march hauls

 
it's the end of the month, and that means it's march hauls time! woohoo! as mentioned in my birthday post, i bought a few other things with the money and gift cards i received. i gots a lotta goodies and pretties! ~Lin-chan ^.~

body shop: they were having a crazy ridiculous deal, buy three get three free, free shipping, and a free hand cream when you spend $50. uhh, hello. yes. i got a few olive scented products and some tea tree oil products.


z palette: used my birthday coupon on 2 xl palettes
bath and body works: travel shower gel in wild madagascar vanilla (freebie with a coupon!)
beautylish: bioderma micellar water duo, parian spirit set

sam's club: 3pk simple cleansing wipes
sally's: acetone, mystic divine nourishing oil treatment
ulta: essence silky touch blush in adorable, body shop shower gels in peach and grapefruit, ulta birthday eyeshadow palette in indie


indie palette (swatched over elf essential eye primer), adorable

nyx cosmetics: prismatic eyeshadows in bedroom eyes, golden peach, liquid gold; powder blushes in mocha and rose garden, high voltage lipstick in tiara, and wicked lippy in power. somehow their lip pencil in earth tone ended up in my box (freebie?)..but it looks really brown for me, so i'll probably pass it off.

golden peach, liquid gold, bedroom eyes (all swatched dry); rose garden, mocha

power -- totally would have rocked this in middle or high school

tiara -- this shade photographs really nicely, but in real life it's a lot pinker on me, closer to my arm swatch

sephora: bite beauty march 2015 limited lab release lipstick (chilly pepper), sephora collection solid brush cleaner, mufe artist shadows in ME612, S556, I628 (three of the four in the 50 shades give into me set, the fourth is I514--which i already bought), koh gen do pure cotton (to try it out), redeemed points for marc jacobs beauty highliner gel eye crayon in blacquer

ME612, S556, I628 (swatched dry); blacquer

bite march lipstick - chilly pepper: full color, this is sooo me, lemme tell ya.. i think i prefer it sheered out.

makeup geek: soft dome brush, pointed crease brush, shadow pans in: pretentious, barcelona beach, beaches and cream

beaches and cream, barcelona beach, pretentious (all swatched dry)

bbb: (press on nails) broadway impress in shimmer, fing'rs prints in on the dot
  1. i've been reluctant to try the fing'rs ones because when you buy them, they only have the small nails on top, which makes it seem like it's for kids. but the larger nails (thumbs, etc) are on a sheet below. also, since this set has the little heart charms, it comes with additional adhesive strips for them. these nails have the adhesive already applied to them, without a backing, and you just press them on and go. see my impressions/review here.
  2. unfortunately, i bought this set of broadway impress nails like two days before i heard about the recent controversy -- stealing blogger nail art designs without consent and selling them in press-on form. fortunately, a nude glitter is not owned by anyone... 


ulta: simple skincare cleansing wipes 2 pack, ulta illuminating powder in pink diamond, eyeshadow in sandstone, cotton rounds, freebie ulta bag-o goodies, and dr. teal's foaming bath in eucalyptus spearmint
  • i was actually trying to buy a hairdryer and i threw in all this stuff to get to $50 and free shipping...but that was a fail and it was out of stock. at the very least, they charged me just for these items and still gave me free shipping. but sadface that their site doesn't always reflect unavailable products.


sandstone (swatched dry), pink diamond

mac cosmetics: bao bao wan jewels veluxe pearlfusion shadow palette

[swatched over elf essential eye primer]

ulta: lorac pro to go palette & freebie mini porefection face primer, philosophy microdelivery exfoliating wash, freeman beauty sweet tea and lemon peel away clay mask, nyx hd blushes in intuition and hamptons
cvs: almay clear complexion concealer (unpackaged), loreal infallible eye crayon in always aqua

always aqua, hamptons, intuition

pro to go: pearl, chai, mink, shell, cafe, black

pro to go: coral, pink, bronze

Philosophy @ Big Lots


went out and about with sharon today to drop off the flower baskets at the florist and went dollar-store type shopping in the same strip mall and happened upon philosophy cosmetics over at big lots---as cosmeticsaficionado mentioned the other day. i didn't buy one of everything because i wasn't super interested in all the products they had, but i did buy a shimmering face powder. all of the philosophy cosmetics at big lots are $3!! check out cosmeticsaficionado's post and your nearest big lots if you're interested! ~L-c ^.~
