New Haul Yay!!!!

This is obviously a very small haul but I love doing them and sharing them with you guys.  

First thing is the Ulta Extreme Wear Matte Finish Mousse in Natural Buff.  Sorry about this picture it is terrible quality.  I went to Ulta and was looking through the clearance and found this for $2.99.  I was needing some new foundation so I decided to give this a try.  And I loved it.  It blended so well and left me matte all day.  Of course it is very thick but does not leave you cakey at all.  I really liked this because I have huge pores on my nose and this seemed to make them much smaller looking.  I liked this so much I went and purchased another.  However, after wearing this for a week I noticed I started breaking out really bad so sadly I can not wear this anymore.

Way back in May I took part in a facebook rewards system with Garnier and I was able to spend my reward points to get 6 full size Garnier BB Cream.  I waited for ever for this to come.  And it finally came. Because of the delay they sent a few samples.  Wanna learn more about this product go to my review here.

I have read so much about these lately so I had to try it.  And of course I love it.  It is the Jordana 12 hour eyeliner pencil in black.  They are so soft they just glide on and the pencil does not lie.  This does stay on for 12 hours.  I love to use this on my lower waterline. I have really watery eyes and this lasts forever.  I do notice a little build up in my inner corner but nothing to bad.  

While I was at Walgreens I noticed they had a sale on the wet n wild and saw this beautiful color.  I love the wet n wild Idol eyes in 133 Techno so I had to give this a try.  These are so creamy and are great for a base or just by themselves.This is the color 130 Pixie it is the most beautiful champagne color ever.  It is very shimmery.  I find myself reaching for this constantly I think I am obsessed.

Naked Palette Dupes! Wet n wild Nude Awakening.

I promised I would put up this post a while back.  So here it is.

When I found out about this limited Edition palette I was so excited.  I love wet n' wild eye shadows and I have been wanting to get the Naked Palette for a while.  So for me it was a score!

Here is the Naked palette.

And here is the Nude Awakening palette.  If you do not have this palette I would suggest you go find it.  This palette is the Spring Limited Edition palette but I still find it in some Rite Aid.  This palette is $4.99 and there seems to always be a sale at least at one of the drugstores.

A couple of the colors don't exactly match the naked palette but when used on the eye you cant really tell the difference if that makes any sense.

August favorites!

August just so happens to be my favorite month. Not only is it summer time but it is my birthday month. My birthday was the 20th. I had an amazing time. We went to a lake for some swimming and fun in the sun. We went rock hunting with the kids which was a blast. I have been so busy these past few weeks. It seems like my entire family has their birthday's all at the same time. My Dad, Mother In-law, My husband, and 2 friends are just this month. So lets get started with my other favorites.

First I have the Revlon Lipgloss in 170 Coral Reef.  I love this color and it is perfect for summer or I like to use when I have an intense eye look like the smokey eyes.

I have started to reach for this color again wore it all the time when I first got it but stopped for some reason. I love how creamy this is and it is not drying and I have really dry lips so I don't need anything to add to it.  I use this under the lipgloss.

I have been using this in my day and night routine.  This stuff in amazing and does not seem to go really fast. Completely worth the $3.

I have been using this palette like crazy you can do pretty much any eye look with these colors.  This is probably the only eye shadows I have used in all the month of August.  Love these.

I have noticed I have become more oily than normal.  I tend to be dry in the T-zone but oily every where else.  So I was first concerned that this would dry me out more in my T-zone but it does not.  It does seem to help a little with the oil but it does not make my rosacea flair up which I love.   I will continue to use this.

As some of you may know I have wanted to try this stuff for a while now.  My husband got it for me for my birthday.  I was so excited to try it.  And I have no complaints.  This stuff takes off my makeup with little product and is very gentle to the eyes and my rosacea.
