Nail mail/makeup additions

Several new things today :)

First, my most recent purchases from Zoya came in last week!

Can you guess which these are? ;P

Stay tuned for swatches of these bad boys in the coming weeks.

As for the makeup, I scooped up Covergirl's latest mascara:

CG is usually a solid brand when it comes to mascaras,

so I'm excited to try this one.

Lastly, this little rando thing,

I've never even heard of this brand?

But it was $1 and Spring-y looking,

so, why not?

Swatches seemed decent enough!

Have any of you had experience with these?

What are your thoughts?

:)

Drugstore Haul

So in the past week or so,

I've accumulated some goodies from my local drugstore and market.

That's the new mascara from L'Oreal (can you guess what it is? :p

3 of the polishes from China Glaze's newest Fall collection,

a Covergirl lipstick,

and 2 new polishes from Covergirl's Catching Fire collection

Can't wait to try all these babies.

Have a good day, ya'll! 

Birthday Haul pt. 2

I got some more goodies with some of my birthday money,

and had to share them with you, of course :)

First, my little CVS haul:

Many of this is not brand new, but stuff i've been lemming for :P

ANDDDDD my prestige/indie cosmetic haul:

Can you guess which Carousel Gloss this is?

^^ AHHHHH SO STOKED!

& some awesome free samples :)

I CANNOT wait to swatch the Vice2 palette.

Stay tuned for that in the very near future!

Sephora/Bday Haul

So thanks to some extra money and my bday,

i've been able to score some pretty awesome products in the past week.

;P

These three little numbers from Sephora:

The foundation is something I already use & have been for awhile now,

but the other two products are totally new to me :)

Also, I was gifted this amazing beauty gift set from Lancome!

Ahh! Just look at all the goodies!

I cannot wait to try them all.

I've never used Lancome but know it's a great brand,

 so I'm really stoked :)

Have yall tried any of these products here?

What are your thoughts?

ULTA Fall polish haul

So being that Fall is coming up,

I HAD to stop in ULTA and pick up some fall-ish polishes :P

Here's what I got!

Can you guess which these are?

Some are from a new collection, some aren't :)

Can't wait to show you these babies!

What's your favorite Fall polish?

Short post because i'm uber busy today,

but stay tuned for much more in the coming days :D

Mini Drugstore Haul

So I finally made a much anticipated trip to my local Walgreens,

and picked up a few great goodies:

Wooo!

My goal was to find some of the new Wet N Wild trios,

and I decided on these two (they were out of the other one I would have gotten, humph).

First up is 'Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up!'

*swatched without primer*

Odd name for a trio, but the shadows look pretty good.

Next is 'I'm Seeing Triples!'

*swatched without primer*

These are a bit bolder, and also look promising.

Both trios are mattes.

Stay tuned for looks and a review of them in the near future!

Also,

my daughter is almost 2 and OBSESSED with anything fairies.

SO, when I say NOPI had a Tinkerbell collection,

I obviously had to buy at least a couple.

Two very tame, lovely pinks by the looks of it.

I'll have a full post and swatches of at least one of these bad boys tomorrow :)

What do you guys think?

What have your experiences been with the new Wet N Wild trios?

Let me know! :)

Sleek Ultra Matte Palette swatches!

Wooooo!

Finally this bad boy came in the mail.

I've had my eye on this for awhile because of ALL the super bright shades,

and it finally came the other day.

I've never used any Sleek products before.

Have you??

Here's the palette:

jnakfjbaksfbafjk

SO. PRETTY.

Swatches! (top row):

Bottom Row:

Now, these ain't no Sugarpill,

but I was still pleased to see that it looks like pigmentation is pretty good.

The real test will be creating a look with them though.

Expect to see some bright & fun looks come summer time! :)

Not Too Polished- 'The Eyrie' & beauty mail!

Hello!

I have my final Game of Thrones polish from Not Too Polished to show you today.

Here's 2 coats of 'The Eyrie' over 1 coat of Essie's 'Bikini So Teeny'.

'The Eyrie' is a bluish-lavender jelly based filled with white micro glitter, large silver holo hexes, and giant white hexes. It does it's name justice. For those who don't know, the Eyrie (homestead of the House of Arryn) is in the North of Westeros. The castle sits super high on a cliff, and as you wind your way up to it, you eventually come through snow and then finally, high above the mountain tops around you. This polish looks exactly what the Eyrie seems to me to be!

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: Not Too Polished

Type: Jelly glitter

Formula: Good!

Opacity (1-5): 3-4

Application: Good!

Price: $7.50 for full size bottle

Get This: her Etsy site

I really liked this polish.

It's a unique color & went on great.

May definitely have to buy the other 2 GoT polishes she makes!

Side note,

more beauty mail finally came in today:

WOOOO! Can't wait to try those bright mattes.

You all definitely have some bright summer looks headed your way in the next month or so!

:)

Beauty haul/mail & ATC's 'Misty Morning'

So over the past week or so,

I've had some AWESOME additions to my makeup & beauty stash.

Check it out!

!!!!!

Yeah, lots of good stuff.

I'll try to get into all of it (or most of it) within a week!

What are your thoughts on my haul?

Any products there that you've tried?

Moving on, another polish from Above the Curve's spring mini set.

Here's 2 coats of 'Misty Morning' over 1 coat of Sinful Color's 'Sugar Rush'.

'Misty Morning' is a pastel blue jelly base filled with silver micro glitter & silver hexes, iridescent shimmer, & large white hexes. I really love that this polish is supposed to mimic the sky with rain & clouds :) Lovely idea that I think translates very well.

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: Above the Curve

Type: Glitter Jelly

Formula: Great!

Opacity (1-5): 3

Application: Good

Price: $9

Get This: her Etsy site

What do you guys think about this polish?

I like it!

Stamping & drugstore haul

Hellooooooo.

I actually have some decent stamping for you today!

:O I know- it's shocking.

I've been wanting to try another Covergirl polish since I was so impressed last time.

I also half-heartedly gave stamping another go,

and i'm pleased with how it came out.

Here's 2 coats of 'Golden Opportunity' stamped with Konad plate 

(I know this last one is blurry, but I wanted you to see the full effect.)

'Golden Opportunity' is a champagne gold foil. It didn't last anywhere near as long as 'Constant Candy', but it's still a great polish!

As for the stamp, i don't even like paisleys, but I found myself liking this pattern against the gold.

POLISH INFORMATION

Brand: Covergirl

Type: Metallic Foil

Formula: Great!

Opacity (1-5): 4

Application: Awesome!

Price:  $5

Get This: any local drugstore or large super market like Walmart & Target

What do you guys think of the pattern & combo?

ALSO,

i gave in & purchased the entire Sinful Colors' Sugar Rush collection :P

AND some St. Patrick's Day polishes:

Can't wait to show you these!

I freaking love pastels.

ANDDDDDDDDDD,

for those of you that have actually read my post-

i have a little surprise gift for you here in this 'hidden' giveaway!

Enjoy! :)
