CVS Semi-Annual Haul and Lots of Swatches

Here's my CVS Haul! I got many Rimmel Lipsticks, 2 Loreal HIP Duos, Maybelline Mineral Bronzer, 2 Revlon Lippies, and 2 Revlon eyeshadows! Some of the things I got were repeats so b/c I just love it. I'll share the swatches. I would say I spent around exactly $30 on all this stuff (I had 3 hauls but it combined to this). Since I noticed all CVS have the same products being put 75% of I wanted to help and show the swatches of these products.

Milani Nailpolish Jewel FX Swatches and More

Hey all. Happy New Year! I just wanted to share these beautiful Milani Nailpolishes that I absolutely love! Ever since I heard blogs talk about them in early December I was determined to find them. Unfortunately my local CVS did not even get this collection so I had to do a lot of hunting. I was only able to find 3 from Milani's new Rockstar Heavy Glitter polishes and one from their Haute Value collection. I knew my boyfriend's CVS has a large beauty section and I knew they would have them, so I called him up that day and made him hunt for the rest with his mom and finally have all of them!

From Left to Right: Milani Tailor Made, Gold Glitz, Gems, Gold

Milani Tailor Made - From the Haute Value collection. Its a sheer blue with purple sheen. I applied two coats. It doesn't streak but probably look more opaque under white nail polish. I still love the facts that its sheer because most my nail polishes are opaque.

Milani Gold Glitz - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a typical warm gold glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Gems - From the Jewel FX collection. It has rainbow chunks of glitter. I applied two coats. I had to pat it on but I absolutely love this one!

Milani Gold - From the Jewel FX collection. It has gold hexagon chunks of glitter. I applied two coats. I had to pat it on.

From Left to Right: Milani Silver Dazzle, Purple Gleam, Blue Flash, Red Sparkle

Milani Silver Dazzle - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a charcoal with sliver glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Purple Gleam - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a fuchsia/purple glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Blue Flash - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a turqoise blue glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Milani Red Sparkle - From the One Coat Glitters collection. Its a red glitter. I applied two coats. Very opaque dries very quickly and has a matte yet glittery finish.

Here's a picture of all the polishes.

The reason I went a bit out my way to get these because I thought they were all limited edition. However I found out that all the black caps are not and will be in stores in the Spring! So, I'm glad that it still will be available!

I also bought 2 of their baked eyeshadows that I will review soon.

I hope this was helpful thanks for reading and thanks to all my 300 followers :D

UPDATE! and Maybelline Enchanted Forest Quad Review

Hey guys! I haven't blogged in a while! I had to step out because of school issues. I'm still having finals right now but after next week I'll have super updates on lots and lots of stuff I bought recently! I miss blogging I can't wait to start again! I have soo much more to share. Some of my upcoming posts are listed above! But here's a review I had forgot to put up a while ago!

This is a nice and everyday pallete. The colors are nicely pigmented for daily use and it's pretty good compared to other Maybelline eyeshadows I own! I picked this up from all the good reviews I saw on MakeUpAlley.com

I really like how they label what each shadow is used for although I find myself using the brow bone a lot! (I'm a sucker for highlighter shades :) )


Here's come swatches.
My camera didn't pick up most of the pigmentation on them but they are really nice and natural. As you can see the colors basically blend in with your skin. I will preview an eye look on it possibly soon! Thanks for reading :)

Revlon Matte Mauve It Over and Pink Pout Lipstick Swatches

Hey! This is my second attempt trying Revlon Matte Lipsticks since the first one wasn't too great. But I thought I would give it a try since I heard many good things about these lipsticks and I was curious enough to test them out. was amazed by how good they are!

Revlon Matte Mauve It Over (003) and Pink Pout (002) Lipstick

Revlon Matte Mauve It Over (003)
Dry but creamy light red/brown color that I would not consider Mauve since it looks more red than pink/purple. Color is almost the same color as my lips and I really like that. I feel like it can even be worn alone if your lips are not chapped. It's a great everyday color.




