My L’Oreal Paris At Discount Haul

Thank you Target!

Total Target haul from last Friday night, but I’m only going to be talking about my L’Oreal stuffs in this post…

ALERT! I did not get that Stereo Rose Mineralized Skinfinish from MAC on the right from Target.  LOL!  I received that in the mail on the same day I did this haul so I was kind of on a happy spree so I threw it into this haul.  To make a long story short, I am happy that MAC honored my online order the day Stereo Rose came out, but I am still teed I had to wait over two weeks to get it.  So I have a backup now…I guess it was meant to be.

NOTE! I’ll talk about the bath stuff (in the pic above) in a future post because I want to do a review on it.  Nail polishes will be in another post as well.

As usual, every time I go to Target I go to the clearance shelves first and this time I got my hands on some L’Oreal products at discount.  It’s been a very long time since Target had some good stuff for discount.  I was happy I was able to pick up a couple of lipsticks, some lipglosses and some HIP duos (yay!!!!).  I was able to get my hands on a Voluminous mascara – my first.  Note:  If none of these items were on clearance I would have never bought them.  I always look at L’Oreal products, but I always tell myself it’s too expensive for drugstore makeup so I never buy them plus you can’t test them out until you get home.  So to avoid the hassle, I just avoid drugstore makeup except for mascaras altogether.

I’m going to start off with my L’Oreal HiP duos and I’m going to tell you all that I LOVE THEM!!!!  All of my duos are gorgeous, pigmented and are easy to work with.  I am so glad I lucked up and got these on sale.  I paid between $3.47-$4.47 for each duo.  I’m not going tell you all (yes I am) how I’ve ditched my MAC eyeshadows for these duos and my 88 palette eyeshaows in the past couple of weeks.  I think I have lost my mind.  I’m sure things will go back to normal once I get my MAC Dare To Wear Collection eyeshadows in the mail in a few days.  Woot!

Swatches on top of NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk!

I picked up some L’Oreal lip products, as mentioned previously, from the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche line.  I got two lipsticks.  The first one is Mulberry #710 and it’s a dark corally red.  Gorgeous!  And the second one is Mica #620 it’s an iridescent, sheer lilac purple color…hard to explain, but it’s gorgeous.  Both lipsticks go on so smooth and are a dream to wear.  Feels great on.

Packaging…

I also picked up some L’Oreal Lipglosses as well from the Infallible line.  Love these glosses A LOT!  I bought two colors and a back up of one of them.  The top two are the same and it’s called Undeniable Mauve #515 and it’s definitely a true mauve color with some red undertones in it.  The bottom one is called Raisin #715 and it’s a purple burgandy brown color with a lot of fine shimmer in it.  Love!  Undeniable Mauve looks hot over Mulberry.  Hot!

Swatches!

Last, but not least, I finally got my hands on (I didn’t want to pay full price for it) on a L’Oreal Full Definition Voluminous Volume Building Mascara in Black Brown.  It was the only color on clearance so I picked it up anyway.  This is something I can wear to work since all of my mascaras are in black.  This is the mascara a lot of people rave about all over the beauty communities, right?  I hope this is the one.  I am not going to open it no time soon because I have other mascaras to finish and unopened ones to test out first.  Sucks!  I hope I like this one…

That’s all folks!

Maybelline Clearance Haul from Target

So, I went through the makeup clearance bin at Target yesterday to look through the last of the products that were left and I ended up picking up all Maybelline products.  I got each item for under 2 bucks each so hey, no worries.

I picked up a Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Cream Foundation w/ SPF 18 in Tan / Dark 1 for $1.98.  I have never read any reviews on this foundation and I know nothing about it, but all I know is that I need more coverage and my Bare Escentuals Foundation is just not doing it for me anymore.  I could go and pick up Bisque, but I don’t feel like spending the money on it so I’ll give this foundation a try and HOPE it won’t break me out as I’m having issues with breaking out this season.

Second, I picked up a Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer with Micro-Minerals in Latte / Dark0-3 for $1.83 and I’m hoping it’s in the right shade.  Again, I never read any reviews on this concealer and I know nothing about it.  I’ll give a try and we’ll see what happens!

Third, I picked up a Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish in Spiced Cider (245), which looks like a peachy taupe color, for $.87.  This color will go good on my toe nails.

Lastly, I picked up two Maybelline Lip Polish in Sweet Blush (200) for $1.24 each.  It looks like a diced, creamy peach (the fruit) when you look inside the packaging.  The gloss is peachy with a nice gold undertone sheen in it with bits of pink swirl in it.  It comes out light and sheeny on my lips, but for me, it will make a good top coat over a lipstick or a tinted lip moisturizer.

Oh and I picked up a bottle of nail polish remover because I spilled my other bottle empty last week.  It was a new bottle too.  Bleh!  Had to include it in my haul because it is a part of beauty.

That’s it!
