After months and months of eyeing the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette I finally caved and bought it! It was my first time ever in an Ulta as well! We don't have those in Canada.  Can't wait to try this new palette out! Yippee. Now I have to try to promise myself not to buy anything for October since I've bought a lot this month.

Nice haul! It's so cute you said, Yippee! haha

 
So today I went to Target, Walgreens, and this new little place near us that is apparently a 60% CVS overstock store (or something like that) that my husband and I went to the first time today. So first, here is a photo:



From Target:
- E.L.F. Waterproof Eyeliner pen (the white tube/stick between the lip stuff and the hair chalk) - $2

- E.L.F. Lip Stain in Berry Blush - $2

- E.L.F. Lip Stain in Nude Nectar - $2

From Walgreens (and at my husband's insistence):
- E.L.F. Villain Palette in Ursula - $9.99

- E.L.F. Villain Palette in Maleficent - $9.99

From the CVS Discount Place (reg. prices are from CVS website unless noted):
- Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to The Bronze (thanks to Essiebutton raving about it ^_~) - $2.99 ($6.99 reg. price)

- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Smitten - $2.49 ($9.29 reg. price)

- Burts Bees Naturally Ageless Intensive Repairing Serum - $3.99 ($24.99 on Walgreens)

- Splat Hair Chalk in Silver Moon - $3.49 ($5.99 reg. price, and yes, it does show up on my black hair, probably even more if I use hair spray like it says)

So I guess I saved over $35 technically. Funny thing is I almost bought Bad to the Bronze at Target before we went to the discount store, and had already been thinking about Smitten. Had I bought those two things alone at full price it would have been more than I spent at the discount place. I am pretty excited about that!

 
I love seeing all these hauls!

I'm really broke right now (just went back to work after a four-month medical leave) but I've been kind of indulging whenever I see a deal I can't pass up, since it's good for my morale. Yesterday and today I splurged on a few things.

Victoria Jackson cream foundation, free with a code from Ipsy.

Purple Is Mine brush set off eBay, primarily purchased for the container and to use up my eBay bucks that were about to expire, haha. No idea what the brushes are like - reviews are mixed, we'll see when they get here.

bh cosmetics Galaxy Chic palette, because holy heck space-themed eyeshadows, how can I say no?

How did you find the discount store? Do they have them nationwide?

This was a really interesting place. It seemed to be family or small business owned. The owner, who was nice, friendly, but not pushy told us they are a CVS outlet. I did notice a few items with "open box returned" written on them and a few of the boxes were kind of rough looking. But I would say 75% of the stuff looked just like a regular store. I have no idea how the store works though. No branding on the store and the sign was some generic name. If I find out more I will share ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh wow, so many fun pretties to play with!  Have you tried any of the lippies from the UD sample pack yet?


Unfortunately not yet, I will as soon as these allergies stop driving me insane.

I also got a stippling brush since my roommate wanted the Perfect Face Brush- she keeps stealing mine!  Also got the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk, a taupe eyeliner in 08 Silky Cashmere, and the Great Lash Wink of Pink.  Anyone tried these limited edition colors yet?  I'm tempted to pick up the whole line but I decided pink would be fun.  Also picked up the Deluxe Shadow Box from Urban Decay the other day- I'm $40 from platinum at ULTA!

Nice haul!

Wow that's a great GWP!
I just calculated the value of all the samples for a blog post I'm doing, and it was $504! 

 
Just got  the Sephora lip and eyeliner favorite  boxes they are such an amazing value. I have got there favorite boxes before and I love them

 
My first Jin Soon polishes, Azurite (sparkling midnight blue) and Epidote (duochrome olive green) from the Tibi collection:



Epidote shifts color and is so complex, really gorgeous!


I'm wearing Azurite this week and have minimal tip wear after 4 days, so the formula seems good.
