Hauling!...Stuff from Christmas up 'til now...I swear I had more...

So I'm not sure if I've already posted about some of these products but I was thrown off when I had some technical difficulties posting pictures sooo...here ya go!

 

If you saw my latest weekly nails you already saw these polishes featured. Mostly from Mariah Carey's collection.

Real Technique brushes...love! This set was like $18? And they were created by a beauty guru on YouTube. I'm looking to buy more!

Random polishes I've purchased. Revlon is a "moon candy" one called "Heavenly." Sally Hansen top coat "Insta-Dri"...very similar, and cheaper alternative to Seche Vite. China Glaze's "Heart of the Matter." OPI's "DS Magic." And OPI's "I Don't Give a Rotterdam!" Very pretty blue-grey color.

So I've been playing around with products and wanted to try a new foundation so I got Neutrogena's brand. So far I like it but the coverage is only medium. Also got Maybelline's new "Rocket Volum' Express" mascara. I've had it for about a month now, it's nice and works pretty well but not a favorite of mine.  

Maybelline color tattoos from the "Metal" collection. Really love these colors on their own or for every day looks. "Inked in Pink" and "Barely Branded."

 

So this is an old trend but it is the "Caviar" nails. Basically tiny beads on your nails. Sephora sold this type of polish first, I believe, but I did not want to spend $25 for the kit. I bought beads from the dollar store but never really tried them out. Then I found this kit at Walgreens for $8. I tried it on but unfortunately because I work in a restaurant I thought it would be a good idea to put a top coat. Wrong! It took away the color of the beads and looked terrible. And I didn't get a picture before I did a top coat...stupid. I will try this again one day, it looked nice.

Nivea's new lip butters. Really, no explanation. I saw it, I wanted it, I bought it. These were BOGO half off, originally like almost $2? Not sure.

Prestige brow kit, for filling in my eyebrows, self-explanitory. At Ulta for $8-9

These are cute, right?! Pretty much the only reason I got this was because they were out of the full size bottle of "Rocking Rio (second from the left, it was a limited edition)" So I got the whole sample kit. They all smell really nice. Set was about $25? But these are actually REALLY small bottles.

I think I've featured a couple of these before...so here ya go. All the ones I have.

Benefit's "Sexy Six" sample pack. This was $25. I'm trying to get into different high end brands, other than Urban Decay, so I go for the sample sizes.

Last but not least, the freaking cutest Hello Kitty palette! I'm not going to lie, the ONLY reason I bought this is for the packaging because the colors aren't too great.


**I kind of wanted to quickly get this post up so, sorry for any grammar mistakes!**



This weeks nails/new polishes!

Nails were created with these polishes (my thumb was a repeat of my pinky). From left to right; OPI's "Designer...De Better," China Glaze's "Escaping Reality," OPI's "Stay the Night (Mariah Carey's liquid sand collection)," "Pink yet Lavender," "A Butterfly Moment"


So pretty, I love them! Especially "Designer...De Better" and the glitter!

New nail trend=moon candy!

So I actually have no idea how long this trend has been out for, I think the first brand I saw carrying this was Revlon, but it was in the double sided nail polish tubes?...Anyway, I've recently spotted more brands carrying this type of polish and I must say, I'm hooked! It's like glitter polish without the hassle!! So what am I talking about?...Moon Candy!

So this version is from Nicole by O.P.I and I really like it so far. I also have another one from Revlon and they both work great!

This is just a random design I did using a blue base, white crackle and then the moon candy. It looks so pretty in the light!

 

 



PopSugar Must Have Box...January!

So I have been M.I.A because my computer didn't want to upload pics to my blog...but finally, here I am! I signed up for the PopSugar Must Have Box and so far I am pleased with it. It's a $35 monthly subscription box that has items from home-food-fashion. I'm pleased with most of the products, except it seems that there are always one or two promo codes or coupons. Nonetheless, I think it's pretty good so far.

 

 

So this is what the box first looks like...after unwrapping the pink paper, of course..

