Early March 2010 Haul

I'm suddenly feeling very sleeeeeepppyy.......Zzzzzzz.........

Oh snap! Sorry everyone for such long breaks between blogging but I've officially started feeling way burned out due to me hitting my 30 weeks mark and still working full-time. I love to haul though and thought that one sure thing I love to do is show pictures of my haulage, especially for those that love to see it!

This is an early March haul since I'm certainly not done shopping...Actually I did pretty good considering I'm super busy....Me and the family are moving into a new home next week so I've been pretty wrapped up in all that excitement! As soon as I'm settled into the new house I'm taking a long deserved trip up to the outlets for baby shopping.... and makeup shopping perhaps? Anyways lots of catching up to do in my blog, I hope you all stick around to see it! :)



I got a perfume from Avon called Windscape since I can't hardly stand my Viva La Juicy, I've been meaning to shop for some perfume but loved the way this one smelled so I decided to get it. I got that along with a Solutions Maximum moisture cream for the face for PM, remember I blogged about needing a nighttime cream a few posts ago? well I love it so far, very soothing and smells great.

On a recent trip to the mall I decided to pick up a long-time favorite, the Clinique Dramatically Diff mois. lotion and an Essie polish (bright orange) called Bright Tights - I must return this one because I wore it yesterday for the first time and it was a 4 coater, actually it could have used another, yikes :(

The Revlon lippie called Hot Pink Chocolate I found at Big Lots during my lunch break last week, I also found these cute earrings at Steinmart and then decided to get on the highway to go get NARS Orgasm blush, which to me is meh....I may return it, I'm not sure.

The Essie Matte about you and OPI DS Mystery I got from Ulta.

Bargain hunting!

I was looking for a chocolate colored cream nail polish and happened to see these 2 KleanColors at a local dollar store and love them! Mocha and Cappucino, both are smooth and need only 2 coats, wonderful!

And more polishes?

I separated the following polish hauls because I didn't want to over-crowd the first picture, haha!



Claire's nail polish in Marine Blue, a gorgeous teal greenish creme which is very nice in 2 to 3 coats, dries a little suede-ish but looks nice with a shiny clear top coat.

Orly's Liquid Vinyl is a rich true black creme, there were a few colors on sale for $4.99 at Ulta and this was one of them so I decided I had to have it because I never owned a really good black polish. This one is super pigmented and smooth.

Sephora's Just a Fairy Tale is a clear based nail polish with teal, silver and irridescent tiny sparkles, here too they had a few colors on sale for $4.


From Walgreens I got Xtreme wear in Rockstar Pink, Maybelline Pink Shock and Tropez Island Pearl.
The Maybelline was on clearance for $2.14.

I traded in a polish I got from Claires and found this great creme hot pinkish-coral color called Fire. The CQ color is called Halo Pink....actually little story about this: I once had a polish just like this one when I was in high school and I'd been searching for a dupe and this is quite close! very excited about that, it is a hot pink jelly with irridescent frost/flash.

The Essence polish Get the Fever I found at Ulta but I've seen in only 1 more store...I love this line....they had a wide variety of colors, mostly creme! These cute little polishes are only 99 cents, I'll have to indulge and get some more colors!

February 2010 Haul


I've been very nail polish oriented this month, lol...I've managed to keep the makeup buying to a minimum but didn't help me out much with balance because I ended up buying nail polish, haha! There has been a few returns and one regret....I bought a nail polish set from Cherry Culture but was super disappointed so I did not include in this photo...Overall, I'm really happy with my purchases!

The Orly green NP is called Wandering Vine, which is a green creme, extremely pigmented and easy to work with-I love it! I picked up that one at my local grocery store. The other Orly (purple) is called Charged up...a slightly jelly like purple, which is totally opaque in 2 coats, love this one too.

Nina pro nail polish and the red CG is from Sally's. Nina pro one is called Cherri Berri-a jelly-like red with a hint of raspberry but is really good in 2 coats....CG one is called Go Crazy Red which is a true red polish with tiny gold frost....

As I previously mentioned, I bought a few things from Cherry Culture from their 20% off sale the other day and I decided to try out some NYX round lipsticks and got Paris, Thalia, Orange Soda, and Gem...well, I love Paris, Gem and Orange Soda, but not sure what all the hype was about Thalia, which was not a good color, it was severely gray and purple-like, I may just toss it out...

I found a pretty limited edition polish from Maybelline called Pie in the Sky, such a pretty color! I've tried matching it to other colors in the NP world, the only color that comes close is Orly, Cashmere Cardigan, it's not exactly right on but it's quite close...

At Walgreens I got a few more Sinful's: All Mighty, Innocent, See you soon, Let's talk, and Green Ocean.
The 2 Sally Hansen Xtreme wears I got at CVS, Flirt and Blue me away!

The Revlon quads I got at my local grocery store were about $2.40 each, I got them with a 3 or 4 dollar off coupon which I was really excited about...the colors are Copper Spice and Neutral Khakis.

I do love my Beauty Rush lipglosses which I couldn't help but pick up more on a recent trip to the mall....so I got Orange you Glad, Mocktail hour, Red delicious, Bananas, and Taffy go lucky...I must admit that the Pink and Coral looking one remind me so much of the MAC lip gelee glosses that came out with the Lillyland collection.
NYX eyeliner is in Sapphire which I got from a local clothing store....

and last but not least is my Viva Glam haul....Gaga and Cyndi (not pictured) and I also got a backup of Gaga!
