Sallys Haul


when will me endless money blowing on girly stuff end? GEESH. i really need to budget myself...or try never leaving my house lol. i went to pick up my contacts today and i decided to stop by sallys since it was on my way home. i initially went in there for a nail polish thinner because i have a couple polishes that are thickening up. i really need to stick to my plan A lol. as soon as i walked in there i was WOW'ed because they now have a whole wall just for nail art stuff, how could i resist?!!!! there were a million and one things i wanted to get BUT i took a deep breather and told myself "you can always come back next week for more" lmao. so these were my chosen few....




yes, i went a little nail art crazy, but what can a girl do?
i also found the perfect chocolate brown color that i have been looking for everywhere! i had a mani done at the salon and i got this gorgeous brown color; but i couldnt find a brown like it anywhere ....till now!! its by finger paints; dont know the name off the top of my head but if you want to know just askkkk away.
i also FINALLY found a dotter!! i've been looking like crazy for one of these puppies but sally always seems to be sold out -angry face- so there were two left and i wasnt going to let history repeat itself! i needed it now!

the dotter also has a detailing brush on the other side; hmm double yay! all in all today was a very successful purchase day! lol im going to give myself an adorable manicure and pedicure today; and i shall post up pictures tomorrow!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GIRLLLLLL GO GET SOME NAIL ART GOODIES FROM SALLYS!!

Haul of things i didnt really need; but wanted!

Its in my daily routine to be home from 7-8:00; without a miss because im so stuck on my soap opera! lol sadly it ends this Friday, but the beautiful thing about that is ....another one always takes its place haha. after my novela was done tonight i remembered i was out of cotton balls and lotion(you know its just impossible to live without lotion) so i decided to take off to target to get some. i actually decided just to stop at walmart because it was closer. i was debating because target has OPIs and ESSIEs which i wanted to check out, but egh i was feeling lazy tonight. i got my cotton balls; and my lotion and decided to stop by the little back to school section they have to check out the organizers that they usually put out for the people dorm shopping.

i found this little cute green one for only 3.00! im a sucker for colored organizers. so i decided even if i didnt need it, i was going to get it anyways lol

it has this little flip cover on the front which is just adorable; and i think its the only reason why i wanted to get this lol.

i also got this blue one pictured above($5.00). i have one in white already, but that one is full up and i truly was running out of space, so these two organizers came in handy.


i promised myself i would ease up on nail polish buying until i actually wore all the ones i recently purchased but i knew the second i saw this that i had to have it! this is minted by Revlon.

i love LOVE mint green pastel colors like this. pictures can grasp how sexy this color is in person. i have one very similar to it from essie; but i do like Revlon polishes, and hmm you can never have too many nail polishes; atleast that is my motto! lol

next i moved it over the lippies! the one lipstick i am dying to have had already ran out. that pretty much crushed me because this is the second time i go to look for it and they are all out. im going to have to go check somewhere else because i really do want that Revlon nude lipstick every one talks so much about. i did however find two of the rimmel lippies that i didnt get last time. they both look similar in pictures, but they are very different in person. i love these both. i have this thing for baby pink lips, these are like my 8th and 9th tube of pink lipstick lol.

aren't they adorable though? how could i resist? i also decided that i wanted a peach blush since i love the maybelline one i have. never hurts to have a variety of options when it comes to blush. this wet n wild one looked so adorable. i haven't tried it out yet but the color looks like it would go great with my skin tone.

it also says that its oil free and for people with sensitive skin which is a plus. im gonna do a review on it as soon as i try it out.


i bought one of the new maybelline quads just to try it out since i heard the colors were decent. lets see how that goes. the one pictured above is copper chic.



i also got two of the regular quads because those are pretty good! i bought "time for wine" and "designer chocolates". you can never go wrong with smokey brown eyes. i was going to get the Revlon foundation; BUT then i stopped myself because its still summer and i might just get darker, or lighter...who knows! so im going to hold off on buying new foundation until sept/oct because usually by then my skin settles into whatever color it is going to be for the cold season.

ULTA haul

SO, as i mentioned, i went to the ULTA store in Everette. I initially went because i wanted to try the NYX shadows and cosmetic line. When i got there i ran over to the nyx isle and egh...wasnt THAT blown away. Most of the nyx colors were very similar to mac colors i already had, so i tried to go for colors i needed. The one thing i did like was that they had every single brand nail polish; from essie, to china glaze, to opi, to revlon, and everything in between.

i LOVE these. the camera doesnt do them any justice because they are even better in person. the first color (pictured far left) is flip flop fantasy. its a bright pink/coral/orangie color, even though it looks pink in the picture. the middle one is shocking pink; and just like the name, it is a bright pink summer color. the last one, and my favorite is peachy keen. it is a really pretty pastel peach color. i loooooved all the colors they had, BUT i tried to limit myself to just 3...for now anyways.
next i went for some nyx shadows. i ended up only liking 3; which at the end worked in my favor because they were buy 2 get one. most of the colors they had were browns, and neutrals that i already had plenty of. the first color is "Atlantic"; in the picture it looks pretty bright, but in person it is a very dark blue.

this color is "Kiwi"; its a dark kiwi green, again it looks bright in the picture, but its a couple shades darker. its a gorgeous green by the way.


the last color is "lime green"; its a gorgeous green with a gold shimmer to it. i went a little green crazy because i didnt have alot of green eyeshadows besides the neon greenish one from mac. all in all im happy with everything. the nail polishes are adorable and summery; the eyeshadows are really pigmented gorgeous. im gonna be doing a review on the nyx shadows soon because they are truly good for their price. these ran me for about 5.99 a piece, and im not sure but i swear i saw them cheaper on the website. idk im gonna double check that. the people that worked at ulta were kinda snobish; that would be my only complaint; other than that it was a pretty big store and it had awesome stuff in it. its worth the checkitout!

On my way home i stopped at target to get something for my mom; and i grabbed these two crease brushes for 5.99 a piece; i got two of them because im a brush junkie and i rather have too many than not enough!
