Physicians Formula: Haul & Swatches

Hi my loves! 

I went on a search today for the new Maybelline Color Tattoos (I really want the beige one). I searched every Rite Aid & Walgreens in my area, much to no avail. Boo! Then of course I ended up at Meijer, usually I will find things there I can't find anywhere else. Still no Color Tattoos. I did however notice that Physicians Formula was 40% off. I couldn't pass it up. Their stuff is kinda pricey for drugstore, but Meijer is usually the cheapest I can find. So I pick up the things I wanted, all for under $20!

My Look: Simple???

    Funny story about todays makeup look: The last couple of days I've been into watching Netflix on my computer as I do my makeup. I usually just listen to Pandora, but whatever. Anyway, I'm big into movies from the 50's. I love Marilyn, Jane Russell, Mitzi Gaynor, etc... Today I was watching 'Gentlemen Marry Brunettes', which is a Jane Russell movie. I started off going for a super simple makeup look, but as I'm watching all these beautiful women in the movie, I realized I piled on tons of makeup LOL. I didn't opt for the classic red lip, but my eye look ended up being a tad dramatic for a Sunday afternoon. Ah, that's the fun of makeup though right? Starting off one way, and coming out the end a completely different way ;)

My Look: Neutral Smokey Eye

Hi dolls! I've been using my new Nude'Tude palette for the last 2 days now, and I must say I am IN LOVE. Such a great palette. I love the color selection, and the products themselves are just impeccable. Today I tried my hand at a smokey eye look, so if you want to see what I did, keep reading!

Swatchfest: Wet n Wild MegaLast Lipsticks

Hi my dolls! This post is pretty self explanatory, so I don't have much to say here lol. This is not the entire MegaLast collection, just the shades that I have. I seriously love these lipsticks. My only gripe (as I've stated before) is that they can be a tad drying. They do have good staying power, and are an amazing price. 

What are your favorites from this line?

Haul & Swatches: theBalm

Seriously, a haul 2 days in a row?? Yes, for real yo! I ordered a few things from HauteLook the last time the were featuring theBalm. I have been lusting and lusting after these things for SO long. Of course on HauteLook (if you are not familiar) everything is deeply discounted during flash sales. I bought everything at 50% retail, so I'm pretty pumped about that! There is one other blush I really want, super duper bad, but alas! It was not in the sale. Darn it!

I know there are TONS and TONS of swatches/photos/info blah blah blah about all these products online, so I will keep it short and sweet. If you are looking for these items also, keep checking HauteLook, they seem to have a flash sale on theBalm every 5 weeks or so =)
