My First Warehouse Sale....

And Walmart purchases.  So I read in the newspaper that there was a "blowout cosmetics sale" going on at one of the arenas in a nearby sportsplex.  I was intrigued but I wasn't going to go out of my way to make a trip to see what it was all about.  This morning my sister and I were doing a whole bunch of shopping and were going to go to Wal-mart, but never ended up making it there because we ran out of time.  So I had just gotten back from a 3 hour long shopping trip with nothing to show for it.  I wanted something.  I know I am doing Project 10 Pan, but I have set myself different rules, so I wanted to get myself primer.  So I set out for Walmart.  They didn't have the primer I wanted, but I decided to try out something different.  I picked up a few other things there and then left.  On the way back I thought "hmmm, I could go check out that warehouse sale thinger" so I did.  And I ended up getting, combined with the Walmart excursion, 7 cosmetic related items for about $30.  Score!

 At Walmart I bought:
Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer

 It cost about 8 bucks plus taxes.  It goes on orangey coloured which is kinda off putting, but it blends in well.  So far I love this stuff.  I think I might just wear it plain even.  It makes my pores look smaller and the tint to it kinda evens out my skintone just enough.  I think it will be awesome for the summer.  Plus you use such a small amount that I think it will last a long time.  I still want to try other primers, but I may end up coming back to this.


Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara in Very Black

This is the "classic" mascara that I am pretty sure most everyone and their mother has used at least once.  It's cheap, $5.  Honestly, that's the only reason I went for it.  I don't really have a reason to avoid it, other than I hate the packaging.  I've tried it now and it has a smaller brush than I am used to, which is okay.  It doesn't really do anything.  No volume, no length, just blackens and makes the lashes stand out a bit more.  I think it will be great for everyday natural looks.


Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Green With Envy

I saw this at a store when I was out with my sister and I wanted it, but didn't want to wait in line.  So I got it at Wal-mart and was able to pay at the cosmetics section and there was no line.  Woohoo!  I love this brand, it's cheap (2 bucks!) and it lasts pretty well.  I find most nailpolish chips on me no matter what so I like cheaper stuff.  The colour is a non-electric lime green I guess.  Very spring-y, which is why I got it.


At the Warehouse Sale I bought:
Revlon Age Defying Translucent Finishing Powder in Translucent Light

I wanted a compact that has a brush because I hate those little sponges or puffs or whatever.  They had a bunch of foundations and stuff at the sale and I could've probably bought them all it was amazing.  But I felt guilty so I just bought one, and since this had a brush I went for it.  It was only $6 at the sale, and this stuff I think usually goes for at least $15 in stores.


Revlon Pinch Me Gel Blush in Plum Flushed

This was limited edition a while ago, and was retailing here for about $20.  I picked it up for $1.  I was dumb and didn't notice the colours on the side of the bottle so I didn't know what colour I was getting.  But I have been wanting a plum blush for a while, so I guess I lucked out. When I first put it on it looked a little weird, but now that it's settled in it looks totally natural.


Revlon Bare it All Lustrous Lotion in Peachy Tease

This was $2 and that was the main reason for wanting it.  It's just like a tinted shimmer mousse gel kinda thing.  I think I'll use it as a hilighter for my cheekbones and temples.  Maybe even on my collarbones or something.  I have large pores around my nose so I wouldn't use it there.  It's a nice shimmery flesh-tone so I think it will work well as hilight.


Revlon Nail Polish in Racy Raspberry

I just wanted a hot girly pink, so I picked this up for $2.  I haven't tried it out yet so I have no idea how it goes on.  But I can't wait to try.
