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! 

Wet n Wild Beauty Army Tough Girl Craze Review

Hello my fellow makeup and sale lovers of the world!!!! So lately, I have been on a Wet n Wild binge and hunting down their new limited edition collections. First was the Pop Art Craze and now I came across their Beauty Army Tough Girl Craze Collection. This collection has both eye shadow trios and nail polishes, but I only got two of the eye shadow trios. 

Once again, I decided to purchase colors that I know I would use or that I didn't already have in my makeup collection. I got lucky to find these beauties when they were on sale at my local Walgreens. I ended up picking them up for $2/each....SCORE!!!!!

Spoiled Army Brat was definitely a mission to locate. I literally had to go to 3 different Walgreens before I located it. I definitely wanted to take advantage of the sale before it was over. I wasn't going to give up and I'm glad that I didn't. 

This is a pretty pink palette. Pink is my favorite color so I just had to have this in my makeup collection. The eyelid colors is a nice light pink which does come off a bit chalky but is very pigmented. The crease color (my favorite of the palette) is like a light cranberry pinkish red color. Last but not least, the browbone color is a pinky mauve color, and took a few swipes before it was able to be seen on my skin. 

The eyelid and crease colors are both matte and the browbone color does have a bit of a sheen to it. Beautiful in general. Love this palette!

The other palette I picked up and just had to have, was Soldiers in Charms. The greens are what caught my attention. This palette definitely fit into the theme of this collection...automatically thought Army Fatigues when I saw it. Also, these color are PERFECT fall colors and I feel like these colors are going to be the "IT" color for fall. 

The eyelid color is a greenish gray color which I have never seen before and DO NOT have in any of my eyeshadow palettes already. The crease color, which is sooooo beautiful, is a very dark deep green with gold shimmer in it. The browbone color, is a very bright sort of lime green color and came across a bit chalky as well. 

The eyelid color is matte. The crease color has shimmer/glitter. The browbone color has a bit of a sheen to it. 

A definite MUST HAVE in your makeup collection. There were a total of 6 eye shadow trios from this collection. All the colors and finishes of these trios looked gorgeous but I didn't get them all since I didn't see myself using them or I had similar colors already in my collection. In general, Wet n Wild's is already so affordable for a great quality of makeup. These trios originally run $2.99/each which is as if you were paying $1 for each eye shadow, not bad at all!!! On top of that, they're beautiful pigmented colors and you won't be disappointed. 

I'm hoping to be able to get some of the nail polishes from this line and hope to share them with you when and if I do get them. Those are $3.99 or $2.99/each, I don't remember...sorry. Waiting to see if they eventually go on sale so I can pick them up. 

I have only seen this particular collection in Walgreens and some at Kmart as well. So, what are you waiting for?!??? Go get these babies!!!!!!!

COLORS COLORS COLORS!!!! Wet n Wild's Pop Art Craze Eyeshadow Trios (Limited Edition)

HELLO LOVELY LADIES!!!!! I know it has been a long time since I posted anything on my blog....I am so sorry, but life has been crazy for me the last few months. I am somewhat back on track and have finally found some time to sit down and post about this limited edition collection by Wet n Wild. I know I am probably really late with this post and many people have already spoken about this collection but either way I wanted to let you guys know how I felt about it.

The Pop Art Craze Limited Edition Collection!!!! Let me first start off by saying, WOW!!!! The display, in general, caught my eye within an instant. I did hear about it in advance through social sites and those that are beauty ambassadors with Wet n Wild, so I was already super excited for this line to come into stores :) I believe they started making their debut in the beginning of July 2013. I found this display at my local Walgreens (they were $2.99/each, I believe).

As is shown, there were both eye shadow trios and nail polishes that were part of this limited edition collection. I did not pick up all the eye shadow trios since some of the colors would be colors I would probably never use. But I did pick up the two that I believed I would get the most use of. I did also pick up a majority of the nail polishes (since they were on sale for $.69 at the time), but I will not be posting them in this particular blog (look for one in the future).

One of the eye shadow trios I purchased was in #34166 Hard Being the It Girl.

