H&M Purchase: Clearance Items

I had some free time on my hands and decided to visit an H&M store. This particular store is located at the Southside Works in Pittsburgh, PA. I really love the layout of this H&M store. When I walked in I noticed a clearance sign for $1 nail polish. There was another sign for $3 cosmetics too. I already have a weakness for nail polish. My vast collection is proof of that. I couldn’t pass up such a deal. 😉

These nail design strips were also on clearance for $1

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

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.

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.
