Lippies Part Two - Lip Gloss

My Lippies Collection Part Two - Lip Gloss

This is the second part of my lippies collection - lip glosses! This isn't all of them, but it is the majority. I don't actually use lip gloss very often, so I don't have as many lip glosses as I have balms or lipsticks.

First up are two lip glosses I found at Dollar Tree. I haven't tried them yet but they do smell good.

Next I have two Philosophy glosses that I've never used that I'm not sure you can even get anymore. I imagine that they're good but I still have to try them.

After that I have two old Revlon glosses I'm pretty sure they don't make anymore. I really like the red one, it's very pigmented.

Next are three Milani glosses I found at Dollar Tree. I can't seem to find them on the Milani website so I'm not sure where else you could find them.

Lastly, I have three random glosses. The one on the left and the one in the middle are from Dollar Tree, and the one on the right was a gift at some point.

Lippies Part One - Lip Balm

My Lippies Collection Part One - Lip Balms

I was looking at all the lippies I own (which is far too many) and decided that I wanted to do a post about them. Then I realized that I have too many for that because I'm ridiculous and I basically hoard makeup, so I'm splitting it into parts. Just a disclaimer - I'm not trying to brag about all the makeup I have or anything like that. I'm posting this simply because I enjoy reading posts like this and thought that maybe other people would too. I'm starting out with lip balm.

These are my Baby Lips Electros and my YuBe lip balm. Both are pretty good, although I prefer the YuBe due to how it's a fair bit more moisturizing. The only possible downside to the YuBe is that it smells really strongly of rosemary. I don't mind it, but I can see how some people might.

Here are my Nivea lip butters. These are my favorites to wear at night because they're thick, so they stay on for a while, and they're also really moisturizing. I haven't had a single crack in my lips or any chapping since I started wearing these overnight! I usually keep the caramel one on my desk to use at night and the raspberry one in my purse for daytime.

Next up, I got these three adorable lip balms from the Dollar Tree. I have yet to try any of them, and I'll admit that I'm a bit wary of the bacon one. but I'll update you on how they work once I try them.

These two are the ones I got from Claire's about a week ago. The fudge brownie one smells like fake chocolate, which I find kinda gross, and the cinnamon roll one has barely any scent. Neither of them have a flavor.

After that we have three ChapIce's I got together in a three-pack from Dollar Tree. They're okay.

Next are three Lip Smackers that I found on sale at WalMart the other day. They don't do much for your lips, but they smell good and look cute.

After that we have two lip balms from ShopMissA and a ChapStick. The ones from ShopMissA are pretty great, very hydrating and moisturizing. The ChapStick smells great and is pretty good for your lips from what I can tell.

Lastly we have a Jelly Belly lip balm, one from Palmer's, and a Carmex. I found all of these at Dollar Tree. I haven't really tried the Jelly Belly one much, but the other two are great. These aren't all of my lip balms, but this was the majority.

Eye Makeup Tutorial

Another Eye Makeup Tutorial!

After all those hauls, I thought it was time for something a bit different, so I did an eye look! It's very dark and fall-appropriate, so I figured that fall was a perfect time to share it! This uses shadows from just the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 palette.

Apply the 11th shade from the left to your crease, blending it out super well. This will make the look more smokey and sultry.

Apply the 12th shade from the left to your entire lid. Blend it into the crease shade to avoid any harsh lines.

Apply the 3rd shade from the left to your inner corner to add some extra sparkle, making sure to blend it into the other shades.

Add winged eyeliner, curl your lashes, and add a few coats of black mascara to complete the look. I chose to do a thick wing to add some more drama, but a thin wing would look nice as well. I think this look would go nicely with a dark red vampy lip.

Another Haul

Another Dollar Tree Haul!

My final haul from my shopping spree is a Dollar Tree haul! I got lots of cool-looking stuff this time around, and I can't wait to try it all out.

First off, I got these White Rain body wash and lotions. I like my foot cream and body wash from the last Dollar Tree haul, so I decided to get some more stuff from White Rain.

Next I picked up yet another lip balm - and it's not the last one! It's a berry blue flavored one from Jelly Belly. It looked fun so I grabbed it.

After that I got some L.A. Colors Color Balms. I got three because I wanted to review them and compare them to Baby Lips.

