Haul: Sally's Beauty, Bath and Body Works, & Forever 21

I've been stalking Sally's Beauty Supply a smidge too much lately huh? ^^;

And after I went to sally's, I decided to go to the my local mall for the first time in AGES *Cough* Winter vacation *Cough*. So many things have changed at my local mall. Its turning really popular and high end-ish now, with the new renovation,Wifi Booths/tables and the new stores coming in. Apparently, JcPenney's getting a Sephora build in. Sear's is getting a cosmetic , but the brands are your everyday drugstore ones like Maybelline, and Loreal. Three Stores closed down so they're getting replaced with a MOVIE THEATER? O_O' This is absolutely mind-boggling for me, considering I've basically been going to this mall since I was 3 years old. I'm pretty happy with these changes. 

 On to the Haul:

Total cost: $7.52 w/o tax

Would-be cost: $35.52 w/o tax

How, might you ask? Its due to sales, Coupons and gift cards. My BBW gift card from my mother, and 5 off receipt discount from becoming a member. 

From Sally's beauty supply:

Femme Couture - Mineral Effects Makeup in "Honey Bisque": $6.99 - I'm Pretty Excited to try this, despite the very small container. Looks promising to me.

Face Secrets - Professional Facial Cleansing Brush: $1.99 or $1.79 with card - I was so happy I got this! I've been hearing about the Clarsonic and Olay cleansing brushes like crazy! I want one so bad, but there both WAY too expensive for me. So I was happy to see this cheap Non-automatic tiny version of them. Although after I've felt it, I think it might be too soft to do anything... But I can't judge a book by it's cover right?

Sally Girl - Shimmer Stripes in "BRB": $.99 or $.94 with card - Dupe Alert of Bobby Brown or Physician's Formula please? Probably not, But I wanted to give it a go anyway. It gives off a pretty peachy coppery color swirled together, but its really weird... When I swatched them they flaked off my finger? O_o

From Bath and Body Works:

Liplicious in "I Love Stillettos" and "Sangria": $8.00 - I swatched these in the store and these were the one ones I've found to Not be shimmery, menthol scented, or too sickly sweet. PLUS they were on a buy 2 get 1 free sale.

C.O. Bigelow - Rose Salve: $5.50 - Another Highly raved about product. Smells strongly just like roses, go figure. I was hoping that it'd be way better for moisturizing my lips then just slathering pure petroleum on them. Plus i was thinking about getting a cuticle oil/butter thing to help after I use my pure acetone polish remover. Like hitting two birds with one stone.

Pocket Bac in "Citus Crush": $1.50 - I really wanted a hand sanitizer from BBW ever since I was 6 y.o. when I saw this girl have them all the time. I've also always passed them every time I walked into that store and I've never bought one, till now. Smells like Limes and Grapefruits. To me honest, I wanted to get the "I Love Boys" since I'm a berry lover, but my brother was there and I didn't feel like being questioned. XD

From Forever 21:

I was there to buy 3 Tank tops, but at the counter I saw...

Mood Struck - Polish in "Purple to Light Pink": $2.80 - I've heard and seen these before and always have been intrigued by the concept and finally got the guts to buy it. I put it on right when I got home and tested it. Its a magenta purple color with a lot of silver shimmers and with heat it turns into a Rosy pink with silver shimmers.

Review: Sally Girl Baked Eyeshadows

The first time I ever walked into Sally Beauty Supply I was completely in Awe of all the Makeup, Nail ,and Hair supplies provided; I was like a kid in a candy store, figuratively and literally because I was 14. Even though 15, my age now isn't much different. ^^; 

Anyways back to what I was saying... I sorta went unprepared for everything so I didn't wanna buy anything too Pricey and it turn out horribly wrong. Then I noticed the cute display of Sally Girl Stuff for a dollar, and I bought these baked little cuties because they should out the most to me. 

AND since I've had these for a pretty long time (some longer then others),I think I can give a pretty good  review.

 

Colors shown: Shadow Rose, Gunmetal Grey , Dark Purple, Dark Aqua, Gold, Bronze, Silver, Pearl White

Now here's a better view of all of them:

 Honestly, Look at these. They're Adorable! :3

Now for the Swatches:

(ALL swatches applied Dry)

Now to the actual Review:

*PROs*

~They are very true to color.
~Pretty bendable.

~No fallout

~Decent pigmentation, People complain about swatches being more pigmented then if you put in on your eyes with a brush but why not just use your fingers? I find that's the best way to apply it dry.
~They all are shimmery ,but NOT overly shimmery. OR actually, Metallic is a better term.

~CHEAP: 99 cents Or 94 cents with a sally's card. 

~Product Amount:  Don't let the small packaging/dome product deceive you, I've had these for awhile, but I haven't made even the slightest dent in ANY of them.

*CONs*

 ~Now for the packaging. Although it is very cute, many people have breaking problems. I've went to a sally's where they were all broken in the display but that was a pretty crappy Sally's. At another that was cleaner, they were completely fine. Mine though have survived a couple of dramatic falls and with should breaking.

Color One By One:

(They are all metallic, as you can tell from the flash picture)

Gunmetal Grey: Its just that, A gunmetal grey. The least metallic. I personally don't really think its that great, since it doesn't exact show up on the eyes extremely well and give that "wow" factor, so I've been neglecting it. (skipable)

Silver:  Its a bit of a darker silver. On the Opaque side.

Gold: Definitely a must have. Although it isn't the most opaque, its a beautiful gold; much like the color of 14 kt. gold, but shimmery. Sadly due to my crappy Camera, and my yellow tan undertone the Gold swatch is a bit washed out, so it is actually more pigmented then what is shown.

Pearl White: The worst. The Least pigmented, most fallout, and chalkiest of the bunch :T (SKIPABLE)

Bronze: My personal 2nd favorite. Absolute gorgeous dark bronze color.

Shadow Rose: It's a pink with a golden sheen. Odd thing is that Mine is a very soft and smooth texture in the pan, different from the others actually, but it probably is just mine. You think this would be the one named "Pink" in the collection but Nope, the pink one look more like a lilac color. 

Dark Aqua: I Agree with its name. Very Bright and "Wow" factorish.

Dark Purple: My Favorite. A Very Bright True Purple.

Overall:

4 Out Of 5 Stars

Buy Again? I would for sure. I mean for a dollar or technically less, they're a total steal, without breaking the bank.