I loved every color that was in this trio. One thing I absolutely loved is that all the colors are Matte. I probably won't use the brow bone color for my brow bone but I can see myself using it as the eyelid color. I can see myself using the eyelid color as a brow bone color as well. Both the eyelid color and brow bone color are pretty much neutrals that you can pull off with any look. My favorite color from this trio is the crease color. It is super pigmented and the blue is such a beautiful bright color to accent this look.

The cream and pink colors did appear a bit chalky which was a bit disappointing but I am sure I can still make it work somehow. If you are someone that is not afraid of color or is willing to try a bit of color this trio would definitely work for you. It still has some basic soft colors but the blue surely does add a pop to your look, to make it a bit daring and different.

The other trio I picked up was in #34169 To Muse and Carouse. I think this trio was the perfect colors for summer. Since it did come out in July, this was a great combo for that time of the month. As the other trio I purchased, all the colors in this trio are also all Matte. The eyelid and crease colors were both super pigmented, as for the brow bone color, I did have to get a few swipes before I could get any color to appear on my skin. 

These colors weren't as chalky as Hard Being the It Girl. I love the combo and feel like these colors would make a gorgeous eye look, as I said for the summer time. I still feel if you don't use as much of the aqua eyelid color, I am sure it could still work during the fall season as well. This trio can suit any makeup lover out there, the colors aren't too bold, where it would make anyone think twice before purchasing it. The feel of the eye shadows are very silky smooth.

The other trios in this collection were a bit more colorful and bright. I didn't purchase them since I didn't see myself using them. Since, I did purchase this with my own money, I didn't want to spend it on something that wouldn't ever be used. They were all beautiful colors and some were pretty daring colors. 

I don't know if these are still available in stores but if you are lucky to come across them, ACT FAST!!!! I got lucky to find them when I did and made sure to purchase the ones I wanted. If you wait, they will be gone, believe me! I am sure you can also check online and find somewhere or someone that is still selling them. Wet n Wild is so affordable and all the trios that I have tried I have LOVED!!!! The colors are super pigmented and so beautiful on the eyes.

I did also purchase 2 of the eye shadow trios from the new Beauty Army Tough Girl Craze, so keep an eye out for that blog NEXT!!!!

Update!!!!!

Hey there!!!! Man has it been a long time since I have been on here, but man have I been a very busy bee. Not by choice of course. Been working more hours at work so it gives me little time to get together things to post on here as well as I try to record videos for my youtube channel when I can too. I'm also getting ready to move so things been a bit hectic with that going on as well. But I'm going to try my best to start coming back on here to get more blog postings up, at least I'm hoping. Here's a little preview of what I want to attempt posting on this blog in the next week or so.

Deal of the Day....Walgreens!!!!

Well hello there strangers...man has it been a long while! My fault totally, but I am back with a new deal of the day for you guys :) Actually more like deals of the day!

So you know me and my hunting down good clearance deals, and I am always visiting the usual locations for some good items for some amazing prices.

Today's deals of the day were found at my local Walgreens. If you didn't already know, I am a big fan of Sinful Colors Professional Nail Polishes. As I was scrounging thru Walgreens clearance area lucky me found some Sinful Colors Professional items. Not just nail polishes but other things that I was unaware that they even sold there.

All of these items were 50% off at Walgreens. I am not going to say it is at every location since every Walgreens locations clearance items are different and vary. As I said earlier I just got really lucky!!

Starting off, this is the first time I even saw this item being sold at Walgreens, and I so happen found it in the clearance bin. I found a few of these in different colors. Also, this is the first time I attempted using nail glitters in general. So, I only decided to purchase two of the colors to see how i felt about them.

I got the colors:

*Glitterazzi, which is just a basic gold glitter

*Sparkle City, which is just a basic purple glitter

I have used Glitterazzi one time already and as a first time nail glitter user it was a little messy, but made my nails look so cute!!! You know I had to post of photo on my instagram showing them off :) LOL!!!

Some other items I picked up at Walgreens was of course one of their nail polishes, especiially since it was only $.99 and also I found out that Sinful Colors carried lip glosses as well. So I decided to get one of their colors to try out and the color was cute too! So who wouldn't get it when it is just $1.50?!?!?

The nail color I got is called Rain Storm, it is a very pretty greyish blue color and perfect for the fall/winter time, but I will rock it when I feel like it...lol!!!

The lip gloss color I picked up is called Fruit Cocktail and is a pretty coral color and looks to be pigmented, I have yet to wear it, but just swatching it here seems like it is.

