(I just realized how difficult it is for me to keep up with blogging)

These are the most recents items I picked up from the drugstore and Ulta.


I mostly picked these up because of the flavors. I haven't used "Chapstick" brand lip balm since I was younger. But these were just too cute! Even though I love red velvet cake, this doesn't smell like it. The scent reminds me of gummy candy. The 'Cake Batter' flavor, I'm liking more because it smells exactly like a cupcake! Both were 99 cents btw.

Chapstick

I only really got this because I need a new base coat and top coat. This came with a double pack for 5 bucks.

Nutra Nail Bullet-Proof Strength base and top coat

I've tried white eyeliner on my waterline before and it looked fake. But I saw ThatsHeart using this and I've been looking around for affordable nude eyeliners and I saw this at Walmart for around 3 bucks. I already own the black khol one and I really like it. This goes really nicely on the waterline and stays for a good amount of time. All I need to do is actually get used to the way it looks on me. It really does 'open up the eyes' and make them a lot brighter.

ScandalEyes Waterproof Khol Kajal Eyeliner

The Ulta I go to finally stocked up on this brush. I really wanted it because Tanya Burr likes using this to apply foundation. And these are the kinds of brushes I like to use as well. I was also going to get the stipple brush with the purple handle but it looked too much like my Sonia Kashuk multifunction brush (I'm not sure what the exact name is, but it's a small flat top brush). Knowing me though, I'm most likely going to get it anyway. Plus I really like the powder brush and blush brush from the line.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush $9.99

This mask is just simply amazing. If you use the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle like I do, this is basically that but better. And I don't know if it's a difference or not, but this product is a mask. I heard some leave it on as an overnight treatment but it says on the bottle to leave it for 7 to 10 minutes. The first time I used it, I noticed a major difference on my hair. It felt really soft and I couldn't stop running my fingers through it. I got the tube version 1. Because it was cheaper (I couldn't fork up the 33 dollars, yet), this 3.3 oz tube was 15 dollars and 2. Because I think it'll be easier to dispense the product out. You really don't need a lot and I don't want to get water in the tub version of this (which has about 8.4 oz).  I'm for sure going to use this once a week because I don't want my hair to get used to the product and not work as well (like my Aussie 3 min. miracle, I use it so often and my hair got used to it so it kind of lost its effectiveness).

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque 3.3 oz $15

I picked up some lashes because they were on sale 2 for $6. I like using Salon Perfect #53 for every day use and these ones reminded me of them. The lash band on these are more flexible. I really want to try the Katy Perry lashes in Oh Honey!.

Ardell Lash Lites

I haven't seen these lip products from Wet n Wild before so of course had to try one. This one is called 'Salsa Lessons'. On my lips, it's like an orange-red with a creme finish. I really like the formula and can't wait to try more.

Wet n Wild Mega Lip Color SPF 15 in Salsa Lessons 369S

This one had a 'New' sticker on it so, why not! I got it in 'Back to the Fuchsia' and 'Red My Mind'. They are both beautiful colors but feel very weird on the lips. It goes on wet like a lip gloss and in a matter of minutes it dries as if you don't have any product on your lips. It definately didn't budge at all.
