It's that time of year again....

Yes...your eyes are not deceiving you. That sign has been spotted in every CVS in my area. How I love seeing that sign :) lol!!! I figured I would share with all my fellow makeup/beauty lovers this amazing sale that happens 2-3 times a year (I'm not 100% sure how many times a year but this is what I believe). Not everyone can afford to buy things at full price or afford high end makeup. This is a great sale to take advantage of. Believe it or not sometimes makeup that was just released you luckily can find for 50%-75% off. No lie!!!! I have been lucky enough to come across them. You know I took advantage of this sale. I obviously don't need any more makeup so I didn't buy a whole lot but I couldn't help picking up a few things. I have a hard time refraining myself sometimes. Most of the items I did pick up were under $2 so not too bad, at least that is what I tell myself. Hopefully, I will post and share what items I picked up during this amazing sale. Until then.....xoxoxoxoxo!!!!!! 

Be a Runway Beauty Eye Shadow Trios (Fall Collection 2013)....what I think!

Hey there my fellow beauties!!! I have been wanting to come on here more to be able to share some of my cool findings and deals with all of you. I wish I could do more than what I currently post but being that I still work and have to take care of my soon 4 year old, I don't have as much time as I like. Sorry for the ranting...lets get on with what I am on here about.

Those that know me, know how I have said that I was attempting to do a "No Buy" until at least around Christmas Time. Well, once again that was a BIG FAIL!!!! Once again I found myself inside one of the many local Walgreens in my area and fell upon a display by one of my favorite makeup brands....Wet n Wild of course!!!! :)

A majority of the items that were in this display were current items they sale day to day. But I recognized a few new eye shadow trios that I have never seen before. The photo above from www.beautybroadcast.net has them circled. I only picked up 2 out of the 3 trios that they had and I was lucky enough to get them while they were on sale, again! The trios retail for $2.99/each and my local Walgreens had $1 off of them.

First one I picked up was #34284 Camera Obscura. I always go for the trios I know I would wear more often or at least once. This trio had some neutrals that you could work into any look you create. 

The Browbone, which is a light brownish tan matte color, and Crease, which is a sheen light pink color, were my favorite in this particular trio. The eyelid color does remind me of a color that is in my other Wet n Wild palette, Blue Had Me At Hello. Its a dark blackish blue with hints of light blue shimmer.

These are the swatches for Camera Obscura. The crease and browbone color did need a few swipes before they started to appear on my arm. I did not use an eye shadow base to apply these swatches, with one most likely the colors would have been more pigmented then they are shown in these pictures. Besides that, the colors were gorgeous on the skin. Worth the $2 for sure!!!!

The next trio I picked up was #34292 Silent Era Film. Another trio I can definitely see myself using on a regular basis. This trio also comes with some neutrals, which I love, once again easy to incorporate into any look.

The colors in the Silent Era Film Trio is as follow....the browbone is a sheer mauvey pink. The crease is a coraly pink matte color. The eyelid is a grey color with some silver hints of glitter.

The swatches above for Silent Era Film were pigmented. Once again, the crease and browbone colors both had to be swiped a few times before the colors appeared on skin, but I didn't use an eye shadow base to apply the swatches. I'm sure if I did the colors most likely would've appeared with more pigmentation.

As I said I was lucky enough to run into these on a trip to Walgreens I didn't 

even intend on going on. Talk about double score, finding these bad boys and even better, finding them on sale!!!! YEAHER!!!!! Both of these trios are a must have, especially if you are neutral look person. They are colors that are easy to work with and can go with any look or outfit. Wet n Wild is an amazing, affordable brand, you can never go wrong. Even if you do try them out and end up disliking them, its not like you paid an arm and a leg for their products. I couldn't be happier with all the products I purchased from them. One of the few companies I trust in! Now get up and find this collection before its gone, you will regret it if you don't!

Deals of the Day....Dollar Tree Steals!!!!

Hey there my fellow beauties!!!! Once again I was out and about browsing at local stores, I should've just been window shopping, but honestly who can do that anymore?!? I had to pick up a few things at my local Dollar Tree and of course had to pass by the makeup aisle before I check out, lol!!! (Don't judge me, you would've too!) I was super impressed to see how much more of e.l.f.'s studio line they were carrying and more well known name makeup brands in general. Way to go Dollar Tree, keep it up!!!!! Who doesn't like finding makeup they love for $1.00?!? So, I just had to take advantage while I was there to grab a few goodies :)

Like I said I just picked a few things, believe me I would've got more if I didn't stop myself from doing so. Most of it was e.l.f. Cosmetics, of course, one of my FAVORITE brands of makeup! I couldn't help getting some studios brushes, you can never have enough brushes, lol!!!! 

