February Collective Haul

Hey Everyone, this is a round up of just about everything I bought in February.

Rite Aid

Wet n Wild Coloricon Trio in Silent Treatment

Although I wasn't able to find the new 8-pan palettes, I did find the new trios. I was surprised this was the only trio to catch my eye and even though I wanted to buy them all just for being new and exciting, I stuck with the only one I would wear. The shadows are as lovely as ever. Exactly what I expect from WnW, soft pigmented smooth long lasting beautiful.

Wet N Wild Fast Dry nail polish in Teal of Fortune

The selection of the new nail polishes was not that great. Teal of Fortune really caught my eye though. It's a gorgeous sparkly shimmery teal. I haven't tried it on yet but something tells me this is going to be sheer.

Wet n Wild Wild Shine nail polish in Night Prowl

Oh my goodness, is this shade new? I didn't think they were coming out with new shades of the Wild Shine line but I have never seen this shade before. It is such a gorgeous sheer black with loads of fine purple glitter. Gahh I love it!

Wet n Wild Wild Shine nail polish in Rain Check

Another I have never seen before. It's nothing super spectacular but it is unique. Silvery bluish lilac. I also think this will be quite sheer and might need at least 2 or 3 coats.

K-Mart

Wet n Wild Fast Dry in Party of Five Glitters

I love all the big chunky glitter polishes coming out lately. This is no exception. The teal, red, pink, silver, green, light blue, purple glitters look fantastic together!

Conair brush&comb set

I was looking at boar bristle brushes and somehow ended up buying this brush which is not boar bristled but just says "great for teasing" on the package. The bristles feel like they could do the job but maybe I should just return it and get one that is actually boar bristles. TBD

Chapstick true shimmer in Tropical

There is quite the story behind this chapstick. It was believed to be limited edition and discontinued. Who would have thought it would be discovered in a K-Mart located in a place called Spanish Fork. crazy.

Ulta

(first ever trip to Ulta I might add)

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

After all the raves about how awesome this is, I couldn't not get it. I haven't tried it in place of my primer but I do love it for my waterline. It wakes my tired eyes right up!

eos lip balm in Honeysuckle Honeydew

Now I have 2 eos lip balms and I love them so much! This scent is a lot sweeter than I was expecting but I do enjoy it.

I also got the Shrek O.P.I. mini set for my sister as part of an

early birthday present.

Sometimes something is just meant for someone

and this is one of those things

I'm really bad at gift giving, not to say I don't like giving gifts, the giving isn't the part I'm bad at it's the picking out something meaningful/thoughtful/awesome.

This was perfect for her.

I felt very happy about giving it to her.

The fact that I hid it in her purse and it took 10 minutes of me asking her for things from her purse before she found it was also fantastic

 

Bath and Body Works

Bath and Body Words body lotion in Carried Away

I got this tiny thing for $1.00. It's their new scent for spring. I'm glad I tried it because I'm absolutely obsessed! So fresh and floral and girly. I love it!!

Bath and Body Works PocketBac hand sanitizer in Dashers Apple Mint

I got this for $0.25. I wish I had gotten 5 of them.

I'm a huge fan of anti-bac!

Bath and Body Works wallflower and refill in Twilight Woods

I got this cute heart wallflower for my bedroom. I chose the Twilight Woods because I have the lotion and it smells so good. Turns out Twilight Woods turned wallflower smells like old ladies. And it is a strong overpowering seeps into your clothes kind of stank. I can smell it the second I open the front door despite the two other wallflowers plugged in and closer to the door. My nose is ever so sightly becoming numbed to the stankiness. I can't wait for it to run out.

Bath and Body Works wallflower refills in Japanese Cherry Blossom and Winter Candy Apple

One of these will be replacing the Twilight Woods. Not sure which. Haven't smelled either. A little worried after this most recent scent disaster!!

Target

Target brand earrings in ADORABLE!

I love this earring set but the flowers are the whole reason I bought it. They are huge and chunky and understated statements.

Target brand headband

I love headbands, and I love anything with pearls. this was fate

e.l.f. Complexion Perfection face powder

I haven't heard a whole lot about this so I'm not sure what to expect

It's supposed to help neutralize discoloration and blotchiness

I put it on after foundation and concealer but before my regular powder.

