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.

NEW wet n wild Spring 2014 Brushes

 I love looking around at the new makeup displays at Kmart they seem to always have the stuff stocked.

 I was not even aware that Wet n Wild had new brushes coming out. I looked them up and apparently they are their addition to the Springs 2014 collection.

They were also having a buy one get the other wet n wild product half off so I got the bronzer brush for 2.99 and the eyeshadow brush for only .50 cents.

 

Of course I had to pick up the flat eyeshadow brush. I could never have enough of flat eyeshadow brushes. Since eyeshadow brushes soak up the product its hard to resuse them. So I'm glad I got this one in my arsenal. The blue brisols of this brush are so darling and cute. The brush hair is natural fibers which don't always give the softnest I prefer in brushes. It's not terrible scracthing but not terrible soft,somewhere in the middle. When I apply it on my eye I don't notice any irritation from it.

I love the brushes sleek black matte design making it look way more expensive than a dollar!

 

 

Next brush was the bronzer blush. Unlike the brisols of the eyeshadow brush these were more coarse. When I tried to put on my bronzer with this it came out blotching and didn't blend out the line it left.

 

If your wanting to try out a brush from the collection I would say pick the eyshadow brush because it's the cheapest and the one you could get the most use out of.

 

 

 

Wet N Wild Carnival in RIO

 

Carnival in Rio is a shimmer powder from Wet n wild. It retails for around six dollars. It's described as a bronzer but I use it as a blush.
It's a baked powder with veining of orange and deep brown colors.
When swirled together it gives a nice burnt orange color.

 

 Since my mac blush had hit pan I was looking through the drugstore to see if I could find a dupe and surprisingly wet n wild shimmer powder worked out to be a dupe.
The First difference I noticed was that the Mac Sunbasque blush is 6 grams and carnival in rio is 11.3 grams.
As you can see you get way more product from the Wet N Wild Powder. Also the mac blush is 21 dollars. So theres also a huge difference in price.

 

When swatched I could not tell a big difference from the applications. Wet n Wilds carnival in Rio is just a tad bit more golden. If you've ever had interest in Mac's Sunbasque give wet n wilds powder a chance first and to see if the color is right for you.

Wet n Wild has really stepped it up in their cosmetics quality I remember I time were I would walk past them in the drugstore but now their the first place I check because of the great low prices and the quality for it exceeds it!

 

 

Ulta Ready for the Party Box

 

I love when companies come out with kits that house deluxe to full size products of high end makeup. Considering that high end makeup can add up really quickly I liked that this whole kit was only nineteen dollars. It was originally thirty dollars but Ulta was having a special price reduction on this.

This pink box kit comes with six beauty products from different varied companies and even some that I've never tried before.

 

 

One of the products I've never tried before was the Lorac behind the scenes eye primer. It's a sample size but since it's a eye primer I didn't have to use that much to cover the lids. It is a transparent primer meaning that it won't effect the color of your eyeshadow colors but just make them more vibrant. I've been using it for a week and I don't have any problems using it.

 

I love trying out eyeshadow and since I've never tried any Napoleon eye shadows before I was elated. This eye shadow pigment retails for nineteen dollars so for that price I got to try out a whole box.

The color is Pink Champagne and from the swatch above it looks like a warm toned Golden pink. I love how neutral the color is because it works so well with so much of my other eye shadows.

It is a pigment but it feels as buttery as a regular eyeshadow with no fall out.

 

One of the reason why I was attracted to this box so much was because of this included bronzer. Its Pur minerals deluxe size bronzer called mineral glow. I was thinking this was going to be a good contour bronzer but its actually an all over glow powder.

When using it as an all over face glow I noticed it dramatically changed my skin tone to multiple shades darker so when using it be careful to apply it sparingly.

The color of the mineral glow is a dark gold color with shimmer so if you don't like shimmer this might not be for you because it does show up shimmery on the skin.

 

 

 When I saw they included a full size lip gloss in the kit I immediately wanted it even more. It is Laura Geller's lip gloss in city lights.

The color is so interesting because the base of the lip gloss is clear but then the glitters are gold and silver. There is also so much glitter in this product that I can feel the grittiness of it when I rub my lips together. I've used it a few times but after that I never reached for it again. I think it is because I usually wear nude lipsticks and want to pair it with another nude gloss.

 Sometimes what happens with clear glosses is I don't like using them because the tip of the applicator gets so dirty from putting it over lipsticks,so I just end up not wearing them.

It retails for sixteen dollars.

Another product in this kit was the tarte lights camera lashes. This was the only product I had already tried out. It's a decent mascara but nothing that I would go out and buy the full size for.

 

The last thing in the box was Butter London's nail lacquer in Rosie lee. It has the prettiest red glitter in it that completely covers all the nail in glitter. It wont give a sparse application of glitter but a thick coat of glitter. The staying power is so great it stayed on my nails without chipping off.

 

 

I'm so pleased this this compilation of beauty products in the box. I got to try $95 dollars worth of stuff for only $19 dollars!

Kim Kardazzle Palette

 When I first got this product I didn't know how well it was going to work. Like Celebrity perfumes some are cheap, but since this was a neutral eyeshadow set I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. Kim has quite changed from her past black smoky eyes and has now gone for the natural gold hues of shadows.

 

This palette has three great metallic shadows that are my favorite in it. Their the three last ones on the bottom right. I wet my brush before applying these because it makes the metallic finish so much brighter. I'm so pleased that they put a coppery orange color in it because it really completes any eyeshadow look I do.

 

The top colors are cool tones matte neutrals. I like the smoky grey one out of the entire row. It's the second to the last on the top row. Who would have guessed that grey would look so great with bronze shadows.

 

 

 

The shadows have great color payoff and from the pictures you can tell I've been using these colors quite a lot. I do not even need to pick colors from other palettes to complete a look. I'm quite amazed at ow well I love these shadows but the blushes and highlighters could use more pigmentation. The peach blush included is so light a frosty that it barely shows up. I also do not use the two highlighters it comes with. One is a peach highlighter and the other is a cream. The eyeshadows are so soft in texture but the blushes lack that texture and you almost have to scrap to get any product.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 I would recommend this palette if you want to find some affordable metallic bronze shadows for spring and summer. It retails for 12.99 at Ulta
