Haul! Ulta and Walmart

Since it's been so long since I've (posted) hauled, I thought I'd show y'all some pretty new items I picked up.

Is it just me, or do the oddest people frequent Walmart? Obviously much of their clientele is perfectly ¨normal,¨ but I always see... hm... peculiar outfits and, uh, other things.

*coughs*

Anywho.

Look at the pretties. I love Pure Ice (2$ at Walmart). These are in:

And a quick, horrible swatch of the beautiful blue. Like, ugh. Look at the amazing dustiness.

My nails are so short right now! #thestruggle

I can't even begin to explain how flipping excited I am for this. I've wanted it for nigh on a year now, but Ulta has NEVER HAD IT IN STOCK, until I randomly noticed one hanging out in the bottom of the display. First impressions are awesome. Essence All About Matt! Fixing Compact Powder, 4$ at Ulta.

Oh look, more pretty sparkly things. Surprising. No, I am a proud magpie. Here sits the beauty of Hard Candy Glitter Topper  and the NYC Gold Topper . So sparkly.

And then, a product entirely new to me, the Jane Cream Eyeshadow. It's really easy to apply and doesn't crease, but it's also depressingly and ridiculously sheer. Sad day. It does, however, give a nice metallic finish to things already colourful.

I can't believe I've never owned the Maybelline Master Precise Liner, given that it's probably the most popular drugstore eyeliner out there. At first swatch it's delightfully black with easy control, hopefully this is a continuing trend!

Since I love my Almay Color + Care Liquid Balm so much in pink, when I saw two Almay coupons and a sale at Ulta I rushed to pick up the nude. Grand total? Free. Yay for bargains! It's a perfect, everyday glossy nude tone.

(Not really) last, and (certainly not) least, the NYC Jumbo Pencil in. That's right kids, now absolutely every brand has one of these. This one is sure nice swatched, creamy and pigmented, but I haven't had a chance to try it on my lips yet. We'll see!

Ok, so I also bought another Jane product, an eyeliner in a teal colour, but I seem to have already lost it. Awh. At any rate, I do like those eyeliners. I have one in chartreuse and I wear it far more frequently than one should wear chartreuse eyeliners.

What have you picked up recently? Any of these interesting enough for a review?

Kisses,

This Week I'm Loving...

Like the header? My posts are too many words and not enough graphics, so I'm attempting to remedy that :)

I've been feeling goth this week, so my picks are a bit darker than usual. Without further ado, my weekly favourites are...

Fight Like A Girl- Emilie Autumn. My best friend has officially converted me into a Plague Rat. I absolutely love this song, and the rest of the album is excellent, too. A bit macabre, though, no denying.

Another excellent song would have to be Adieu by Coeur de Pirate. I adore her ethereal voice and the bubbly sound of her records. Even those who don't speak French would have to like it.

I *embarrassed cough* didn't read any books this week. *Hangs head in shame*

My favourite beauty product right now would have to be the Revlon Lip Gloss in Orchid. It's a pretty sheer lilac gloss. Fun fact: purple toned lip products minimize redness on the face.

To my dog lovers: Aren't they better than cats? My friend and I have been arguing about that. He says dogs should be exterminated.  >:(


Love,

Elizabeth Rose
