Retail Therapy: HAUL!

I was in major need of a little retail therapy and decided to pick up a few thing I've been eying for a while from Ulta, Target and Charming Charlie.

Charming Charlie:
  • Aviator Sunglasses: This was actually my first time in Charming Charlie, but I've been wanting a pair of aviators since my old ones broke months ago. I especially loved these because they have a black and pink flower detail on the side pieces. Best part, is they don't touch my cheeks when I smile! ;)
  • Sunglasses Case:  As you can tell, I'm a little rough my sunglasses, so I decided to pick up a (super cute) case.  These were originally about $10, but this was on clearance for $2!!! Obviously meant to be. 
Ulta:
  • Maybelline 24-Hour Eye Tattoo in Barely Beige: I heard about this limited edition shade, and I had to check it out.  It's remarkably similar to MAC's Bare Study paint pot... stay tuned for a comparison blog!
  • NYX Slide On Eye Liners:  As you have seen on my makeup posts, I'm slightly obsessed with bright color liners! These two stuck out the most to me, bright blue and jewel-toned purple. Obsessed.
Target:
  • Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Darling:  I saw a review on this line from iMaryMac on youtube and she mentioned how much she liked this color in particular.  I thought the lilac tone was very intriguing and surprisingly enough, it's super flattering.  My own complaint so far is the texture, almost waxy. 
  • Revlon Color Stay Eyeshadow Quad in Addictive:  This was a gift for my mom.  She's been out of eyeshadow, and I heard good things about this line from Amarixe on yotuube (can you tell how much I love youtube beauty girls? HA!).  This was the most neutral quad, which is exactly my mom's taste.
  • Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch:  Okay, okay, again, another youtuber recommendation! Tanya Burr or pixi2woo on youtube, has been wearing this shade constantly in her videos.  I've heard about the Baby Lips from several other gurus for months, and finally got around to buying one.  I'm not totally convinced of it's moisturizing properties, but the color is a sheer hot pink that is beautiful. 
 And after all that, my worries subsided as I fell in love with all my new cute things. Hope you enjoyed! :)
