Collective Drugstore Haul

I feel like it's been forever since I have been able to sit down and write a post. So today I will be sharing a haul I've gathered the past few days. New home means fresh new makeup!

The lighting on this one is a bit poor, but I am happy to say, our new home has a ton of windows, which means more natural lighting!! Also, everything you see in these two photos I had bought from Target.

I have a bit of a problem.. Or at least that's what my bf says. I've been cut off for a lil bit 

(LOL). In this photo everything was from CVS. I've been on the hunt for the Maybelline's The Smokes Palette, but sadly so far no luck. 

The first thing I got was Covergirls Clump Crusher Mascara with a Perfect Pointplus self-sharpening eye pencil. I've heard a bit about this mascara, and although I don't usually try to many, the name it self sounded good! As for the eye liner, the total came to a dollar more if I got the one without it, so why not(;

Everyone and their mom knows how much I love blush, and when I can find a good blush for a great price, you know I'm all over it! E.l.f's studo blushes are really nice with very little fallout, and awesome payoff for being only $3! I couldn't decide between the two so I got both. Left is Fuchsia Fusion and the right is Tickled pink, even though it looks for

more peachy in the picture.

Sorry for the odd ball lol. I don't exactly have a set place for pictures yet. But these are the three foundations I've been wanting to try.

First is the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. I believe I got this in the lightest shade 110 Porcelain. 

Next is the Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation which I've heard sooooo many great things about. I wasn't sure which shade to get so I actually picked up two, 105 Classic Ivory and 110 Creamy Natural. 

And lastly, the L'Oreal Visible Lift Blur Foundation with Opti-Blur Technology in the shade Classic Ivory. I've heard many many different opinions on this, so I'm not really sure what to expect. 

If anyone has tried this before, tell me how you liked it!(:

Lately I've been really loving that "dewy"/"satin" finish, so I've been skipping my usual finishing powders. I absolutely love L'Oreals Luminous Foundation, so I decided to give this a try. And if Jaclyn Hill loves it, then that's good enough reason for me to try(;

This one isn't new, but a repurchase for me. Y'all know I can't get enough of this concealer!

This is the Sonia Kashuk Correct and Conceal Palette. I really want to try to the Mac one, however, I can't see spending $40 on that. This was only $12, and I've heard it's very similar. Maybe in the late future I'll budge for the higher end one!

These were believe it or not, more of an impulse buy. I never and I mean NEVER buy single eyeshadows. I was really hoping to find The Smokes Palette, this was the third store I have tried and still no luck. When I saw these, I remembered an instagram picture I had seen with all the pretty shades in line, and they looked soo pretty! As soon as I remembered that, I picked a few of my favorite colors, and went on my way. I guess my bf is right.. I do have a problem (woops)..

Well that is it for todays haul! I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend!

Have you tired any of the products mentioned above?

If so, tell me your thoughts/opinions!(:

Mine Haul!

Hey everyone! I feel like it's been for ever since I did one of these, or even bought anything. LOL. But today I wanted to share with you a few things I purchased while I was out and about today!

I told you it was a very small haul. And I have to say, I'm pretty happy with myself! I literally have not bought any beauty related products in a month, which was not easy let me tell you! But I feel like I did pretty darn good. 

I've had my eye on the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation for so long know. It's funny though, Covergirl was the very first brand I had ever tried when I first started wearing makeup. Thanks to my mother (that was the only brand she ever used). And since then, I haven't worn anything of Covergirl, though I'm not really sure why? 

I've heard and read sooo many great reviews on this foundation. Some even going as far to say this is their holy grail. Which, you know when you hear that you automatically HAVE to try it. For me at least anyway.

I wasn't sure which shade to get. I was torn between Ivory and Classis Ivory. Which, Classic Ivory is the one I decided to go with.Thankfully, if it doesn't match well, I can always return it!(:

This is actually the second L'Oreal mascara I've bought. I usually go for Rimmel, because that's my favorite brand, but when I saw *False Fiber Lash*, I was instantly pulled in! I never knew drugstore brands made fiber mascaras. So of course I had to get it! I definitely plan on doing a review on this, so keep a look out!

So these babys are the whole reason I went out in the first place. First off, these are so not easy to find. I had no idea where to look, and tried everyplace I could think of. The only place that never did come to mind were health food stores. Which of course was the very last place I looked and found them! As you can see, I bought 100% Pure Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Oil. 

The reason why I wanted these so bad, is because one day browsing Pinterest, I came across something called the Oil Cleansing Method. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but basically, it's when you wash your face with oil versus your normal typical everyday cleansers. I know, weird and super scary, but I do plan on making a whole post about it!

But these two particular oils are supposed to be very good for those with oily and acne prone skin. And I've been going through a horrible acne breakout the past few months, I'm willing to try anything at this point. So far nothing has worked for me, but I do promise to write a more indepth post on this later!

That is all for now, I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend!

Have you heard/tried the Oil Cleansing Method?

If so, what was your experience?

I would love to hear about them!(:

Mini Sephora haul

To go along with my late weekend post is a mini Sephora haul! If you read my last post, you would know that this was my first time in Sephora. Since I had a some extra money left from my last high end purchase, I decided to pick up a few new things.

I decided to pick up three items. 

• Benefits PoreFessional

• The Original Beauty Blender

• Smashbox Photo Finish Primer sample

I have heard soooo many great things about Benefits PoreFessional throughout the beauty community. Everyone has raved about this like it's this miracle worker, so natually you have to try. 

I've been dying to try this out for the simple fact it claims to "hide" your pores. (Um yes please!) I have rather large pores, I absolutely hate it. So I'm really excited to use this! For the price though ($31), I'll certainly be kicking myself if it doesn't.

Everyone and their mom has heard about and probably tried the beloved Original Beauty Blender. I don't know what shocked me more; the total price of everything together, or the fact this was the biggest size the beauty blenders came in. Everytime I've seen people show these on youtube, they looked so much bigger. I know what your thinking, that I seen it when it was wet. Yes I have, but I have also seen this when still in it's original packaging. I just really felt like it seemed much bigger. 

Until now, I didn't get why everyone was so up on the price ($20). But, now I get to see for myself what all the fuss is about (and if the price is really worth it)! 

The last thing I picked up was the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. I decided to go with the sample size so I can see if I liked it enough to repurchase. I'm not sure how much the normal size one is, but this sample size was $15. 

This too was a very raved product, and since I've been on a primer kick I wanted to try this too! 

So that was my mini haul, reviews will be coming soon! I hope you enjoyed(:

Have you tried either of these products? 

What were your thoughts? 

I'd love to hear about them! (:
