sephora haul

 

 

  

In my defense....

I had a coupon and I have been waiting for a sale or coupon to try the Sephora nail polish X system, and I already know I love Josie Maran Argan oil, and needed more, and the makeup forever was my birthday present from the Sephora club.

So.... Its not as bad as it seems..... so I keep telling myself.

Makeup organization in my bathroom

 

 

 

This is where the new organizational trays from Wal-Mart were put to use, holding makeup in one of the bathroom drawers. Three large drawers and two small ones fit in perfectly. They were $3.97 each.

Most of these glass containers sitting in another drawer are either toothbrush holders or empty candles jars.  Most are cut glass and look like crystal and were pretty enough to sit on the counter, but made the countertop too cluttered. Playing around with them, I accidentally found they sit in this drawer perfectly and  now that is where they live, separating various makeup things.

walmart haul

Its been quite a while since I ran through Wal-Mart on my lunch hour and just threw interesting things in the buggy. Its been such a grey week, and I've been suffering with a sinus infection, and it was just a good week to treat myself to a random Wal-Mart run. 

By far, the very best deal was the Better Home and Garden's set of metal mixing bowls (with lids!), a set of  measuring cups, and measuring spoons and a one year subscription to the magazine.... all for $10.

Have you tried the Medijool Dates? They are delicious. Seriously. Like eating candy, and so nutritious.  I put them in smoothies as a sweetener, and sometimes eat one as dessert.

The heated feet mattress pad is a white elephant Christmas gift for the office.

This will be my official Christmas 2014 color.... Deep Fig, from one of my favorite nail polish, Sally Hansen Gel Polish (review here).

Some not so exciting things, drawer organizers for makeup in the bathroom, my favorite juice, and  Better Home and Garden Candles. The best cheap candle I have found.

Ipsy vs. Birchbox: November

Winner?  Again. Cant pick.

Instead, the things I was most excited to see:

Birchbox: 

• "When Life gives you lemons and you've misplaced your happy place" bubble bath. The name alone made me love it.  It smells like lemons but the bubbles didn't last long.
• Cindy-Lou manizer. I haven't come to an opinion yet. I'm still trying it out, but I've been wanting to try it and  happy to do in Birchbox.

Ipsy:

• Bye Bye Undereye by It Cosmetics. This is my current favorite concealer, so I already knew I love it.
• Bombshell eye shadow:  My favorite color for eyeshadow, a light simmery brown. 

A few things Im loving in November

This nail polish organizational rack from Amazon. Its a little ridiculous how happy it makes me.

Fage Greek Yogurt. I like it plain and eat it with berries and almonds or put it in smoothies.

Loreal facial oil. I use it on my fingernails too. Its not cheap but its half price of my favorite argan oil and still works.

Candles from Better Homes and Garden.  Bath and Body Works candles are my favorite, but even with a sale and a coupon, the cheapest I've ever found them is $8.50.  These are $6 at Walmart. And they are made in the USA. Best cheapest candle there is, and I've tried a lot to come to this conclusion.
