Bargain Alert: Sally Hansen Complete Salon manicure for 0.62 cents!

Happy Sunday dear readers! Here's another bargain for those with a nearby H-E-B store!

I just paid .62 cents plus tax for the color Without a Stitch at my nearby H-E-B store. Here is how to get the deal:

Fortunately those limited edition colors like from the picture above are scanning on clearance for $1.62, I think H-E-B stores are trying to get rid of these stray items, but there isn't a price tag on them....H-E-B currently has a Big Savings coupon (yellow coupon) for $1 off any Sally Hansen nail and tools (expires on 9-20-11), so you end up paying .62 cents plus tax!

Just wanted to share with you all, I know my postings have been sporatic lately, I apologize, as I am extremely busy! :)

Have a blessed Sunday!

Ulta's Clearance rack

*sigh* If Urban Decay knew that the Naked Palette would be a big hit, why didn't they produce double the product!? Sorry just a small rant :)

At Ulta this past weekend I discovered a large clear bin filled with clearance makeup. I decided to look through it sans the Naked Palette :(    .....At least the trip to Ulta didn't go to waste, haha! I did find some nice lip colors and a few Bourgois shimmer eyeshadows, unfortunately most of them were already opened but oh well.

The lip colors I managed to scoop out were unopened and were probably the gems of the whole bunch. I got 2 Sally Hansen colors from the Carmindy line, Soft Orchid and Sunbeam for $2. The Soft Orchid is a creamy shiny color, it's very soft and leaves my lips hydrated throughout the day. Sunbeam has just a pinch of shimmer and is a close to sheer color. The other color in the shiny tube is one by Ulta called Desert Mauve ($1.50) this one I really like for fall and is almost matte, a finish that I drool for!

Last of June Haul

Where has the time went? I swear it was just the beginning of June! The month was very nice for me, went on vacation to the coast, my grandmother and son had a birthday, and both of my boys finished classes....Geeze, the time goes by fast I guess when you are having fun!

So plenty of stuff in June, plenty of polishes and some stuff I bought for backups, plus some things relatively new that I wanted to try out. The nail polishes are all from random places.

Hard Candy Mr. Wrong and Envy were from Walmart, Essie Wicked from the mall (where I also bought a brilliant Dazzleglass dupe lipgloss by Santee in 06), Confetti nail polish, a new kind at CVS, Belle of the Ball and Orly Haute Red also from CVS.

I've heard mixed reviews about Hard Candy's mascaras....You don't know how many times I've visited Walmart to get my hands on 'Ginormous mascara' only to find that it is sold out or out of stock, urh! the annoyance....So I purchased the HC Curl up and Dye mascara in lieu of the Ginormous, which I will be posting a review about shortly. The Falsies Volum' mascara I do like, I'll be reviewing that as well.

The Revlon Creme blush 'Blushing Mauve' and Revlon lipgloss in 'Power Walk Pink' was from Big Lots...

ELF lashes and powder were from the grocery store....

There was an eyeshadow quad Punk Funk in my ELF online shopping cart for quite some time but found it at the grocery store alas...I love how the colors are true on the skin as they look in the quad!

Aside from other ELF quad shadows this one has good pigmentation. These swatches are with underlying UDPP....

Just one of many looks you can create with the quad.... 

Physicians Formula mineral wear is my HG of mineral compact powders and here is why...The formula is for sensitive or breakout prone skin which I don't have, nevertheless, I still like it as it smoothes out the finish of my skin and makes the foundation look airbrushed. Another plus is the SPF factor.

Dollar Tree recently had LA Colors products that were just calling my name. The products come in these little packages called Value Kits that usually contain 2 or more items. I also took home Sally Hansen line smoothing lipgloss in Pink Sapphire and face powder by LA Colors...

About the Value Kits: Everything but the lipglosses are copacetic. The quality of the lipglosses are pretty bad. The formula is way too thick, almost impossible to wear on their own. I'll be tossing these out! On the bright side, the lipliner, lipstick and eyeshadow palette colors are right on.

