The back of the packaging gives some great directions on how to apply these colors if you are unsure or new to making a smokey eye look. 




A very diagrammed chart to show you.




And it says it's suppose to be 12 hour eye shadow. 


The packaging is 




very slim and even on the 




it gives you more directions. 


When I opened this little package up 




I found the colors to be AMAZING.. 


My Thoughts
I wore it all day yesterday and it did last like it says it will. I was shocked that I had never given these a try.. I think there are over 14 different quads to choose from and I plan on getting as many as I can of these. I think they are such a great deal.. 


Check out the swatches.. 




As you can see they are a little shimmery and they are also very pigmented. Which is great for a drugstore find! 


As I have told you many times, I rarely read reviews before buying any make up. I don't want some review to make up my mind for me..I want to try them out first and then read the reviews. The reviews on this line is really really good reviews. 


So maybe this is a shadow that you might want to try out yourself because I don't think you will be disappointed.

HUGE Walgreens Haul + A Few things from Walmart!!!!

As many of you guys know, I went out today...and was nervous about being among the black Friday shoppers. I was lucky that I didn't have any issues with it. I went out to all the drug stores to see what I could find. I figured all the drug store beauty items would be disorganized and nothing left. Well CVS sucked and so did Rite Aid. They barley had any beauty products a lower price than what they normally are. 


Well Walgreens was the WINNER today!! 


I was so happy to go in there and see all the sales! 


I got a ton of stuff.. I will be doing swatches and reviews in the weeks to come but tonight I wanted to show you what I got. I only paid full price for 3 things.. the rest was on sale. I got my receipt and I will try to keep straight what everything cost but I will try! 




So here is the haul in full!!




22 items total


I had to take the pictures on my dining room table because it was so big and 




look at how was up in the chair at the table watching.. Isn't Gizmo cute!


So one of the items I paid full price for was 




Eco Tools Limited Edition Beautiful Expressions Kabuki Set. 


( I will do a full post on these tomorrow ) 


I also saw this adorable 




Cat Ring Holder. I know this is really not a beauty item per say but it does kinda fit with beauty! 


I love it.. In fact, I think I am going back to get another. One for beside my bed and one for in the kitchen when I am cooking! 


The next thing I paid full price for is these




make up removers. I will do a full post and review on these tomorrow or Sunday.. I tried these the first time when my Free Target Beauty Bag came in [ see post HERE ] I am loving these right now and can't wait to tell you why! 


The last item I paid full price for was this 




Elf Holiday Edition in Natural Eye. 


And just so you guys know I will tell the prices of the 3 above items when I review them. 


But here is what I found on sale!!


First with the eyeshadows..




Ok.. With the Revlon Color Stay quad was $ 3.59 and the other 2 shadows were $ 1.10 each!!


HOW GREAT IS THAT!!


On to blush and bronzers.. 




The Malini Baked Bronzer was $ 4.00 and the Revlon Blush was $ 1.50. 


They also had this 




Cover Girl Professional Mascara for $ 2.99


Now lip items.. 




Ok.. I had fun with the lip products!!


The 2 Relvons on the left were 4.59 each , The Rimmels that are in the middle were $ 2.69 each and the Revlon on the end was $ 3.99. The Gloss was 3.49. 


Then the nail products were calling my name!!






The deal on these polishes and strips was amazing! 






The Sally Hansen polishes in the middle was $ 2.59 each




The Essie polish was $ 4.00






The Rimmel Polish was 2.99 and the last polish on the right is Sally Hansen Salon polish that cost $ 2.99.








The Salon Effects was $ 3.99


Last but not least I am going to go ahead and include what I picked up at Walmart.. 




Some more Conditioner, moisturizer, floss and of course, Oprah's new magazine!!


WALGREENS KICKED ASS TODAY!! 


Now, I should explain to you guys, that this is a marker sale.. What I mean is all these items had those little dots on the displays of which items were on sale. So not all products from the line were these prices!! You will have to just go in to YOUR Walgreens and see what you find!!


Clearly, I found a lot and I wasn't in there till after 4 pm. 


So, get there and check it out!!


I will do swatches and reviews over the weekend!!


HAPPY HAPPY!!

Revlon ~ Chili ~



Hello friends!! If you saw this POST or this HAUL then you know I bought this Revlon Polish in ~ Chili~.. Now I am not that great at doing nails.. thats why I had my nails done for me for years. But now, I am trying to do them myself and buying more and more polish. When I saw this polish I was in LOVE!!! I really liked the color.. I don't know why I feel ok wearing color when my nails are shorter vs when they are longer. But I painted my nails with this color last night and I think it looks as good on as it does in the bottle!!


This is also a Top Speed Polish that drys really fast.. For someone like me.. thats a requirement!! I know this is not the best paint job.. but look at the color.. is it not one of the prettiest fall colors? I love it and soooo happy I stepped out of my box and got it! I think that the Revlon Top Speed polishes are actually pretty good for the price. Normally quick-dry nail polish formulas seem to be fairly heavy and thick, to the point where they go gloppy  after a few uses. Not so the Revlon Top Speed polishes. For a quick-dry formula they were actually quite runny, but not in an annoying way that you couldn't work with. I thought it went on really smooth and after a few coats and a clear top coat it worked GREAT! It dries in about 5 minutes which is the ONLY reason I picked this. These retail for around $ 5.00 a bottle which is aprox $1.00 more than their regular polishes and I think its a steal! I promise you this is not the last Revlon Top Speed polish I will be doing.. I plan on getting ALL THE COLORS so stay tuned for those swatches! I love this and I couldn't be happier with the polish!


