Mini-Haul: Target & Ulta

 What time is it?! IT'S HAUL TIME!!!

It's been a while since my last haul. I've been refraining myself from buying more makeup... It is a really unhealthy obsession but what to do! Since I bought more than five items today, thought I should share 'em with y'all because some of these items I picked up, I have been waiting anxiously for, like The Nudes.

FACE

Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette in Hidden Agenda - Light
Sonia Kashuk All Covered Up Concealer in Porcelain

Y'all know how much I love my Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette, I love it so much that I almost used up my current palette. I love that the palette has three different shades for different areas and blemishes. This is my second time repurchasing this palette, the first since Sonia Kashuk revamp her products, er, packaging. I hope the formula didn't change or anything.

I couldn't stop myself from also picking up the full coverage concealer. I wonder if Porcelain is a little too light for my skin tone though, I was contemplating between Porcelain and Ivory. Although Porcelain is lighter, it has a yellow undertone whereas Ivory has a pinkish undertone. If anything, I'll exchange it for a different shade.

EYES

Maybelline The Nudes
Wet N Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Dark Brown

YES! Finally got my hands on The Nudes!! It took me a good while but here it is. The colors look gorgeous. If this is anything like the other Maybelline shadows, then it is nothing short of amazing. Cannot wait to play around with 'em. For those who already tried them out, how are they?

Did not have time to stop by Walgreens to pick up a new brown liquid liner, luckily Target now has a Wet N Wild section. The section is still missing quite a few products but I'll give it time.

LIPS

Pixi by Petra Succulent Lip Twin Lip & Cheek  Tint in Pink Peony
Maybelline Baby Lips Crystal in:
- Crystal Kiss
- Gleaming Coral
- Pink Quartz
- Beam of Blush
- Mirrored Mauve

This Succulent Lip Twin was also in the clearance section. I picked it up for $5.40, but the original price was $18, later reduced to $9. I just dove right in as soon as I saw the pretty shade. It says this is a lip and cheek tint but also says it is a lip balm... Hmm. The way the product is designed is also interesting.

And finally... I caved in and bought the new Baby Lips. I held out for as long as I could but they just kept taunting me. LOL. I picked up five shades, all the shades that were available at Ulta. I am unsure if there are more shades available, but I gotta tr these first. The sparkle, sparkle glitter looks sooo pretty!

NAILS

Pixi Nail Color in Lime Lustre
Sally Hansen Kwik Off  Moisturizing Nail Polish Remover

I was lucky enough to spot this gorgeous nail color from the clearance section, this was the last bottle of this shade. There were a few others, but I didn't need anymore black and yellow. This was originally priced for $8 I believe, but I snatched it for $2.40. Still not the cheapest polish I've ever scored but I don't mind. Such a pretty green that I have yet to have in my collection.

For more info on this Pixi nail color, visit yesterday's manicure post called The Lone Strawberry. :)

This is what I use to remove my nail polish; this must be the hundredth one I went through. It strips of the polish within seconds yet very gentle on the skin and nails. It comes in a little jar with a sponge with three slits inside; I have not had any spillage accident in the longest while.

BEAUTY TOOLS

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
Up & Up Cosmetic Wedges (latex foam)
Ardell Brow Precision Shaper

Woohoo! Real Techniques came out with their own beauty sponge. It's so firm, yet soft, with a slight bounce to it. I haven't tested it yet so there is no way to tell how great it'll work but considering how all of my favorite brushes are Real Techniques so...

Applying BB Creams with a damp sponge has become my new favorite way of application. Sometimes, using disposable sponges are better than using beauty sponges. Since I am running low on them at home, I bought another pack from Target, 32 sponges for less than $2.

Yeah, I needed new brow shapers. I have the other type right now and thought I should give these a try to see which one works better.

That's all for now guys. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading all! Come back soon!! :)
