Amazing Claire's haul $75 dollars worth of jewlery for $10 dollars

 
 
 
If you don't know about the Claires store ten for ten dollars store it's amazing. Claires stuff is pretty spendy for fashion jewelry so whenever I see the sale going on I get it. All of this stuff was a combined total of $75 dollars but with the sale it was only $10 dollars, so each was only a dollar.
 
So ususally in the back of the store they have a rack with all kinds of goodies to choose from ranging from hair accessories to jewelry to even nail polish. I can't emphasize how good of a deal it is. Were else can you go to get such a good deal.

I took a few pictures of acouple that really stood out to me and the first is this coral peace sign originally priced at $9.50. I liked it because it going to look so pretty with any summer outfits.
 
 
 
These shiny bow earrings are so sparkly and glitzy. Just perfect to glam up an outfit. Originally priced at 9.50.
 
 

 
This is quite possibly the prettiest contact lenses I've ever seen. It is so gorgeous I don't even know if I want to use it because I don't want to mess it up. I was thinking of maybe doing a lip balm diy with it. Originally priced $4.50



 
I don't know if your seeing a trend but I grabbed up all their bow things. Bows are just so girly and are fun pieces to wear. The bow bracelet looked so unique to me and originally $6.50.
The pastel pink bow necklace is this really pretty zipper necklace originally $7.50.


I didn't even know Claire's has Gel nails so I'm so excited to try them out. The back says you can get gel like anti chip under 10 minutes no UV lamp needed.
I got the colors Strawberries & Cream,Mint Green,and Dreamsicle.
These originally were selling for $7.50
 
 
I can't wait to try the nail polishes and wear the jewelry and maybe I'll do a review of the nail polishes when I try them out.

Wet n Wild's spring 2014 Limited edition shadows


Wet n wild came out with two new eight shadow palettes and when they were buy one get the other one for 50% I had to get them. They retail for five dollars at any drugstore you happen to go to.
 
The first palette I picked up was flirting at the after party. It's not only pretty pastel purples but it also has the color of the year in it(Radiant Orchid)
This palette includes eight purple colors ranging from deep purple to the lightest lavender color.
If you want to try to do a radiant orchid color eye shadow look definitely pick this palette up. It's a great palette to get when you don't normally wear  purples but want to experiment with them like me. I usually don't gravitate towards purple but for only five dollars I won't feel bad if I don't wear this palette as often.
When I first did a look using these colors I noticed how pigmented they were. So in that aspect I was glad that the shadows weren't just pretty in the package but when applied on the lid they appeared true to color.
Through out the day I would check the eye shadow and it held up so nicely with no creasing. I'm so glad I got this palette because on days were I want to try out the purple shadow trend I have great colors to experiment with.



When I first saw this palette my first thought was "Why is this Limited edition??" It has to be the prettiest neutral palette from them in my opinion. I love that the right side of the palette has 3 gorgeous shimmery colors. I'm so enamored with these shades.
I can create so many looks using this palette. I'm a neutral girl so it's so perfect for me. This palette is a home run from wet n wild.



foiled gold on the top, bottom is when the gold is not foiled
 
The gold shadow in particular has chunkier glitter pieces so what I do is foil the shadow. I do that by wetting my brush with water and dip in in the shadow and when I apply it the shadow turns into a beautiful smooth metallic.

For spring 2014 Revlon has come out with five legacy lipsticks that range from early 1946 to 1999. It just shows how long Revlon has been around that they have such popular shades as far back as 1946.
I picked up two shades from fredmeyers for 5.99 on sale but originally they are 8.99. I hadn't really seen any stands set up with these any where else so I had to jump on them.
I got the colors I know I would actually wear. Jungle peach looked like the perfect peachy nude and snow peach is a bright ripe pink hue.
 
 




Snow peach looks so intense from the tube so I was alittle hesitant on getting it because I usually only wear nude lipsticks. It comes out super opaque on the lips. I used one swipe and with the creamy formula it felt hydrating as well. When I went to wipe it off it left a stain on my lip that stayed for hours.




 
The color doesn't look anything like a typical orange peach color but instead like a bright true pink. I like how the color is different from any other lipsticks I own. I now know people voted for this lipstick that dated back to 1956.
 
 


 
The next one is a nude peach color dated back to 1963.
This reminds me of an everyday color I would wear. It goes great with dramatic or barely there lipstick. I love that it is an opaque color and the least is needed to achieve the perfect nude.

 
The lasting time of the lipstick is great atleast 2 hours of wear. It's creamy formula makes application so enjoyable.



I absolutely love both of these lipsticks and have already gotten alot of use out of them.
