Target Haul! (elf, maybelline, & more)

elf Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter in fair
elf Custom Eyes eyeshadow singles: Ivory, Moondust, Wheat, Wisteria, Aubergine, & Pink Ice
Clean & Clear moisturizer
Black sheer tights
Maybelline Line Stiletto in Blackest Black

Hey guys! So I went to target and picked up a few things and I figured I would show you! I realized my concealer was getting a bit too dark for me, so first I got this elf under eye concealer and highlighter that I've had my eyes on for a while. Also, I found out that the elf singles fit in mac palettes! I've had my mac palette since June and I only have 3 eyeshadows in it, so I figured why not fill maybe half of it with elf eyeshadows? My first impression of these shadows is that they're super pigmented and buttery and soft. The moisturizer I purchased because I need to pay more attention to my skin. I don't really do much besides wash it, which probably isn't enough, so I picked up a moisturizer. The black sheer tights were a must have for me, because they match just about anything. My obsession with tights is growing... (I bought 6 pairs from Charlotte Russe about two weeks ago). Finally, I got the maybelline line stiletto in blackest black because I have it in black/brown and I wanted black too. I'll be doing some reviews on these products, so keep a look out! Thanks for reading :)

Beauty Haul!

Hey guys! A small haul for you today. I went to CVS because I ran out of makeup remover and my mom was going to be near it, so i picked up their "cleansing & makeup remover towelettes." I've never used their makeup remover wipes, but I used one last night and I really like it! They're really soft and do a nice job. They were $5. Then, of course, I picked up a limited edition color tattoo by maybelline in "Barely Beige" a shimmery neutral some have compared to bare study paint pot by mac. It was about $8. Last, I got another maybelline babylips in Cherry Me. A pretty sheer red color. It was $4.

This eyeshadow look was created using my feminine palette.

I'll be posting regularly for a few days, but I'm going away again sunday, this time for a shorter time though.

Thanks for reading, and thanks to all new followers! <3

Urban Decay Feminine Palette

So on Urban Decay's website, I noticed that these palettes were on sale from $32 to $16,  there were 3 options originally but the Feminine palette was the only one left. Urban Decay is having major sales, you should definitely check out their website. This palette is still on sale. It came with 3 samples: the primer potion, two face primers, and 3 tinted moisturizers. Also they sent a $5 off coupon for the next time I place an order. The palette came in super cute packaging. It came with a mini eyeshadow primer potion in Eden, a matte nude color. 

Inside the palette is one of their 24/7 eyeliners in zero, which is black. Then it came with 6 eyeshadows.

Top: stray dog, swf, midnight cowboy, 

Bottom: aquarius, darkhorse, ecstacy 

I love how it has half neutral colors and half colorful. It's a really small palette so it will be great for travel and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it. This is actually my first purchase from Urban Decay!

So I would go check out their website for some awesome sales!

Small Haul

Today I ran some errands with my mom and I ended up getting a few things! From Old Navy I got brown sandals with some gold detailing  on the sides. They were around $18. Then, at Target, I was looking for BB creams to try, but they had none! But I couldn't resist the new megaplush mascara. A few days ago I tried out my friends mega plush mascara and I really love how it lengthens and separates. It was about $7. Last, I got another elf eyelid primer because I love it and it's only $1. So that was my small haul!

Huge elf Haul!

So elf was having a spend $30, get 10 free mineral eyeshadows deal. The mineral eyeshadows are $3 each, so basically, if you spend $30, you get $30 of eyeshadows for free. So I jumped on it! Since I got a good amount of stuff, I'm not going to do swatches yet, but my next couple of posts will probably be reviews and swatches of the items.

essential lipstick in fearless $1, conditioning lip balm spf 15 in romantic rouge $3, glossy gloss in tangy tangerine $3

all over color stick in spotlight $1, healthy glow bronzing powder in luminance $1

studio single eyeshadow in oatmeal $3, brightening eye color in day 2 night $1, duo eyeshadow cream in butter pecan $1, glitter eyeshadow in beachy chic $2

liquid eyeliner in silver $1, mineral eyeshadows in earthy, golden, wild, sweet, innocent, royal, outdoorsy, dreamy, socialite, caffeinated (not in that order) $3

studio stipple brush $3, essentials fan brush $1, eyeliner brush $1, blending eyebrush $1, smudge eye sponge $1, crease brush $1, brow comb $1

So yeah, I got a LOT of stuff from elf. I do have lots of elf makeup that I love, so I'm hoping these products will be winners also! 