I always get lucky enough to find some pretty good deals on some pretty good items by great companies. It just takes alot of patience! So just take the time to look around at your favorite stores because you never know what you might find.

Until my next posting...XOXOXOXO!!!!!

My 1st Cravebox Impression/Reveal

Hello people of the internet...how have you been??? Its been a good minute since I have done a monthly subscription blog and I wanted to share a new one that I recently decided to sign up for.

CRAVEBOX!

I heard about Cravebox thru YouTube believe it or not! I have been searching for another monthly subscription to try out since I have cancelled my Birchbox about 2 months ago.

The thing that I liked about Cravebox is that you can sign up for free without committing to receiving their boxes monthly. Another thing I liked is that you can pick and choose what boxes you are interested in and buy them directly or be put into a raffle/drawing for that month.

Each box ranges from $10-$15.

Also each one of their boxes are themed. One box can be all about food, beauty, books, or even focus on your furry friend. Sometimes can also be just a mixture of things, so it never gets boring!

So I chose to enter a raffle/drawing for the Book and Beauty box. To get this box instantly it was $15 but since I entered the raffle for the box, if chosen, it would only cost me $12. Lucky me, I was one of those chosen to receive the box :) 

I was very pleased with my Cravebox :) Not only did I like everything I received, I was really impressed with their sizes.

When I opened my box my eyes literally lighted up when I saw the first two items at the top of the box!

What I received:

*Vaseline Total Moisture Clean Feeling Lotion (3 fl oz)

*John Frieda Full Repair Hydrate + Rescue Deep Conditioner (4 fl oz)

*Biore Samples of: Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser (0.24 fl oz), Pore Unclogging Scrub (0.25 fl oz), and Deep Cleansing Pore Strip (1 nose strip)

*Mistress of My Fate Book One of the Confessions of Henrietta Lightfoot (Novel)

The one thing I know I was very happy to see and can't wait to try is the John Frieda Deep Conditioner :) I have lately been obsessed with conditioning my hair and getting it in a more healthier state, and I have heard nothing but great things about the John Frieda line. So I am hoping that it does wonders with this dry hair of mine.

Also, I am a huge reader (well lately!) so I am looking forward to getting into this book and seeing if it is any good. If it is, looks like I will be looking for the rest of the trilogy ;)

MY FINAL THOUGHTS...

Definitely worth my $12 and I'm definitely interested in looking into getting another one of their boxes :) Would even refer any friends to get one too!!!

Way to go Cravebox and hope that your boxes keep on impressing this chick right here :)

Until my next post guys!!! BESOS!!!! <3

Deal of the day....FOREVER 21!

Hola readers!!!! I am here again to share one of my deals of the day :) I am not going to lie this deal was purchased about a week ago I just haven't had the time to post it on my blog. But here I am now sharing these awesome and affordable finding with you.

I have shopped at FOREVER 21 before and they have such cute clothing there. About a month or two ago I decided to look at their accessories and came across some pretty affordable pieces. Best believe I took advantage and scooped them up! So since then, whenever I go shopping there I have to take a look at all their accessories.

So for my Birthday I decided to do a little shopping for myself and visited FOREVER 21 to pick up some more cute earrings, but you know I looked at more.
I picked up some cute medium sized pink heart earrings with gold trimming for only $1.80 :)
I also got some cute blue anchor earrings also with gold trimming for $1.50 :)

So after looking at the earrings I decided to see if I could find any statement necklaces because I have been wanting to add a few more to my slowly growing collection. I didn't find any that were worth the price to me so I moved onto the small simple necklaces and came across a gold chain with a nice simple gold key at the end. I thought it was really cute and could be used to layer with another necklace and for $1.80 who wouldn't want to pick it up!!!
The last thing that I purchased was these pink and orange flower clip for the hair...not only were they me and my love's favorite colors combined, they were only $1.80 for a pair.
If you are like me and take the time to look at things carefully you can find some pretty good deals for some pretty cute items.

So the next time you visit a FOREVER 21 take the time to look at their accessories. They also have a pretty good selection of affordable rings and bracelets but when I went there weren't any that could fit :( Maybe you guys will have better luck than me.

Until my next post guys....BESOS!!!! <3
