Sunday Fun Day - It's A Haul!

Hey there!

Just FYI, this is a haul over a 2 week period. I've been picking up random things here and there and now, I'm finally ready to share them with you!

I've mentioned in an empties that I enjoying adding lavender Epsom salts to my bath. I normally pick up smaller packs from Dollar Tree but the Target Up and Up brand was a good deal. I'll try them out but I can't imagine that it's any different than the Dollar Tree one.

Yep! I picked up another pack of Pure & Gentle Make-up Remover Wipes from Walmart. I have really begun to like these! They are nice and wet and most days I can use 1 wipe and get off all of my makeup. They aren't better than my Wet n Wild makeup wipes but they are a verrrrrry close second. And, the price is right.

I found Honeymania shower gel from The Body Shop at my local Marshalls. I've mentioned that any time I see a shower gel from The Body Shop, I am going to grab it. They smell so good and they lather so well. They had a peach one but I've already sniffed that one so I wanted to try a new one.

Also at Marshalls I found an Essie nail polish in Using My Maiden Name. It appears to be a beautiful, slightly iridescent light purple. I also got a purple from NYC at Walmart. Purple Pizzazz Frost is a darker iridescent purple. I also picked up Strip Me Off by NYC. It's a base coat that you can peel off. I thought this would be great with any glitter polish that I use.

And, I lucked up during a Dollar Tree trip. I found 2 Milani Liquid Lip Colors. Neither of them have a name so I have to go with "the brown one" and "the fuchsia one". Perfect names in my opinion.

See, I didn't pickup much. I could have picked up quite a bit more but I really wanted to scale back my purchases. I went into Ulta and came out with nothing. NOTHING! I also went into the makeup section of Kohls and came away with .... NOTHING! See, I'm doing well.

But, why I scaled down my purchases, I'm not going to never purchase anything else. You know I'm not going to do that! What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't buy things to blog about??

It's A Haul Y'all! - Nail Polish

Hey there!

I'm not ready to talk about it yet! The weekend isn't over and I have a feeling I will end up BACK at a Sephora this weekend. Stop sucking in your teeth!

What I did do is use some of my CVS cash to pick up some nail polish over the past few weeks. I don't like to leave CVS bucks on the table so what better way to use them than with more beauty products. I decided to splurge on my Sally Hansen products and get 2 from the Salon Manicure line. Those are the ones that are always about $7.79. CVS had a buy $10 worth and get $2 off and I had to use my $6 CVS bucks that day or lose them. So, that made them $3.79 each. I picked up Ruby Do and So Much Fawn. So pretty, don't you think?

I took a trip to a different Wal-Mart and found some really cute NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel colors. NYC has really good polish and I try make sure to look and verify that I have all the ones I like. They are always $.93 or less at Wal-Mart so you really can't go wrong trying a new color. I picked up Lexington Lilac and Wine Bar. I thought that Wine Bar would be my favorite of the two colors but just look at that lilac color! That's a warm color that I can wear this fall for sure! I'm so glad I bought that one.

I always keep my eyes peeled when walking through the Dollar Tree. You just don't know what you'll find in there. This time I found an old Wet n Wild, Wild Shine in Hallucinate. There are a lot of sparkles in it and it almost does as good a job as my China Glaze in Travel in Color, but not quite.

I don't think that I mentioned my Nicole by OPI find. What's the Mitch-uation was a color from their Modern Family Line. I found mine at Marshalls for $2.99. It's pretty but I can't say it's as pretty as I thought it would be. We'll see what I think when it's on my fingers.

And a super quick Sephora mention. Yesterday when I went in the store (don't you dare judge me! It's 20% off people!), I swung past the clearance section. I wanted to make sure that I had all of the $.99 cent nail polish that they had. I apparently had missed one so I spent $.79 on this bottle of polish in Mystic Gothic. Pretty huh? Worth $.79, so going into the store was a good idea, huh?! (Well, no, I spent waaaay more than $.79 but we aren't here to talk about that).

And that's what I've added to the polish collection over the last month (not including the colors from my Ipsy bag). Only 7 polishes in a month. That's pretty good for me! I'm proud of myself!

What have you been buying to wrap your fingernails and toe nails in? Have they been splurges or cheap goodies?