I wasn't looking for a new foundation, but I actually stumbled upon this NYC All Day Long Foundation. I already own a NYC foundation that I absolutely love!!!! I figured I would pick up this one to give it a try  I mean it wouldn't hurt since it was just $1.00. I love that this one has a pump because the other foundation I have with this company doesn't. I tried looking up the original cost of this product, but it doesn't seem to be something that is sold in the U.S. I was only able to find the price in pounds (I think). I am looking forward on doing a first impression of this product and posting it here and on myYouTube Channel. So stay tuned!!!! 

Another item I decided to pick up, is an e.l.f. Brightening Eye Color Palette in the color 2018 Day 2 Night. This palette is sold for $1.00 on eyeslipsface.com so I didn't find it on sale or for a better deal but it does help that I didn't have to pay shipping to purchase it. They had a few other colors available but for some reason I liked this one a lot! 

These colors are definitely great options for creating a day to night look (the name suits it well). I find it to be a perfect neutral color palette. I'm especially fond of the taupe looking color and maroonish wine looking color too!

Last but not least, I had to take advantage of getting the studio brushes by e.l.f. Cosmetics!!!! These retail for $3.00/each and to find them for $1.00/each instead, you would have to be brain dead to not jump on that offer. I'm not going to lie, I was extremely surprised to see that they had studio line products at Dollar Tree in general!!! The basic line is common since the items are already $1.00 on e.l.f.'s website anyways. I wish they had more of the studio line available, I would've definitely bought the all at this price. Such a steal. I picked up the angled contour brush and the flat eyeliner brush. No make up lover could ever have enough makeup brushes :) 

Now that I was able to find all these great items at such a steal, I'm going to continue to keep my eyes open whenever I enter a Dollar Tree from now on. Who knows what great makeup products you can find. Makes me want to visit more local Dollar Trees just to see what they have to offer as well. Not every one has the same items so you never know. Hope you guys have the same luck I had in finding such amazing products at such steals (especially e.l.f.'s Stufio Line). So keep your eyes open ladies and good luck! 

ULTA OBSESSION!!!!!!

Well hello there....sooooo as always I'm posting about a pretty good deal I came across at one of my new favorite stores :)

I'm sure you have guessed it, thanks to my lovey title (lol)....yes, it's ULTA!!!!

I was so excited to find out that they had the Real Technique Brushes at buy one get one free!!!! If you haven't tried these brushes out yet, get out of your house and get to your nearest ULTA NOW!!!!!!! There so soft and amazing!!! Their originally price isn't bad for such a great quality product, it's a must have in every makeup lovers collection. I already owned the Expert Face Brush, which I'm literally OBSESSED with!!! So when I found out about this sale I had to grab me some more.

So I picked up the Stippling Brush and one of their Starter Kits. The Starter Kit was $17.99 and the Stippling Brush was $9.99 but after the deal the Stippling Brush came to $5 :)

I also picked a few more items that I found while digging through their clearance area. Two of the things I was super excited to have found because I was actually searching for them everywhere not knowing that they were discontinuing them. The NYX Glitter Powder is what I am referring to. I was lucky to have found two different glitters in the clearance, I actually had to literally dig to find them. I got the colors Disco Ball and Silver.

I also came across some of ULTA's lip balm crayons in the colors Raisin and Shimmer. I have never tried their lip crayons but I know I love the ones by Revlon and Covergirl and thought I would give these a try. It also doesn't hurt to try especially since they were only $.99!! SCORE!!!!

On top of that I had a $5 off coupon on a purchase of $15 or more and a $10.68 store credit. So after totaling everything together before my coupon and credit it came to $23.37. I only paid $12.69 after those were applied. Awesome for what I got out of that purchase. I couldn't be happier with what I picked up and how much it cost me.

Take advantage of the Real Techniques Brushes being buy one get one 50% off while it last you WILL NOT regret it!!!! Even if it is your first time trying it you will not regret it, I PROMISE!!!!

Well until my next blog guysssss.....XOXOXOXOXO!!!!
