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 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!

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. 🙂

I stopped by Target recently. That seems to be the only store where I can find the CoverGirl Queen Collection All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation in my shade. By the way, my shade is Spicy Brown.
I ended up buying a few more things too.
I wanted to try the Flamed Out Shadow Pencils. I chose Gold Flame and Melted Caramel Flame. CoverGirl released a new eyeliner. I bought the Ink It By Perfect Point Plus All Day Eye Pencil in Black Ink.

It’s no secret my fondness of Maybelline’s mascaras. I’ve been curious about the Flamed Out Max Volume Mascara from CoverGirl. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this mascara. It made my lashes thicker and longer with no clumps.

To stay on trend with the deep berry and wine lip colors for Fall, I chose Fine Wine lipstick from the Queen Collection.

I came up with this affordable Fall makeup tutorial using the i-Divine Sunset Palette from Sleek Makeup. If first primed my eyelids with the Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Primer.
Next I used the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Rust as a base on my eyelids.

I applied orange to the center of the lid.
I applied the burgundy color to the crease.
Next I applied black to the outer V.
I used this champagne color as my highlight.
Applied NYX Slide On Eye Pencil in Jet Black to the upper lash line.
Applied NYX Slide On Eye Pencil in Brown Perfection to the lower lash line.
I applied this pale pink shade to the inner corner.
Applied Maybelline Falsies® Big Eyes® Mascara to the upper and lower lashes.
I used the NYX Powder Blush in Cocoa as a contour to my cheekbones.
I applied NYX Powder Blush in Desert Rose to the apples of my cheeks.
The NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Absolute Red as my lip color was the final touch to this look.
The rest of the face:
I saw this palette reviewed on http://www.temptalia.com. When I saw how beautiful and vibrant the colors in the palette were, I knew I had to buy it. I purchased this palette from the Amazon Marketplace. The seller that was used in amazon.com was RM Cosmetics. I paid a total of $15.49 for the i-Divine Sunset Palette. ($12.99 for the palette and $2.50 for shipping)S. This palette is perfect for Fall.
These colors are so pigmented!
I do plan on making more Sleek Makeup purchases in the future. 🙂

Nicki Minaj recently launched her clothing line for Kmart. When I went to my local Kmart today, this is what I found.
I know my daughters will like these clothes and accessories. The leggings in this collection are really cute too! 🙂
This was actually my first time ordering from ULTA online. I took advantage of the free shipping that was being offered on orders $25.00 and up. NYX Cosmetics was 40% off online and in stores when I placed this order.

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.
