Haul: Walgreens and Dollar Tree + Update!

So before I go ahead and get right into the haul I want to apologize for not making a post practically all month. I can't say I've been busy because I haven't. I've just been using other websites and just kept procrastinating about making a post on my blog! The procrastination ends now. I'm hoping to be back for good- not being back for a month then not making a post for two months, no. I'm going to start taking my blog seriously. I love blogging and this is my only way to blog at the moment. I love you all! x

Now that my little update is done, I'll be doing a really quick haul. I went to Walgreens and Dollar tree today and picked up a couple of goodies I though I'd share with you all! I have a really good "dupe" for something in this haul as well! So keep reading if you want to save up to $84 dollars (:



Alright, so the first picture is everything I got from Walgreens and Dollar Tree. The second and third picture are the things I got from Walgreens. I only got four things. Cotton balls, two Sinful Colors Proffesional nail polishes, and a LE WNW Color Icon palette.
The first nail polish is a very pretty silver glitter polish called "Queen of Beauty" and the second and last nail polish I got is a beautiful silver metallic color called "Out of this World". I got both of these colors to wear on Thanksgiving, which in the United States is this Thursday (I have the whole week off! Yay!) Then I got cotton balls, which is boring. Just jumbo generic cotton balls to remove nail polish. The last thing I bought was the new WNW Color Icon Palette in Sugar Plum Fairy. I saw Stephanie's post (blog linked here) on some WNW palettes she picked up and I thought this was one was gorgeous. Lately, I've really been loving purple eye shadow so this is perfect. If you want swatches, I'll do a review once I start using it!

Now the Dollar Tree part. If you don't already know Dollar Tree is probably the only dollar store where everything is $1. Everything, nothing is $5, $4, $3, $2, or even $1.09. Everything is $1 or less! I love it, I spent $20.24 in total (but some things were for my mom and I got a bunch of snacks that I didn't include here) so I'm only showing beauty related things :P
So the first thing I got was a pack of 6 mini packs of tissue so I can take it to school now that I have a really bad cold! Then, I got a pack of makeup remover wipes. I really like the Target brand Up & Up ones but I saw these so I thought why not try it for a buck? I haven't tried it quite yet, but when I do I will be doing a review! Then I got a little loofah for you know, showers haha. I also got some nail polish remover since I've been really into nail polish and I'm running low on the one I'm using now! Now for the I guess you would call it dupe. The Daisy by Marc Jacobs dupe. The brand is called Jean Phillippe Paris. I'm sure you've seen these generic perfumes at dollar stores before, I know I have. I saw it and I was like "Oh! I love Daisy!" So I smelled it and I swear it smells EXACTLY the same! It's ONLY one dollar. If you like Daisy I reccomend this! Even though I already own Daisy by Marc Jacobs I thought either I can give it to a friend or keep it in my purse for touch ups! Then I got the generic version of Anais Anais by Cacharel. My mom used to use this ALL THE TIME when I was around three and four years old, I even remember spraying it in my eyes because I was curious.. Oh how stupid I was. It smells nice and floral so I had to get it!

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul, if you want a review or comparison of anything just let me know in a comment! Thanks for reading lovelies! xo

Random Mini Haul!

I was browsing around luuux the other day when I saw this post that said 50% off Wet N' Wild cosmetics, so of course I instantly clicked on the post and read the details! The deal ended today (sadly) so I had to go to make my mom drive me to Walgreen's! Don't worry; she bought a couple of things herself haha. I didn't go crazy, I only bought three Wet N' Wild things.

Also, I got a metal tin from the salvation army thrift store to put rings in. I'm not sure how that will work out but it was only $0.99, I couldn't resist.



                                                 (Wet N' Wild Walking On Eggshells Trio with swatches)
I got this trio for $1.50, yes $1.50. That is incredible. These eyeshadows are extremely pigmented, smooth, and easy to blend. This is a great trio for an everyday neutral look. Such a great steal!
(Wet N' Wild Lust Palette with swatches)
I paid $2.50 for this. WHAT? yes. The second color on the second row is really the reason I bought it. The color is so different. It's a flat black with purple shimmer. Most people describe it as what MAC's beauty marked was supposed to be. The matte colors are kind of chalky, but nothing terrible whatsoever.

(Revlon Nail Polish in Peach Petal)
The color is beautiful. I love it, the consistancy of it is not great; I'm still not sure on my feelings towards it. It dries super super slow, I let it dry for at least 10 minutes and it still wouldn't dry. So, I went ahead and put another coat and took this pictures and took it off right after. Hopefully next time I try it, it works great. Hopefully.

(Wet N' Wild Nutty single eyeshadow with swatch)
A lot of people said a good dupe for satin taupe is this eyeshadow. I don't agree. Its similar, but definitely not a "dupe". It is a really pretty color though! I will be for sure using this!

(*Sorry I didn't swatch the revlon lipgloss! There's tons of swatches out there, just google it if you were curious!)
