It's been very tight lately with $$$ (got an overseas trip to the land of pretty cosmetics Japan in October!), but I managed to still spoil myself with a purchase of Bourjois' 1 Seconde gel nail polish in 05 Corail Magique (a pretty peachy coral). So far I'm in love with the brush and no chips after almost 24 hours wear (hopefully I can make a record and make it to 48 hours!).

Great haul for you too! I haven't tried any Wet n Wild products since the early 90s and have been hearing so many good things about their new collections. Do you have any recommendations? I'll have to check out the Sephora Eyeshadow kit. I can never get enough eyeliners!

Lucky you having a husband that cheers you on. Mine just gives me the side eye and asks if I really need another nailpolish or eyeshadow when I already have a million at home.
haha my hubby really is freakishly supportive of my makeup addiction. He even points out when hautelook is having sales! It must be because he spends lots of $$ on his hobbies!

Ahh wet-n-wild, I could blab all day about their eyeshadow palettes. I LOVE them, seriously I have like 6-8 of their trios. You really couldn't go wrong with any of their trios. Some of my favorites in the trios are.. sweet as candy, walking on eggshells & I'm getting sunburned. I also love their color icon bronzer, it's huge SPF 15 and they have several shades. I have ticket to brazil. P.S. Oprah just gave their bronzer an award. I also love their lipstick in the color pinkerbell. They also have really nice nail polishes, I find they to be really opaque and they don't chip easily. 

I should be a wet-n-wild makeup ambassador!! haha I just really think they have high quality makeup for really low low low prices. Also, quick tip my sunday newspaper has $1.00 off coupons and $2.00 off 2 item coupons every 2-3 weeks. I just clipped one today. 

If you get anything from wet-n-wild let me know how you do! :)

The new "Nude Awakening" palette is super pretty too! colors are a dupe for the Naked (1) palette :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
In the last week or so I have gotten:

- 3 NYX Butter Glosses in Creme Brulee, Strawberry Parfait, and Maple Blondie

- Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Red Velvet

- I just ordered the Urban Decay Lip Duo in Venom for $35 from an IpsyMe event

I also recently got a nail polish order from Etsy seller Madison Street Beauty and an eyeshadow/blush order from Etsy seller Star Crushed Minerals.

I think it may time to go on a low buy for a while...

 
I just ordered the Number 4 Prep and Protect Beat the Heat Kit (this leave in makes my hair feel amazing), the Macadamia Hair Mask, and the Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip Balm.

 
Picked up the Anastasia brow wiz in Medium Ash, Vaseline spray and go lotion and NYX butter gloss in Eclair and NYX mega shine lip gloss in Beige!

 
I didn't mean to buy 2 bags this week but a bag that I have been coveting forever dropped to a third of it's original price after I ordered the first one so I had to grab it while I could! Fortunately, they are quite different so each one will see a lot of use.
 

Provocateur from Just Fab



I had a credit from when I forgot to skip one month so I finally put it to use and grabbed this bag for Fall. It's more taupe-y in person and seems to be pretty good quality for a faux leather bag. I dare someone to try to mug me. I'll embed some spikes in their head!

Hayden Harnett Mercer Clutch



I have wanted this bag FOR-EV-ER! Seriously, I've been drooling over it since January. The leather is sooo soft, and so shiny, and...

so iridescent!!

This is Hayden Harnett #6 for me. I love, love, LOVE their bags!

Nude Awakening palette?? I haven't seen this.. have a link?
Here it is on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Wet-Wild-Awakening-Palette-Limited/dp/B00BZY1FTU

I found mine at a Rite Aid store about 2 weeks or so ago. They were limited edition for the spring time, but they just started putting them back out (probably only for a limited time again). There's another spring limited edition palette with a few more colors in it, like green & purple, instead of just neutrals. I believe that one is called Going in the Wild. 

 
Just stopped by a SiJCP today... it's the last day of Aug, and I *needed* my birthday gift!

But they also had a clearance table, and then the nice lady came over and told me the clearance stuff was an additional 25% off... and then I lost my head:



This is valued at $113, was originally sold for $68, now on sale at the website for $34, but in the Sephora store for $29... with 25% off, I paid just over $24 (stupid tax!).  Green is my favorite color, and I just fell in love with all the pretties!  Can't wait to try the green mascara!

And of course, my birthday gift

What a great haul and a nice way to go into your low-buy!  More than enough pretties to play with.

Thank you!  I plan on playing with these all the way through Sept, emerald will be a good transition from Summer to Fall!

Thank you!  I was a bit apprehensive to buy it just based on the "ooh pretty!" factor, but it had really good reviews when I checked it out online!  *whew*!

Awesome haul!

 
To wrap up August, I had a little shopping spree. 

  • essie For the Twill of It (DUOCHROME!)
  • OPI Peace & Love & OPI (MOAR DUOCHROME!) and Alcatraz Rocks (I had to go to about eight different stores before I finally found it at the Nordstrom Rack, of all places)
  • Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in #21 (and since I'm a bit of a regular at that store, I ended up with a ton of samples:  Missha Real Complete BB Cream in #21, not one not two but *five* Skin 79 bb cream, a Skin 79 cleanser, and a Holika Holika brightening sheet mask.  The funny thing is that the girl who rang me up was just going to give me the mask, but then the other girl working there -- who I think might be a supervisor -- jumped in to make sure i got one of every Skin 79 sample they had)
  • Nyx jumbo eye pencils in Milk and Yogurt (buy one get one 50% off at Fred Meyer ending today.  I wanted Cottage Cheese and maybe Strawberry Milkshake as well, but I had problems finding two untested pencils on my list at one store, so I just went with these and called it good)

I'm starting a very regimented low-buy tomorrow, but I needed the bb cream, the Nyx pencils have been on my to-buy list for ages, and I think the essie and OPIs are LEs that will be gone by the time I can get stuff again (and I ended up getting a larger paycheck than expected this pay period due to the way my company deducts for insurance, so I had a little extra wiggle room in my budget that allowed me to go ahead and get everything now.  I didn't spend the whole chunk of extra change on makeup like I usually do, so I feel like I practiced an admirable amount of restraint).

I am incredibly jealous that you can buy these in person. I would kill for a store like Pretty & Cute nearby!
