Haul - Ulta, Walgreens, and Sally Beauty Supply

Hello all,

It was another stressful week that ended better than the last but I still have lot of things going through my head about what the next few months are going to be like and a potential new opportunity might present itself soon...so we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out. If there's anything I've learned is always be prepared for the worst, especially when you have to deal with people you can't trust.

I got a few random things that I picked up here and there in the past week so I wanted to share with you what's coming up.

From Ulta

• Essence All About Nude Eyeshadow palette, $4.99
• Essence All About Candies Eyeshadow palette, $4.99
• Pixel Pro Eyeshadow Charming, $.99
• Pixel Pro Eyeshadow Endearing, $.99
• Pixel Lip Butter Gorgeous, $1.49
• Pixel Lip Butter Serene, $1.49

I couldn't help myself but purchase of few of these Pixel makeup since they were on sale for so cheap.

From Walgreens

Spotted some new goodies at Walgreens and I was curious to try them out.

• Finger Paints Daubigny's Garden, $4.99...OMG I couldn't help myself but fall in love instantly when I first saw it. Look at that glimmer!
• Beautique Lip Liner Currant, $1.79. This was kind of an impulse purchase just because it was on sale, lol. 

Collective Haul...A little bit of everything

Here's a random haul from a few different stores with items I picked up within the past couple of weeks.

I'm so glad that we now have a Nordstrom Rack in town and I finally got a chance to check it out. I was in a bit of a hurry at the time so I only got to check out the beauty section. I picked up this Essie Nail polish in the shade Sable Collar and Urban Decay nail polish in addiction.

From Sally Beauty Supply:

• Out the Door top coat ($4.99) 
• China Glaze Loco-Motive ($3.29). Found this at the clearance section. 
• Orly Mirrorball ($6.79). I found this at another Sally store. It is part of their 2014 holiday collection. 
• Orly nail lacquer remover (free with purchase of an Orly nail polish)
• A twizzer ($0.99)

From Ulta:

• Essence All About Sunrise Eyeshadow palette ($4.99). I was intrigued by this new palette from Essence. Just thought I had to try it. 
• Essence Effect Nail Polish Glitz & Glam ($2.99). Another cute glittery shimmery nail polish for me to play with. 
• OPI Comet in the Sky (2 for $16.00). This is from their new Holiday collection with Gwen Stefani.  
• OPI Snowglobetrotter

Burlington Coat Factory Haul:

• Ciate Tree Trinket set ($14.99). How cute is this set?!! Each of these mini glitter polishes come inside a clear ornament. Perfect for stocking stuffers. 
• Tres Chic Collection Bag Hanger ($6.99). I thought it was so pretty and figure I should get one to give away as gift and keep another one for my greedy self, lol. 
• Tres Chic Collection Bling Pen ($6.99). This was the last one that they had on display. I was pretty disappointed cause I wanted one for myself too. 
• ELF crystal eyeshadow brush ($1.99). It's super cute and so affordable. It's dense and just the right size for eyeshadow application. 

Rue 21 haul:

• 2 Rolls of Nail Foil ($3.99)
• 3 Pack Nail Art Wheel ($6.99)
• Pink Ice Multi (2 for $5.00)
• Pink Ice Multi Dark

Alright...that's it for now. Will have more to show once I receive my Black Friday goodies.

Sally Beauty Haul

Happy Sunday! 

I hope you're having a lovely weekend. Last night, it snowed pretty heavily and we ended up with 6 inches of snow. Not in the mood to be outside for sure. I've yet to clean up my car and dig it out of the parking stall so that I don't have to do that in the morning tomorrow before going to work. 

I stopped by Sally Beauty Supply a few days ago. I wished I had waited till this weekend because they currently have nail polishes on BOGO free and the sale ends today. 

I intended to grab a hair conditioner but mistakenly got the shampoo, lol. I hate it when the shampoo and conditioner bottles look the same. 

The main reason I had to go there was that I needed a nail polish thinner. I'm about to run out and needed a back up asap. I have some nail polishes that could use some thinner as they are either starting to feel drier or they are a little goopy and need to be thinned out. I've seen some people use nail polish remover to revive their nail polishes. I've never tried it but it must somehow work for people to do that. I heard it could ruin your nail polish so I'm not taking chances. This bottle cost $3.79 with Sally Beauty Club Card and trust me, it is going to last a very long time since you only need a few drops at a time. 

I saw these two Hair One conditioner trial packages and figure wanted to give them a try to see if I like them. They're about a dollar each.

Golden Kisses, Kiss by the Tree, Sparkle in the Sky

And of course, I couldn't help myself but scoop some sparkly nail polishes. Stay tuned for swatches. 

Macabre Masquerade

TJ Maxx Haul + China Glaze

Apparently the Sephora VIB sale is coming up this week on November 7th and I still haven't received my VIB invite or email! I wonder if it will come in the mail at the last minute or after it has started but it bugs me that I haven't received it by now. Some of the stuff I wanted, I have pinned it on my Wishlist Board on Pinterest but I have to think really hard about what I'm really going to get. I have to try really hard not to break the bank, lol.

Anyhoo, I did a little bit of shopping last Friday. It was payday and I had a lousy day so I needed a pick me up retail therapy. I stopped by TJ Maxx and Sally Beauty Supply on my way home from work.

I don't know about you guys but I'm addicted to getting these nail polish deals at TJ. I got this set of Nicole by OPI for just $5.99. A present to myself, hehe.

