Collective haul

Wow, okay so as stated in the last post, I have done a bit of spending lately on makeup. It's like a scary addiction. I'm kind of worried that when I'm older and on my own that I'll chose makeup over food and end up dying of starvation. Not good! But anyway, I just wanted to post a quick thing on what I got so you guys can know what reviews to expect coming up. There's also been a little other buying in the past that I may review too, but I don't know. This is haul though and I figured since all the other people on YouTube post their hauls, I might as well.

So last Saturday I wanted to go to Target because emilynoel83 said she got an ecotools brush on clearance for a great price. Well I love ecotools and this brush looked big enough and I had been looking for a bigger brush for blush. So we headed to Target. Well Target decided they were gonna have a mass clearance on a lot of their makeup. That's good news for me! So I talked my mom into getting the following things for me from Target: Physician's Formula Eye Enhancing Gel CreamLiner for Hazel eyes, Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Concealer in Fair Light 0-1, and Boots Expert Sensitive Light Moisturizing Lotion.

Then we headed on over to WalMart because I'd been wanting a face primer for a while and decided this was the weekend to get it. The Hard Candy Sheer Envy Face Primer had been compared to Smashbox's face primer in Light or something and said it was as good if not better. And seeing as $8 is a whole lot cheaper than $32, we got it. Wonderful.

Finally we headed to one more drugstore and they had Rimmel for sale, BOGO 50%. That's not my favorite kind of sale because it's basically like saying 25% off but you actually have to buy two to get them both 25% off. Cheap. But since I wanted these two lipsticks, I thought a cheap sale is better than no sale. So I got two Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks (the kind in purple tubes) in Coral Shimmer (120) and Dreamy (140).

Then on Sunday the drugstore had an awesome sale (as if to follow up on Target's awesomeness) and had a 25% sale on Revlon and Maybelline, and 50% off on Wet 'n Wild. Well I went crazy. I got the coloricon 6-color eyeshadow palette in Greed Gourmandise, coloricon blusher in Pearlescent Pink, and MegaEyes Crème Eyeliner in Black/Noir (all Wet 'n Wild) and then a Maybelline eye shadow single in Champagne Fizz (one from their Chic Naturals line).

Then yesterday I was given $20 to go shopping with my aunt while here on vacation and we of course went to my favorite drugstore. They still had 50% off Wet 'n Wild so I went ahead and got the MegaGlo Illuminating Powder in Catwalk Pink (345) and a coloricon eye shadow single in Brulee/Crème Brûlée. Pretty fun. I wasn't anywhere near spending all $20, but that was my intention since Mom had gotten so much for me last weekend.

So be expecting reviews on these soon. Ciao!

A bit of news

Well there's definitely a more in depth update coming. I have bought so much makeup in the past week that I'm going to report a collective haul. The stores were awesome and put a bunch of their makeup on sale because Valentine's Day is coming up on Monday (don't let your significant other forget!).

Plus, lately I've been working on a tutorial to submit in a contest being held by bebexo. I don't know how to pronounce the name (so I'm a little irritated in the video) but it's nice to type it and not worry. So when I finally finish the video, I'll post it here. If I ever finish it. It's being a pain. A huge pain. Does anyone know a good video editor online or a free downloadable one?

So if the video works out and I end up getting a decent resolution camera, I'll make more tutorials. That's a little easier than typing everything out. Except that there's no good lighting at my house. Oh well, we're gonna make things work!

Even if I don't get the video to my satisfaction in time to submit by Monday, I'll still try and finish it and post it here. It's a pretty spring look with a simple pink eye and fresh face. Nice and dewy.

I hope you all have a wonderful, beautiful day tomorrow (it's night right now where I am) and make the most of the weekend! I love weekends. Who doesn't? Post a comment on what you feel!!!
