Mini Beauty Product Haul


Everything I got.


 I wanted to get new foundation and I always wanted to try out BB creams so I went ahead and got this small tube of it. This was $6. I am undecided on whether I like it or not. I prefer my foundations to have medium/full coverage and this doesn't have that much. I guess its good for those good skin days. It is also makes your face waaaaay lighter but if you love to apply bronzer and blush and setting powder you should be okay. Since it's supposed to make your face look paler you can go overboard with bronzer/blush and still look normal!


 Since I was still on my foundation kick and since I had a $20 off of $50 coupon for Sephora I decided to try out this one. It was either this or Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation which I will probably try in the future. This foundation has a floralish fragrance which you can smell for a little while after you apply it. This has medium but buildable coverage. It really evens out your skin tone. So far, so good. This was $48.


I love how the top of the bottle is. The bottle is also pretty heavy. I got the shade 021 Linen.

  

Since I needed to spend $2 more to use my coupon I got another bottle of Philosophy's Purity Made Simple for $13. I am still undecided on this. It isn't great but it also isn't horrible.

 
 Thennn I got the infamous and IMPOSSIBLE to find EOS lip balms! I got this on sale for only $2.99 and I love how it smells. I'm gonna go check out other locations to see if I can find the other flavours in stock. 

I also got a big bottle of Aussie shampoo for around $5 at Walmart but I figured everyone knows what a bottle of shampoo looks like so I didn't take any pictures of it...

Festive Nails!!


Since it's the last week of school before break I thought I'd do a christmasy nail polish! I used one coat of a red nail polish and then one coat of my sparkly red polish. I also used OPI base coat and top coat.


I used one coat of Revlons Mon Cherry polish.


Then I used one coat of China Glaze Love Marilyn glitter polish. This was in my recent nail polish haul as well. This polish needs a polish underneath it to make it pop. I think this would also look awesome over a black or white polish since the tiny red glitter flakes don't show up that well over the other red polish. The silver flakes really shine and sparkle when they hit the light!

OPI Meep Meep Meep


This is actually last weeks nail polish. This picture was taken right before I took it off yesterday (saturday). As you can see it lasts all week without any chips!! If anything, my nail polish is just a bit less shiny by the end of the week. This polish is a pink glittery nail polish but it isn't the type of glitter that takes forever to get off. I used just one coat of this polish with OPI topcoat as usual!


This is OPI Meep Meep Meep from the Muppet collection. It was in my recent nail polish haul!
