early february hauls!

bam! makin another haul post because this needs to get put up sooner than later! i've got some really good stuff here and i hope you will consider supporting a fellow blogger in her small business venture! ~Lindsay ^.~

Nail Muse by Lydia -- i can't remember how i came across lydia's nail blog years ago, but i have been following her ever since. i finally got around to buying some of her press on nails that she started selling (maybe a year or two now..?) because they're gorgeous. i ordered these in my custom sizes (3,5,6,7,9), shape (round) and length (short). i'll eventually post a picture on my hands and review of these, but these are so nice! they're a very pretty water marble with blue, purple, and pink, over what looks like a white base, then there's a coat of a very fine rainbow microglitter. b-e-a-utiful! this set was $15+shipping, and included an orange stick and mini filing block, as well as application instructions. nail adhesive sold separately.

a few different things here! had to get myself a sigmagic scrub because, buy all the things! then i also picked up another sephora solid brush cleanser and a beautyblender solid cleanser. and as seen in my empties post, i'm hitting pan on my paaarty blush. then i wanted to try the ordinary.'s glycolic acid toner, and i got an hourglass vanish highlight stick sample in champagne flash. at walmart, they had these new crushed foil metalics eyeshadows that i haven't seen anyone review yet. swatching it, i'm not super impressed but we'll have to see. then over at ulta, i ordered a buncha stuff. got some dr teals things, a few more tea tree oils, a clarifiying lotion, two new wet n wild color icon palettes, and two hask masks. i know, i know, i'm trying to go through hair samples and i more or less bought two hair samples.... but they're supposed to be good, and they're wine inspired! 😉

there's also another haul item that i didn't mention in this post..because i already posted about it.. i bought a deluxe original beauty box because she was having a friends and family discount, and i've been wanting one in my life for like two or more years now... and we can just call it a "yay i finally got a job offer!!!!!!"-present to myself..even though i ordered it the day before i got my job offer. but i didn't have to tell ya that..! ^______^
