Random Purchases

Sunday, April 22, 2012

For the month of April, Walgreens is having a sale for some Wet n Wild products. All products that were originally 99 cents now cost 69 cents. I purchased three polishes in the colors tickled pink, white creme, and dreamy poppy. I had used wet n wild polishes back in high school and I really liked them. So if the formula is still the same, then they should be decent polishes.
I also bought two Roc anti wrinkle treatment products. Both the Deep Wrinkle Serum and the Deep Wrinkle Night Cream were sold together for only a total of 25 dollars (even though the package says 22 dollars). Originally they are 22 dollars each!! I hope these two products work well for me!

I Love to Buy Things I Don't Need

I was at Walgreens and picked up the Wet n Wild Walking on Eggshells eyeshadow palette. The YouTube makeup gurus all rave about Wet n Wild shadows so I decided to try one.

Wet n Wild 380B Walking on Eggshells Eyeshadow
Price: $2.99

Swatches without flash

As you can see from the swatches, they are all shimmer shadows. They are very pretty colors. The pink shade is a pink that actually works well on my skin tone. The other pinks I tried made me look like I had eye infections. The crease color also works well with my skin tone. Its very easy to work with this color and I really like it a lot. The brow bone white color is nice, but I wish it was matte. All the colors of this palette are shimmery.

With flash

As you can see from these pics, the pink did not show up much. You can see it better in person, but it is still a very nice, subtle pink.

At Walgreens, I also purchased the Loreal Magic Perfecting Base. I had decided to start using primer again because the weather is getting warmer and my skin is getting even more oily and making my pores look disgustingly huge. I decided to get this Loreal primer because I heard some good things about it. This face primer has a very interesting texture. It kind of has a combination of gel-like and mousse-like texture, very hard to describe. It is kind of thick but once it is evenly spread on the face, it feels very light. It instantly mattifies the skin when you put it on. As the day went on, my skin was slightly less oily than usual, but it was still oily. I still really like the primer, though, because it hid my pores really well and it was also able to smooth out my skin so much that it was much easier to apply my foundation.

I went to H&M to return my mom's shirt and of course I had to get something for myself while I was there. I saw a whole rack of cropped tops and the color I liked the most was this one. I want to go back and get the light peach colored one though!

February Finds

Friday, March 2, 2012

For my first post I had no idea what to write about. So instead, I decided to share what items I've bought recently: accessories from Forever 21 and various lip products, some of which I am currently obsessed with.

Forever21

$4.80

I would probably wear this once spring comes. I see myself wearing this with my floral dresses, floral tops or in the summer, with bold wild prints.

Forever21

$3.80

I absolutely adore this ring! Definitely going to be wearing this when spring rolls around.

Forever 21

$5.80

Okay, so in my opinion this ring is more masculine. I only bought this ring because as many of my friends know, I'm a huge Vampire Diaries fan. This ring was similar to Stefan & Damon's sunlight ring.

Nyx Mega Shine Lip Gloss

$2.99

159 Smokey Look

Shirley actually suggested I buy this. This wasn't as sticky as the usual lip glosses and it felt nice on the lips, nothing too heavy. It gives your lips a great shine. The color was okay, a peachy pink color. It didn't wow me but I would definitely say it was worth it for the price.

Nyx Lipstick

Chaos 511

$2.99

I LOVE THIS COLOR. It's a bright red with a slight pink hue. It's so bold and it actually looks really decent on me. I've been trying so hard to find a good RED Lip color and I found it! I also love the Revlon Lip butter Red Velvet, which is another awesome deep Red, but i felt like Red Velvet was more of a fall color. Chaos, I can definitely see myself wearing it in Spring and Summer also.

Wet N Wild Megashield Lip Color

It's a Girl

$2.99

Saw this in a video from a make up guru but I forgot which one. She recommended this so I decided to try it out. This was.. not as great as I thought. I think the color of this lipstick is pretty pigmented. I only needed 1 to 2 coats. It was a pretty barbie pink. This is not hydrating like the Revlon Lip Butters and also, the packaging is not great. You can't twist the lipstick all the way down so I find it hard not to dirty the inside of the cap when I cap it back on.

Left to Right: Chaos, Smokey Look, It's a Girl

This is a very quick swatch and it isn't a good one, I apologize. That is how the colors look like on my skin tone. I love Chaos! But the other colors are also great, more tame. I would definitely recommend these to anyone. They are good products that are affordable and do not put a dent in your wallet.