 

First are these two "Popbars" they are chocolate on sticks, put them in warm milk, stir and you have hot chocolate!...Comes with Dark and Milk chocolate, yummy! (Retails for $2.99/stick)

 

You can't have hot chocolate without the marshmallows, and I don't know about you guys but I love the...freeze dried? ones! I used to pick out the ones that came with the Lucky Charms but now I don't have to. This is a full size container of mini marshmallows. (Retails for...well actually not sure, I've seen them anywhere from $4-6 in stores?)

 

"Think Thin" gluten free bars. Not much to say about this other than it's food to try out! (Retails for $1.69-$1.99/bar on website)

 

Remix Time Bomb watch! So this is kinda cool, you can take the face of the watch out and switch it with other band colors and mix 'n match!...The only downfall is that this is kind of big for my baby wrists and I noticed the light button is pretty sensitive, I don't know what I would do if that went off in class/public. (Retails for...well this is a little different than the Time Bomb watch on their site but the price for those are about $45)

 

Epicuren lip balm, I've never heard of this brand before, so I guess it's cool to try it out. (Retails for...well I found this on amazon selling for $8.50, I don't think I'd pay $8 for a lip balm unless it was amazing!)

 



And last but not least, a yoga ball!! For some reason I was excited for this. I used to take yoga a couple years ago but always assumed stability balls were very useful for workouts. It also comes with the pump and downloadable software for workout ideas.


Well that's everything in this months box, other than a couple coupons and promo codes. This is a overview of what I got for my December box...



A set of two mugs, chocolate mint sticks, Tea forte tea samplers (with 10 teas), mini emergency kit, really good smelling soap and coupons.

So I am hoping to upload a haul video since I purchased a LOT since my last post so stay tuned for that, I also want to include an updated make up collection, not sure when that will be because that will be time consuming. Anyway, thanks for dropping by! xoxo

New stuff!

So this first gift set is something that I got for myself, I'm obsessed with lip products so when I saw this, I figured it'd be a nice Christmas gift to myself.

 

This is a Too Faced palette my aunt and uncle got for me. I've never used any products from Too Faced before so I was pretty excited when I saw this!

 

The nail polish to the left is pretty neat, it changes color in the sun/light. And then I got this mini set of polishes from my aunts and uncles. It's the Tinsel Town collection.

 

Small overview of other things I got.

 

I've heard this palette raved about a lot through YouTube. It's the "Caviar and Bubbles" palette, it has really great neutral shades.

 

This one is pretty cool, it's by a brand called Pantone Universe. These colors are really nice, especially the one with chunky glitter all the way to the left. This was another gift I gave myself for Christmas.

 

This is just something I picked up from the V.S semi-anual/after Christmas sale. It came with a keychain that was a mini bottle of this fragrance. This is one of my favorite scents by V.S!

 

Ahh...here we have more nail polishes! The first is called "DS Magic" I'm not sure what collection it's from but it reminds me of a polish from the China Glazes "Bohemian" collection. Next is "Sprung," again not sure which collection it's from. "A butterfly moment" is the light pink one. And the last one, "Whirled Away" which is from China Glazes Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away collection.

 

This was one of my Christmas gifts, new storage! I was pretty excited for this because I was starting to run out of room...sad.

I got this ring today, I just thought it was something cute and...well just felt like buying it! It says "Lucky" and has three little stones on each side.

I wanted to try out this nail polish drying spray...I was going to just get a small bottle but that was $2.99 and this was $3.99 so, uh duhh...figured I'd just go for this, even if I don't like it.

Another present this year was my subscription box! It's the PopSugar Must have Bag (/or box). I was so excited for this, I was hoping to get make-up this box but I was still pretty excited for everything I got!

And finally, my new Camera! My amazing boyfriend got this for me for Christmas (along with other stuff) and I was so excited! I know I had told him I was thinking of getting a Canon Powershot, because that's what a lot of people on YouTube use but he surprised me with the new Sony Cyber-shot, 1080p!! I still have to play around with it but it's really awesome, I can animate pictures and play a slide show in 3D...he's just really great for getting this for me!
