Check your CVS NOWWW!

I might do a quick video sharing this super duper good deal at cvs going on but I thought I would share with my fellow bloggers first.

We all know cosmetics rarely go on sale and usually its a buy one get one 50 percent off but this is a rare sale that happens only a few times a year I found this sale out from nouveaucheap.blogspot.com and you can check out her blog for the full list of sale items.

Anywayssss I went to my cvs and basically the whole wall is marked 75 percent off! So cheap! I picked up a few items and ill probably go back for another peek at the items.

Let me know what you get!

Swatches: Sugar Plum Fairy WNW Holiday Palettes

New obsession alert! Seriously, how did I not know or have any of the Wet N Wild eyeshadows before? I went to a few walgreens after hearing and seeing everyone want their holiday palettes I only found 3 of the 4 but I am SOOO in love! They're easy to blend out and they remind me of MAC eyeshadows where they are very creamy in a powdery sense. I think out of all of them the purple is my favorite because all 6 of the eyeshadows are in the purple theme.

At home waxing!



I needed to get rid of my lip hair one day and I usually bleach the hair but my coworkers told me that waxing is a lot better because you don't even see the hair. I always thought it would grow back thicker and thicker...well to make a long story short, I went to Sally's to get wax and came across Surgi Wax Remover for face. Here's how to do it:

Here is what it comes with:

Put it in the microwave until it gets soft. (Read the instructions for the time for your microwave) Test it out on your skin before applying to the lip area.

Here's what it looks like after the microwave:


Here it is on!


Final conclusion:
I think it is a good process for a beginner and at home waxing. The only thing was it took multiple times to microwave it a total of like a minute extra than it said on the instructions. I was scared to pull it off myself knowing exactly when the pain was to come but it wasn't so bad! It cools to a hard plasticy like texture then you rip it off like a bandaid! Pulled the majority of the hair off my lip but not all because I was too scared! haha I would use this again though!

Swatches: Too Faced Glamour To Go (Fairy Edition)

Just the eyeshadows

Just the blush, lipgloss, and bronzer:


Where to find & How much: $19.50 at Sephora

Review: This palette makes a great holiday gift because it comes with a little of everything you need to complete your face! This also makes a great traveling makeup palette so you don't have to pack so much makeup this is easy to grab and go. I do believe they could have choose the colors a little better because the majority of them are very light or dark, some more neutrals would have been nice but this is a great variety if you don't like too many neutrals! I have a first impressions review & tutorial going up soon on my YouTube account as well.

First impression: OH Makeup Wipes

Ole henriksen makeup wipes! I've actually had these for awhile in my makeup wipe drawer. I usually use either the kirkland brand or the up and up brand by target which ill probably do another post on those but anyways I ran out and I needed to take my makeup off somehow so I decided to open these and use it.

My first impression: the smell is a little too strong for me. It has this orange-y type scent that doesn't stay on your skin after but its still a little strong. They take off your makeup nicely but I don't know if its just the past makeup wipes but they seemed a little dry to the point where it feels weird and feels like I'm using just a tissue paper. And I just don't have that feeling of knowing all my makeup is off. I do, however, like that its all natural line so its better for the skin.

Would I buy them again? No, I don't think so. Ill go through this pack and that's about it.

Price:$ I can't remember right now but its around 15 which is more than I would spend since I use one a day. I got these at sephora.
