My Drugstore Wishlist

Hello! I have been wanting to make wishlist for a really long time, but I wanted to make it different than my usual 'I can't afford, but I really want' wishlist. I love makeup, and I am a sucker for highend makeup. I love shopping at Sephora and MAC but hate coming out with 2 things and no money in my wallet :(

I live walking distance to a Walgreens and Rite-Aide and I literally can spend hours just looking at the cosmetics aisles. And at work there is a CVS less than a block away so during my lunch break I walk to CVS and just gawk at all the Makeup :)

I have become a bit obsessed with trying to find dupes to all my high-end makeup. I have been successful with some products. But still am in dying need of a good drugstore concealer!!!!

I decided to do a drugstore wishlist. Most of the things on my wishlist are dupes to higher end makeup that I currently own but I am running low on.

1.) Hard Candy Heavey Duty Glamoflauge Concealer $6.00
I have heard so many things about this concealer! Some of my favorite YouTube beauty gurus and beauty bloggers have raved about this concealer and like I have said before beauty gurus are good sales people. And I NEED it. I normally wear MAC select cover-up concealer, and I have been squeazing every tiny bit out. I don't have a Wal-Mart very close to me so I need to wait until I go to one to get this.

2.) Hard Candy Sheer Envy Illuminating Primer $8.00

I recently ran out of my Bare Minerals Prime Time primer, which I loved. Prime Time lasted me a really long  time, and every day I put my makeup on I would expect it to be gone, and finally a few weeks ago it was :( I scraped every last bit. I am currently using Monistat Anti-Chaffing gel as my primer. I used to use it before and it works just as good, but I have also heard very good things about the Hard Candy Primer, so my next trip to Walmart it will be added to my cart.

3.) Hard Candy Sheer Envy Tinted Moisturizer $8.00
Yes, as you can tell I really wanna try Hard Candy makeup! I have been using the E.L.F tinted moisturizer and I really like it. The only thing I don't like about the E.L.F tinted moisturizer is that I just bought it last week and I feel like I will run out of it soon. And like the other Hard Candy products on my list, I have heard good things about this tinted moisturizer.

4.) Maybelline Volum' Express One by One Mascara
I already own this mascara, and I absolutely LOVE it! The best mascara ever!!!!! But the one I have is a little dry so I need a new one. I used to wear a lot of high end mascaras like Dior or Lancome but none can beat this one!

5.) Revlon Super Lusturous Lipglos-Peach Petal

I own 4 of the Revlon Super Lusturous Lipglosses and I love them!!!! I saw this color as I was browsing through a beauty blog. I googled it and knew I had to have it. A perfect nude!


For now this is all I can remember that is on my wishlist! If I think of more I will update the post. And if I purchase these products expect a haul and review post too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch

Quick Post!

I have a new baby and I wanted to share her with all of you!


I have been eyeing all the gold Michael Kors watches, and if you read my blog you will know a MK watch has been on my wishlist for a while. I recently saw a girl wearing a rose gold watch and had to ask her where she got it and who made it! She told me that it was Michael Kors and that she got it at Macy's. I went home and saw that the average cost of a Michael Kors watch was $250.00!!!! Even though I am employed I cannot afford such a thing! So my boyfriend suggested Ebay :/ I have always been hesitant about ebay. But I still looked. I found several watches for around $100. I tried bidding on some but no luck :(

I looked for 3 days straight and no luck! So one day after work, I just googled MK rosegold watch, Nordstrom.com was the first website that popped up. I found a Rose gold MK watch on SALE for $107!!!!! I had it sent to a nearby store to avoid paying shipping so total was about $120!!!


It's the perfect size, the perfect look, and all around just perfect! I love it and here are some quick pics of it!

Review: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss


I have watched a lot of makeup Youtube videos and  this has caused many makeup buys, sometimes they are hits and sometimes they are misses. I see Youtube as a QVC where you watch the beauty gurus talk about a product for several minutes and you suddenly are convinced that you NEED what they have. Well, I have found a huge hit and they are the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses.
Several Youtube gurus have raved about the lip glosses, so I ran to my Walgreens and bought two because there was a buy 1 get one half off deal, so I had to get two..right? :)  I was instantly satisfied with my purchases. I loved the texture, the colors, the lasting power, the packaging, and the price.

I was very unsure which colors to get. The first two colors I bought were Shine City (a clear, glittery color) and Pink Pursuit (a glittery, neutral, soft pink color). I chose these colors because Shine City was a safe color that would go on top of any pretty lipstick. And the reason I got Pink Pursuit is because I saw that if your purchased this particular color proceeds went to Breast Cancer research, and I am a sucker for anything that helps with the fight against cancer.



Left: Shine City
Right: Pink Pursuit

I loved the first colors so much that I went back and got 'Pink Pop' (a bright, rose, pink color) I am totally a neutral girl but I love wearing Pink pop with a neutral eye. Its a great color to mix with lighter toned pink lipsticks. Great color to add to any ones collection.
And recently, I saw someone wearing the prettiest coral, pink color on her lips and I found out that it was 'Coral-Reef'. I went to my CVS and got the last one that they had. It seems that coral, peachy pink color is in for Spring and Summer. I absolutely LOVE this color, its a bright, peachy pink color that is simply gorgeous!


Left: Pink Pop
Right: Coral Reef
 Here are some swatches:


Left to Right: Coral Reef, Pink Pop, Pink Pursuit, Shine City

Shine City: Clear, glittery color


Pink Pursuit: Light, neutral, pink, shimmery color

Pink Pop: Bright pink glossy color

Coral Reef: Pink, peach, glossy color

Overall, I 100% recommend these lip glosses. I am a sucker for packaging and I love the packaging on these lip glosses, they look expensive, and actually remind me of Chanel lip glosses. I love the texture because it is not sticky and they leave a great glossy finish. The price for these is a total steal. I believe they are around $7.99 each but almost all the time they have good deals on the like BOGO. So if you are looking for a good quality, inexpensive lip gloss the Revlon Super Lustrous Lip glosses are a must!
