Avon Haul :)

So my aunt just started selling Avon so my dad said my mom and i could buy some stuff from her. And this is what i got :) Sorry for the poor quality photos. My camera was dead so i had to use my phone camera.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I got this foundation brush because i was in desperate need for one. I've used it basically everyday since i got it. It's not the greatest brush, since the product often gets stuck in the bristles and it makes it hard to apply.

I thought i'd try this liquid foundation, just to give it a shot. One thing about buying from a catalog/online is that you really don't know what color you are unless you've bought from them before. This was my problem and the shade i got is a little darker than my natural skin tone. It's not a big deal, but i haven't seen much of a difference in with my skin either. What's good about this though is that it has an SPF in it. Gotta protect your skin from those harmful rays!

I got this cheek stain. It's actually very pretty and subtle. I got it in Blushing Nude.

Here is a swatch of what it looked like on my hand.

I also got this Nailwear Pro Enamel in Jade. It is such a pretty green. Definitely not a color you'd see often. It went on very easily and stayed for a week and a half before i took it off. It's very pretty, light, and perfect for summer!

The last thing i got was this Liquid Freeze Quick Dry Spray. I kind of already convinced myself this wasn't going to work before i tried it. But when i went to paint my nails, i thought i'd just give it a chance. So i sprayed it on my nails, and after 2 min, they were dry. I was so surprised that it worked, that i'm going to be using this all the time. It works like magic :D

Hope all is well xx

Neiman Marcus Haul

So my grandma got me a pair of shoes from Neiman Marcus for my birthday, but they really weren't me. So i returned them and they sent me a giftcard. I was originally going to buy a handbag but decided not to. Instead i got:

All of this :P

1)

This is what i was MOST excited to get :) It's my new Marc by Marc Jacobs Cosmetics case. I thought it was going to be on the small side, but i opened up the package and it's actually HUGE. But i'm really excited for that because it can hold all my make-up when i go to the beach in a few weeks. In the picture it looks like the hearts are just a light yellow, but in person its actually grey and neon green. It's so adorable! It was o

n sale for $68, so if i hadn't had the gift card i would have never bought it. But thank the lord i did :) i love it soooooooo much.

2)

I've been really into different lipsticks lately. I got this one by Clinique. It's called Plum Nude, and its a really pretty rich color. It also has an SPF 15, which is great now that its summer time. It's important to protect your lips as well as your skin! By buying this lipstick, it came with Clinique's free gift. It's their High Lengths Mascara in Black.

Here is the lipstick on:

And this is what the mascara wand looks like:

3)

I got these two brushes. The first one is a Bobbi Brown Eye Blending Brush. I DESPERATELY needed a blending brush and decided to get one with my gift card. I haven't tried this out yet but i'm sure it will work wonders. The second HUGE brush i got is a Clinique Powder brush. It worked wonderful with my powder foundation this morning. :) Very happy with it.

4)

The last things in this package were free samples. I got the choice of 3 free samples with my purchase. I got Genifique by Lancome (Youth Activationg Cream Serum--which my mom said i didn't need at my age ha), Express Flower Gel mask by Sisley (a hydrating, toning, and firming mask), and Shampoo and Conditioner by Fekkai (infused with Olive Oil). I was so excited i got these free samples with it all. I love free things! :)

What were some of your favorite purchases you got with a giftcard?

KB Socks from Costco!

KB Socks

These are my ALL TIME favorite socks :) I know it's kinda weird that I'm doing a review on socks but oh well. You can get these socks at Costco, for $9.99. I believe that's the only place they sell them because i've looked online and they don't sell these types really anywhere else. So if you don't live in the US or live somewhere not near a Costco, sorry :/ Anyway, they come in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes. They are ankle socks so you can wear them with most tennis shoes. I like to wear them with my Uggs in the winter for some extra warmth, but sometimes they slip off. I think these socks are super fun and are extremely popular where i live. You can even mix and match the colors and patterns :) I love them. I got these on Sunday when i went to Costco with my mom. This pack comes with a pair of: Red, Rose, Peach, Yellow, Lime Green, Pale Violet, Bright Blue, White, and Pale Blue :)

Mini Haul :)

Sorry it's been awhile! But i'm back and now that it's summer i will be posting more regularly. Here is some of the stuff i got while i was out shopping today.

1) Jumper from American Eagle ($19.95)

2) Lovely Lilac- Sally Hansen. I'm currently wearing this.

It's a really pretty light purple color. Perfect for summer :)

3) Green with Envy- Sally Hansen.

A bright lime green. Looks really good on.

3) Rebalancing Day Fluid Moisturizer with SPF 15- N7.

Will help with my oily skin as well as saving it from the sun.

4) Eye Makeup Remover-Target Brand.

Says that it doesn't leave oily skin but it does. Tip: Rinse with water after using then apply moisturizer.

5) Fiji Deodorant- Old Spice.

I use men's deodorant because it works way better because it is stronger. I picked a scent that doesn't smell too much like a guy so it'll still work but i won't be getting weird looks cause i smell like an Axe Commercial.

Here is what the Lovely Lilac looks on. I have a tan skin tone so it will look different on fairer people. But either way i think this is a very pretty color. Perfect for a pastel filled Summer.
