Haul! | Victoria's Secret & CVS (amazing deals!)

So while running errands with my mother today I asked if we could have a quick stop at the mall to run into Victoria's Secret because I had some coupons (which I always forget to use then they expire) for some free items and $10 off of ANY purchase! So I pretty much got a $10 gift card in the mail for free! So I had 2 free all over cotton pink panty coupons, 2 $10 off a bra coupons (which I didn't use), 1 free cotton hiphugger, and the $10 off of any purchase coupons. After searching for something to buy with the $10 off coupon, I spotted the cutest make up bag ever! And it just so happened to be $10! So I picked it up and happily walked over to the register and ended up leaving the store with $35.50 worth 
of merchandise for free!




Then while roaming CVS for some household items, I passed by this little set by Wet n Wild, called Flora Collection. It had some a limited edition trio of eye shadows which are really what caught my eye! The trio is called Flora and it has a salmony-orange (eyelid), bright teal (crease), and a sheer toned-down lime green (browbone). I absolutely LOVE Wet n Wild shadows, they are very soft and creamy, which makes them very easy to use, and they last quite a long time on! The nail polish that came in the set is called Twining Vines, and it is the fast dry formula, which I haven't tried before. It's a clear based polish PACKED with tiny little gold and lime green micro glitters. They're so small that it's borderline shimmer. The nest item in the set was a Glassy Gloss Lip Gel in Mow the Glass. In the tube and swatch it's a really pretty coral-pink, but as I assumed the color didn't show up on my lips at all. I hoped this would smell of some sort of fruit but it smelled like any other inexpensive drugstore lip gloss and it is quite sticky, I have a feeling this will be collecting dust in my lip drawer until I finally decide to toss it. And the last item is a Coloricon blusher in the color Mellow Wine. A gorgeous coral-red matte blush, very pigmented. My only con about this so far is the way that it's shaped, the skinny rectangular tin will make for awkward application and a lot of fall out from trying to cover the brush. Overall for $4.99 I think it's a steal!

What I'm about | Why I'm here

So, if you've read the title hopefully you will understand that this is my first ever time blogging. I want to be able to sort of let people know about what it's like to be me, and to explore new ways to release some creativity. I love reading reviews on products and finding out inside tips on beauty and make up related things. I absolutely love to musicals, on screen and on stage, and I love seeing movies he second they show in theatres because I hate missing out on a good film (the few that are made anymore...) I have quite a sarcastic personality, and I am part of Las Vegas' Longest Running Improv Comedy Show where I am an on stage host and (sort of) model. I hope I can reach out to some people and form a place where people can find some information and explanations on things!

Thanks for reading!
