Random mini-haul & new swatches!


Check out my random lil' purchases! The other day I didn't really have anything to do so I went out and bought some things I may or may not have needed, heh.
I've only had Faber Castell pens once a long, long time ago. For some reason I never bought any again but I'm very glad I finally did! I like these a lot more than my Pentel ones, they draw on my cardstock incredibly smooth, hopefully these will last!

For a good amount of time, I've been all about Wet n Wild's gel eyeliner because my friend suggested it (with the aid of a vlogger) as a cheap dupe to Mac's liner. It was alright for the price (around $3) but it dried out super quickly! A while back I bought L'Oreal's gel liner in a midnight blue because it was on sale but the formula is super smooth and doesn't dry out at all... It's about $11 but it comes with sooo much product so it'll definitely be lasting me a while!

I bought a bronzer blush just because I need one, and a new eyelash curler for the same reason.

The bunny slippers were only $3 at Target! They were in the little kids, so if you have small feet like I do, you should totally nab these!

I bought 3 new polishes (swatches under the cut) and swatched the polishes from my last post!

WIWT 3/5 & another nail haul (swatches)

I'm a horrible person and I absolutely cannot resist shopping! I honestly think I have a problem. I went on another nail polish spree, but this time my boyfriend treated me and paid for it himself! :) Possibly the first of many beauty splurges he'll help me satisfy haha.

Today was an easy day. I didn't have work so I slept in until around 11am then I woke up, finally washed/cleaned out my car, and then headed to school!


Read on for my complete WIWT and swatches of my latest nail haul!

Lip purchases!

Ever since school started, I've had a major cut in my hours at work. Most of it was "play money" anyways, so it's not that big of a deal... I mean, I don't pay for school or have any big bills, I just pay for gas, my phone, car insurance, food... that's it. I've adopted the horrible habit of buying things on a whim just because I like them. Anyways, now I need to really watch my spending :( It's horrible, but it's a part of growing up.

I decided to treat myself to a couple of things from Ulta!

I bought EOS lip balm in Lemon Drop! No exaggeration, it smells exactly like Starburst candy! I know a lot of people rant and rave about this lip balm so I decided to give it a shot. I really love the shape of it and it does it's job! I usually only apply it 1 to 2 times a day; one midday before I go out/put lipstick on and one time before bed!
I'm forever on the search for the perfect pink lip. My lips are naturally very mauve/pink so it's difficult for me to find a lipstick that works, though that might be because I like to think I'm on a budget. I've never really had a good experience with Revlon but because I'm actually on a budget now I decided what the heck, let me give it a try. I'm partial to matte lipsticks so I was hoping for the best with this one.
Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed. My experience with Revlon lipsticks/glosses is that they tend to settle in the lines of my lips and this one is no exception. Not to mention, it was very drying! I know of so many girls that can wear their products fine but I guess my lips and their formula just don't get along :(

My hunt for the perfect opaque pink lipstick continues! The last pink lipstick I used was MAC's "Nicki Minaj" pink, which reminded me a lot of Saint Germain. I always paired it with their "Vanity" lip gloss to get that "Barbie pink" lip, but again, I experienced the product settling into the lines of my lips. Maybe it's just my lips? Maybe I need to exfoliate?
I just recently bought Nicki Minaj's new lipstick with MAC for their Viva Glam campaign... I hope I like it!
