3 of a Kind- Wet 'n Wild

Hello friends.  I ventured out to Big Lots while I was at school again.  I just can't help it.  I have a problem. lol.

I found this boxed Wet 'n Wild set for only $5.  Included in the set was one lip liner, 2 of these 3 of a kind cream sticks and one cream eye shadow set.

I am giving away the eye shadows in my 50 follower give-away.  The 3 of a kind sticks are not labeled with names, but one is a rose gold and one is a shimmery pink.  

Here are swatches of the sticks. First up is the rose gold and on the bottom is the shimmery pink stick.  On the left is a straight swatch and the right is where I blended it out with my fingers.

I had bought the set just for these.  You are able to use these on the lips, cheeks and eyes.  I will be using these primarily on the cheeks. 

Love,

Collective Haul & Give-Away Sneak Peek

Hello dolls.  I have been feeling under the weather lately, so I have been a bit behind in taking pictures.  Here is the backlog of things that I still have to photograph, swatch and post. 

I feel overwhelmed just looking at it.  I have decided to take all the pictures and then just smush them all into a collective haul post.  Most of these items were bought from when I was in Milwaukee for a friend's wedding and my trip to the Outlet mall in Baraboo, WI. 
 
Up first- my buys from a fragrance outlet store at the Tanger Outlet mall in Baraboo.  I was in the CCO and the lady told me that the fragrance store across from them also sold make up so I made a beeline to them after I paid for my purchases.  I was glad I stopped in.  They were selling NYX lip liners for $1 each!  I picked out 14.  Yes, that's right.  I said 14.  lol. Two are doubles that I am giving away.

 NYX lipliners

From left to right, here are the 12 names:  Plush Red, Hot Red, Prune, Fuchsia, Bloom, Hot Pink, Pinky, Rose, Flower, Coral, Natural, Burgundy.  

I am giving away Plush Red & Bloom in my 50 follower give-away.  :)

I also picked up this NYX blush for $1 in Taupe.  I thought that it would make a good contouring color because it is matte.  If not, it would also make a good shadow.

Swatch:  NXY blush in Taupe

I also stopped in Claires while I was there and picked up some items with the 10 for $10 deal.  Here are some of the things I got.

 Haul from Claire's

 Halloween False Lashes

 2 nail polishes

 bobby pins

 earrings

 Nail art stickers

 Ribbon Headband

I picked up two of the false lashes packages for Halloween because they look kind of fun.  I will also be giving away the bobby pins in my give-away.  They come in such a convenient, match-stick style case.  So cute.  I also bought another set of the earrings for my give-away as well. 

Next up, The Icing at Mayfair Mall in Milwaukee.  Here is my small, modest haul.

 Icing Nail Polish in Gimme Some Glitter

 Make up Brushes-buy 1 get 1 half off @ $6.50 each

 Kabuki brush

 Angled brush

These are super soft and are modeled after the EcoTools brushes in drugstores.  I don't have any of the EcoTools but these Icing brushes are super silky soft.

I also stopped at Forever21 to pick up some accessories.

 False lashes- I bought 2 sets of each style

 False lashes w/rhinestones $1

 Love & Beauty nail polish from Forever21

 Forever21 embellished feather necklace

I love this necklace.  I really like the small turquoise stone set in it.  I wore this to school the other day and got tons of compliments on it.  

Next up, H&M accessory buys.  I like this over-sized black onyx ring.  I bought it for around $5.  I have also been into these ribbon head bands.  This one was also around $5. 

 Black onyx ring from H&M

 Black leather headband from H&M

That's it for this collective haul.  Now, I'm sitting here looking at the mess that I made on my floor and getting overwhelmed at the thought of cleaning it all up.  haha.

Love,