SomethingStore.com

So my husband and I came across this website called The Something Store.

You make a payment of $10.00 and give them your shipping information.

You don't pay extra for tax or shipping, it's just $10.00

and a few weeks later, your package arrives and you don't know what your getting until you open it

So yes, I paid a website I hadn't heard of to send me something random... seems silly

It definitely takes some faith in them that they won't just take your money and run

but it was so exciting.

They sent me this really cute&simple necklace

 

I got this necklace in December but realized I never showed you guys.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this necklace. It's my only "statement" type necklace.

Walmart

Garnier Nutrioniste Moisture Renew Refreshing gel-cream

I lost my moisturizer when I went to Arizona and was so sad about it considering I practically had a full jar. My face is so happy to be using this again. I didn't realize what an amazing difference it makes on my skin.

Conair self-grip rollers, 31 ct

These were kind of an impulse buy, but at the same time I have always wanted to try them.

I think they will be great for really soft understated curls and volumizing my roots.

Baby Phat Dare Me perfume, 0.5oz

This was originally $10.00 but I had a $5.00 off coupon so of course I couldn't pass it up. I'm glad I didn't, it smells so good! I have another $5.00 off coupon, I might just have to go buy a bigger bottle.

Secret Scent Expressions deodorant in Fabulously Floral

This is one of those gel deodorants which are hard to get used to at first when you are used to the regular stick form but I love the scent and it works really well. 

 

New Wallet! (and from Walmart, WHAT!?)

I was in desperate need of a new wallet and this jumped out at me as I was walking past this section of the store. I love the color and it has tons of storage.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail color in Mint Sorbet

I gave up on getting the e.l.f. mint green nail polish. When I think about it though, this was $1.00 more but probably 3x better. The color is so pretty, I absolutely love it. I think my next nail polish quest will be to find a Tiffany blue.

 

Equate makeup remover wipes

So these are the Walmart brand makeup wipes. I tried the exfoliating ones this time. I'm not sure how I feel about them yet. They work fine as far as removing my face makeup (I don't use them on my eyes) but I'm not sure yet if they are actually exfoliating. We will see.

Hope you enjoyed!

Collective Haul

Oh my goodness, I am so excited to show you what I got in this haul because I got really good deals and really great products!

I'm going to start with the things I bought from Big Lots. I had never really been in a Big Lots before, and I had really low expectations so you can imagine my surprise when I saw this decently sized makeup section with Almay, Revlon, Rimmel, Maybelline, Covergirl, ELF, Sally Hansen, and Prestige. I couldn't believe it!

ELF Eye Combo Pack in black and clear, $2.00

I couldn't believe they had ELF! I'm so glad I got this little combo pack. It comes with an eye brightening eyeliner in black (I'm not sure what is so "brightening" about black), dual ended waterproof and regular mascara in black, and a dual ended clear brow and lash mascara. I haven't used the eye liner yet, but it's just a regular eyeliner. I do like the black mascara duo. It's the perfect kind of mascara to carry around in your purse! It's small, works really well, and you have the option of regular or waterproof. I don't know how well the waterproof withstands water because I haven't tried that end yet, so we will see. And my favorite thing from this combo pack is the clear mascara. Both ends have the same brush and same product but they separate it so you don't have to have to use the same thing on your lashes that you did on your brows and visa versa. I have crazy eyebrows and they don't stay put throughout the day and I touch my face all the time so my eyebrows are just crazy if I'm not careful and this stuff is like gold. I use it in the morning and my eyebrow hairs stay absolutely in place allllll day. It great because I brush them and groom them until they look exactly how I want them and then they don't move. I will warn you it can make your brows feel a little crusty or crunchy. That's a terrible way to put it...but it's the truth. They don't look gross or crunchy or "gelled" but if you touch your brows while wearing it, they are going to feel kind of hard. I don't have a problem with it because my eyebrows look fantastic but some people might.

