Ulta...

So ULTA is currently having a 40% off of Almay/Maybelline/Revlon/ULTA cosmetics... so go crazy you guys!!! Haha, I wanted to. I restrained myself and ended up spending just ~$22 today.

I bought Maybelline Expert Wear Twin Brow & Eye Pencils in dark brown (it was the darkest shade they had) for $2.09, Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in soft plum for $4.13, Revlon's nail polish in Copperglaze Platinum for $1.31 WOOO, and Revlon's PhotoReady foundation in medium beige 006 and neutral beige 005. I'd take a picture, but I'm feeling so lazy and I wanted to get this posted before I started cramming all sorts of nonsensical information into my brain.

I was testing out the two shades of foundation (and wow, they made me look so nice!) but I can't tell which one is better for me. I literally put one shade on half of my face and half on the other, but I can't tell!!!!! I'm so bad at this D:

I was going to go to Sephora, but I was on a time constraint (shopping between classes, BAD ME!) and I think I splurged enough... :\ I really want to go to Sephora! But I don't have time and that drat coupon expires on the 19th. It wasn't meant to be I guess... Ho hum~ I hope you all have a good, relatively stress free weekend. :]

I'm on the lookout for a FABULOUS FOUNDATION BRUSH now! Ho ho ho!

Also, I noticed I have two followers (when'd that happen?? I'm so slow!) but OMGOSH YAY THANKS :] you made my day.

Alsoooooo, each time I get a comment my face looks like this...

Hahaha... seriously. I'm like way slow and I don't know how to do comments... oh wow that makes me sound way dumber. I meant like, RYC stuff. :\ No, I'm gona stop while I'm ahead because I'm just putting my foot in my mouth or whatever.

SO WOOOOO :] Ok, it's STUDY TIME.

PS: I think I will put up another ~H2O plus review sometime in the following week...

Haul!

Haul #1!!

Was originally not going to post this pic because of the weirdly shiny and reflective desk of mine, but just so you can see everything~

I guess that is what I'd call this? My first haul post! Anyways, I finished my finals this morning!! Woo woo~ To celebrate, I went to ULTA (since I knew they were having so many little gifties with purchases) and I ended up spending close to $100... eep!

I really want to try the O-Glow~ Looked so smooth and pretty when I tried it on my hand at the store.

I got the Smashbox TRY ME VOL. 2 SMASHBOX SUPERSTARS, which comes with minis of the Photo Finish Foundation Primer, Bionic Mascara, O-Glow Intuitive Cheek Color, Reflection High Shine Lip Gloss, and Fusion Soft Lights [Baked Starburst]. It came with a free gift of the Fusion Soft Lights [Dusk]. Haha! Now I have two~ I hope I like it! This was $29, which I thought was a really good deal, especially for someone who's been wanting to try some of Smashbox's products, but not really willing to buy random little minis. They give it to you all packed in a box~ So convenient!

I also got Anastasia's Brow Duality [Shell/Lace] because I want to take care of my eyebrows better - they are so unruly and wild. Shame on me!! I'm going to go home and get them shaped at this highly recommended place. With the Anastasia purchase, I received free travel-size tweezers. They are SUPER itty bitty!!! I was expecting small tweezers, but these are even smaller than Tweezerman's travel ones!! It is as tall as the Too Faced lipstick I got.


Find the Smashbox product hiding in there!! Haha... it's pretty obvious x3
Look at the tiny tiny tweezers!!! I'm going to keep it in my purse :]

Speaking of Too Faced, I had not planned to buy anything from them when I went to ULTA. However, at the door there was this big gold tote bag (which is pretty cheaply made) for $35. Inside, it included a travel-sized Primed & Poreless Face Primer, travel-size Sun Bunny Bronzer, a flatbuki brush, Lava Gloss Eyeliner [Chocolate], a mini Lash Injection Pinpoint Mascara, a Lip of Luxury Lipstick [Celebrity Meltdown], and a Mirror Mirror Lip Gloss [I'm Perfect]. I was really attracted to the lip stuff, and for $35 for two full sized lip products and other miscellaneous stuff??? BUY!!! Haha.. so bad.

It looks very tacky and... it feels sooo cheap. I don't like that :[

So anyway, I am not going to swatch or open these just yet because I LOVE NEW THINGS! KEEPING THEM NEW AND CLEAN AND... unused. Ahh, so wasteful, but soo pretty. I am going to go nap now because I only slept 3 hours last night! My poor skin. I need to write a more introductory post about myself. Eekers! Haha, I was too excited and just went to buy too much make-up and wanted to share it. :]

Have you tried any of these products? Any tips or suggestions with them?

Thank you for reading~
