My Walgreens, Odd Lots & Sally’s Beauty Haul!

This past weekend I was not supposed to haul anything because I am supposed to be saving up for spending money to throw away on our upcoming Disney World trip, but you know…ish happens.  Anyway, we ended up at Odd Lots and I picked up a few things…

At Odd Lots, I checked out the beauty aisle and saw packs of 30 makeup remover wipes by “Epielle” (never heard of them before) for $1.00 each so I picked up four packs.  I should have picked up more because the wipes are VERY GOOD!  I am impressed and happy!  They are not as big as MAC wipes and are smaller than the Kirkland brand wipes from Costco, but I like these wipes better than the Kirkland ones.  These wipes are soft and the Kirkland ones are a bit scratchy – they remove makeup just as good as the MAC wipes and most importantly they are cheap!  I will be going back to buy more of these wipes this coming weekend for sure because it’s a great deal!

I also picked up a heated eye lash curler by “Trim” just because it was cheap and I wanted to try out a heated eye lash curler.  I paid $2.50 for it so if it sucks I won’t be mad because it’s, well, cheap – no sweat.  I have yet to open the package and try it out.  I will do a review on it very soon.

I had to go to the Pharmacy over at Walgreens so I took a stroll through the makeup aisle, like I always do, and found that they had a BOGO on Maybelline and I love Maybelline mascaras so I picked up two.  I paid full price for one and got 50% off of second one.  I wanted to try out the limited addition Collosal Express Volum Diamond mascara so I was drawn to that product right away (which only got OK review) and since I could get the other one half off I decided on Lash Stiletto Voluptuous which I had read good reviews about.  I probably will not be reviewing these products for a while because I have other mascaras to finish…  Price:  I don’t remember and I lost my receipt – SORRY!

And lastly, I picked up my favorite pencils to use to fill in my brows and they are the cheap Wet n Wild brow / eye liner pencil in dark brown.  I go through them fast and I’m constantly sharpening, but I love them anyway.  Price:  $.99 each

All of my other mascaras I need to finish up or work with…

My first time at Sally’s was as success.  I hauled nail polishes there only because those were the only products I was interested in in the entire store.  Oh, I did pick up those rice paper blotting sheets (30 sheets for $3.49 – not bad) and I really like them.  Not bad.  I paid the $5.00 and became a Sally’s member.  I forget what the official name for it is.  I will be going back to Sally’s since there is one in my area now – so close to my house.

Anyway, I’ll show you in pictures as to what I hauled.  I paid $4.99 each for the China Glaze polishes, I can’t remember what I paid for the Orly polish and mini base/top coat that came with it and I paid around $4.00 for the Seche Vite base coat (seals like nobody’s business) and around $6.00 for the Seche Vite fast drying top coat (dries hella fast and I have to work to get it off even with a polish remover with acetone).  I must say that I have a lot of top and base coats from OPI, Sally Hansen, cheapy ones, etc. and honestly, the Seche products are winners! I will not be using another brand of base or top coats ever againg.  The Seche Vite hype around the web and beyond is right on and I am so glad!  My nail polishes lasts long, doesn’t chip or dent and dries hella fast.  Lovin’ it!

A Beauty Supply Haul

I love beauty supply stores so when I saw one while walking around with my hubby and daughter at Columbus Farmers Market yesterday I had to go in.  It is a wholesale store call J&M so everything in there was priced cheap.  My total order came to $20. so that was good.

J&M had  lots and lots of CoverGirl, Maybelline, Victoria Secret, Jordana,  L’Oreal, Avon, The Body Shop, Physician’s Formula and Revlon makeup (there were more brands, but I can’t think of any more right now). They also had lots of makeup brushes and other tools.  They had nail polishes of a brand I never heard of and I cannot remember the name.

Earlier in the day I had watched GregoryGorgeous’ new Youtube video re: Skincare and he mentioned St. Ives (but he switched over to Cetaphil) but I grabbed a couple of products anyway because my breakouts are still going on since I switched over from Neutrogena to Clean & Clear.  So yeah, I grabbed St. Ives Elements Olive Scrub (which I tried out already and it left my skin so soft and feeling clean $2.99) and St. Ives Swiss Formula Firming Mask (that I also tried out today and it left my skin amazingly soft – $2.99).

I also grabbed a bottle of Johnson’s Extra Conditioning Baby Shampoo for my brushes ($1.99), a random bottle of top coat for my nails because I needed one ($1.00),  L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Liquid Liner in Carbon Black ($1.99), Secret Deodorant ($2.00) and two Maybelline Unstoppable liners in Espresso and in Onyx.  Hubby picked up some Colgate toothbruhes and something else…I can’t remember.  Here is my beauty supply haul pic.
