Haul time : the sequel. (Swatches included)

Hey there ladies! Earlier this week I posted the first part of my haul. I knew after weeks of a no-buy due to the holidays that I wasn't quit done. Now that I've spent more money than I should this week I can show you the second half of my haul! It includes the rest of the Maybelline Color Tattoo shadows, more Dream Bouncy blushes, some of the new Wet N Wild LE stuff, and ............... lip butters. Are you sick of hearing about these things yet? Me too. But I'm going to show you anyway!

More after the jump!

Haul time! Makeup, nailpolish and hair care! (swatches included!)

Hello beautiful ladies! Hope everyone is staying warm! Before Christmas I was pretty much on a no buy so I could afford to do Christmas gifts for everyone, so after Christmas I bought a bunch of stuff! I bought the Ticket to Glossytown set from Sephora that my last post was about, which I love. LOVELOVELOVE.

My post today is about my latest Wal-Mart/Target haul. All things I've collected over the past 2 weeks! I have several eyeshadows, blushes, a nailpolish, a new hair boosting spray and a straightener!

More details after the jump!

E.L.F. Holiday Mini-haul (swatches included)

I was wandering around my local Target recently and I walked past an end-cap that had the E.L.F. Holiday collection pieces! I was immediately attracted by the super sparkly packaging.

They have a lot of options in their holiday collection, but I actually already own a lot of what they have out, it just didn't come in sparkly packaging. I picked up the nailpolish set and the glitter eye collection. I may go back to pick up one or two things, but I'm not really sure yet.


Let's move on to swatches!

E.L.F. Haul and Swatches (pic heavy)

Welcome back, you lovely ladies!



About 2 weeks ago I got an urge to (surprise surprise) buy some new makeup. I first went to Ulta. I got a few things but I wasn't really in the mood to spend a small fortune. A few days later I was at Target and saw the E.L.F. section. I always forget about this company, and I'm not sure why. Their products are decent quality and are unbeatable when it comes to price. You'll only find a few items that cost more than $3, most products only cost $1. Anyway. While I was looking at Target I picked up a few things. I purchased 2 cream eyeliners from their studio line, an all over color stick, a studio line blush, an angled eyeliner brush and a concealer brush. 7 items. Less than $15. Like i said, unbeatable.

I played with those purchases for a couple of days and decided I needed to have more E.L.F. products in my life. I went on over to their website and started shopping. I purchased 8 shimmering facial whips, 3 glossy gloss, 1 nailpolish in Mint 3 tinted SPF 15 moisturizers, and their makeup clutch. The clutch I got for $2 for a special promotion they're having. All-in-all, 16 items. With shipping it came out to be around $30. I was pleased. I haven't had enough time to play with all of the items to do a review on them, so today I'm just posting swatches and maybe some initial thoughts on the products. ENJOY!

Cream Eyeliners - Black and Plum Purple
I *love* these. They glide on super easy. The purple is gorgeous for fall!

All Over Color Stick - Golden Peach

Glossy Gloss - Dragonfruit, Tangy Tangerine, Sweet Salmon
I personally prefer lip swatches for lipsticks/glosses/stains, but I'm finally getting over being sick and my lips are all chapped so I wasn't comfortable doing lip swatches.

Complete Coverage Concealer - light
no swatches as it would blend directly into my skin.

Blush - Fuscia Fusion
I tried this on, but it looked really dark on my pale skin. I think I might have just been too heavy handed with it though.

Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 - Ivory, Light beige, Apricot Beige
I got 3 shades because my skin tone is...different. I have to usually mix different shades of face products to get my shade.

Shimmering Facial Whips - Top row - Citrus, Lilac Petal, Camila, Persimmon Bottom row - Spotlight, Toasted, Golden Peach and Pink Lemonade
I was only able to swatch 5 of the 8 whips I purchased. 3 of them were not...whipped? They came out of their little tubes like water. No matter how much I tried to mix them up, it never thickened. Disappointing, but they were only $1 each, so it's not a big deal.

Swatch order - Golden Peach, Citrus, Pink lemonade,Camila, Persimmon

I didn't take any pictures of the clutch. There are *alot* of things that would have to be swatched. I'll work on that for later, maybe.

Also, I left the nailpolish in my desk at work, so no swatches of that at the moment either. I'll do a small post on those items next week!