Prestige eyeshadow in Wasabi, $1.50

I don't know how Big Lots got these shadows, but they are still in drugstores. I was at Rite Aid the night before I bought this and I almost bought this exact shadow in a different shade! And I believe at Rite Aide they were $3.00 or $4.00. I am so glad I didn't get them and went to Big Lots instead because this is a great price and SUCH a pretty shade. It's a very pearly, shimmery, iridescent shade of pale green. I love it! And I love the product in it's packaging, I mean what a cute and unique design! So loving this...



Revlon Soft on the Eyes sheer loose powder in Head in the Clouds, $2.00
My jaw hit the floor when I saw these at Big Lots! I bought this shadow in different colors like 3 years ago! And I paid at least $10.00 for it then. These colors are so pretty. My favorite is the lilac shade. They are very very sheer colors which normally drives me crazy, but I really like these ones. If you can find them, I totally recommend trying them out!


Rimmel Light Beam After Dark Lip Gloss in Disco Ball, $2.00
Haha!! Look there is a light! How awesome is that?! I bought this solely because it has a light in it! The packaging is just gorgeous and it comes with a handy little mirror. It's a clear gloss with gold glitters and it smells slightly fruity/tropical. The formula is average. The best thing about it is the light! I loove it. It's so entertaining. I'm going to be so disappointed when the battery dies.


Revlon New Complexion One-Step Compact Makeup in Honey Beige. $4.99

I hate when you can't actually see the product before purchasing it. It's soooo dark. I can't wear this. When a face product has a number I'm usually a 01-03 but 06 is the lightest shade they had at Big Lots. I used this product back in high school and I loved its full coverage, unfortunately I can't use this unless I get an orange spray tan. But it's another product I used to pay over $10.00 for.

Then I went to Kmart to check out the ELF display...

ELF Eye Brightening eyeshadow quad in Butternut, $1.00

Ahh these colors are sooo pretty. I have seen this quad used in quite a few different looks so I decided to pick it up. The few times I have used it I feel like it's quite a bit more matte than I was expecting but we will see. As you can see in the swatches these are very pretty and pigmented shades.

ELF Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Midnight and Coffee, $1.00 each

So my biggest disappointment with the trip to Kmart is that the ELF display was horrid. Half the products were crunched or ripped open and all of the liquid eyeshadows were completely dried out. Who does that!!?? Why don't they take down all the ruined and opened products?! I was hoping my lovely eyeliner pens would be the exception but the Midnight blue shade is almost dried out.... :( I was so disappointed.

Then my hubby let me pick out some fun perfumes for my birthday.

(Left to Right)

Paris Hilton, no clue what the name is. It's a girly floral scent.

Jessica Simpson Fancy, a warm musky almost vanilla brown sugar-y scent.

Guess, again no clue what the name is. This one is similar to the Paris Hilton scent but it's very alcohol-y at first. I have to put it on, not breathe for a second, and then I smell great!

Then I stopped at Rite Aid...
Jesse's Girl Eye Dust in Pixie Dust, $3.99

Oh my goodness, I love this stuff. It's ridiculously shimmery. It's not a very practical shade for everyday use, but I use it every chance I get. The way to my heart is with glitter.


Wet n Wild Coloricon eyeliner in Amethyst, $0.99

I have had a really hard time wearing pencil liners ever since I started using my ELF eyeliner pens but I couldn't resist this shade of purple. I was not disappointed. The shade is sooo pretty and it's decent lasting as well. I can't wait to try more of these Coloricon eyeliners.

And finally I went to the dollar store to see what I could find.
L.A. Colors Color Craze nail polish, $1.00

Okay how pretty are these colors?! The blue and plum are my favorite. I didn't realize how frosty the yellow was going to turn out so I don't like it as much but the other two are just the prettiest colors! I love these L.A. Colors nail polishes. I have 5 now!


Healing Waters body lotion in Hydrangea and Coconut Lime, $1.00

So I'm pretty sure this is just a random dollar store brand but I got them but they smelled amazing so I decided to give them a shot. The coconut lime smells soo yummy! The bottles are really big too, I'm so glad I got these.

Well that's all for now! I have my birthday haul coming up next and I got a ton of WnW stuff! I'm so excited to show you guys.
