Weekend Haul! (pic heavy)


Wow, it's been a long time! Almost 2 months! I highly apologize. I had a lot going on, and when I had time to sit down and blog, the internet wouldn't cooperate :( But I'm back! And today I have a little weekend haul for you. Me and the husband went shopping and I got a few things I wanted to show :) Enjoy!

From Walgreens:
 -Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin, Wet N Wild Limited Edition Holiday Color Icon Palettes in Bake Off Contest and Baked, Not Fried


I could not get a good photo of the blush for the life of me. It kind of looks just like the lid on the packaging, but it's a bit off.

*A closer look at the palettes*

 Baked, Not Fried
Baked, Not Fried is a coppery/gold palette. When I first saw these on display I knew this was the one I had to have! (they were BOGO half off, so you might wanna check your local Walgreens to see if you have them too!) It is such a pretty palette! and it also looks beautiful swatched, but I really had to build it up to get it that way :( I haven't tried it out on my eyes yet, but just from swatching I am not that impressed. To me, they aren't nearly as good quality as the normal WnW eyeshadows :( But I will have to wait and test it out on my eyes to be sure...

 Bake Off Contest

Bake Off Contest is a cool blue/gray palette! I couldn't decide what else I wanted to get, it was between this and the purplish 8 pan palette, but the bottom left blue color won me over! Which is odd, because I never wear blue eyeshadow. I don't know what's up with the top right color. It is pretty transparent, but for some reason in the photo it is coming off as a tan shade... I feel pretty much the same about this one as I do the other one so far :( Also, both palettes come with a sparkle eyeliner. Brown for Baked, Not Fried and Silver for Bake Off Contest. I know I took a photo of them, but it is nowhere to be found right now... (And on a side note, I'm hoping that is the concealer I applied to my hand making it look so wrinkly *makes a mental note to buy more hand cream*)

From Burlington Coat Factory:
I love earrings!!! And I really love cheap earrings! These were so cute, I just couldn't pass them up. And at only $4.99, why would I?? And I have been wanting a key necklace since Spring, but I just never found one. This isn't exactly what I've been wanting, but I thought it was really cute. And it was on sale for only $2.98!

From Big Lots:
Clean & Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial - I used this forever ago and liked it, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere! So I had to pick it up again and see if it was as awesome as I remembered!
Clean & Clear Finishes Even Tone Cleanser - I've never tried this before, but I like foam cleansers and I liked the moisturizer from this line, so I figured I would give it a try!
Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara in Very Black - as if I needed another mascara, lol. I remember when this first came out I wanted to try it, but for some reason I never did. I had actually forgot about it til I saw it, and I had to grab it!
Eyeshadow Brush - I have no clue what brand this is. It just says "eyeshadow brush". I haven't used it yet, but I took it out of the package and it feels pretty soft. I just needed a larger shader brush, and for only $1.50, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it

From Target:
Revlon Facets of Fuchsia - This photo does not do it justice! I'm sure you have seen this on a million blogs already, but in case you haven't it is a black base with fuchsia glitters in it! I haven't tried it yet, but when I do I will be sure to post pictures!

And my last Target purchase, which isn't beauty related, but it goes with the season...
Hocus Pocus!!!! Probably my favorite movie ever! Every year around this time I have to watch it, but I didn't own it :( So I would have to wait for it to come on tv and suffer through commercials, or borrow it from my sister. I look for it every year, but I never could find it til now :) And the 4th season of Psych because it is one of my favorite shows and Target had it on sale for $12.99 :)
Wow, that was a lot of pictures! Once I try everything out I will be sure to post reviews/photos! Once again, sorry I've been gone so long! I promise to be better :) Until next time, <3 Rebecca
