collective haul: mostly drugstore items

你们好！i needed another greeting...give me a break, this is the 7th post i'm making today! w00t! here's a bunch of stuff that i got over the past several months that are in the drugstore price range. ~Lindsay ^.~

if i recall correctly, there was a huge sale on damaged products on the makeup geek website, so i went ahead and ordered a bunch! some of these are repeats so i didn't swatch them all below. also, i have a sephora shadow swatched below, which will be mentioned in a later haul post.

sephora colorful shadow in danger in paradise, friend zone, bake sale, blacklight

i think i actually got this the ordinary. product from sephora...but it's a drugstore price, so whatever. i've actually already passed this along and it didn't feel like it was helping with what i intended it for. and as soon as these burgundy bars were on amazon, i grabbed one! so pretty!

the burgundy bar palette

here are several things i've picked up at the walmarts recently. (plus nails inc. nailkale which is from sephora.) these tea tree & honey masks have been helping so much! i like them a lot! also, the elf blemish control primer has salicylic acid and has also been great! and i'm not sure when i'll use these press-ons that i got... i bought them before i got my acrylics.

target stuff - let's see... out of this stuff, i don't recommend the pixi eye makeup remover pads. they didn't work for me at all. i probably used like 4 or 6 to get a normal day's eye makeup off. i think i passed this baking soda cleanser along because of the scent, and same reasoning for the sonia kashuk brush shampoo. these ecotools sponges aren't too bad, not my favorite though. and i haven't used this bath bomb yet.

from elf, i haven't been able to find these brush wipes in my local targets. that's why i placed this order, along with a few other things to try and i'm fairly certain some of these items were freebies. the eye and sheet masks were kind of whatever. and the mask brush is kind of weird, but it definitely beats using my fingers for some of the masks i use.

february hauls

hi guys! let's see... stuff i got in february.... it actually wasn't all that much, considering i blew my budget on stickers, i made an early february haul post, and my birthday was just the other day, so i kind of needed to not buy all the things! lol. i will try to get up a few more of my end of month, february sephora play, and nail muse review posts sometime later today or tomorrow, since i've got time to work on them later. ~Lindsay

note: i just realized i don't have arm swatches of anything in this post.... 😱 i don't have time to photograph them right now, but i'll edit this post and add them later today before working on the other posts! i wanted to get this post out the door because there aren't many lip swatches of people wearing the new kat von d studded kiss lipstick in divine!

sephora - turquoise beauty blender because everything blue(-green)! also picked up another tarte maracuja eye cream because i somehow forgot i already had a backup..... and got a sample of the marc jacobs shameless foundation in Y210. i also got my bite birthday gift, along with kat von d's studded kiss lipstick in divine. i've tried fresh's oval soaps a long long time ago and really liked them (aside from their massive size), so i wanted to try this one because i couldn't remember if i had this scent before - sugar lemon. i also grabbed a sample of benefit's new bad gal bang mascara.
skindinavia - 25% off! w00t. got another oil control setting spray, and two freebies of their primer spray and (regular) setting spray.
walmart/amazon - finally jumping on the green color corrector/concealer bandwagon because my face was not happy this month. got the maybelline master camo and la girl pro conceal.

december & january hauls

hiya. part two of my december and january hauls: the other stuff. ~Lindsay

a beautiful mind a beautiful life -- so, i took a photo with not my book, lol. this is actually T or A's book, i actually preordered the kindle version and downloaded it the day it came out. then maybe a week or two later, i actually started reading the first section. unfortunately, i haven't had the patience to get back to reading it because of the fact that it's an ebook (using kindle for iphone), but reading just that first section prompted me to buy three physical copies for these two and my cousin. i really really need to get back to this book because i'm probably missing out on something good, but so many other things on the brain right now...

this is the item from november..? that i mentioned that i was giving to a friend as well. i actually took mine apart and gave a few of the pieces away as gifts, but i really wanted to try the dr. brandt magnetic mask, and i thought this was a pretty good price for all these items. and no, ugh, this is another skincare thing that i haven't tried using yet. #skincarebacklog ....

made an ulta order to try out these new loreal galaxy shadows. they are really pretty. i'm not as huge into full moon (gold one), but the other two...nice! then this tako mask is sooo funny. tako is japanese for octopus..as shown on the packaging, but the actual nose strip is shaped like the white thing on the tako's face. it has a bulby thing above your unibrow and then the nose part has two little wings on each side. it was pretty interesting to use and i liked it! and i also got two morphe brushes to try (M501, M530). i want to say that jaclyn hill mentioned these two as some of her favorites (a looong time ago and i noted them down), so i got them. then i got another impress nail set that i wore around christmas, which were one shine day style. i also wore a different set for new years, the kiss gel fantasy in faux real which for whatever reason i never photographed.. and i don't remember what sets these three liquid lipsticks from colourpop were from, but i bought a bunch as christmas gifts, broke them apart and saved these three for myself.