Small Haul!

So I was at RiteAid and I saw that they had Covergirl makeup for buy one get one 50% off, so I decided to get two of their single eyeshadows I've been wanting. The left one is called 'champagne' and the rightt one is called 'tapestry taupe'. I also picked up a petites nail polish in passion orange, which is more of a coral color.  It's not the best quality nail polish, but it's a gorgeous color. It's on my nails in the second picture. Lastly, I saw that RiteAid had their own makeup brushes, and I am always in need of more brushes, so I decided to get one. It's just the single eyeshadow brush and it's actually really soft and works pretty well. I'm impressed with the quality. So that was all I got from Rite Aid! Hope you enjoyed this small haul.

Walmart Haul

I stopped at Walmart and picked up a few things today. Here's what I got!

I got some black lace ribbon because I'm planning on doing some different DIY's and making some cool clothes. It was on sale for $1.50, so I figured I'd find some use for it. I also got two small containers (the pink things) because I'm going to depot some cream eyeshadow sticks. It cost 97 cents for both of them.

I also got St. Ives Apricot Cleanser because I've heard so many great things about it, and I've been searching for a good cleanser. This was $3.27

I've never gotten foundation before because I never thought I really needed it; I don't have acne or blotchiness really, just some redness on my cheeks (natural blush! hah) but I figured I'd try some and see how I liked it. I got Covergirl's clean foundation for normal skin in the color 'Ivory'. It was only $5.94. To go with my foundation I also got some powder to go over it. This is the covergirl oil control powder in 'Buff Beige' and it was also $5.94.

I was also running out of my Covergirl Natureluxe mascara, so I picked up my all time favorite mascara, the lash blast volume version. This normally comes in the orange tube, but it's a special version for the olympics. It was also $5.94!

From Hard Candy, I got this baked eyeshadow duo in 'High Maintenance"

The colors have the most beautiful shine and glow to them, and great pigmentation. (I swatched them as soon as I left the store!) This was $6.

Lastly I got another Revlon Lip Butter. I already have one in 'Tutti Frutti' that I loved so much I decided to get another color. This one is in 'Strawberry Shortcake' and it's a really pretty barbie-like pink. This was $6.48

So that's all I got from Walmart. Hope you enjoyed this haul!

New York City Haul: Clothes

Also in NYC, I got some clothes (not many).
First at American Eagle they were having their buy one short and get a second for $10, so I went simple and got jean shorts and tan shorts. It was $50 for both of them.

Then, at Forever 21, I got a plain brownish-peachy-pink shirt with a sheer stripe going down the back. It was about 14, and is a great simple shirt that's very versatile.

I tried on so many things at so many different stores, but I hardly liked anything! Everything was too short, too long, too big, too small, and just fit weird. So, my shopping wasn't exactly easy. :P

Then, a few days ago after I got back I got a bikini top from H&M that I figured I'd throw into this haul, since it's only one thing. Its black and tan, and looks like a bandu top, but it has a rope-style halter tie strap with two tassles. It's super cute, but they didn't have the bottoms in my size, so now I'm on the search for a plain black bottom. The top was about $15.

New York City Haul: Jewelry

So last week I went to New York City with my family for a day trip, and I did some shopping. New York City has amazing shopping - but the tax is awful!

First I went to China Town and I got a scarf and a ring. The scarf is pink and lacey, and triangle shaped. The ring has 3 chain links and the middle one has jewels on it. The scarf was about 10 dollars, and the ring was 3.

Next I stopped at a jewelry boutique and got one necklace. It has a jeweled 'J' as a pendant (because my name is Jen) and then two silver tassle-like things hanging below the J. It was about $10 and a cute twist on regular letter necklaces.

From Forever 21 I got some bracelets and a pocket mirror. The mirror is small and just says 'Paris' on it. It was about $3. The bracelets were 2 gold bangles and then a gold clip bracelet with a bow that was bejeweled in peachy-pinky jewels. They were $9.80.

[Picture Here]

So that's all of the jewelry I got from New York City. I didn't get much, because I only got things I really loved due to the crazy tax and how I can get a lot of the stuff closer to home.
