Haul: Sally's Beauty, Target and Ross

Life Update:
Geez, I need to stop getting so busy. School has been pretty brutal this year; managed to get the worst grades I've ever had in my entire life. *Bangs head against table* Good News though, I got into a early admission program. So I'll technically be a college freshmen nest year. Hopefully the college schedule will allow me to get some rest since my sleep schedule has been out of whack since I started high school. I'm talking, sleeping 3-4 hours at night, waking up at 4/5 and then passing out on my bed after I get home. Not good. ^^;

Note: I've decided to list all the sales and clearance prices I got things for at the bottom of posts from now on, so check that out if your interested.

To the Haul~

Sally's Beauty Supply:

Ion Silk Drops - $7.99($6.99 w/card)~ I believe this has the same concept as Biosilk drops or Chi silk infusion. Recently my hair has been acted horrible and frizzy so I've been wanting to get a de-frizz moisture product and apparently you can use this on your skin which is interesting. It's smells amazing too.

China Glaze in Harvest Moon and Fast Track - $5.99($4.99 w/ card)~ Completely pysched about this collection and  movie coming out soon. Harvest Moon in a golden bronze foil.So beautiful. Fast Track is a grey nude taupe color with packed small gold flecks. I'm still a bit on the fence with this color.

Palladio Shadow liner in Eclipse, Raspberry and Icicle - $5.99($5.39 w/ card)~ I've been also on a base colors/Jumbo pencil kick lately too and heard these were quite nice and good on their own.

Target:

 Boots Original Beauty Formula Cleansing Milk Geranium- $7.99~ My eyes have been getting so red/puffy/irritated from cleansers/makeup removers lately, and when I found this, the word "milk" had me hoping that is was a very gentle makeup remover for some reason. I used it right when I got home and so far so good, removed and didn't burn. :D

Sonia Kashuk luxury lip color in Truffle - $8.99~ Seems like a nice brown nude, just what I've been needing. Love the white sleek squared tube it's in.

Ross: 

Sorry for the washed out picture.

Roxy Lieutenant purse - Original: $44. Store: $16.99~ I needed a compact less "Loud" purse to carry around casually. It's a over the shoulder satchel-type purse and the sides are about 2 inched wide.

Sale/Clearance Breakdown:
Sally's Beauty Supply
Ion Silk Drops - Free from renewing my card in February
Palladio Shadow Liner - Buy 2 get one free on Palladio products

Free~ Target Beauty Samples 8D

My Samples finally arrived in mail a week ago, so sorry that I'm posting a whee bit late. Even though you CAN'T take advantage of the free beauty bag anymore because they ran out pretty fast awhile ago anyway. ^^; Well, funny-ish thing happened when I got it, or should I say my mother did. I arrived home from school to see it busted open and sprawled out on the coffee table, probably my my mom to check if nothing "weird" was in there.

Anyways, here are the things I received:

Apparently according to other peoples posts, I'm pretty sure everyone has received the same items.

Sonia Kashuk Makeup Bag: To be completely honest the thing I was most Excited about was this bag; mainly because I've been wanting to get on for awhile, it looks cute plus its Free.

Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm: 2nd Favorite thing~ I'm actually pleasantly surprise on how natural it does looks on lips and moisturizing. By natural, I been there isn't really a glossy-ness to your lips after you apply it. Doesn't hurt that its Organic too. It also smells faintly of mint.

Relvon Colorburst Lip Gloss in "Hot Pink": I've yet to try this but looking forward to it.

Fekkai Shampoo and Conditioner: Happy to try a new shampoo and conditioner. Looks Promising?

Pantene Color Preserve Shine Shampoo: Meh. My least favorite sample. I know beggars can't be choosers, but after hearing how damaging Pantene is, I'm Not really thinking about ever testing it out, even though a sample probably wouldn't hurt much.

Nivea Express Hydration Lotion: Smells Pretty pleasant to me, its also a light but nicely moisturizing.

Target Beauty Coupon Book: <3 Definitely looking forward to take advantage of these.

Well let's all hope Target does one of these again. :)

Oh, and THANKS to NouveauCheap for Blogging about it and getting the word out. 8D

Haul: Target Clearance!

There's been a Target Clearance Sale going one for a couple weeks. There weren't an extreme amount of clearances like CVS, but I recently went and there were still quite a few items there. It seems like the only foundations on Clearance were the darkest ones; so if you have a deep complexion, go check your local Target. If your a Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner fan, packs of 2 are going on Clearance for (if I remember correctly) $6.23! Even some of the Pixi, Jemma Kid, Neapolitan Perdis brands, Sonia Kashuk, are on sale.

 My Mini Haul (purchased about 1-2 weeks ago):

 Total Cost: $4.83 w/o tax

Would-be Cost: $19.42 w/o tax

1) Maybelline - Expert Wear Single in "Emerald": $2.94, But on sale for $0.73! I had to get it! SOOO Cheap, so I thought meh what's so bad about getting it. I mean seriously, 73 CENTS. Its a very misleading name, its actually a sky blue. Like the packaging suggests, its shimmery but I definitely wouldn't say is that shimmery at all.

2) Sonia Kashuk - Retractable Foundation Brush: $11.99, But on sale for $2.98. You saw right, flipping $2.98!!! I had to get it. Its not big enough in my opinion to be a foundation brush, but as a Concealer brush. <3 then again retractables are usually smaller for a reason right? XD

3)Maybelline - Expert wear Blush in "Romantic Plum": $4.49 but on sale for 1.12. >___< Fail. Fail. FAIL. No one get it!!! No color payoff at all, pressed to hard, and if you get a bit of product off its Chalky. I was hesitant about getting it in the first place because it was so light and I'm probably and NC 35-40 for reference, but I thought, why not, just a dollar and I could try to work with it? WRONG. to be honest I doubt it'd even show up on the fairest of fair skin.
