Target, Walmart, and Big Lots Haul

Over my birthday weekend I did a little shopping and thought I would show you what I picked up.

Big Lots

Almay Pure Blends translucent shimmer

This was an impulse purchase, as most Big Lots purchases tend to be. It's a subtle highlights that can be used for cheekbones, brow bones, or inner corner of the eye.

Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in Soft Plum

I love these mousse blushes. They are so easy to blend and this shade in particular will be great for Fall!

Revlon ColorStay Overtime lip color in Perennial Peach

I'm so glad I bought this product. The color is gorgeous (although not very peachy in my opinion), pigmented, and SO long lasting. It is not the texture of a stain but it really does adhere to the lips and last for hours. I love it.

Walmart

Equate Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

I ran out of my Walgreens brand eye makeup remover (which is fantastic) so I decided to give this one a shot. I haven't tried it out yet.

Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Fractured Foil 

I was so excited when I saw these at my Walmart! They only had silver, hot pink, and white. While I wanted all three, I only chose silver. I love it because it is sparkly!

Rimmer Lasting Finish Pro nail polish in Gold Silk

If you have read my blog before, you know this is my absolute favorite nail polish brand. Every shade I own is opaque after one or two coats, long lasting, and the brush is fantastic! I call this shade my grown up nail polish.

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship shampoo

My hair is the longest it has ever been in my life and I have heard good things about this shampoo so I bought it! That's pretty much all the thought that went into purchasing this.

I haven't used it yet. It leaked. BLAST!

TARGET

I love these little earring trios from Target. They always have two small studs and then a larger more fun pair. While I love the pearls and flowers, I bought this for the owls! Gah! I love them!

I got this adorable cream colored crocheted headband! I love soft headbands like this that go all around your head. I have worn this two or three times and I'm a little disappointed because it got stretched out putting it on and taking it off my head. I can still wear it but it takes more re-adjusting throughout the day because it is a little stretched out. Sad.

I got a very plain satin black headband that I couldn't find when writing this. I also got two pairs of shoes which I am saving for another post!

Those are all the fun things I picked up while out and about shopping.

Hope you enjoyed!

NOTD: Summer Nails!

Hey ladies!

The other night I decided to do a fun girly over the top summer inspired manicure on my nails.

I used the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Yellow Kitty. I really don't like that nail polish, by the way. I had to do 4 coats before it was opaque. Do you know how long it takes FOUR COATS TO DRY?! Forever. Then I put on lots of little nail stickers. On my ring fingers I put WnW Wild Shine in Sparked.

I'm not the greatest or the most creative when it comes to painting my nails, but this was a fun manicure to give myself.

Hope you enjoyed!

NOTD: Revlon Lilac Pastelle + WnW Wild Shine in Sparked

Hi there!

I was craving a very girly manicure and decided to use my Revlon polish in Lilac Pastelle.

As you can tell it's not really lilac at all but a pale pink. I love the shade. I had to apply three coats for full opacity. Then for my accent nails I chose Wet n Wild Wild Shine in Sparked. I used two coats.

I love the final look. This was such a fun manicure. It was girly and very pretty. I love it.

NOTD: Hard Candy polish in Sky

I painted my nails for Easter with two coats of Hard Candy nail polish in Sky and Wet 'n' Wild Wild Shine in Hallucinate.

I love this light blue polish and I absolute adore this glitter polish by WnW. I think they are so gorgeous together and very appropriate for the season

SPRING!

NOTD: Pink&Black Shatter

Hey Ladies,

As I'm sure you can tell, I just can't stop using my Black Shatter. Here's a look I did using it with one of my L.A. Colors nail polishes. 

I mentioned in my last NOTD that my black shatter is getting goopy. This time, it was even worse. It was kind of hard to use... STOP IT MY BELOVED BLACK SHATTER, stop drying out, getting thick, goopy, and clumpy. You are breaking my heart.

Loving my black shatter, obsessed is more accurate!

NOTD: NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Wing It Wine Creme (121)

Hey Ladies, I hope you are all doing well. I painted my nails Thursday night and haven't been able to stop looking at them since so I decided to do a Nail Of The Day post.

I bought this polish months ago but I can't recall ever actually wearing it (oops!) but boy am I glad that I did because I totally love it....

That picture is not totally accurate of the color. I feel like the bottle is spot on but the nails are coming off way wrong. There is so much more gold and champagne to it.

The only way I could capture the gold and champagne was without a flash which resulted in poor quality pictures... so please forgive :)

Those are much more accurate but there really is no good way to capture this shade because it looks different at every angle. Mauve, purple, gold, pink, copper, champagne. In some lights it makes me think of a brand new penny. I love it!

As far as the polish itself goes, the pictures above have 3 coats. I did 2 coats on Thursday and then did another coat this morning. I haven't experienced any chipping yet (without a top coat... I'm too impatient to wait for something else to dry) but my experience with these NYC polishes is that I can get 3 perfect days without a top coat and no chipping. Considering it was a measly $0.98 and I enjoy painting my nails, that's a perfect number of days.

I feel like I read somewhere that this shade is being discontinued... did I make that up or is it true? Anyone know?

I hope not because the color is gorgeous.
