The 90s Are Back: My First ColourPop Haul

Hello, beauties! ColourPop is all the rage among makeup lovers like myself, but since it's not sold in stores, I've never tried it before. I'm always very hesitant to spend my money online if I don't know whether I'll like the product or not. But a few weeks ago, ColourPop was having a sale that I just couldn't resist, and I'm so excited to talk about my first ColourPop Cosmetics haul!

Impulse Buy Monday: Lil' Scrubbies Facial Cleaning Pad

I have a deep love/hate relationship with Walmart. I love the wide cosmetics selection and exclusive brands like Hard Candy, but I hate the crowds. I will only go to Walmart if I can get there by 9:30 on a weekday morning, hoping to miss the inevitable hordes. Needless to say, I don't go very often, and when I do, I stock up. In my most recent trip, I noticed a hanging display with Lil' Scrubbies for $2.99 and I thought they might do well as a silicone mat type of brush cleaner. For $2.99, I figured might as well try it.

Laura Geller: Yummy or Crummy?

Every year, I eagerly await the release of all the beautiful holiday value sets put out by my favorite cosmetics brands. Makeup is my sport, and the holidays are the World Series and Superbowl rolled up into one. In 2015, some were great (bareMinerals) and some were a rehash of previous sets (Benefit), but one caught my eye to a brand I really hadn't thought about before. Laura Geller is known in the beauty world mostly for the beloved Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Gilded Honey, but I generally didn't take notice of her other products. Her holiday collection, however, stood out to me and I knew I had to try it. So Scrumptious, purchased at Ulta, is a 6 piece collection of full sized products that can be used to create a close to complete face look. Although it's a holiday set, I want to talk about the products themselves, since they are all best sellers of the line.

Massive 2015 Holiday Beauty Haul

Happy New Year everyone!! As you may know, the holidays are the absolute best time of year to buy makeup. Not only are there holiday gift sets galore, which are usually the best bang for your buck, but also companies are releasing new products and putting the old products on clearance. If you play your cards right, you can get so much makeup for very little investment. As I've taken advantage (quite a bit) of the deals this holiday season, I've gathered some of the standouts from my haul to share with you.