got a whole lotta random in this photo here! i decided that i haven't been washing my sponges often enough, so i wanted to get another set of real techniques erasers. these were like $2 on amazon from actual amazon (not fulfilled by!). yes, i think i'll take that and get it in two days! next, i actually ordered this with something for my sister in-law's christmas present..from china... i got a dissar purifying peel off mask because, i want to try the 'facebook' black mask. why not? at target, or maybe walmart?, i got the maybelline master prime blur and smooth primer to try. from sephora, i wanted to get the new kat von d studded kiss lipstick in bow n arrow because i really like the liquid lip version. and i think i was trying to use a gift card or use a coupon code or something, so i also got another urban decay vice liquid lipstick in amulet (love it! why's it on clearance?), and i wanted to try the ordinary.'s salicylic acid gel, and a mini belif true cream aqua bomb. and this is not really a haul item, but the lady that cuts my hair passed this hand cream along to my mom for me for christmas. i really need to go visit her again soon! lastly, because i wanted to even though i suck at hand lettering...i bought two more brush pens to play with. (tombow dual ended brush pen N15, zebra brush pen P-WF1)

amulet, bow n arrow (lipstick, liquid lipstick)

another sephora thinnng! i saw this sephora favorites selfie kit and had to get it. the tartiest liner is $24 by itself and it's full size. whatt. the marc jacobs mascara is great! i'm kinda whatever with the milk blur stick, and i'm passing the becca opal along because how many of these things have i ever gotten now... i think we're in the teens now for just opal alone. and i was interested in trying out this powder and liquid lip. as for freebies with purchase(s?), i got two tacha things and a blender cleanser solid mini. the water cream and the deep cleanse. i've tried the water cream maybe twice now, and i was very oily in the morning after, but not overly so. idk. and i haven't tried the cleanser yet. something else i haven't tried yet, but found on clearance at ulta, is this super cute tony moly set, which has a panda's dream cooling eye stick and a pocket bunny perfume bar.

october hauls - planner and makeup

hi guys! here's all the things i got in october!! thankfully i prewrote 90% of this post! w00t. there's a few things i ordered toward the end of october and didn't arrive til november, so they'll be in the november post. ~Lindsay

i wanted to put these early in the post so they're clear and visible -- my ulta packages contained  coupon codes for 30% off soap and glory products (excluding gift sets) through 12/31/17, code: glory30 and 25% off sleek makeup (excluding gift sets) through 12/31/17, code: sleek25. you're welcome!

sephora -- i got sephora collection cream lip stain set to try one or two of these shades, and the others are going into christmas gifts. and i also got the l'occitane holiday crackers set for the same reason because i love their amande and cherry blossom scents. for 100 points i redeemed for a mini of makeup forever's new blush in S214 and urban decay naked skin highlighting fluid in sin. and for the coupon code, i got urban decay's new troublemaker mascara.

S214, blackberry sorbet, blush nude, sin

ulta -- i saw that they had revlon's new holochrome nail polish collection, so i picked up hologasm and fairy dust (blue). they also had benefit's hoola bronzers on sale, so i went ahead and got both the original and lite. and they had maybelline bogo half off, so i got the master precise ink liquid liners in galactic metal and stellar sand. annnd a gift with purchase - garnier moisture bomb.

• update: those polishes are not holo. well the blue one's not a true holo at least. so i returned them both because i was pretty indifferent about them. sorry for not including swatches!

walmart -- got another of the maybelline liners in violet nova, loreal infallible paints metallics eyeshadows in rose chrome, and a biore baking soda acne scrub

violet nova, galactic metal, stellar sand, rose chrome

ulta -- so, uhm, someone caved. i'm not going to bother swatching this out since there's like a gazillion photos and videos of this palette, but morphe is now carried at ulta and i ordered the jaclyn hill palette because discount code.

shoes! got a pair of feelgoodz slimz in cloud, heard about this brand in one of my college classes because my professor taught the founder/owner of the company. and these are super comfortable and i do recommend them! i also got two pairs of shoes from payless, a pair of dexflex bow wedges and christian siriano flats.

planner stuffs -- here's the link to my etsy list of purchased planner stuff
went a lil washi crazy at hobby lobby, and grabbed some metallic gel pens. also, i got this plaid washi at the target dollar spot in september, but it didn't fit in with any of the photos i took for that post, so i didn't mention it.

so. i made a few pbc orders. and i got a lotsa freebies in the process. >w<
