my favorites from the mini sampler pack. I also received samples of their soap.
