I AM BACK! Finally, right? haha So I have several posts for today to catch you all up on what has kept me so busy! haha I hope you all enjoy all the new posts and at least find something you really enjoy!
Also, I currently have had 628 views on my beauty blog. First off, I have to say WOW and Thank You! I never thought I'd be hitting a number that big. lol I seriously thought just friends would be viewing this blog and it has just blown up to where I'm getting at least 25 views a day.. So what way to give back to my viewers? A give away of course! When I reach 1,500 views I will be doing a give away for 3 lucky viewers! =) This will be out of my own money just to thank you all for everything! I will also be doing a give away on my facebook page that I am currently working on updating!
Once I reach the 1,500 views, I will post a blog post on here of how to qualify, what the gifts for each of the 3 winners, and when to look for a facebook page give away as well! This will be for all USA viewers, I won't be able to ship outside of the states.. I'm sorry in advance for that! I want to put together really great give away prizes so I won't be able to ship outside the USA! =(
Anyways, enough about that exciting news.. Now to the good stuff! The haul of course! haha
So I went to the mall the other day and saw so many stores were doing their cleaning out old stock type sales including Victoria's Secret!
Now I love some of their fragrances so I found a lot of their PINK fragrances on sale. I believe they were 50% off!!
You all know how I love my makeup as well so I decided to pick up some of their makeup they had 5-% off as well!
Pretty right? haha
Now the third large perfume in the back, I actually bought from Bath and Body Works for 50% off because they wanted full price at Victoria's Secret. haha Way to beat the system and find deals!
Anyways, so the four fragrances in the back in order:
PINK with a Splash -- Fruity & Bright
ALOHA PINK -- Tropical & Juicy
PINK with a Splash -- Warm & Cozy (my favorite that I bought from Bath & Body Works)
ALOHA PINK --Vibrant & Beachy
The two small perfumes are:
(Left) ALOHA PINK -- Wild & Breezy
(Right) ALOHA PINK -- Lovely & True
The two boxes in front of the perfumes are lipsticks. I'll show swatches coming up. :)
The purple tube is a purple mascara in the color called Violight.
Then the eyeshadows.. The four eyeshadows and the quad I also have swatches coming up..
My opinions --
So the perfumes are all amazing, obviously since I smelled them there and bought them! haha I personally was disappointed that they were charging full price for Warm & Cozy (my favorite fragrance of all time lol) and I had to go to Bath & Body Works to get it on sale! I went right to Bath & Body Works after this store to get that fragrance since I already knew it was on sale before I got to the mall!
I have to admit, I'm completely blown away by the cosmetics at Victoria's Secret! The lipsticks are so creamy and they don't take much to have full color and last a long time! Plus, can you beat 50% off! lol Talk about great savings for great products!
So now for swatches!
(Left) Lipstick in Instinct (Middle) Beauty Rush Soothing Lip Balm in Clear Shine (Right) Lipstick in Heated
My opinions on the lipsticks -- These are amazing! I especially love the creamy neutral color in Instinct. It is such a soft color but great color payoff. They are extremely creamy, I seriously can't get over the formula of these! Feels like a lipstick and gloss in one! On the color Heated, it's a pretty color on light skin! Super pigmented and just as creamy! This color stays like crazy! haha I love it! There is a swatch in the middle but it really is just a clear balm. haha I love it though because it has a minty smell and tingle too it when you apply it too your lips! Definitely a great product although just like most glosses, it can get sticky over a long period of time.
For this swatch, you can click on the picture to make it bigger since it is really small for the blog..
The top four swatches are Beauty Rush wet/dry shadows. Left swatch is dry, right is wet.
I know they green and purple got switched around in the top of the image, lol Sorry about that.
The colors are as follows:
Glamerald (green shade)
Violet Femme (purple shade)
Gold Rush (gold shade)
Flower Girl (pink shade)
Okay these are okay and I don't think I would buy again. I am not a huge fan of them dry, they go on kind of flakey because of the sparkles in them. None of these are matte, they are all frosty with glitter in them. I do on the other hand like these wet. They go on well, are great colors so if you wear yours mainly wet, these are a good pick for you! I personally do not like how big the glitter is in it that I didn't notice in the store. That's about the only downfall to these unless you like glitter! lol
The bottom swatches are of the quad I got called Uninhibited. Now if you are a sucker for packaging like I am, lol these are adorable! The lipsticks and this quad all have the zebra print in the packaging! So cute and I'm really impressed with this quad! The top line is dry, the bottom is wet!
I definitely recommend if you don't like paying full price for their stuff, check out this sale! I think its every store having it now! I do not know how long this sale is but check it out! =)
I want to know your opinions as well! I want to know what you'd like to see more of or less of on this blog! Do you want haul posts, nail tutorials, more swatches? What would you like to see? I'd love to hear your opinions!
Thank you again to everyone who has followed me, viewed this blog, shared it with friends, you are all amazing! Remember to always stay smiling! =)
XoXoXo,
