*Great Deal* Scored on a Great deal!

So not sure if this was a mess up or not but I scored it. :)


So online Walmart had the Disney Infinity Starter set for PS3 for....wait for it....$12.96! Oh man I sooooooo got this offer. It was pick up only and we picked it! Paid $14.03 all together. Not sure if it was a mistake. I would think it was. It was back up to $75 about 2 hours later.

Just wanted to share.

*The Halloween 50% off Sale on Elf*

       I wasn't going to order from this sale BUT last minute...and I mean last minute, I ordered within minutes of the sale ending. So I mean I really love ELF products.I want to try each and every thing on the site to see if it works for me or not. So why not order it all, better yet ordering it when it's on sale! So here we go!!!!

My box after opening. It came Fed Ex not USPS as usual. It weighed 3lbs I think. 

#1 - Nail Polish! I fell in love with these colors on the website! So I was really hoping they would be much better whenever they came in. Guess what! They were much much better in person. This first one Chic Confetti reminds me of Christmas lights! So When I had painted my nails with the green polish from Zoya that I got in my IPSY bag, I painted this over the top and it looked very much like Christmas. So I KNOW now what my nails will look like on Christmas! The second polish, Enchanted, reminds me alot of snow and snowflakes. Perfect for January! I haven't tried that one yet but I bet it looks awesome over any color. The funny part about these is that I did not know they were part of the sale! They only showed the box sets on the page and I needed a couple of more dollars to make the $35 free shipping limit so I went and found these. When I put the code in it tool 50% off these too! I'm not complaining. 


#2 - Primers
This is the Brightening Lavender primer. Do not be put off by the bright color it clears out once you spread it out. I had all the other ones so I decided, why not and I bought them.














This one is the Tone Adjusting Green. Once again do not be put off by the bright green it clears out when you blend it in. Atleast on my skin it does.                                                                                  













#3 - Eye pencils/sticks 

First up is the Eyeliner and Shadow Stick in Basic and Brown. I have a couple more of these and they are perfect to throw in your purse. You have the shadow and liner all in one piece and they match very well together. Next is the shimmer eyeliner pencil in Plum Passion. I love bright colors. So this was a perfect fit. Cannot wait to use it. I love how it has the sharpener in the cap. Makes it easier on us!


Below are 2 more eye pencils In Twinkle Teal and Grassy Green! So excited for both. I did not have any green eyeliners so I thought these would make a perfect fit. The teal is more blue BUT it is perfect! 




 #4- Blush

Ok I admit it! I was never into blush. The colors terrified me! I thought the color they were would be bright on the skin and I would look like a clown. So untrue!!! I already owned Passion Pink. These two were the only ones available (NOW they have Rich Rose BOO) I am so excited to thy these. I love the Passion Pink One that I already own, it looks awesome on my skin. So these have to be just as good! Plus they look awesome!  The top one is Peachy Cheeky! The bottom one is Pinktastic. Oh I can't wait! 



 #5 - Foundations/Concealers

I have the problem with the fact that I cannot find a foundation or concealer that I am happy with that does match my skin tone. So what did I do, I bought all of the ones they offer. The Porcelain matches me more than the Ivory but I will make them work. 
First up Maximum Coverage Concealer - Oil Free in Porcelain
 Next is HD Mattifying Cream Foundation in Porcelain

 This is Acne Fighting Foundation in Ivory
 This is the Flawless Finish Foundation Spf 15 in Porcelain
                     
#6 - Eyeshadows. 

I have heard such good things about this Long Lasting Lustrous Eye shadow. Its spongy in the container. It's in the shade Celebration! cannot wait to use it. 

And this is the Geometric 150 piece set. It says limited edition so I do not know how long they will keep it but they've had it for a few months now. I love all the colors! I think I am going to start wearing eyeshadow every day so I can use it all. :) 



And that is the end to this haul! Thanks for tuning in!!!!
Please sub and comment let me know what you would like to see. :)

* Big Lots Haul*

      Also on my list of many many things I like to do, is shopping at discount stores. Examples: Big Lots, Fred's, Dollar General, Dollar Tree...those are pretty much the ones we have locally. I really like finding things I like at a discounted price. Very few times am I disappointed in what I buy. Here is what I bought on my recent Big Lots Trip. I will show the non-ELF stuff first.


Let me be serious when I say I LOVE THIS BRUSH!!! Oh my am I *figuratively* in love with this blush brush. Just WOW! and at $4 that's like $10 cheaper than at Walgreens. 

They also had this all over shadow brush as well and I picked it up. This Maybelline Eyeshadow has it's flaws. It is not a bright as I thought it would be but I do use it. I love the marble shadows coming out now. It was $2 I believe. 

Now for the ELF products. :) I did not know they sold ELF but now I do. I had never been to the beauty section of Big Lots until this day I shopped. :) Im addicted. 


