If you follow me on Instagram you have seen a sneak peek of this haul :)

I also want to say that I am in no way trying to brag by posting hauls, I love reading other's haul posts so I hope others enjoy reading mine too. It's always fun to see the things that people buy. Okay on to the haul.

Last week the hubby and I went shopping in a city that is about 50 or so miles away from us, we live in a tiny town and don't have any of the good stores LOL I picked up a few new goodies and wanted to share.

First place we went was the Dollar Tree and there I found some L'Oreal Project Runway Limited Edition nail stickers. I picked up two of them one in The Seductive Temptress, which looks like snake up close and camouflage from a distance. The other set I picked up was The Wise Mystic, they look sorta like fishnets with some glitter! The only other item I picked up here was a tube of Udderly Smooth hand cream.

Next at TJ Maxx I found some of my favorite foot balm. I won a small tube of this in a giveaway last year and it is the best lotion to use on my feet in the summer time. I've not repurchased it before, because for me it was a little expensive, but I found two 4 oz bottle for just

Favorites: May

Oh my goodness where did the month of May go? Today I wanted to share with you my favorites from May.

Up first are some Julep products, Glycolic hand scrub, hand cream and Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum and Oxygen Nail Treatment (not pictured). I absolutely love how these products have transformed the condition of my hands, nails and cuticles. If you missed my full review on the Julep products, you can read it here.

I have also been loving my L'Oreal Hydrafresh toner, I got this as a replacement for my Proactiv toner. Love how it leaves my skin feeling very soft and hydrated.

A new product that I used quite a bit last month is my Maybelline Eyestudio gel liner in charcoal. I won this in a giveaway hosted by Lori Ann over at Bat an Eyelash a few months ago, and have just in the last couple of  months been using it regularly in my make up routine. It applies so smoothly and seriously lasts on me all day. I love the charcoal color too, it's not as harsh as black and a nice alternative to always wearing brown.

I can not get enough of my Gud Orange Petalooza body lotion. Love the way this smells and it leaves my skin feeling super smooth and moisturized.

My last favorite this month is Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Foot Repair Balm. I use this quite often since I live in flip flops during the spring and summer. Does a great job at moisturizing my feet. I also like that the fragrance of this has a hint of mint to it.

What were some of your favorites from the month of May?

Favorites: April

I'm back with my April Favorites, better late than never :)

Almost everyday in April I used my MUA Heaven and Earth Palette. I love this palette mostly because it's neutral colors. There are so many different ways that you can wear this palette and the colors are absolutely beautiful!

I have also went back to using my CoverGirl BB Cream. I feel like this product really does smooth out the way my skin looks and for a lack of better words blurs out all the stuff you don't want to show up. I also like it because it is very light weight.

I have also been using my Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment. I have been loving this type of product for my hair for a few months now, I was using a different brand, but I feel like they both do the same thing for my hair, make it look soft and shiny. The smell is amazing too!

I have been using a new toner which is now one of my favorites. I was using the toner that comes with the proactive set, and when I ran out I found L'Oreal Hydrafresh Toner, I feel like it works as well as the one I was using before. Leaves my face feeling hydrated.

I like my Gud by Burt's Bees so much that I picked up from Big Lots for $2 so much that I am still kicking myself for not picking up more of these! First the smell is great and it leaves my skin feeling super duper soft and smooth. Absorbs quickly too and does not leave you feeling greasy.

Last but not least is a mascara from Avon that found it's way to the bottom of my mascara basket and then I tried it again and it has been working well for me this past month. It is their Super Magnify mascara, I find that name to be comical because of what the brush looks like:

See... such tiny bristles, but it does work pretty good. Does a good job at grabbing each individual lash.

What were some of your favorites this month?

Haul: Big Lots

I love going to Big Lots to check out their beauty section, you never know what kind of good deals and products you are going to find! A new Big Lot's store opened semi close to my area so hubby and I went to check it out and I scored a few good beauty buys.

First I got a bottle of gud, from Burt's Bees, body lotion in the fragrance Orange Petalooza. Smells so good and leaves my skin feeling super smooth and only cost $2! Next I got a two pack of Revlon polishes, which were also only $2. I got the shades Fig Jam and Strawberry Cream. These are supposed to be scented, I think they just smell like any other nail polish. I also picked up a pack of Ponds Evening Sooth cleansing towelettes for $3.80. Lastly I got an ELF blending eye brush for ninety-five cents!

Have you scored any good deals from Big Lots recently?
