London SoHo Makeup Brush Haul



Hey everyone! I just wanted to show you guys what I bought at Walgreens! I didn't get a bunch of items because I wasn't sure what I was going to buy. I just went to see if my Walgreens had any new displays because I love checking out the new products. They didn't really have anything new, just displays that I had already seen at other stores. Hopefully more drugstore brands will start coming out with more new products because I love checking out all the new products. Its always fun seeing all the new products. Since there wasn't any new products that I already haven't seen, I decided to just check out the makeup aisles.

As I was walking by the brushes, I noticed an orange sticker sign and it caught my eyes. If you shop at Walgreens a lot, then you would know that whenever a product has an orange sticker on it then that means that its on clearance. Since it was on clearance, I decided to give it a look. Plus since I bought this a while back, Walgreens was having a sale where all London SoHo Brushes were BOGO FREE! Even better deal, yes!! I can't remember the exact price that I paid but since it was buy one, get one free I only paid around $3 for each.





Each one came with:

  • Makeup Brush Holder
  • Angled Eyeliner brush
  • All Over EyeShadow brush
  • Blush brush

I have tried all of these brushes so far and I really like the shadow brushes. The only brush that I don't like at all is the blush brush. It shreds so much. It shreds when I wash it and it shreds when I use it to apply powder and/or blush onto my face. Its just a horrible brush. I also included a picture to show you guys how much it shreds whenever I use it. This time I was using the brush to apply blush onto my cheeks and it shredded that much. The bristles were on my cheeks and on my vanity. I took all the bristles that shredded together so I can show you guys (below) how much it shred. Horrible, horrible brush.


One of the main reasons why I bought this set, besides it being such a great deal is the makeup brush holder. Its just so darn cute. I love how its zebra printed. I have been using both holders, one to hold my dirty makeup brushes and the other to hold my pencil eyeliners. All-in-all, I really like the set but I wish that they had made a better blush brush.

QUESTIONS:
Have you ever tried London SoHo brushes before?
What do you think about these brushes?

Big Lots 20% Off Haul


Hey everyone! In case you didn't know, two weeks Big Lots had a coupon where you could get 20% off your entire purchase. I always try to take advantage whenever they have this coupon because its a great time to get products that I have been wanting to try. Plus sometimes you can score better deals at Big Lots than at the drugstores. Also its a great time to get products that might have been recently discontinued. I did go a bit overboard with this sale but keep in mind, I went to two different Big Lots and you will soon see why I went to two.

What I bought:
Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid Toothpaste
This was originally $2.60 but I paid around $2 for it, which is such a great deal for a Crest 3D White toothpaste. I have been wanting to try this toothpaste for the longest but couldn't because of my braces. If you didn't know already, you are not supposed to use any whitening product when you have braces because after you take your braces off, you would get two different shades on your teeth. Since my dentist said that I am almost done with my braces (YAY!), I decided to finally get it!! Hopefully this wll work and whiten my teeth because we all love having white smiles.


Revlon Matte Suede Nail Polishes "933 Emerald City" and "507 Fire Fox"
These actually came in a pack of two for $2, meaning a dollar a polish. Revlon nail polishes are the main reason why I went to Big Lots because they usually carry a bunch of Revlon polishes. I was actually a bit disappointed because both of the Big Lots stores that I went to, they didn't have any Revlon polishes, except for this last one. I never tried any polishes from the Matte Suede lin before but I do love my mattes. Plus I remember seeing swatches of Emerald City once and I remember loving it so I am finally glad to have it in my collection.


London SOHO All Over Shadow Brushes (X2)
I actually have a couple of SOHO brushes that I bought a few months back on clearance at CVS and decided to get more. Since they weren't on clearance anymore at the CVS stores in my area, I decided to wait and am happy to see them at Big Lots. I don't know if they are going to stay at Big Lots or are just making a short appearance. These were $2.50 but with the 20% off, they were $2 a brush.


ELF Mineral Contour Brush
I never tried any of products from the Mineral line from ELF and am happy to finally try out a brush from the line. This was $2.50 but with the coupon, it was $2 plus tax. I haven't tried this brush yet but hopefully it doesn't shed. I bought this mainly for applying color onto my outer crease and/or into the crease of my lids.


