L’Oreal HIP Jelly Balm

L to R: Delectable, Ripe, Delectable, Plush, Succulent

Stopped by Walgreen’s yesterday and picked up the L’Oreal HIP Jelly Balm. They were on sale for $2.49 a piece (regularly $9). L’Oreal items were also buy one, get one half off so I got all of mine for under $10.

So far I’m liking them a lot. The colors are sheer but still noticeable. It’s moisturizing and the staying power is pretty decent. I had to reapply after 2-3 hours so it’s not so bad. One down side to this lip balm is that it’s sticky which is pretty understandable since it’s a jelly balm but because it doesn’t have a doe foot applicator your finger gets very sticky. One thing I do like about it is the smell. I know sounds a little weird but the scent of these lip balms are almost vanilla-ly-ish?

One thing to note is that these lip balms are very pricey if not on sale. Although, I do recommend that everyone try these out I don’t think it’s worth paying the full price. If you would like to give these a try then purchase them when they’re on sale or something.

As an added bonus I also picked up these nail polishes when I grabbed the lip balms. Sinful Color was picked up at Walgreens, Hidden Treasure at K-Mart, and Shooting Star at Target.

L to R: Sinful Colors All About You, Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, Sally Hansen Shooting Star

Shopping Madness

Everyone that knows me knows that I love to shop. Then again, doesn’t every girl? Here are all the items that I bought within 2-3 days. I’ll probably do a post like this every now and then or whenever I feel like it.

Ulta Haul

Single Eyeshadow in Sage, Knit, Stardust, & Key West – $14
All Ulta brand items were buy 2, get 2 free. I bought two eye shadows and got the other two for free. The eye shadows were $7 a piece.

Sebastian Shaper Plus Hair Spray – $6.99
Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Sugar Scrub – $6.99
The Sebastian Shaper and Shaper Plus hairsprays were on sale for $6.99 from the original $15.95. For the body scrub it was more of an impulse buy. I was looking around their bath items and found it. I thought it was cheap and the portion was pretty generous so I bought it. Another reason is that my scrub is almost out too.

MAC Haul – To The Beach Limited Collection

Sweet & Punchy – $14.50
This color is beautiful – just simply beautiful.

Float On By – $14.50
I’m kind of mad about the broken tip on this one. The cap was on there very tight so when I pulled it off forcefully it scraped against the cap and broke.

For Love Haul (The accessories store of Forever 21)

Floral Ring – $3.80

96 Eyeshadow Palette Giveaway [CLOSED]

I recently received this eye shadow palette as a gift from one my supplier (I sell accessories and stuff from time to time). I already have a 120 eye shadow palette so there really isn’t any use for me to have this one as well. The eye shadows are the size of a dime and really pigmented. The palette is comparable to those you see on Coastal Scents or BH Cosmetics.
