Shop My Stash #2

Sorry for bombarding y'all with three post today. This is the last for today, I promise! I meant to put this up yesterday, but was feeling a little under the weather.

So last week I shopped my Stash for a few products and samples. I really enjoyed my WEI to go Beauty sample of gelled oil cleanser, but I did not like the ideal skin perfect finish that was with it. I put it on and my face looked a hot mess! I think the color was too light for me, so that came right back off! I also really liked the sample of Pixi flawless beauty primer, it was actually a colored primer, not white like all the other primers I've used. I think my ELF eye shadow duos will be getting a lot more use now too, more to come on them in my Try it Again Tuesday post! I didn't get much use out of my Avon Smooth Minerals lip gloss, I found myself always reaching for my Revlon Lip Butter. The Milani eye tech extreme eye liner I am still on the fence about. I had a hard time getting this to look good on my eyes. Will keep trying though.

This week I shopped my stash for the following products:
Wet n Wild Cream eyeliner in Black, City Curls mascara by NYC, L.A. Colors Little Black Book of eye shadows Glam Edition, I picked this up at the Dollar Tree back in March of last year. I really don't think I have used this at all! I also picked two Rimmel Royal lip glosses.

Will you be shopping your stash this week? If so what items are you using?

Shop and Tell

My Avon shipment was delayed a day because of Memorial Day, so today's post will be a Shop and Tell :)

It's been a while since I bought new beauty products from anywhere other than Avon, so today while I was out running errands I stopped by Wal-Mart and picked up a few things I had been wanting.

First I picked up a bottle of Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser. I got a sample size of this in my Target Beauty Bag and really liked it. Next I got a bottle of NYC Matte

Avon Haul--Campaign 10

I've been sick and have not left my house in about a week, so no beauty favorites this week. But I do an Avon haul, even though it's all mark products ;) I did purchase another one of the Tear Drop Blenders, will have a a review on that soon!

So here are the mark products that I purchased. Main Squeeze lip gloss in Honey Squeeze. I think the packaging is really cute. The outer part is made of clear hard

Small Haul

I have picked up a few new products from the store over the last few weeks and wanted to share them with you.

First up are 2 trios from L.A. Colors, I actually found these at a Dollar Tree! I picked one up in Grassy Knoll and one in Sand Dune! They both are really great little trios. They seem to be very pigmented and are long lasting. Can't beat that for a buck!

I also picked up a couple of the NYC Liquid Lipshines! I got one of these in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster and I LOVE them!! I looked at my local Walmart and could not find them. So I was out shopping at my local Family Dollar and found a few colors there. They were $2.00 each. I got one in Prospect Pink and one in Brighton Beach Peach.

NYC Liquid Lip Shine

In my holiday voxbox, that I received from Influenster, I got a NYC Liquid Lip Shine in the color Nude York City, it has quickly become one of my favorite lip glosses! It has definitely been the one that I have reached for the most since I got it. It is a really great nude lip gloss! It is super shiny and not sticky at all. It feels very soft and light on your lips.

 The Lip Shines also contain vitamin E, which is a great moisturizer for your skin. The NYC Lip Shines are very affordable, as most of their make up is. They are only $2.49! The come in in 10 shades from nudes to berries. This is a product that I will be purchasing more of!

Have you tried one of the NYC Liquid Lip Shines? If so what color and what did you think about it?

Winner Mail!

Over Thanksgiving I entered a contest that KISS was hosting on their Facebook page and I won a 2nd place prize pack!! I was super excited that I had won. So I received my prize pack the other day and was beyond excited about the goodies that I got!

I got a few coupons for KISS products, a brush on lip gloss (which I LOVE because it has menthol in it and I love a minty lip product!), False lashes and adhesive  ever lasting french tip nails, rhinestone nail art, eye liner and mascara!

And to be honest I did not even know that KISS made make up products! I thought they were just nails!!

So thanks so much to KISS! I will be trying out all these products and will be giving you  reviews on them.

Birthday Haul!

So my birthday is on Sunday October 9th, I'll be turning 30, so I thought I would get myself some b-day gifts :)
These are the items I got from Sephora:
Lip gloss-- This gloss is great! It's super shiny and not sticky at all!

Super cute headband! I wore this to a wedding this past weekend!

ELF Cosmetics (Lips)

I wanted to continue with  my E.L.F series and tell you about the lip products. They have two main lines, essentials and studio. The items from the essentials line only cost $1.00, yep that’s right a buck! The items from the studio line cost $3.00. They offer a wide variety of products on their website. You can also find E.L.F products at select K-mart, Target, Big Lots, and Dollar Stores.

Like the eye products, most of the lip products that I bought came from the essentials line. I will list my favorite products that I have.
First up the $1.00 line lipsticks. I have one in Gypsy and one in Seductress. I was really impressed with the quality of these lipsticks for them to only cost $1. They are very pigmented and glide on smoothly.
