October-November Haul

yeah, yeah. Another haul.Why must stress make me want to spend money? Luckily I've got rent and utilities covered for the next couple months....
I did some major damage to my bank account during the 40% makeup section sale at Drugstore.com. A few of these things weren't 40% off but were otherwise on sale/cheaper than Target/Walmart/etc.
  • Jeane Pierre Original Daily Cleansing Towelettes

  • Love & Toast Candied Apple Lip Butter
  • Skinnygirl Lip Scrub

  • Clarins UV Plus Dayscreen sample
  • DERMAdoctor KP Duty serum+moisturizer sample
  • Clean Fresh Laundry perfume sample
  • Sephora Collection Supreme Body Lotion
  • Sephora Head to Toe Hydrator

 I also got my Target beauty bag in the mail!

  • Fekkai Shea shampoo/conditioner samples
  • Pixi Beauty Primer sample
  • Jergens Daily Moisture lotion sample

October 2012 Birchbox

I'm super late on this so sorry! I am a full time student who also works 18 hours a week, so I'm sure you can understand. I got the goop box and I can't say I'm overly impressed:

  • Karuna Hydrating Mask
  • Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentrate
  • Naked Princess lip gloss
  • Lemon Zest (I think...) Luna Bar
  • Lulu Organics hair powder
This was kind of a boring box but I've really like almost every other box, so I'm not cancelling quite yet.
