Drugstore and Ulta Haul!

Eyes

Eye products

• Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strip in Nude – I love PF cheek products so I thought I’d give this a shot but it is definitely a let down. The shades look beautiful in the palette but most of them aren’t even pigmented enough to be worth swatching. I’m going to try using them wet and I’ll let you know if it makes any difference.
• Rimmel Glam Eyes eyeshadow quad in #028 English Breakfast – Another let down of pretty but not very pigmented shadows. Again, I’m going to try them wet.
• Rimmel Scandaleyes waterproof kohl eyeliner in Taupe
• Wet ‘n Wild Idol Eyes Creme Shadow Pencil in #E130 Pixie
• Jordana Fabuliner liquid eyeliner in Black
• Jordana Easyliner For Eyes retractable pencil in Mint
• Maybelline The Falsies Big Eyes mascara
• ELF Wet Gloss Lash & Brow clear mascara

Anyone want to buy these hair extensions??!

They are BRAND NEW and never worn!!

I bought these today from Sally’s and got the 14″ instead of 18″ thinking it would be long enough. They are the same length as my regular hair and I can’t return them 😦

I got them for $99 and I’m selling them for $75 if you’re interested! They actually cost $125 without the Sally’s card discount. I’ll pay to ship them to you anywhere in the U.S.

More info about them:

• Shade is called caramel and is basically a dirty blonde color.
• Hair is very soft and straight.
• Very easy to put in with clips (comes with instructional booklet too).

Product Includes:

• 8 pieces with clips
• one 8″ wide weft
• one 7″ wide weft
• one 6″ wide weft
• one 5.75″ wide weft
• four 1.5″ wide wefts
• two 1″ wide wefts without clips
• two free clips

8″ wide weft

Hair in the box

Proof I bought them today and paid $99 for them!

Large Collective Haul!

Okay so I clearly have a problem when it comes to online shopping when there is a free shipping spending deal.
