[haul post a bit late due to hurricane isaac and postal carriers]
hey guys! so i'm super excited to share a few things that i've got. ~L-c ^.~
in august, they had a
groupon* for
diamond candles, $15 for $30 (exc. ship). these candles are $25 each, and shipping cost varies pending on how many you purchase (see
chart). it sucked because i didn't read that it wouldn't cover the $5 shipping for one candle, so i actually paid $20 for this candle, bummer. the only reason why i got one was because the whole concept behind it was crazy to me and i wanted to try it out. i don't really plan on getting more of these because they're pretty expensive. but, like i said, interesting concept: they put a ring inside the candle that is worth anywhere from $10-1000, which is totally crazy. the weird, discolored thing in the second picture toward the top of the diamond picture is where my ring is. the scent of this one is amazing; it's as if i'm eating a fresh watermelon! when i burn the candle down enough to take the ring out, i'll update you guys!
target/cvs: got revlon's colorstay whipped foundation in natural beige (which is perfect match by the way!) (~$12) and a few of maybelline's colorshow nail polishes (~$4 ea). two are limited editions that came out with the
new color tattoos, avante green & pink cosmo; and metallics: blue blowout & navy narcissist. i also stumbled upon some cute vaseline lip balms. these are totally awesome, i went and got another for my mother in-law and in the process, found that there's also a cocoa butter one. they're about $1.80 (at target in the cosmetics section) and i love it! please note that these are made by vaseline, the petroleum jelly company, and as such, these contain no spf and the petroleum amplifies the absorption of the sun's harmful rays! but otherwise, they feel very nice, long lasting, and the cocoa butter one has a nice scent to it.

sephora.com/benefitcosmetics.com -- so benefit was having a sale a few weeks ago, so i ordered a thrrrob ($21 w/ tax & free ship), and tokidoki is leaving sephora and i wanted the luminosa powder, but i could only find it online. so i spent a bit more on sephora's site to get the free shipping; rather than $8+$6ship for one powder.
tkdk: luminosa powder (kabuki) & inferno bronzer (diavolina) --$8 ea

candles by victoria: for august, victoria had a 20% off sale for one of her daughter's birthdays. i took the opportunity to order some candles for xmas presents and here's my portion of the order! >.< morning in madrid was my free tart, but all of these smell amazing. i love them! (the pretty box is from
the candle crate; she ships her candles in these!)
too faced's vintage sale: on the prowl set - $13 (discontinued). includes peach/candy/pink leopard palette, a sample of primed & poreless, a flatbuki brush, and cougar lipstick. so you guys know how much i love pink leopard, and for less than half the price of a full-sized one, i got to try all three of these! candy leopard is not permanent, and from what i can tell, it's only in this set. cougar is a dusty rose, brown-bronze color. it looks a bit odd on my lips---like a vegas-looking shiny bronze, but the swatch is very pretty.