Have any of you guys tried this line yet? I know its not new but I am just trying it for the first time!! Let me know your thoughts if you have tried it and if not.. do you think you might try it now???


Email me!!

The " hunt " for my Orangy Red Lipstick!!

As I told you in last nights beauty haul post ( if you didn't see it you can click HERE to read it )
that I wanted a lipstick that would match well with my new polish..


So here is what I found..




The polish I got yesterday..The 2 lipsticks and lipliner is what I got today..


I found..




This Revlon Lipstick in




and I think it matches..




Pretty good!!


But.. I found another in ..




also by Revlon that I think matches..




even better! Ha!! Sooo happy finding these 2!!!


Finding a lipliner to match up proved to be more hard.




I settled on this one by Covergirl in




# 205
Smoky Intense..


I am not sure how this will look with the lipsticks.. but I think once I outline my lips and fill them in with this pencil.. it will look just fine after the lipstick is applied on top of it..


I will get swatches and do reviews soon!

Friday Haul!!



I picked up a few things today that I thought I would share with you guys! I get a lot of questions about how much I spend on stuff.. Please remember.. I rarely buy anything that is not on sale.. I just don't do it unless of course, I have to. 


So lets get to it!!


First off I went to Rite Aid to pick up.. 




some of the Organix Body Wash. Right now these are buy one get one free. They are normally $ 10.00 each and with this sale.. It was like they are $5.00 each! How awesome is that. I love doubling up on bath and hair products because in my bathroom.. my shower and bath tub are separate. I don't like having to transfer things from one area to the other. 




This one is my favorite. As you can read its a blend of cherry blossom and rice milk.. 
Smells and feels really good! 




I decided to get a different one for the shower.. 


This is the Coconut milk and sugar cane.


 I Will let you all know what I think of this one after I have tried it a few times. 


Both of these are a gel consistency and really lathers up really well! 


I am not sure when the sale ends.. so if you are interested in getting these for the sale price.. get there ASAP!!!!


Next up.. 




I got these Sally Hansen Salon Effects in 


" Plaid About You" .. 


How cute is that name!? Anyway.. got these on sale too at Rite Aid. 


The next sale item I got was.. 




This Revlon Color Stay Lipliner in # 630 ~ Nude ~.. 


Thinking about it now.. I should have got 2 of these and I will explain why towards the end of the post. Not 2 nude ones but 2 lipliners. If I remember right these are 30% off. 


Husby's good electric razor broke recently so he is back to shaving with a normal razor. He was complaining how my " girly " disposable razors were tearing up his face.. So I got him..




Some special Aveeno Shaving Cream that is suppose to help prevent razor burn. 


And some more.. 




disposable razors because I couldn't remember what kind of blades his razor took.. 


( sorry but these were not on sale ) but they were for him.. and he is worth full price. 


I next picked up some lipstick that was on sale too..




Please look over my nails.. I was swatching all kinds of polishes on them.. so they look a mess right now.. Will fix them soon! 


Anyway I got this Revlon Colorburst lipstick 




in 




Now I don't normally wear red lipstick.. But I have been looking a lot at how the lady's in the 50's wore their make up.. and red lips were a big part of it.. so really want to try. .


What I was trying to do was get a lipstick that matched up with .. 






This new Revlon Polish that I got. This one is in .. 




I just love it for fall! But I failed at finding a lipstick that matched up well with it.. 


So tomorrow.. I am heading back to the store.. I am getting another one of those lipliners in whatever color matches best to the other lipstick I am buying that matches that polish better!!


Will be sure to show you what I find! 


Had fun getting some good deals today!


Later tonight.. I will show you what I got for my kittys!


Ohh.. and I almost forgot.. 




I got my baby's some birthday cards too while I was there! They are growing up so fast on me. This year.. I am sending cash for the first time ever for their birthdays.. It kinda feels weird not getting gifts for them but I thought they would have fun shopping and I also liked the idea of saving on the shipping!!


Thanks for reading!

Twinkled Pink + 1 !!!!!



Yesterday I ran into CVS to pick up some Advil...


but found a couple other things that I thought I would share!






I got this




beautiful pink super Lustrous Lipstick in #




Twinkled Pink..




This is a beautiful peachy pearly pink.. Really pretty ..




This lipstick last for a long while.. I tried it on my lips after I got home..and about 3 hours later it was still on.. The pearlish finish wore off first.. but the color lasted a while longer. It faded good too.. no harsh outlines or anything.


I love this color..I bought all this purchase.. including the Advil with my CVS extra bucks.


However this lipstick was $ 7.99.


Here is the next thing I got..




Revlong ColorStay Eyeliner in # 203


~ Brown ~




I got this because I wanted a soft pencil for my brows... that I don't have to sharpen.
 


I made kinda  thick line so you guys could see it.. but I wont use it that thick on my brows or eyes!


Anyway.. I know its a very small haul.. but I thought I would share anyway.. I love the lipstick and its a new favorite of mine right now!