Next I found some fun-flavored lip balms - chocolate milkshake, bacon, and strawberry cheesecake! I doubt I'll use the bacon one, as I'm vegetarian and don't like bacon, but look at the smiling bacon on it! Too cute to pass up.

Next I got a raspberry creme ChapStick. I don't actually have any ChapStick yet, so I figured this would be a good place to start.

After that I got a Colormates lipstick in Ruby Red. It comes with an invisible lipliner, which I think is an interesting concept. It's a darker red, and I don't have many of those, so I figured it would be worth a try.

Next I spotted this Lip Smackers birthday cake lip gloss. I've heard good things about the cake batter lip balm from ChapStick, so I wanted to try this to see if it was any good.

I got these two Wet' n' Wild eyeshadow brushes because I don't have enough eyeshadow brushes. You can never have enough, really.

Next I purchased a couple pairs of lashes. I've used the Wet' n' Wild ones before and I loved them, so I got some more. I've never tried the Colormates ones, so I wanted to test them out.

After that I got some skincare stuff I've heard good things about. I'm hoping the makeup remover wipes won't break me out because my skin is already being a little odd - I rarely get breakouts, but I've been having more than usual lately. I've heard that the facial brush is great for exfoliating, so I grabbed one to try it out for myself with my normal acne wash.

The thing I'm most excited about is these Essie nail stickers. I've tried some out now and I like them, so I picked up some more that I didn't have yet.

Lastly, I got this nail polish duo. The bottom color is a lot lighter in real life than it is in the picture - it's really more of a pearl color. Both of the colors looked nice so I got it.

Another Mini Haul

Mini Claire's and Michael's Haul

This little haul will include some jewelry, as well as makeup! I love Claire's but I think it can be a bit overpriced so I don't go there very often, but I needed some jewelry for my Halloween costume, and I heard that they have some cute lip balms. I also went to Michael's and managed to find a makeup related item!

First I got this pretty choker set as an option for my Halloween costume, and for everyday wear if I feel like it. I'm not huge on chokers but I do think they're cute sometimes. It cost $9.50 USD.

Next I got this pretty long necklace and matching earring set for $14.50 USD as another option for my Halloween costume.

After that I bought some mustache and tophat earrings. They're regularly $6.50 but I got them for $3.25 USD. I love the mustache trend so I had to get them.

Lastly from Claire's, I got these lip balms for $3.50 USD each. A bit expensive, but I've never seen these flavors before and I was intrigued. I can't wait to try them out!

Finally, from Michael's, I got two packs of face wipes for $1.50 USD each. They say on the back that they're meant for the face, so I'm hoping that they remove makeup too.

Mini Haul

Bath and Bodyworks Mini Haul

I recently went shopping and got a ton of stuff - a bit too much for one haul. So I'm splitting it based on where I got the stuff from, and first up is Bath and Bodyworks! I only got a few things since Bath and Bodyworks is kind of expensive, but I know I'll love everything I got.

First, I got the Suncrisp Apple Harvest shower gel and body lotion. I got them in a little gift set together for $15.00 USD, and although you can purchase them both separately, it's only a few dollars more to get both together in the set than it is to get one of these on their own. They smell just like apples. I'm gonna smell like a candy apple!

Next up I got this Crisp Morning Air hand cream for $5.00 USD. It smells really nice and it claims to be nourishing, which would be great because my hands have been dry lately.

Lastly, I got the Paris Amour golden sugar scrub. It smells lovely and I've used it before, so I know that I'll love it. It was $16.50 USD. This will be my third bottle of it.

Iconic 3 Review

Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette Review

I recently purchased the Iconic 3 palette from Ulta, and I've been really loving it, so I wanted to give it a review. It costs seven dollars USD and you can purchase it off of Ulta.

Here is the palette itself. The shadows are great quality for the price, super smooth and pretty pigmented. There is very little fallout, as well.

Here are all twelve shades and the applicator it comes with. I've used every single shade and I love them all.

Here they are swatched on my arm. All of them went on this pigmented with just one swatch except for the lightest shades, but that's normal. I also have very fair skin, so I imagine they'd show up better on a darker skin color. My favorite is the sixth one up, which is a very nice shimmery golden shade that I use on the lid. I pair it with the seventh shade up in my crease and sometimes I'll use one of the lighter shimmery shades in the inner corner. When you do that and add winged liner, it looks great! This palette is totally worth the money and I would highly recommend it to a friend.
