Haul: CVS Summer 2012 Clearance plus Extras

I took a couple trips to CVS to raid their clearance and because I had a couple of coupons. Like every other beauty blogger I really need to get on a no buy and start using up things. Me, probably WAY less then others, but none the less compared to the average girl I need to, desperately. ^^;

Covergirl - Lip Perfection lipstick in Enthrall Charme: ($3.99) It's actually a lot more bright red then it appears in the tube. It's my first lipstick from this line so I can't vouch for the others, but the texture and color payoff are amazing with this one in particular.

Essence of Beauty - Dual Smokey Eye Shadow Brush : ($1.75) This has been great from my lazy days, but I gotta say my ELF eyeshadow still beats it by a long shot.

Almay - Line Soothing Concealer in Light/Medium : ($2.62) Saving it till I use up at one of my concealers.

Revlon - 24 Hour Colorstay Whipped Foundation in Warm Golden : ($13.99) Super hard to match yourself since all the foundations look alike from the outside. Usually I would be somewhere along the line of Warm Golden, but it turned out too light on me. So I'm going to whip it out again during winter when I'm hopefully lighter. Other then the skin color being off I really do like this, not as much as the original Colorstay foundation though ^^;

Covergirl - Single in Forever Fig : ($1.85) I've yet to try it, but I've swatched it and to be honest, I'm not impressed.

Revlon - Matte Single in Peach Sorbet : ($1.25) Yet another great matte highlight.

Revlon - Satin Single in Polished Bronze : ($1.25) Fits right into my taupe-y eyeshadow family.

Confetti - Nail Polish in Tazmanian Devil : ($1.99) Finally got this to try and take a crack at doing a Deborah Lippmann Candy Shop dupe attempt.

Sally Hansen - HD in Resolution and Hue : ($1.82 each) They look pretty average on their own, but they absolutely shine under a black base.

NOTM: ChG Tempest plus Konad Dupe

Eh... I haven't been posting any reviews at all because I've just really chilled at home the entire summer plus my face has been getting randomly inflamed for no apparent reason soooo I'll probably just be uploading hauls and NOTWs(Nails of the Moment) the rest of it till school starts and I start getting into wearing makeup again. ^^;

 Yep, my nails are nubbies at the moment. They were in horrible condition for half the year because of my Ceramics class so I decided that I need to start fresh. Also, please excuse the chipping (this picture was taken a week into doing my nails) and my really dry finger tips.

What I Used:

~Essie - Fill the Gap, base coat: AMAZING... Definitely the best base coat I've ever used so far. It really does give you a nice even surface to paint your nails. It's also my cheapest one, on sale for $2 at a hair salon in my mall.

~China Glaze - Tempest: Blurple color, or more specifically a purple base with a really strong blue shimmer. Took 3 coats to make it opaque though. :T

~Sally Hansen - Xtreme Wear in White On: Absolutely horrible white nail polish if your trying to coat your nails because its extremely goopy and thick, but great for nail stamping because of that reason.

~Seche Vite - Top Coat: Yes the oh so famous topcoat, but I honestly do believe it deserves the praise that it gets, it's fast drying, shiny and protective. Surprisingly it's not getting thick and goopy like everyone says and I'm about half way finished with it...

~Kand Nail Stamping set: Cheapy Konad dupe~ I don't own any Konad so I can't compare, but I think it would work just as good as the Konad one. Its just that the plastic scraper that comes with this cheapy set sucks, so I use a Razor blade to scrape it off.

NOTM: Rainbows of a Lavendar Sky

I was inspired by cutepolish's (from youtube) rainbow tutorial. So simple and cute, I just had to give it a try myself, but with some twists, of course and since I was itching to test out my new nail art items as well.

Everything used to create these Nails of the Week:

~Sally Hansen - Double Duty Base and Top Coat

~Revlon - Scented nail polish in "Gum Drop"

~L.A. Colors - Art deco in Yellow, Red and Sky Blue

~Sally Hansen - Extreme Wear in "White on"

~Seche Vite - Top coat

~Gem Wheel, which I found at a dollar store.

On a Side Note: 

Exams are Over, and so is school! For now anyway... 

Now I to just lay around and "Vegetate" as my now previous English teacher would have put it. O~O

WOOT~

Oh and Sorry I've been away for a little bit. My friend was borrowing my camera to do her project, which she never ended up using and kept forgetting to hand me it back... *Facepalm*