Physicians Formula Healthy Wear SPF50 Pressed Bronzer "Tan"
I have been wanting to try out products from the Healthy Wear line ever since I saw a bunch of reviews on this line months ago. I heard that this line was getting discontinued so I was a bit sad to miss out on all the clearance deals but am happy to have found them at Big Lots. If you have been wanting to try out some products from the Healthy Wear line, then you should definitely check out your nearest Big Lots because they just started carrying them. So far, they have the pressed powder, pressed bronzer, and the tinted moisturizer. I don't know if they are going to start carrying more but definitely check out your store. I have tried this already and so far, I am really liking it. But be warned that these products do have expiration dates on them. I bought one at the first store that I went to and found out that it was already expired when I got home and opened it. Luckly I was able to exchange it at a different Big Lots and got one that expires next year. Hopefully I will be able to finish it before it expires. So if you are interested in buying any from this line, check the products for the expiration dates!! All products from this line are priced $4.00 each.


L'Oreal Double Extend Mascara "515 Black Brown"
I have just gotten into using lash primers and didn't want to splurge for a high-end one before trying out the drugstore ones. This mascara comes with a lash primer on one side and a regular mascara on the other end. Since I didn't want to splurge, I was excited to see this mascara for $3.50, which is a great price for a L'Oreal mascara. I haven't tried this yet but hopefully I will end up loving it since I haven't had the best luck with L'Oreal mascaras. I wish that they had different colors like Blackest Black but all they had was Black Brown. This mascara is supposed to give you the appearance of 60% longer lashes so we will see about that.


So that is all that I bought at Big Lots!! I did buy more but they weren't beauty related so I left them out of this post. But if you are curious, I bought some snacks like Nutter Butter. Ooh those cookies are so yummy!! If you love the real taste of Planter's peanuts and love peanut butter, then you should give those cookies a try. They are so yummy, especially when you have them with milk. I am not a big fan of milk. I don't know why but it just tastes weird to me. This is the only way that I would touch milk, that and cereal. Haha! So I hope you all liked my haul and if you have any questions, leave a comment below and I will get back to you!

CVS Haul (Featuring PF, Revlon & SoHo Brushes)


Hey everyone! So this was what I bought last week when CVS had their sale on Physicians Formula and Revlon products. Sorry if this haul was a little late but I have been busy and stressing over car troubles. Plus my little brother just turned 10 yesterday and I have been busy trying to plan his birthday. If you didn't know, CVS had a sale on both PF and Revlon. For PF, it was buy any PF product and gt $7 ECBs back. For Revlon, certain lip products were $7USD. Since I had a CVS coupon for $5 off any Revlon products and a couple of $1USD off Revlon manufacturer coupons.

What I bought:
PF Conceal RX Concealer in Soft Green
Revlon Lip Butters in 010 Raspberry Pie & 095 Creme Brulee
SoHo London Crease Brush
SoHo London Small Shader Brush


I was lucky enough to find the SoHo brushes at my CVS store. They were on clearance for $2.69USD each so I knew I had to get them to try out. These were originally $10.79USD each. I thought that was a pretty good deal and find, if I do say so myself. I went to another CVS to buy some more but they were only on clearance at that one CVS store. Hopefully more CVS stores will start having these brushes on clearance because I want to try them all out.




For the PF concealer, it was my first time trying a green concealer. I have been breaking out a lot recently (because I have been forgeting to take my Biotin tsk tsk) and I read that green concealer is better at concealing redness. I don't know if that really works but this green concealer just made all my spots greens. I applied little as possible but to no avail, it still made parts of my face green. I am definitely returning this soon.



QUESTIONS:
Have you ever tried a green concealer?
Do you own any Revlon Lip Butters?
Have you tried any SoHo brushes?

