Coastal Scents recently had an awesome sale to kick off the Holiday shopping season. Everything on their website was 50% off. I could have easily ordered a bunch of makeup. I decided to try their natural products instead.
I call this my Winter survival kit for hair and body.
(L-R) Shea Oil, Shea Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil
A couple of stickers and an eyeshadow sample set was also included in the order.
(L-R) Arctic Breeze, Laguna Green, Appletini, Indigo

I went to my local Rite Aid and noticed some of the Revlon cosmetics were on clearance for 75% off. I decided to try their lip glosses. I also had three $1.00 off coupons I wanted to use.

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!
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.
I ordered the Emma Tall Booties in black.
Let the Holiday Shopping Season begin!
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.
I bought the Dash of Dazzle and Touch of Twinkle sets. These sets were $7.99 each with my Sally Beauty Club Card.
(L-R) Mingle with Kringle, Bells Will Be Blinging, So Blue Without You
(L-R) Just Be-Claws, Be Merry, Be Bright, Santa Red My List
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.

Nail It! Magazine made its debut in 2013. This is the fifth issue I have purchased. I need to quit playing and subscribe to this magazine already.
There are step-by-step nail tutorials throughout the magazine. I really love that!
Nail It! touches on hair and skin.
Nail It! also covers makeup.
This is a great magazine whether you are a beginner or a professional. You get up to date information on nail trends too. 🙂

I visited Kmart this past weekend (no surprise there). I noticed some of the L’Oreal eyeshadows were marked down to $3.99. I also had three $1.00 off coupons I wanted to use too. In the past I have used the HiP eyeshadows which are very pigmented. I decided to try the 24HR Infallible eyeshadows. I have used Maybelline’s Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadows. I wanted to see how the L’Oreal Infallible 24HR Eyeshadow would measure up.
The eyeshadows I purchased are: Bottomless Java, Smoldering Plum, Midnight Blue
(L-R) Bottomless Java, Smoldering Plum, Midnight Blue
At first glance the 24HR Infallible Eyeshadows are really pigmented and the color goes on smoothly. I had to use makeup remover to remove the swatches from my arm. Soap and water didn’t work. 🙂

Once again Crown Brush was on HauteLook. I’ve been curious about the brush cleaner from Crown Brush. In the past I have bought the brush cleaner from MAC. It only made sense to try the brush cleaner. The majority of my makeup brushes are from Crown Brush.
The Crown Brush cleaner was $6.50 for 4.0 fl.oz.
I also purchased the Duo Fiber Brush Set. This set was $12.00. These brushes are really soft. I can’t wait to play!
(L-R) Deluxe Duo Fiber Shadow Brush, Crease Brush, Small Duo Face Brush

I visited my local Kmart today. The Ardell False Eyelashes are on sale for $2.69 again. There were also hair accessories on clearance for 10 cents each. I couldn’t pass that up.
It’s always nice to find really cute hair accessories.
Instead of buying the Ardell #110 lashes, I went with the #109 lashes again. I get a nice natural full look with these lashes. I also purchased the Ardell #102. Getting out of my comfort zone with it comes to false eyelashes. 🙂
