What I've used the most for the month of July

So these are all the items I've been using and will probably continue to pick up the most in August also. I heard about the new Carmex lip conditioner and went and purchased it. It came with a mini size lotion also. It smells citrus-y & I'm hoping this isn't the real size bc it is so small & I will use it up soon! The Rimmel nail polish is a nice light pink and gives a fresh look, I've been using on my toes :) As for the Revlon strawberries and cream I love this color and OMG the smell is so good. The first time using it I didn't notice the scent bc I was smelling from the bottle but you have to wait for it to dry on your nails lol. The Rimmel lipstick in 14 is a nude color and so it the L'oreal in 181. NUDE is alll I wear it just goes good on me. The Milani products I always walk past but the face powder caught my eye. It has cute packaging and the powder has imprints on it. It matches my skin perfectly and is very comparable to the MAC powder. *My photo

Not Your Mother's

It's been a while Luuuxer's! I really wish I could say I love all of these Not Your Mother's products =( The packaging is obviously super cute and the scents are nice. Buuttt I found them to be a bit sticky. The hair spray has a good hold and works better than a few other hair sprays I own. I can't complain about the volumizing powder, just don't put too much! The heat spray was a bit sticky for me and I don't like the idea of sticky hair mixing with a flat iron=damaged hair. Lastly, the frizz control hair cream smells LOVELY, makes your hair soft but as I was rubbing it between my hands it WAS sticky. Don't think I will repurchase the cream or thermal spray! Next I want to try the shampoo and shine spray!

Yes to Cucumbers

I found this set at Target for around $20. I was originally going to buy just the wipes and saw this set and decided to try it out. Unfortunately I am allergic to the moisturizer :( It made my face burn. The eye gel I don't recommend, I woke up and it had residue and was peeling as if I had sunburn. The wipes I like but won't repurchase the eye gel or moisturizer.

What I carry in my school makeupbag

I found this little cheetah print makeup bag at TJ MAXX a while back. I carry essentials with me to school, pencils, pens, highlighters, note tabs, gum, mints, blot powder and sheets, lip balm, mini EOS lotion, eye drops, hair clip and mac concealer. What do you need to have with you?

Bag Haus Urban Expressions bag and wallet

Since I start a summer class in a few days I needed to buy a new bag because my old favorite ones handles were wearing down. So I went to baghaus.com and they were having a 20% off sale on all their bags. I believe it is now 15% off. I found this neutral colored bag and wallet to match. They're both by Urban Expressions. The bag is in Nutmeg and the wallet is in Nude. The bags are also certified Vegan for all of you animal lovers. What I like most about the website is that there are videos that show what the bag looks like and the size of it next to a person who models it so you get a better idea of the size and what it looks like. The purse feels pretty sturdy and comes with a strap to put around body. Let's hope my books don't tear this one up!

Walgreens

I haven't been to the Walgreens near my house in a while and WOW they are stocked up with so many cosmetics. I need to start going there more often! They always have such good deals too. I picked up some Burt's bees facial wipes, a pack of lip balm which was $5 for two and I got the honey which I looooove and a minty one. I also purchased the new Revlon lip stain which I have been searching everywhere for this shade Charm. A Revlon lip butter in creamsicle which I also have never seen in any other store, not even Target, A Maybelline lip stick in Nude Nuances and an Organix Shine Finish Spray in Cherry Blossom.

Bath and Body Works

I'm loving the CO Bigelow products bath and body works carries. They are said to be natural which the ingredients listed are. So first I got the Vitamin Boost Toner which was $12 and is alcohol- free. It has vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in it. I can't wait to try it out and compare it to Mac fixed plus and a couple others I have. Then I got two lip shines, one in Spearmint which smells like double mint gum and the other in bubblemint which smells exactly like bubble gum so yummy. I also got Lemon and Pomegranate lip cream and My Favorite Lip Balm in shea butter which I forgot to include in the photo. All the tubes were $7.50 or buy 2 get 1 free. Lastly was the Lavender Salve in the tin which was $5.50 and the overnight Lip balm. Out of all beauty products, I have the most lippies. What's your favorite cosmetic?

I Pink I Can

So here is the nail polish by sally hansen on my nails. It's funny how many shades of pink nail polishes I own. This pink is definitely a barbie pink. I was expecting it to be sheer and a lighter pink. It dried really fast and the formula is good. The fat brush is also alot of help to cover the nail quick. What is your favorite pink nail polish?

mini haul

Went to Target yesterday originally for a filtered water bottle which they didn't have and ended up getting the sally hansen "I Pink I Can" nail polish and the Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara which I believe is new. How cute is the packaging?! The pink nail polish is so pretty I can't wait to try it.

DEALS!!

Look what I found at Target!!! I couldn't pass up on the Macadamia shampoo and masque. The shampoo was $20 and the masque $40 which usually are the prices for each. There was also tons of deodorant on sale, my boyfriend got 2 packs of regular size deodorant which were three for $3. These all were hiding on the end caps of the aisles. You can find some good deals there. I LOVE TARGET!!
