Haul

This past Sunday, my family and I went to Jersey Gardens.  I love that mall (they have Philadelphia Great Steak there and I usually get the King Potato).  Sometimes it's hard to find good deals so it's better to go at the end of a season when clothes from that season are on clearance.  Here's what I got:
HOLLISTER 
Flowery ruffle tunic $9.90
Gray lacy tank $6.90
Burgundy lacy racerback $6.90
I am going to return the flowery tunic.  I got it in XS and I am in the XS/S range but this is SOOO tight on me.  And the can someone please donate some lights to that store??!?!  It was so dim there that it was so hard to shop in there.  

GAP
Metallic burnout shirt $8.99
Shoes $11
I love the cut of the shirt.  It has slits on the arms so it looks sleeveless when worn with flaps of fabric hanging on the side.  And the metallic is very subtle, more like a sheen.

AERIE
Magenta pocket tee $11.95
Soooooooooo soft!!!!!

TOMMY HILFIGER
Polka dot scarf $12
Pink cardigan $15 + additional 30% off = $10.50
I love the scarf.  It's so preppy and soft.  And the cardigan is a steal. I found it on the sale rack.

And my Target package came.  I took advantage of the daily deal that Target had on the Pixi Beauty Make Up Collection.  Original price was $30 but I paid $15 plus free shipping. ^____^ I will post a review and swatches later.

And from Sephora, they had 5 free samples with any purchase and I had a free shipping code.
Satsuma Body Butter To Go
$5
OMG!! I am in love with this smell.  Every time I pass by the Body Shop, I always walk a little bit slower or stop so I can smell it.
Tea Tree 4-Piece Facial Skin Care Regime
$29
I just started using it today and so far, pretty good.  Though I have to get use to the smell.


Well, that's all of the damage done...for now bwhahahha

Valentinekisses.com Haul

My package from Valentinekisses.com arrived today.  woohooo!! I'm happy.  The shipping was fast because the company is located in the same coast as I am.  I spent less than $20 for these products.  The Pond's cold cream is from CVS today as well.  
** WARNING: PIC OVERLOAD!!!

(L to R): L'OREAL HIP Cream Shadow Paint - Lofty, Secretive, Steely
Comments: These are so pretty and long wearing ( I had difficulty removing them with soap and water).  I want to experiment using them as bases.

(L to R): L'OREAL Wear Infinite Eyeshadow Single - 325 Golden Olive, L'OREAL HIP Shadow Duo - Foxy
Comments: I don't have a lot of green eyeshadow because it's always hard for me to find one with making me look blahh.  But this one has gold shimmers which I love.  Foxy looks nice in the pan but when swatched, it is mediocre.  Maybe I'll try it over some eyeshadow primer.

RIMMEL Lasting Finish Liquid Foundation - 200 soft beige
Comments: Bad one of the bunch.  The color is off.  I am NC-20 with yellow undertones and this foundation is TOO dark and yellow for me.  But the coverage is great.  And this foundation came opened in the package (emailed customer service).

LUMENE Rejuvenating Neck & Decollete Cream

Jessie's Girl Kohl Eyeliners, WET N WILD H2O Proof Blending Eye Pencil - Amethyst Pearl
Comments: There are some good ones of the bunch.  I like the Wet n Wild eyeliner.  I was hoping for more of a purple color but it's still nice.  Some of the Jesse's eyeliners are glittery and some are not (Grape Expectations and Dark Brown).  Grape Expectations is actually more purpley in real life.  Dark Brown is true in the picture.  I was pretty surprised when I swatched it and it came out to be more of  a coppery color to me.  The glitter eye liners are smooth and decent quality.  I like Diva and Northern Lights the most.  Starlit Pink is too soft so when swatched, it started getting crumbly.  But it's such a nice color.  I don't have one like that in my stash.

RIMMEL Loud Mouth Gloss (stain) - 400 Smooch
WET N WILD Sheer Luster Lip Gloss - Iced Amethyst
Comments: The Rimmel gloss looks a bit scary to be worn in the day but when swatched, I was surprised.  It has a coral burnt peachy color.  And it's sheer too.  It looks very natural and gives an extra oomph to your lips.  I am in love with Iced Amethyst.  When worn, the purple tint and glitters aren't that apparent at all on your lips.  The purple makes your lip color more toned down.  And it has an amazing minty scent with makes your lips tingle and plump.  I'm in loveeee!!!

(L to R): PRESTIGE Lipstick - Garnet, Melba
Comments: I also LOVEEEEE these lipsticks.  The packaging looks simple but not cheap looking.  The colors are very pigmented and goes on smooth.  I love Melba the most.

The aftermath O_O;;

LOVE...

Look at this eyeshadow palette from City Color!  Isn't it gorgeous???
I got it for about $3 at my local Rite Aid.  They have more color combos- blue and green, but I bought the purple one because I love purple eyeshadows.
The palette has these paper towel-like texture that I find unique.  EIGHT eyeshadows for under $5!!! That's an amazing deal!!!

Swatches.  I love every one of the them.
