Drugstore Haul! and no-buy attempt #1

Hello~

Phew it's September already! Kicking off the new month with a drugstore haul.. I need to stop shopping. T.T I bought these from my local drugstores a few days ago.. I got some great deals too. :D I just finished some college stuffs, so I'm feeling somewhat productive. ^_^

Yayy makeup and nail polish.. girly stuffs

L-R: Wet n Wild Listening to Blue Reed, Teal Slowly and See
These were BOGO 50% off, and I was surprised because the pop art collection is pretty much sold out in all the other areas! If only they had the eyeshadow trios as well.. But you know me. I always try to find a way to use all my blues.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in LE I See Blue
This mascara is soo pretty! I saw people wear it and the color was really vibrant! Can't wait to try it out! Still thinking on how I'm going to pull it off though.. ^.^ At least the blue will neutralize yellow-y tired looking eyes..

Revlon Colorstay Concealer in 02 Light
Revlon products were 40% off last week, and I also had a $2 off coupon, so this came down from $9.99 to $3.99ish! :D I've been looking for a liquid concealer to conceal dark spots and acne scars, etc. I heard this has some salicylic acid though, so I won't use it under my eyes. :P I kinda guessed on the shade.. meh hopefully it'll match somewhat.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded
Soo pretty! This would be a great color for an all around base coat for your eyes.. I read a lot of good reviews about color tattoos. It's like a creamy eyeshadow hybrid.. The packaging was really pretty too~ Maybelline cosmetics were BOGO 1/2 off, so I got this and the mascara. Not the most wonderful savings, but hey better than nothing!

Trying to get a better color of the shade..

The packaging is solid; the glass makes it really feel sturdy and expensive haha.. ^-^;;

Milani Shadow Eyez in Brown Deluxe, Winter White and Milani Liquid Eye Pencil in Black
Milani products at CVS last week were buy $10 get $5 back in extra bucks. (which is pretty much 50% off!)

The shadow eyez look really pretty.. They're both sorta shimmer-y or metallic-y? I was thinking of using the brown shade as a natural, everyday shade on the crease part of my lids (if i had any T.T) and the white to brighten the inner corners of my eyes. YouTube has taught me well. \o/

I've read great reviews about these.. I hope they live up to their expectations!

Milani Liquid Eye liner in Black
ohhh I was supposed to buy the liquif'eye eyeliner, but I realized that I accidentally got the liquid eye liner pencil instead.. oh well.. T.T Hopefully both of them are equal in quality! I actually bought a no-sharpen pencil liner in black from another brand, but man it was not pigmented at all! You had to tug on your eyelid and go over it multiple times for some sort of line to show! I hope this one is richer in color..

No-buy!
Oh man I've been spending too much lately.. I will officially go on a no-buy starting now! The no-buy will include anything beauty or nail related. I still don't have a matte brown eyeshadow for natural, photo friendly looks, but I'll have to make do with what I have. :P I think my (relatively) small makeup stash will last me well past next summer. They say you should replace mascara every few months.. I only have one though. and it's been opened. o.o Let's see what happens ohoho. Oh my no-buy will also include any unnecessary foods like snacks and junk foods and stuff. That means no more ice cream. T^T

Edit: I'm actually going to start this no-buy after I buy some things for cosplay.. I forgot that I still have to buy a liquid felt tip eyeliner and some false lashes/eyelash glue..

I'll have a nail post soon.. I've been kinda busy and too tired to paint my nails lately. -.- #brutalhonesty

'Til next time!
