Urban Decay Haul

As I was browsing around the Internet on the 25th, I saw that Urban Decay was having a flash sale. Once I headed over to Urban Decay, I saw they had given their site a makeover and in honor of that makeover the Feminine, Dangerous, and Fun palettes were half price along with their amazing primer potion in "Greed" for two days only.

I decided that of course I didn't already have way too much makeup and bought both the fun and feminine palettes and the primer potion. I also hit up the sale and got one of their vintage eyeshadows to make my order hit $50 so I could get the free shipping :)


First things first, let me show you what it all looks like :)


We will start off with the vintage shadow. I got it in Ecstasy. It is a really pretty purple shadow with a slight pink tint. I already own a few of the vintage eyeshadows and for $4 you can't beat it.



The next item is the Feminine Palette. It has six eyeshadows, and a travel- size Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Wallflower. The names of the shadows are Bordello, Skimp, AC/DC, Gunmetal, Hijack, and Lost.



Bordello- pale mauve with gold micro-glitter
Skimp- light peachy pearl
AC/DC- smokey greyish purple shimmer
Gunmetal- dark metallic grey shimmer with silver micro-glitter
Hijack- deep metallic teal shimmer
Lost- medium metallic brown shimmer

Wallflower- nude creamy pink




The Fun palette also has six eyeshadows and a travel size Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Midnight Cowboy. The names of the shadows are Deep End, Sellout, Fishnet, Stray Dog, and Freakshow.



Deep End- bright teal shimmer
Sellout- pinky champagne shimmer
Fishnet- bright pink with purple shift
Stray Dog- cool metallic ash brown shimmer
Freakshow- deep royal purple pearl



Midnight Cowboy Lip Junkie Lip Gloss- sheer nude sparkle


The really cool thing about these palettes is that you can take the eyeshadow holder out. It has a magnet on it and you can reuse the case for something else.

 
 
And last I got the Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) in Greed. It is a shimmering gold color. While i like this one, My favorite of the four is Eden. To me it feels a little thicker and I feel it makes my shadows last longer.







Did anyone else buy any goodies during the flash sale? If so, what did ya get?

My CVS Mini Haul

Yesterday I had to make a quick trip to my local CVS and decided to check out a few things. I have not been in the in quite some time so I was browsing over everything when I came across the Wet-n-Wild display.

The first thing I picked up was their Coloricon Bronzer in the shade 743A Reserve Your Cabana. It was the lightest shade they had, because I am pretty pale right now. To me it seems more like a highlighter but still pretty non the less. It was $4.19 which I thought was a pretty decent price.

The second thing that I got was a Mega Slicks lip gloss in 560A Sweet Glaze. I haven't used their lip glosses in a long time and wanted to check them out again. It is a pinkish color, basically like their clear gloss with a hint of pink. It smells really good and is really smooth on the lips. It was $1.99, can't beat that!

The next two items I got were eyeshadows (imagine that), one is the smaller 3 pan compact and the other is a 8 pan compact. Starting with the 3 pan compact in 380B Walking on Eggshells. They are three very pretty neutral colors. Good for a work day look. Retailed for $2.99

The 8 pan compact in 736 Petal Pusher is breath taking! One side is purples and the other burgundy. The two defines are in a blueish glitter and a charcoal glitter. Both very pretty! This retailed for $4.99

The last item I bought was their Mega Protein Mascara in C137 Very Black. It is soy and wheat protein fortified, it is enriched with acai oil and is paraben-free. I am anxious to see how good it is! This retailed for $2.19


I think I did pretty good on this little haul. I only spent $17.17. That's pretty good in my book. I'll post pictures in just a little bit
