Weekly Haul.

Hey! How is evveryones weekend going? Too short, I already know! I did some shopping so I guess I can forgive father time.

 

First I went to Ulta on my lunch break yesterday..I went in to buy a new foundation, but we all know that's not all I walked out with..

 

 

 

 

 

I ended up getting the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation. I have been lusting after the Estee Lauder Double Wear for months, but I kept having second thoughts since it is such a high coverage foundation. I really don't need a ton of coverage. Luckily I have never suffered from acne so I don't have many blemishes or scarring. I also don't have a lot of redness or discoloration. I do have freckles across my nose and under my eyes, but I usually don't go out of my way to cover them. I guess the more I thought about it, the more I talked myself out of buying it. I also wanted the Laura Mercier Silk Cream foundation, but honestly Ulta is much closer to my house and job than Sephora is. Shhh. I decided I wanted something with enough coverage to even out my skin tone, cover anything that needed covering, and wouldn't get too oily through out my work day..and thanks to the wonderful world of youtube, I chose this. I won't give too much away before the review, but its amazing so far.

 

I also wanted to try out a new primer. I have never been one for primers because the texture kind of grosses me out. I thought I had the perfect fix when I found the Benefit Stay Flawless primer that is in a stick form, but I HATED it and returned it. So I decided to try the NYX Shine Killer. I mainly wanted a primer because IT IS SO HOT lately and by lunch I feel like my makeup has slid down to somewhere near my ankles. My only concern about primers is being petrified they will break me out, so I never venture too far with them. I guess one won't hurt.

 

Next, I saw the new Revlon Chalkboard polishes. I definitely had no intentions of liking, or even buying any of these UNTIL it clicked..the black was matte. I have been in search for the Essie Matte polish for months and have yet to find it. I have ordered one from another brand online, but who has time to wait?! I do not typically like black polish, but I'm hoping the matte black looks nice for fall..Halloween if nothing else. The mint color is cute too, so that's a plus.

 

And THEN..the nasty little checkout line got me again. Nothing but Impulse Purchase City around there. I ended up with a Benefit Erase Paste, which I have wanted for the longest time. I'm not impressed. Its an awkward color, doesn't blend well, and has a weird smell. I think I'll try it a little more before I call it quits. I also picked up the Macadamia hair oil. I have wanted this forever, but the full size is a little steep. The sample size I got was $7-10 and will probably last forever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Then today while running errands with my  niece, she asked if we could go in Target to just look around. I said no, knowing that no trip to Target ends in just looking around. Needless to say, we walked out of Target with $80 worth of stuff..luckily, some stuff was on clearance.

 

The first thing I got was a perfume. As a twenty-five year old adult, I tend to wear more "grown up scents", but something about the Justin Bieber - Someday perfume just had me hooked from the first time I smelled it in CVS. I could never bring myself to buy the full size, but good ole Target had the small bottle..thanks a lot.

 

I needed some new facewash and have been liking the orange Morning Burst, so I got the blue one. Not sure if there's a real difference, I guess we will find out.

 

Nail polish remover and pony tails, nothing special.

 

I bought the Sally Hansen cuticle oil thanks to my co-worker who has gotten into a habit of oiling her cuticles all day at work. Seems to be working for her, so I caved.

 

Finally, you gotta love Target's clearance stuff. I got a 3 pack of Crest 3D White toothpaste for $5. Im pretty sure that one tube is usually around that price, so why not? I got three Sally Hansen nail polishes for $1.74 each. They are more spring/summer colors, but who cares when it comes to nail polish? I DON'T! I needed bobby pins and found a super cute polka dot bobby pin tin full of them for way less than a regular pack, so I can't complain about that when I go through bobby pins like nobody's business. And the last two things i got were the John Frieda Full Repair deep conditioner for under $5! And the Aussie Hair Insurance leave in conditioner for about $1! I am really excited about these two since I am on my healthy hair kick.

 

Hopefully I won't be doing any more shopping til next payday, but you never know. I do plan to order some new makeup brushes when I get paid. I really want Sigma brushes, but have been interested in the Bubbi brushes recently. I have a week and a half to research some more.

 

Hope you enjoyed this haul and look forward to some upcoming reviews!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, beautifuls!
