Beauty Haul (Walmart/Shoppers)

In the last few months I have become obsessed with YouTube beauty and fashion videos and it has inspired me to try out applying makeup more often. I needed to pick up some products that had gone bad after having them for years. Also I had a bunch of coupons for products I love, so I had to go buy them of course! I have already tried some of the products but the ones I have tried I highly recommend.



Most of the products I bought were from Wal-Mart since they have the best prices on pretty much everything. I only went to Shoppers because I had a coupon for 2 for 1 on Revlon nail polishes and one for if you spent $15 on hair products you got 3,500 optimum points.

Eyes

I have not honestly bought or owned any eye shadow since middle school ( I never really wore makeup in high school) but I saw this pretty pallet's and wanted to try them out. I went for these two specially because they have the guide/directions. Petal Pusher from Wet & Wild just called out me, with it's purple/pink scheme and it has a guide on the back of which colours to combine. Purple is my absolute favourite colour so this will be fun to play with. The NYC pallet was a bit harder to choose but ultimately I choose the one for brown eyes. For those of you who don't I have hazel eyes and the green  and blue selections did not appeal to me. This one has more neutral colours but I have heard that NYC isn't the greatest quality for eye shadows.  The Maybeline master duo eyeliner is something I had seen recommendations from many beauty gurus and I have never tried a liquid eyeliner. The one product I have used the the L'oreal Shocking extensions mascara, recommended my Tiffany from MakeupByTiffanyD. This the best mascara I have tried and yes, I have tried quite a few. The brush is smaller and has shorter bristles but it gives your lashes an even coat and almost no clumps. Way better than any high end mascara, hands down. 

Face



No product placement or sponsor, Covergirl has just been a product I had bought in the past and was the products I needed to replace. The pressed powder is basically the same one I have been using for the past couple years but I did decide to go with a concealer stick instead of a typical one with a brush. I decided to try out their liquid foundation but then realized I don't have any brushes. Not sure if I am brave enough to try appyling with my fingers. Should be interesting...

Nails


Of course I had to buy some nail polish, what kind of question is that? Shopper's sends me coupons based on what the buying history is and one of them was a two for one for Revlon nail polish. I got there and they were also on sale, so all the better. I got Vintage Rose (dark light pink) and Cherry (dark red with purple mixed in) and while they have beautiful colours, I will say even with base and top coat the polish chips easily. Then I got an Essie nail polish in Madison Ave-hue from Wal-mart since it's about four dollars cheaper than Shopper's. It's a mix baby and hot pink with some shimmer in it and I can't wait to try it out!

Grooming

Anyone knows with razors when you need a new it is cheaper just to buy a new one, rather than purchase replacement blades. I prefer Venus razors especially with the moisture strips because they are a softer shave and with five blades you get a really good shave. The next product I highly recommend since I noticed a difference within a day. As I said, had a coupon for shopper's points if you spent $15 on hair care. I didn't really need anything but decided to try out the CHI Keratin Mist. I do heat style my hair a decent amount and along with dying it over the years it has some damage. I sprayed this in my hair as a de-tangler after getting out of the shower and the next morning my hair felt a lot softer and more revived. It is a bit more on the pricey side for a leave-in conditioner type product but worth it.

I can't wait to try out these new products and I will definitely give updates on my impressions of them. If not on the blog then you can check out and follow me on my other social media listed below

Lot's of  love,