The Essence XXXL shine lipglosses, a new love of mine, were looking tempting each time I would frequent my grocery store so I took home Bubble Babe and Pick Me Up. I did not bother swatching Pick me up as it is too clear with very little glitters....

From the Dollar store I found some cute creme nail polishes Touch of Taupe and Chocolate Grape, both Maybelline Express Finishes and have a matching lipcolor. The lipcolors are just ok, but not really anything I'd wear, haha!

April and May haul part 1

Hi ladies! Welcome to all new followers!

So, I've been hauling....I'm now used to shopping around during the day with my baby, she is my shopping companion, lol. I'm eager to know if she will like the same things I like when she is a bit older, what do you think?
So, whenever I go out I'm usually I'm on a nail lacquer kick....who would have guessed, lol

Let's start with Cremes first...

I wanted a creme banana color for summer and I think this is it :)

Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

I thought I had this color at home, realized I had Blue me Away! and not Pacific Blue so I picked it up

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

I wanted to try these for so long but couldn't come to terms with the colors they provided since so many of them are dupable, non unique colors, finally I fell in love with Lavender Cloud. Looks like a white with a slight blue tint to it, but at closer look it is lavender. A gorgeous color indeed...

Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud

By now, if anyone is wondering, I chose to take single pictures of everything just because I try fitting everything in on 1 picture and each time it came out blurry....I need a new camera, lol

Next up, a nice teal that I don't own yet, it's about 3 notches darker than China Glaze's For Audrey

Sally Hansen Sea Breeze

I've found the perfect bright pink for summer toes, not too neon and not too dark drabby. It's just right :)

Sally Hansen Speedy Sunburst

Loreal came out with a summer collection, anywho, I picked up this nice color from that collection...

Loreal Ocean Breeze

Got a backup of one of my Holy Grail faves..

Revlon Cherries in the Snow

Last of the cremes is not a creme all the way, it does have very small sparse glitters, but I love the color

Sinful Colors Rise and Shine

A few frosties here and there...

Just a dark blue frost color I found at Big Lots for a steal

Revlon Midnight Affair

So my hunt for a darkened tealish frost comparable to the BleachBlack Dickweed color ended me up with Wet N Wild's Carribean Frost. It's not exactly the same but it's close :) If anyone knows of a better super close dupe of Dickweed please let me know por favor! :)

Another Big Lots find is Revlon Sheer Translucide, I like it because it is a peachy pink base with small golden glitters

Revlon Sheer Snowflake Pink

A cute periwinkle color. I really ought to try out more Icing colors, they have gorgeous colors!

Icing Hot Pants

Picked up another Holy Grail item, my second bottle of Glossy, I looooooove this color :)

Sally Hansen Glossy

A lil' of this and that....

So I found a great top coater and wanted to like it, but instead I love it. Poshe top coat delivers fast drying time and a super glossy finish, it goes on glossy and stays super glossy :)

$4 at Dollar General stores.

One of the things I hate about putting on face powder is that the blush won't stick to my cheeks afterward. My blush is like my finishing touch like lipstick is to most...So I found a great drugstore creme blush, too bad it's LE, when I run out of this I'll have to seek one at MAC or otherwise....

But they have this color and another peachy color, This one is very pretty and long-lasting...

NYC Creme blush Wild Berry

I traded in a MAC blush I had featured in one of my hauls a few weeks ago...I liked this one for a subtle peachy glow so I ended up getting this one...

MAC Style blush

A sweet 'Treasure'...

I saved this polish for last because I wasn't sure how to classify it, Frost? Glitter? Sheer?

It's the new Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure many have been talking about. I love it in all it's flaky fabulousness :)

Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

It can be worn anyway you please but I love the way it looks atop of dark toned polishes...

Hidden Treasure over OPI's Suzi Skis on the Pyrenees:

On another note,

I am super excited because I just learned today that a new MAC store opened up at a nearby mall not even 5 minutes away from my home

 

This is great because before I'd always have to plan out my trips to the MAC store since it was so far away from where I live. Now I can enjoy the convenience of it just down the street from my home....OMG, I almost cried when I saw it, lol

That is all for my haul, let me know if you have any questions! Everyone have a great week!
