I haven't done a haul in a while and since most of my IMATS purchases for next month will be for my kit, I figured I would pick up a couple of things for myself.
My haul starts with Walgreens... can you guess what I wanted to buy there? Wet n Wild palettes! The nearest Walgreens is a little ways from where I live, but since I was in that area I decided to stop and browse. I picked up the Wet n Wild 8 pan palette in Blue Had me at Hello ($4.99), that was the only palette that I wanted because I love blue and green eyeshadows. I saw a few of the trio palettes there but I had most of the colors in other palettes-there was no need to buy duplicate colors.
That's it for my haul! I didn't break the bank too bad. I got my first commission for being a Sigma affiliate so that helped with the purchases! Click HERE for more info about the Sigma affiliate program.

I also browsed Walgreens clearance rack and found Jordana lip liners on clearance for $1 each. I bought mauve and spice.
Next up is Burt's Bees... I've never tried Burt's Bees but heard good reviews about their products. I was actually buying body butter for a friend who has severe dry skin and I stumbled upon the Burt's Bees Tips n Toes kit on Ebay. The seller was selling the kit for $6.99 each. I bought 3 of them, 2 as gifts and 1 for myself. It's an 8 piece kit that includes: Honey lip balm, Coconut foot creme, Exfoliating pumice stone, Peppermint foot lotion, Hand salve, Lemon Butter cuticle creme, Beeswax creme and Almond Milk beeswax hand creme.
I love this kit, it's a great way to try their products to see if you like them or not. I love the hand salve and the lemon butter cuticle creme, they moisturize really well and they're non-greasy. I didn't like the Beeswax creme because it was sticky, so I threw it away. The Almond Milk hand creme was great for moisture but I can't stand the smell of Almond body products, needless to say... I threw away the Almond creme too.
Laslty, my Sephora haul. I hardly ever buy from Sephora, I forgot how much I loved it-they're always giving out freebies and samples and they have all kinds of value kits from numerous makeup brands. I only purchased because I got a free 6 oz Philosophy Vanilla cake bubble bath/shower gel.
I never tried any of Urban Decay's products besides the primer potion, so I purchased the Urban Decay Show pony shadow box. It comes with 6 shadows: a peachy pink, turquoise, deep green, electric purple, deep bronze and copper. It also comes with a mini Urban Decay primer potion and the 24/7 eye pencil in zero. I can already tell from the pigmentation of these shadows that I will definitely be buying more of them. The price was originally $30 but I got it for $16!
It's a cute size, it can actually fit in my purse :) |

Next, I bought the infamous Rosebud Salve in a can. It's priced at $6. I bought 2 of them since they were so cheap. I've heard great reviews about this product. It has many uses for: soothing cuts and burns, dry skin, lip balm and exfoliant and taming unruly brows.
Now for the freebies! Since I'm a Sephora beauty insider and I reached 100 points in purchases I got a Hello Kitty grape eye liner.
It's small, but it delivers a lot of color. |
Also, I saw a promotion for a free Too Faced bronze tint primer sample. I added that to my other items. It debuts in a few weeks at Sephora and it's a primer with a bronzed tint... sounds innovative.
This color is close to my skin tone, I may have to purchse the full sized product. |
The full sized primer will be $30 for 1 oz... glad I got the sample. I also received my 3 free standard samples from Sephora that you pick out when you place an order. I got a sample of the Sephora moisturizer, a mask and a perfume sample.