The Acne fighting liquid has a roller ball on the end. I'm not too sure about that. Wouldn't that spread bacteria?  Maybe I am wrong. 



Perfect Pink

Fanatic

Pageant Princess and Love it. 








The one to the right is Bedazzled.






I did not swatch all the colors, but I tried to get the brighter ones. :) I love all these colors. 


I do not really have anything to say that the pictures do not explain. So I hope you enjoyed looking at my recent shopping haul. Thanks! Comment below on what you like and dislike about my blog. Make requests and I will do my best to fulfill them !

*FALL WARDROBE UPDATE*

      You all will learn that I love thrift shopping. It is one of my many many hobbies. I recently did a closet clean out where I pulled out all of the clothing I did not wear. I sorted them into piles labeled, Donate and Keep but put away. The latter category is clothing that I find I just can not get rid of. Like Highschool Senior shirts, shirts that I made, shirts that just have an awesome saying on the front etc. I do not want to wear them but I do not have room in our closet to keep them. We just have one of those shallow inset closets. Not a walk in. So we have 2 bars in it, the top is mine and the bottom is his. So yeah we have about 5 foot each maybe 6 ft. We still had clothes from High School....we are in our 30s!!!! So yeah major clean out. Getting back to topic on hand. I had never bought clothing from thrift stores before, aside for some for my monkey, for us. I was surprised at some of the prices, high and low. I had my mind set on a price per article of clothing. Pants/Jeans $10, Shirts $10, Jackets $20, Shoes $10. I know that seems like a lot and I will probably lower those prices later. I do not factor in brand name. I do not care the brand name. If I like it them I like it. No one will be looking at my tag to see what it says nor would I care if they did. If it doesn't have a tag then the brand name shouldn't matter. It's used. So here we go. These came from 2 different stores - Goodwill and my favorite local thrift store Just Like New.

Goodwill:

 Here are some long sleeves that I picked up. The 2 on the left are thermal. Pink and Blue. Both from Magellan Sportswear. $4.99 each. The Gray one is Investments II it was $7, The mauve one is from Sonoma it was $3

These two sweaters were actually picked up at two different Goodwills. The brand is No boundaries and they were $5.29 They are sooooo soft. I found the pink one first and fell in love with the feel so when I found the blue one at another goodwill I snatched it up. 

     If ya'll notice the sizes they are on the large side. I wear a L/XL depending on the make of the shirt, sometimes I can wear a M. But when I buy fall/winter wear I buy 2-4 sizes bigger because I layer alot. Plus I am 6 ft. So I sometimes have to get bigger sizes to make them long enough. If they are misfitted in any way but the length is great I will just pin and sew them where I need them. :) Carrying on.

The print on this threw me off for a bit but I noticed that back and I had to have it. Brand is FANG. It was $4

This shirt is actually Blue. Like a great awesome blue color. Not the green that it is showing up on here. This was JUST under my budget. That collar won me over. I paid $9.99 this is the only piece that had an original price tag. It's by Westbound Woman...see that 3X  it fits like a XL on me. I hate that sizing is so different between brands. 

CARDIGANS! I love them. If I could have one in every color I would. The Blue one is Investments II it was $5 the Orange one is Hampshire Studios it was $7 and the green one is Coldwater Creek it was $7. The blue and green are really really light, great for Fall. The Burnt Orange one is very heavy. 

This one is from White Stag. It was soooo soft. I had to have it. I paid $2.99

I have never heard of hardly any of these brands. 

This one is from Croft & Barrows. It has like a medium weight if that makes since. It's not to heavy or light. It was $1.99

Isn't this jacket AMAZING!!! It is very bright and very busy but pair it with a solid shirt and you are good to go. I fell in love with it when I saw it. LIKE IN LOVE. It fits perfect. It is from Coldwater Creek. I paid $7.00!!!!!!!

Another example of size differences. This Cato Brand Orange shirt is an XL but it fits like a 3X on me. Oh how I love it though. I can put a cami under it and still have plenty of room. It was $4

Another wonderful lightweight cardigan. It's from Old Navy. I paid $1.99


See I loved this in the store. When I got it home I realized that someone had altered it to fit closer in the waist. So the Size on it (XL) was not true to size. So before I can wear this I have to un-alter this shirt. I don't know but if it were me I would not resale an altered shirt without noting on the tag that it was altered. The person selling it to them probably didn't tell them they altered it. I mean you can look in it and tell it was altered.  It was $5.99

These two shirts were just quirky to me. Something I thought I needed in my wardrobe. The red one is from Notations and it was $4.99 the Orange/peachy one is from Ruby Rd. and it was $3.99

These last two were just some cute fall like shirts I bought for when I do stuff with my monkey's school. 
The pink one is from Erica it was $4.99, the Blue one is from Croft & Barrows it was $4.99


Thanks for checking out my new wardrobe additions! Please come back soon! I plan on adding a ton more stuff! Just trying to get it all organized and ready to be posted!!!!!


THANKS!!!!
