Haul! Black Friday, Cyber Monday and more
So yeah... here's a haul. I guess I don't physically have everything yet... so idk if this is still a haul... but whatever. I'll have it in a few days. Its a ridiculous amount of stuff... its a haul!
A few things I got before Black Friday I wasn't going to mention... but I might as well...
I got 2 tops from American Eagle. One is orange and has a cute cutout on the back and the other has a nice saying and stars on it... and there is actually a UFO on it too... so I thought that was really cool. I didn't see it till I got home! Love it! I will have Style Saturday's on both of these I'm sure!
And at Macy's I got the Tarte Stroke of Midnight brush set... I'm going to have a first impressions of this coming up December 11th... hopefully you can still find this set then... lol. But overall its a really good value.
I also won a $40 gift card to my local mall... which is awesome... so I spent it right away at Sephora and got the Stila A Whole Lotta Love Set! I will have a look with that soon and a review on that soon as well.
Ulta
So I went to a new Ulta that just opened up by me and it was amazing. Not so much just because it was Ulta... but nothing was picked over, nothing was swatched, they were stocked really well... and it was just really nice... so I got some drugstore goodies there!
I got 2 of the Ulta Amped Lashes Mascaras because it was buy 2 get one free and those are my HG mascaras. I'm just kind of going to stick to this and other cruelty free mascaras because they bother my eyes less. Mostly this... and if I get a sample or anything, I'll use that too.
And I got the Ulta Raincoat waterproof topcoat mascara to make your mascaras waterproof, which is good for me because I get allergies, I use setting sprays... this helps a lot.
And I got another Essence nail polish because these are the best thing that exists. I got the color Play With Me Mint, which is always sold out online and I've never seen it in store.
I also got a couple of perpetually sold out items from Nyx. I repurchased the Golden Bronze Slide on Glide on pencil, which is amazing. I bought this, someone opened it up and swatched it so I took it back and then I couldn't find it again... but I found this and its awesome. Word on the street is that these have the EXACT same formula as the Urban Decay 24/7 pencils. The ingredients are exactly the same... so pick them up!
And I got the lipliner in Peekaboo Neutral, which is also always sold out so it must be pretty great. I should have looked for Rimmel's liners too... those always have sold out and picked over colors... but I was more excited about this one. So yeah.
Black Friday
Ulta
So I wasn't going to order anything from Ulta from Black Friday because they had an It Cosmetics Brush set that I wanted that sold out really early... but then later they put a different one on sale that I actually liked a little bit better... so I ended up getting that one instead. This wasn't a black friday exclusive either, it's the Your Beautiful Basics Travel Set and that comes with a big face brush, what looks like it could be an eyeshadow brush and maybe aa liner brush... not sure.
They also had a sale on the Philosophy shower gels... which I love. So I got the Christmas Cookie Shower Gel.
And I got the Lorac Love, Lust and Lace Shimmer Eye Palette, which is kind of a black friday exclusive... these usually show up at Nordstrom Rack or on Hautelook... and some lorac palettes might be on haute look now and they have free shipping... hmmm... lol.
Sephora
They always do $10 deals where they'll have like a stocking-stuffer type of set. I ordered one from Living Proof because I want to try their shampoos, and these mini sizes will be a good way to try them, plus I usually do my hair at my sink, so I can leave them at my sink.
And I got a Clean fragrance rollerball trio set. I've never smelled any of them before... but the notes sounded like things I would like... and its $10 and I thought why not! I'm bound to like one.
I ordered things from American Eagle too... I'll post Outfit of the day posts on those... so yeah... lol.
Birchbox
I'm not subscribed to Birchbox and I'm not really a subscription box person... but I love Tati aka Glamlifeguru on youtube and when I saw she had her own makeup line... I knew I had to try some things from it.... so
I ordered some of the One N Done Shadows and these are like cream eyeshadows in a pencil form. I got the Rise and Shine set which includes the shades Impress Me, On Point and Day Trip. On Point is a silvery taupe color, Day Trip is a gold and Impress Me is a deeper rose gold.
And because the deal for Birchbox was 25% off a $35 purchase, I got a single shadow pencil in the shade Nite Owl, which is a deep plum. She mentioned that she named this shade for her mother in law, who passed away recently ant I thought that was really sweet. I also thought this plum color would look good with the Rose gold... and I just kind of like plums... so I wanted it! Lol. I'm really excited to try these out and review them here maybe.
These are also kind of Christmas presents... so it may be a long time before I review these. Lol.