Revlon Matte Pink Pout (002)
Dry but creamy pink with brown/purple undertones. I thought this color would look too chalky on me but I'm amazed how it actually compliments my skin. It's a color that looks nice with some gloss but I love this pink, it really unique. Definitely recommend for olive skintones.

I find these colors both very wearable and definitely recommend these two. These are much WAY better than the first one I tried Nude Attitude (001) which was too drying and looked too chalky on my lips. To wear these you have to make sure your lips are not chappy since it will show up a lot with these too.

I hope this was helpful. More posts coming soon. Bye :)

Mulberry For Target Haul Madness

With all the hype about Mulberry bags (which usually sell for about ~$900) having a collection in Target for prices that range from $15-$50 is completely awesome. I called up all my local Target stores for these bags but they were all sold out! But I was able to find only 2 Target's up in the Bronx, NY which is where I found them! When I spoke to the store employee on the phone he told me there were 8 in the morning and I called back asking how many were left and he said 2-3 of the style I wanted and said that they were going fast! So, later on yesterday(10-15-10) I drove all the way there and a found there was a good handful but not too many. They had plenty of the Large Cerise Leopard Satchel in Pink and the Pebble Large Tote in Black (which is one I got)!

The Mulberry Look

All the Target versions of the bag come with this huge heart charm that I feel should be discarded immediately because it makes the bag look too pre-teenish. But I will show you how they look with it just because that's the way I bought it.



Mulberry for Target Denim Satchel in Blue
This is the one I really wanted because I thought it was super cute and gave the briefcase look. I prefer this one over the larger one because I felt the shorter handles looked better on it. This is definitely a must have. There were only 3 of these left from when I went yesterday night.


Mulberry for Target Pebble Large Tote in Black
I love how this bag looks very mature and has the signature turnlock. It looks very sophisticated and classy. I love how it's big enough to fit my laptop and other needs.


Mulberry for Target Pebble Mini Crossbody in Black
There was only one of these left! It was so cute that I couldn't resist, it is really tiny, smaller than I imagined from the website. But for the price I thought I'd get it because it's cute and I thought I wouldn't have another chance to buy it.

The reason I got these is because I want a Mulberry apart of my collection even though its Mulberry for Target. I like the fact that it has the signature briefcase look. Maybe when I'm older and rich I can afford to save up and buy the real ones but for now I'll be rockin these!

Chanel Nailpolish Dupes from Forever21

Hey guys. This is my version of a look Temptalia did using Chanel Nailpolishes from the Chanel Noir et Or Collection from Spring 2010 (long overdue post).
View Temptalia's swatches here for comparison.


These nailpolishes did not copy Chanel's idea since I purchased them before the collection launched. But the idea of them together is a fantastic combo. The reason I wanted to share this is becuase I know these are two nailpolishes that became instantly sold out.


With Flash


Without flash

In the process, The LA Girls Matte Nailpolish alone.


Together they make a great combo that looks luxurious! Similar to Chanel Black Velvet + Illusion d’Or Nail Lacquers

I hope this was helpful thanks for reading. :)

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks in Crimson and Plum

Hey guys, this is my second review on Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks. These are actually two colors that my mom bought for herself since she wears bold lipstick colors everyday (like birght reds) but I decided to swatch them before I gave them to her. And I must say I really love these two colors, I was so surprised how flattering they were and want to keep them! I thought these were also two perfect reds for the fall.

Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks in Crimson (095) and Plum (010)

Plum (010) - When I first opened this from the tube I was so afraid that this color was a very very dark reddened plum. But when I put it on my lips, it looked a bit more like a maroon/burgundy color that I absolutely love! I love how the finish is a bit glossy so it doesn't make my lips look dry. It was also very long lasting. I will show some pictures I took on my webcam after wearing it for 3-4 hours.





Crimson (095) - I thought I was going to look riduculous with red lips but it actually looked very flattering. This is a medium/deep red similar to MAC Dubonnet, possibly a dupe. It's very creamy and glossy and lasted long too. I definatly recommend this to everyone.