CVS Haul (Featuring WnW, L'oreal, Turbie Twist, & SoHo Brushes)

Hey everyone! Wow, CVS was having such great sales last week! They were having a sale on WnW Eyes, Lips, and Nails products where they are 2/$3USD. As you can see, I went a little bit crazy. Keep in mind that I didn't buy all of these products at one time. I went to three different CVS stores because they didn't have much in stock. The main reason why I went was because I found out that the Flora & Fauna sets were also included in the sale! They are originally $4.99USD but during the sale, they were 2/$3USD plus tax. Plus I had a couple of $1USD off WnW coupons so that made the deal even sweeter!


Another reason why I decided to go to three different CVS stores is because the first one by house hired a new security guard. The new security guard was irritating me so much because she was following me around the whole makeup aisles. Like seriously? Do I look like the person to steal? I go to that CVS regularly and always buy makeup from there. Everywhere I would go, she would follow me around. I don't steal but I will probably never go to that CVS store again. The whole time I was there, she was staring at me. Every time I left a makeup display, she would go to that makeup display and check everything out. I mean, seriously! I totally felt like going up to her and saying "I know I look good and all but I don't swing that way!" LOL I wish I did because that would have been so funny!

What I bought:
WNW LIMITED EDITION FLORA COLLECTION (X2)
This set comes with four products like a nail polish, lip gloss, eyeshadow trio, and a blush. All the products are full size except for the blush. I bought an extra because I might be holding a giveaway on my blog sometime in the future. I might be giving away both because I am a little bit intimated by the bright colorful shadows. If I do end up keeping this set, I know for sure, that I will never wear all three shades on one eye look. It comes with:
  • FastDry Nail Polish in Twining Vines
  • Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Mow The Glass
  • ColorIcon Blush in Mellow Wine
  • ColorIcon Eyeshadow Trio in Flora


WNW LIMITED EDITION FAUNA COLLECTION (X2)
This set is almost the same as the Flora set but with different shades. It also comes with three full size products and one mini blush. I also bought an extra one of this set because I was thinking about including it in the giveaway as well. I definitely love this set more than the Flora set because all the colors are wearable. This set comes with:
  • FastDry Nail Polish in Teal Or No Teal
  • Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Glass Confusion
  • ColorIcon Blush in Pearlescent Pink
  • ColorIcon Eyeshadow Trio in Fauna


WNW MEGA EYES CREME EYELINER
These are my first time trying these. Hopefully they all live up to my expectations. I heard these are somewhat comparable to MAC Fluidlines and others say that they dry up too fast but only time will tell. I bought two different shades:
  • Eggplant
  • Black

WNW COLORICON EYESHADOW TRIO IN WALKING ON EGGSHELLS
I have been wanting this trio but for some reason, I always forgot to pick it up. Since they were on sale, I made sure to remember. The trio looks like a great everyday, neutral eye palette. It comes with a gorgeous brow bone highlight and a beautiful all over the lid shade. I can't wait to wear this!


LONDON SOHO NEW YORK MAKEUP BRUSHES
These were on clearance at the last CVS store that I went to. I have always wanted to try these brushes but in my opinion, they are a little bit pricey for drugstore brand makeup brushes. I only bought two to try out because I wasn't sure how they would pick up shadows and if they would shred after washing. The two that I picked up are:
  • All Over Shadow Brush
  • Blush Brush



TURBIE TWIST MICROFIBER HAIR TOWEL
I have always wanted to try one of these and the first CVS store that I went to had a bunch of these. There was a sign saying that they were $5.99USD but they ran up $6.99USD. I told the cashier that they were another price. She grabbed this blue one and for some reason, it rang up $4.99USD. Three different prices with all the hassle that CVS gives. LOL


L'OREAL SUPER PREFERENCE HAIR DYE IN 4 DARK BROWN
I bought two for my mom. She wanted some hair dye from L'Oreal, because its a brand that she loves and trusts. They were on sale for 2/$12.99USD plus tax. I am not sure if the sale is still going on but you can check.


So that is all that I bought at CVS. Hopefully they will start to have more sales like this. Make sure to follow my makeup blog for future giveaways. Stay tuned for that! If you have any other questions about this haul and/or any other products that I bought, let me know.

QUESTIONS:
What do you think about this haul?
Do you ever have hassle whenever you are shopping at CVS?
Did you buy anything from the sales at CVS?
