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 Drugstore Fun

I really look forward to posting about drugstore hauls. I love the variety of things you can find and all the greats deals you can get with sales, coupons, and store card specials. A good sale price is my ultimate shoppers high!

I found these goodies at Family Dollar, Walgreens, and Rite Aid

50ct Cotton Rounds

Now I realize this is nothing fantastic or exciting but I love using cotton rounds and was running out when I saw these packages 2/$1 and they are the softest cotton rounds I have ever used! They are amazing. I used to buy the generic Walmart brand which I thought were fine until I used these and am totally obsessed. They are a little bit thicker than the Walmart ones and are like 50 times softer. I love them.

Duo eyelash adhesive

Forever ago I ordered some false lashes from e.l.f. but had ZERO luck with the adhesive that came with the lashes. Luckily, I didn't have to dig deep into the blogging community before finding out Duo lash adhesive is the best drugstore adhesive out there. I have worn false lashes once since purchasing this and they lasted me all through shopping, dinner, and a movie (I took them off when I got home so I don't know how long they could have lasted). Wearing the lashes was driving me crazy but only because it was my first time and it felt weird. They didn't feel loose or flimsy at all and once I had them on they didn't budge one bit. I'm really glad I purchased this product because my lashes looked so cool and if I can just get used to how it feels to wear false lashes I really think I could  wear them everyday!

Scuncii Headbands from Walgreens

The plastic flower headband is my absolute favorite. I actually had it once before but it broke when I hit my head while wearing it. Seriously the cutest headband ever. And it's perfect for wearing my hair up or down and it dresses up casual outfits or messy buns instantly.

L'Oreal Paris H.I.P. Kohl eyeliner in Navy

This was on sale for 75% off at Walgreens, I think they were trying to compete with the CVS beauty clearance. It always sounded so intriguing and I figured for a couple bucks I might as well give it a try. I have played around with it once and wasn't too impressed with it. Now it's obviously not something I have used before so I'm sure it will take practice but the applicator is really hard, not soft like a brush, and there is a ton of fall out because it is a pigment... It sounds like a really cool idea but I just think the applicator is wrong. Because the wand is hard it's difficult to transfer the product onto my lids.

Dream Mousse concealer in Fair Light 0-1

This was also 75% off at Walgreens. I already had this concealer in the next darkest shade and I love the coverage but it was just a tiny bit too dark for me so when I saw this shade on clearance I snatched it up. I think I will save the darker one for summer when my skin is a little tanner. I hope the reason all the dream mousse is on clearance isn't because it's being discontinued, I love it and really don't want to have to find a new concealer.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear nail color in Lacey Lilac

This line of Sally Hansen polishes are some of my favorite they make. I've never tried their 7-in-1 complete manicure polishes which I'm sure are even more fabulous but of the ones I have tried, I love these. I really like pastel shades and I'm glad I could find this super gorgeous one.

Color Me Glow 12 shades eyeshadow by Profusion

I saw a blog post about these shadows here. Then when I was at Walgreens I saw their display and thought for $0.99 I couldn't go wrong.

The shades all have a really nice metallic/shimmer finish to them but I will admit they are quite powdery. But it's worth it for all the awesome colors you get. I wouldn't try wearing them without a primer, but with my e.l.f. mineral primer they are quite long wearing.

Neutrogena Lip Boost intense moisture therapy

I had a $3.00 off coupon and hadn't used it by it's expiration date so I wanted to make sure I used it that day. Unfortunately, instead of buying something I knew I would like and spending a little more, I wanted to get the best deal by buying the least expensive item and ended up with this awful lip balm treatment. I will admit it has a super smooth texture but it borders greasy and has the worst smell/taste. It reminds me of the Almay Pure Blends gloss in Natural. They both taste chemically with a hint of play dough. Gross. Now I know this is a medicated lip balm and not a sparkly colored gloss so I can't judge it on the same scale but does it have to taste so horrid??! I'm going to keep it on hand for my next dry, chapped, and cracked lip fiasco and see if it can deliver, otherwise it's going out the window!

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Blush

This beauty is from Rite Aid, I found it in their 75% off clearance while I was doing some Christmas shopping with my mom. It's my first of these Revlon lipsticks, but so far I love it. The more I look at it on my lips above I feel it's showing up a little too light. I think it's a tad bit darker in person, but not by much. It's very smooth and the packaging is so pretty! It's the expensive feel and results with the itty bitty price tag, my favorite!

Revlon ColorStay lipstick in Cozy Coral

I did not realize how coral this lipstick was. I know what you are thinking, Brittany, the lid is clear how could you not tell it's color? But I think I lightened the color in my mind while I was at the store because the price tag said 75% and I love lipstick. Then I put some on and BAM I couldn't pretend anymore, this stuff is full on coral and bordering on orange. Luckily with a light hand it's not as shocking and actually quite wearable.

Here are the swatches of both the Revlon lipsticks

ColorStay on the Left and ColorBurst on the Right

Here is the ColorStay on my lips

And here I layered it with the Goldie lip gloss in Nylon I got from BeautyTicket.com which you can see in my haul here.

Those are all the fun things I got from my last collective drugstore shopping. I hope you saw something that interested you and perhaps want to try also. If you have already tried something I just got, let me know what you think below. Coming up next I have a mini e.l.f. haul, a few small Bath&Body Works goodies, and a really big CVS Beauty Clearance haul!