Small Business Saturday
Alex and Ani
Idk if this counts as small business saturday or if it was just a black Friday Weekend sale because my
Alex and Ani freestanding store is in a town that has a lot of small businesses... and I'm sure others are as well... But they had 15% off and I had a gift card... I have a lot of gift cards I'm just using now... thats kind of a black friday theme here. Lol.
Anyhoo I got the Crystal Infusion necklace with the iridescent stone on it. I didn't get any charms for the necklace yet because I don't really know what I want... but its pretty and I like it plain anyway. So that was a good deal and seemed like the time to get it. Alex and Ani never really has any sales.
I also got a ring. I've been wanting these for a while now and I thought they were more expensive than they were. I got the compass because I need direction in my life and I've always wanted the compass bracelet, so this is good too!
Sunday
So didn't have much luck in store on sunday.... but I did get the Target Beauty Box early this morning... which I will be doing a review on soon... hopefully with another surprise unboxing... fingers crossed. I saw that there were 3 drugstore makeup items, one slightly expensive for drugstore, and one was the LTD Star Wars Covergirl Collection... so I needed that.
Plus it came with some skincare and hair stuff too... and hair ties. I'll always buy for hair ties... lol.
Cyber Monday
Too Faced
Too Faced has a grab bag every cyber monday. Last year it included a lot of full sizes and a palette... and this year it looks like it does again. So I needed that in my life. I will have a post on the contents in a few weeks... but I'm pretty sure I know what's inside... just by the picture! Lol.
They also had 50% off sale items and so I got the Little Black Book Of Bronzers. This I didn't want for a long time. I was like "no, I don't use bronzer that much. I'll just buy individual bronzers from Too Faced." But then I realized it was actually a better deal to get this palette as the bronzers are $30 each and the palette, at the time was $49. Then I saw this was on sale for half off at Nordstrom Rack... so I decided to hold out... and I can't hold out any longer lol. So that is mine.
Bath and Body Works
This was actually in store... but still from Monday. I was upset that my local mall didn't have any of the holiday shower gels left, but at the fancy mall, they had a ton... so I went there!
I got 2 of the Vanilla Bean Noels and 2 of the Winter Candy Apple. I love these scents, I don't think I've ever had them in shower gel form. At least not in a lonnngggg time... so I wanted them. I love bath and body works shower gels. I also got one of the Be Joyful shower gel and the Cashmere Glow shower gel. I love these scents. To me the Cashmere glow is similar to Wrapped in Comfort, which I just got and now they aren't selling them anymore... so this is close and I love it. Its so good in the shower. Be Joyful I also really liked. Its a really sweet, fun scent but it still feels grown up. I like it.
Ohhh and I also got a nail file because I got a really great coupon at the Staten Island Mall for $15 off of $40, and I was just under $40... so I got that to bump up my total, and it worked! So I got like $60 worth of stuff for $25... can't beat that!
Ulta
I was actually looking for Essence Nail polishes to get for my friends... and I couldn't find any... but on the Essence Display I saw these Metal Glam eyeshadows, and they had testers, which I thought was amazing. I got the colors Coffee To Glow and Coco Chic. These are awesome! They swatch so well and I can't wait to get them on my face. I kind of want to wash my make up off and use these now... lol. I'll have a look and reviews on these soon!
And waiting in the checkout line I found mini sizes of the Pureology hydrate shampoo and conditioner... I've been wanting to buy these since the last time I got my hair done. They mix this with their regular shampoo for my hair. I like the smell of it a lot and I just liked it. Its got a minty scent. Its good!
Sephora
First I saw the $10 deals and I saw one from Origins... which i needed. Lol. This came with the Drink Up Overnight Mask, the Charcoal mask and another rose mask I think in mini sizes. This is awesome. I already know I love 2 of the masks, and I'm happy to try a third. I maybe should have picked up another just cause I like these so much. Lol. I was happy though.
The next thing I got I'm giving as gifts... but whatever, I'll still tell you. Lol. Its the Sephora Color Around the World set. This comes with 4 mini palettes and its $28. I'm going to break it up and give it to my friends. It comes with 4 shadows and a blush or bronzer. I'll give them other goodies too I think, but this is a good stocking stuffer idea.
Ulta Online
I only got one of the Cyber Monday Deals for myself... and that is the Lorac Pro Metal Palette. It was on sale for $18, I wanted this when it was full price but couldn't find it anywhere... and now I'm happy I was able to get it.
I got some gifts for people here too... but I'll keep that a secret for now... lol.
And... I think that is everything for a bit... there's a target 20 or 25 % off all beauty items code tomorrow and a 20 off of $50 sephora coupon or something rumored to be coming up... so this is not the last of my damage... lol.
Byeee!
