Huge Haul

I went home on Thursday for my cousin's wedding. The bride was beautiful and I am so happy for them!  Besides going to the wedding, I also went shopping with my boyfriend and got my make-up done for the wedding at the MAC counter in Nordstrom (I was a guest book attendant at the wedding). I went a little wild with coupons and whatnot...

•  Dial Hello Kitty bar soap and body wash Finally found these! I've been looking for these for a while. They smell amazing!
• Suave Kids 2-in-1 Shampoo in Surf's Up I needed a non-fruity 2-in-1 for CR and Nic.)
• Pantene Ice Shine shampoo I had a coupon that got me this for free
• Olay Soothing Cucumber massaging body bar and body wash The body bar was included for free and this was on clearance...AND I had a dollar off coupon
• Herbal Essences Split End Protector I am hoping this works the same as the previous products in this kind of bottle.

•  Covergirl Lash Perfection Needed new mascara, this looked good.
• Covergirl Smoothers Tinted Moisturizer I had wanted this for a LONG time. I had two dollar off manufacturer coupons PLUS a two dollar off two Target coupon...so I got $4 off the two CG items.
• Revlon ColorStay Aqua hydrating powder On clearance for $3.58, had a $2 off coupon, so it was $1.58 in the end. WORTH IT. It feels SO good when you put it on your skin.
• Wet N Wild MegaLast polish in On a Trip This was on sale for one dollar at Walgreens :)

 I went to Bath and Body Works to get a few things for my mom and I also stopped by Victoria's Secret because I had a free panty AND a $10 off anything coupon.
From Bath and Body Works:

• Deep Cleansing hand soap in Fresh Picked Watermelons, Fresh Picked Pears and Paris Amour
• PocketBacs in Fresh Picked Pears and Fresh Picked Peaches
• Swirly sleeve for the hand soap (my boyfriend picked this out for our room next year)

From Victoria's Secret: These were on clearance for $7.50 so I got both for $5 after my coupon!!!

• PINK body butter in Pretty Girl
• PINK body butter in Dream On 

I got the mini body spray as a gift from the bride and groom :)

From MAC, I got two eyeshadows in All That Glitters and Mulch. I decided on All That Glitters and the MAC lady suggested Mulch as a crease color when I asked. I also got a Cremesheen lipstick in Creme Cup, which I wore to the wedding. I also got Fix+ because they used it at noon and my foundation was still on after midnight, after a hot day and a lot of crying. And it smells amazing! These are my first MAC products and so far I am impressed.

I also got my Target Beauty Bag in the mail! The products included were:

• Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes (7 wipes)
• Neutrogena Visibly Bright face wash
• Pantene Color Care Volume shampoo
• Nivea Extended Moisture lotion
• L'Oreal Magic Lumi primer (LOVE this stuff!!)

So...all in all...a pretty awesome/reckless weekend!

Vacation Haul

I recently got three whole weeks off from work and went to Washington state on the train and stayed for 2 weeks, then flew to Massachusetts to see my lovely boyfriend for a week. This past week has been the best by far this summer, I missed my boyfriend quite a lot and it was nice to be able to see where he grew up. We did lots of fun stuff, like shop and eat and watch Netflix. We went to the Museum of Science in Boston, as well as the New England Aquarium. I can't wait til it is time to move back to school so I can see him all the time :)

As I mentioned above, we shopped quite a lot. Hence this post. Some of this stuff I got in the two days I was home between the two trips and the day since I've returned, but most of this was from one day of shopping in Natick. 

Wet'n'Wild How I Met Your Magenta, WnW Hannah Pinktana, WnW Blue Wants to Be a Millionaire, WnW Party of Five Glitters, Diamond Dry Top Coat

These names are ridiculous, but I couldn't resist. They were BOGO free at Kmart, so I ended up getting all four for $4. The Diamond Dry was free with the purchase of two China Glazes at Sally's. I got my boyfriend's sisters each a bottle of nail polish in the little goodie bags I put together for them (CG Rich & Famous and CG Spontaneous, if you were curious), so I figured why not get some free top coat. It is actually pretty nice, too. I put it on top of my pedi and it lasted all week and looked great before I took it off earlier today.

Wet'n'Wild Wild Shine black, Wet'n'Wild Sweet as Candy Eye Palette
These were at Big Lots. The polish was only a dollar and the palette was a whopping $3. I lucked out :)

The Body Shop Body Butter in Strawberry, Vanilla Duo, and Wild Cherry
I got the Strawberry and Vanilla at The Body Shop, on sale 2/$25. We then went to Marshall's, where I found the Wild Cherry for $7. Oh well. I love this stuff with all my heart.

Bath and Body Works Candle Strawberry Patch, B&BW Vanilla Verbena Candle, B&BW Stress Relief Vanilla Verbena Massage Oil, B&BW Japanese Cherry Blossom Triple Moisture Body Cream
My boyfriend actually picked all of this Bath and Body Works stuff. He even gave me a nice massage with the oil when we got home. He's the best :) The candles and massage oil were 50% off, and the body cream was 75% off. I'm training him well ;)

B&BW Anti Bac Hand Gel in (top to bottom, left to right) Sweet Petals, S'Mores, Rockin' Cotton, Studly Apple, Blueberry Pancake, Apple Pie and Orange Sapphire, B&BW Lotion in Country Chic
The Anti Bacs ended up being only 37 cents each, which is a good deal. The lotion was 75% off, don't judge me for buying lotion I don't really like.

ELF Powder Brush, Schick Hydro 5 travel pack, Herbal Essences Touchably Soft Shampoo, Olay Cream Scrub, Sally Hansen InstaDry in Blue-Away, Burt's Bees Rejuvenating lip balm with Acai. The black ELF brushes are amazing. For three dollars, you get a soft, nicely washable, dense brush that you can easily replace.  

Cute Earrings from Claire's (I'm wearing the missing pair, which are hearts), Secret Soothing Effects Deodorant/Antiperspirant in Invigorating Rain
The earrings are a little childish, but I love animals. Like, a lot.

That's all of it (I think). I'm very happy with all my purchases :) I'm also very excited because I just ordered my first BirchBox. It says they are shipping July 15th, and I can hardly wait!