Going to run out of my night time cream soon so when I saw the Shiseido Night Moisture Recharge at TJ for just $24.99. I felt like it was the perfect time to get it. Normally retails for $42.50 so it was hard to ignore the sale price.

Korres Pomegranate Mattifying Treatment, $6.99. I've never purchased a full size of Korres products but I've tried some samples. What raised my interest was that it is a mattifying treatment and I tend to get oily on my T-zone so I'm excited to give this a try and see how that works out. It retails for $38.00, another score and I probably wouldn't have picked it up at the regular price.

The new holiday set from China Glaze are now available at Sally Beauty Supply. The only one that I thought was nice is Be Merry Be Bright (on the left). It's a mix of fuchsia and purple glitters in a clear base. Travel in Colour is a frosty shimmery white with blue and pink shimmers. I don't know if that was part of the holiday collection but Sally had a bunch of these mini bottles.

That's it for my little haul. What are you planning to get on the VIB sale?

Haul - Sally Beauty Supply, Walgreens, and TJ Maxx

TGIF and I have the day off to just chill. I know I've been slacking off on my my blog lately but I've been feeling pretty exhausted these past few days as well with all these stuff going on at work.

I did manage to make a few shopping trips in the past few days so here's what I picked up...

From Sally Beauty Supply

• Ion Repair Solution Conditioner, Free (typically retails for $5.99). My Sally Beauty membership expires this month so I decided to renew. It's $5.00 to renew but you get back $5.00 in coupon to be used on your next purchase and you get to select one of a few haircare product for free. So basically, the membership pays for itself and you get a freebie so you are really getting more bang for your buck. On top of that, you also get membership discounts for a year. 
• Orly Melodious Utopia, on clearance for $3.99. This polish has a very pretty but subtle pink shimmer to it. 
• Hairtrition Bodifying shampoo, on clearance for $3.99. I thought the nutrition facts on the packaging was pretty cool and it smells sooooo good! I might have to go back and grab more of these if I can still find it on clearance. 
• Mambo 3-Way Buffer, $2.49. I like the ergonomic shape of this nail buffer. It blends, smooth, and shine. Buffing your nails helps make nail polish application smoother. 
• Teasing comb, $1.79. 

Walgreens Haul

• All Sally Hansen nail treatment products are on sale for 50% off this week. After scoping out the sale rack, I decided to get the Healthy Cuticles Now Vitamin Treatment and the Hard as Wraps Strength Treatment. 
• I also spotted a few new Sally Hansen Sugar Coat polishes but I was immediately drawn to Royal Icing. Ahh it's so pretty in the bottle. It's baby blue and has pretty pink and gold sparkles. 

TJ Maxx Haul

• I spotted quite a few Sparitual polishes at TJ so you might wanna check your local TJ if they have some. They normally retail for $10.00 but TJ has them for $3.99 each.
• I got two pairs of sandals, which I am excited about because they look adorable. Since my ankle is not completely healed, it's safer for me to wear flat shoes. Yes, it would be better for me to wear more comfortable shoes with a little more arch but I have a hard time finding one that I like. 
• The first pair is a nude/light peachy coral strap sandals from Bandolino ($24.99). I normally wear size 8 but since they didn't have it, I opted for 7 1/2 which still fits but the 8 would have been better. I always look for sandals that have a padded insoles and this one has. 
• The second pair is a wedge sandal from Tommy Hilfiger. I got it on clearance for $20.00. It was hard to pass at that price. It does have a bit of damage on the sole where the fabric came off a little but that doesn't bother me because it won't be visible once I wear them. The design is super cute and totally my style. The heel is actually not too high or straining on the feet so I might just be able to wear it. If not then for next summer. I love the color. 

That's it for now. I'm expecting a package this weekend so there'll be another haul coming soon.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sally Beauty Clearance Haul

Hello Beautifuls,

I've been MIA for the past few days but that's mainly because I've been doing extra time at work and too tired to blog. Nonetheless, even when I am not posting anything, I'm still organizing and prepping a few things behind the scene so that when I have a bit more time, I can get my post up quicker.

I had to do some grocery shopping last night and I decided to stop by Sally Beauty Supply just to see what else is new. Well, they had quite a few nice things on clearance so I scored some great deals on these items that I picked up.

One of the main reason I stop by Sally Beauty is for nail polishes, lol...From left to right:

• Orly Angel Eyes, $3.99
• Finger Paints Elves Bells, $3.29
• Finger Paints Santa's Magic, $3.29
• Seche Vite Collage Overlay, $5.99. This one was not on clearance but I thought the glitters looked fun and it was labeled as limited edition.

The pack of China Glaze Holiday duo polishes included Red Satin, Winter Holly, and a small and cute picture holder. I'm most excited about Winter Holly. I would have bought it separately if I was able to get in on clearance individually but this set cost me only $4.49, so that was still a steal for 3 items.

Spotted this Finger Paints caviar beads called Candy Drops. This was not on clearance but I thought the mix of colors were so cute, I picked it up anyways. This was $4.49.

These new magnet designs were on clearance for $3.79 so I figure why not.

I love shopping the clearance sales at Sally. Sometimes, when I see a nail color that I like but don't feel like I need it right away, I just wait until it goes on clearance.

Have you bought any new polishes lately? BTW, before I forget, starting tomorrow you can pick up your 3 free Zoya polishes. They have a new promo coming out. For details, please follow this link http://zoyanailpolish.blogspot.com/2013/01/color-your-world-in-2013-with-zoya-nail.html
