So I went shopping and I "accidenly" bought a lot of things, so I am going to review them here. enjoy! I will be posting a video on my youtube channel of all theses items so go subscribe to youtube.com/itsmedanac and look out on Saturday 2/16 for the video.
So, as you can see, I made a stop at Lush. I got sucked into the Lush vortex!! I went in knowing that I wanted the bubble gum lip scrub and some face moisturizer, but the Lush ladies talked me into the lip balm and toner water. Let me start by saying that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Bubble Gum lip scrub ($9.95) and the Honey Trap lip balm ($7.25). With the lip scrub you basically just massage it onto your lips and then lick it off (it's super yummy and sugary). Then you just put on the lip balm and your lips feel soft and amazing! If you are starting out at Lush and want to get something thats less expensive then most of their products and are overwhelmed by it all I'd say that getting any lip scrub from there is a good option. Next I asked about a facial moisturizer because I had been previously using Lush's Charity Pot which is lovely but it is not meant as a facial cleanser it is a hand/ body cream. So the Lush lady recommended the Celestial facial moisturizer ($24.95) and I loved it right away. It is very light and it sinks into the skin very well. She put it on one of my hands and then took the other hand and sprayed the Eau Roma Water which is a toner water (not precisely sure what that means) and then put the Celestial stuff on and that hand felt so much softer than the one with just the moisturizer on it. So of course I had to get the Eau Roma Water ($21.95) it came in two sizes but I just had to be honest with myself and get the larger one.
All of this lovely stuff that you see here is from 2 different Target runs within a week of each other. I'll start with the products that are on my hand. Going from top to bottom we have the ELF liquid eyeliner, Maybelline Master Duo liquid eyeliner, Maybelline Color Whisper in who wore it reder and in lust for blush, and Maybelline color tattoo by eye studio in Bold Gold, Pomegranate Punk and Bad to the Bronze. In the first Target trip i got the elf eyeliner for a dollar and for a dollar it gets the job done, but I have a very unsteady hand and the elf just went on a little too thickly and liquidly for my taste. So the next trip I got the master duo liquid liner and it is just wonderful! It has a ballpoint which makes winging easier and it surprisingly makes my lines very straight. I love the Color Whisper lipsticks but unfortunately the "who wore it reder" is just not my color, it does not look good at all, my fault not Maybelline's. But the Lust for Blush is awesome!! One thing I HIGHLY RECOMMEND is the Color Tattoo by Eye Studio eye shadows. They are wonderful and very well pigmented. What I like about the Color Tattoo is that it looks flawless all day/ night; it does not crease or fall off through the day and the color is just to die for!
The purple nail polish I got was lilacism by Essie, I absolutely love the color it is a very pretty pale purple lilac color; the one thing that I was not to hot about was the chipiness of it. Maybe I just have difficult nails that will not allow for any polishes to be on but I found myself re painting 7-8 nails only 3 or 4 days after applying it. Next is the Maybelline fit me powder foundation, as far as foundation goes it is really nice, it's very thin so you do not need to worry about your face looking very powdery. As you can see I got new razor heads, I got venus gillette embrace razor heads I love these razors/ razor heads they have moisturizing strips and I feel like they get close to the skin and they do not nic me often. Kind of a random item but I got Biotin pills. Biotin is a vitamin that helps support healthy hair and skin and helps support carbohydrate, protein ad fat metabolism (literally read that off the bottle). It's not that I'm unhealthy or anything, just wanted to try these out to see if it would assist in hair growth, it's only been a week so no news to report on so far, but I have noticed stronger nails which is always a plus! Next is 3 Maybelline products (I am not sponsored by them I swear! I just love their products). I got the rocket mascara, concealer and a coal eyeliner pencil. As far as the concealer and eyeliner go nothing too special, just things that I needed. This was my first time trying The Rocket Mascara and at first I was not a huge fan; when I first put it on I found it rather thick and clumpy but then through the day all of a sudden my eye lashes just became beautiful! No more clumps and they weren't as thick. I have no idea why or what happened, I am not questioning it, I am just loving the Rocket! Next is my Herbal Essences heat protectant spray. I very highly recommend this because it smells lovely and it doesn't leave your hair feeling funny! Last Maybelline product of the blog (I promise!) is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind eraser foundation. I'm a huge fan of this; it goes on so nicely and thin and it's just lovely! Also if you want to hear a funny story of when I first got this foundation, check out my Big Beauty Haul on my youtube channel! One random thing I got was Dove deodorant, it just smelled good, I couldn't say no! Last thing I got was an ELF conturing blush and bronzer thingy. It was only $3, so for that price it is just fine, not really high end but I'm ok with that.
And now for my Clothing Haul part! I'm not really going to be posting prices because I'm lazy and don't feel like looking up recites, but if you're really heartbroken over it just ask me in the comments and I'll let you know!
First I will talk about my items from Wet Seal. What I got from Wet Seal are those cute white sandals, the cross earring, the bow ring, the baby blue headband, the four shirts in the middle and the denim shirt on the top right. The Four shirts were buy any 4 tee shirts for $20. I'm a huge fan of plain tee shirts and accessorizing them with sweatshirts, shoes and jewelry. The denim shirt is really cute because, although you can't see it, the whole back is white lace! In the spring time that will go very nicely with the sandals!
The other two headbands in the bottom left are ones I got from Claire's. The top one is like a Boho type pattern and the bottom one is a leopard pattern.
The sweatshirt in the middle of the right column is a sweatshirt I got at H&M, I love this so much! I just really like the color! It's like a maroon-y fuchsia-y color and it's just lovely
And the last thing I got were the disco pants/ shiny leggins from Garage. They are the folded black blob on the bottom right. I really wanted disco pants and they sell them at American Apparel for $85 or they have them at Nordstoms Top Shop section for $36. I went into Nordstroms willing to pay $36 for these pants but as it turns out Top Shop is only online or in select stores. I was not going to buy them online because I wanted to try them on and the nearest Top Shop in Nordstroms is in a mall over an hour away. So I went into Garage thinking I'll give it a try. Not only do they look exactly like all other disco pants, but they were only $18.95! (or something very similar to that). So it was a win situation for both my legs and my bank account! I absolutely love these leggins but I do find that I constantly must pull them up, not that they are falling all the way down, but they are just slippery! It helps though if you tuck in a shirt or a tank top under a shirt into the leggins because it slows them from falling down.
