Walgreens Haul!!

Good morning! I am really excited to share with you a few new things I added to my collection that I think are absolute gems!

1. WNW Polish in Tickled Pink 402: This is a very pretty flat baby pink shade but a true baby pink, not  pastel. I bought it on a whim looking for a color for Valentines Day and I really quite like it! Also, it was only .99 cents! I think this would be a very flattering color on the toes for spring and really want to try it under my Essie glitter polish in Stroke of Brilliance!

2. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation in Honey Beige: Being a tinted moisturizer person, I really wanted to try a foundation as I haven't tried one in a few years. For a very long time, I have stuck to my ELF Tinted Moisturizer in Sand and my Sonia Kashuk Tinted Moisturizer in Tan, and while I love them still, I have been wanting to experiment with more coverage! Not sure which foundation to try first, I did some research and this one was most attractive to me. I was not sure Neutrogena would carry my shade as they seemed to only cater to lighter skin tones but I was able to find my shade!! Honey Beige is the second to darkest, and while I do think it may be a little light, Tan, the next shade up, looked way too brown for my skin. Review and comparison coming soon!! Paid 10.99.

3. Jordana Easy Liner Lip Pencils in Cabernet and Plush Plum: While these are very beautiful colors, I think the names are deceiving! If I wouldn't have known the colors before hand by looking online, I probably would have had a hard time picking some. I love these. I wore Cabernet as a dark lip for Valentines Day paired with some natural lashes. I like to wear lip pencils alone and Cabernet had some stay power that was amazing! Can't wait to go back and get more colors!!! Cabernet is a deep vampy purple and Plush Plum is a burgundy. 

Reviews on these coming soon!

Dollar Store Beauty Haul!

Have you found any beauty gems at your local Dollar Store? Take a look at a few I've found this past week!

1. Sticky Page Markers: I saw these at a Dollar Tree and was attracted to it by its pretty colors! I use them to annotate pages that I need to keep track of in my text books and they are super cute!

2. Makeup Bags: This came as a set of 2 for a dollar. They are so cute, I just don't know what Im going to do with them yet! I was attracted by the print.

3. Dollar Tree Lashes: The style caught my attention and I was hooked! I am very curious to see whether these are very good, I think they would make excellent Demi lashes if I could cut them. Also, I might add that even though there was a compartment in the pan for glue...there was no glue in EITHER of the lash packs!

4. L.A. Colors Mineral Powder: I love these powders, they are smooth, silky and brightening! I tend them to find them in my local beauty supply stores or online, but this time I was in luck! I got the shades Sand and Soft Honey. Last summer I used Sand and I picked Soft Honey to suit my winter skin! I think I saw 12 shades total. I paid 2.50 for each.

^ Sand, Soft Honey

5. Remy Natural Lashes 109: Unlike the previous lashes mentioned, these are made from natural hairs! I can tell these are going to work just by looking at them. These have a clear band for easy application and are nicely curved. I paid $1.75 for them.

6. Donna Michelle Nail Stickers: I was attracted by the flowers, I guess we will see if they work! Here is a close up of the cuteness:

7. Super Cute see through Bag! Hello new pencil case!

Collective Haul! Target, Mac, Walmart, Big Lots, Lee Beauty Supply

A few things I recently added to my collection! 

Brushes

Elf Complexion Brush: Great brush for light bronzer or contouring and blush. Also great for touch ups. It came with a plastic brush protector thing that i put it in and slip it right into my bag along with my Elf Complexion perfection! ~$3

 Sonia Kashuk Large Crease Brush: The smaller of the 2 brushed shown. Awesome for blending eyeshadow and pointed so i can put shadow on my lower lashline and inner corner as well! ~$4.99

Sonia Kashuk Pointed Blending Brush: I must pick up another of these! Awesome for blending eyeshadow in the crease AND for applying concealer! If you love applying concealer with a blending brush rather than your standard concealer brush you'll love this. ~$3.99

Lips

Ruby Kisses Jellicious Gloss in Cotton Candy: Light milky toned pink, mostly clear on the lips but moisturizing and a great gloss! Also smells and tastes like candy! Not necessarily cotton candy though. I plan to pick up other colors. Review here!

L.A. Colors Lipliner in Rose Brown: My go to my-lips-but-better color! A matte, rosey brown and it looks so natural on me! I absolutely love it and its AUTOMATIC! woohooo! I combine it with a lipbalm to keep my lips from drying out.

Nail Polishes

Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

Revlon Base Coat

Sinful Colors Secret Admirer 

WNW Under your Spell

NYC Matte Me Crazy

NYC Grand Central Station

 Eyes and Concealer

Mac Select Cover-up Concealer (NC 45): My favorite concealer of all time. Love it for undereyes blended with my Sonia Kashuk pointed blending brush. Wonderful color and def worth the price tag!

Ruby Kisses HD Cream Eyeliner in Dark Brown: Awesome gel eyeliner that I've been using everyday. SUPER long wearing, convinient little pot but I wont be buying black because the WNW black cream eyeliner is my all time favorite :)

Covergirl Mascara: I forget which one this is...its the orange one and strangely it came with a purple cap. So, I don't know what thats about. This is my second tube of this stuff and it works nice, but def not my favorite. Still looking for my all time favorite mascara! Any suggestions??

Thanks so much for stopping by, be sure to follow! Reviews coming soon :)

Sally Girl Haul/ Sally Girl Baked Eyeshadows Review

Yay, so I've been wanting to write a review on these shadows for a while now and I'm super glad to finnaly be able to. Lately, I've been just super busy with Pit Orchestra for the musical in which I play the trumpet, gymnastics, jazz band, and just homework and stuff, ugh.

Anyway, I absolutly love these shadows, they are great to use wet or dry and are vibrant even without a base or primer.

A Day in the Life of Rachel

Once I wore the purple wet without a base or a primer and it lasted  
all day with no creasing, but then again it was a pretty easy day,  
just went to the mall.

I had never tried baked eyeshadows before and was mildly confused by  
the texture at first. I did some reasearch and found out that these shadows  
start off as a liquid and are literally  baked in an oven. Obviously  
not like the oven you have at home but a similar concept.

You can get these shadows for .99 cents (or .89 with a sallys card)  
ONLY at Sallys Beauty Supply(store/online) and they are the cutest things ever. The little container is so tiny and cute, I would say about the size of a  
quarter and it's got a little flip open cap and the whole thing  
reminds you of a little bubble... It's great.


I have 3 of their colors: Teal, Purple and Bronze. I love them all!

I have swatches and stuff so you can see.

A Day in the Life of Rachel 

At the top are just the shadows and at the bottom they are foiled

I know there are some little like 9 year old girls who have already  

entered the world of makeup and if that is you or your daughter or  
sister or something these are the perfect birthday gift, and at .89  
to .99 cents you can't beat it.

Overall, I would give these a 5 out of 5 because they are great  
product wise and price wise. I plan to buy the other colors soon if  
not today.


Disclaimer: Not sent to me, bought them myself bla, bla, bla.... :)
Hope this review helped you! Thanks to all my followers! Comment please!
