Beauty Buys!

Okay guys, so today I went shopping for back to school at Target and I also got a lot of stuff for college and my room. Then I went to Beauty Brands and picked up some shampoo and condition plus some makeup. After that my final stop was at Walgreen's, actually and they have quite a few deals and I picked up some more makeup and stuff there.

From Target I actually didn't get anything really beauty related but I do want to mention the stuff I bought for college there today. So from Target I got: a shower caddy, masking tape, school supplies, a tote for carrying books and stuff (like a back pack), silverware,  and a purse. I thought about getting this little 6 cube shelf thing for like the rooms plates, bowls, and snacks. My room is a triple and I'm trying to add what I can to the room but because I'm coming from so far away I'm worried that I won't have enough room in my trunk so I didn't get the shelf.

Then at Beauty Brands I made sure to get my Matrix shampoo and condition because they're having their Liter Sale! So I got my $21 shampoo for $11.98 and for the conditioner, which is normally $25, I also got that for $11.98. For those I use the orange bottles- which are Matrix Essentials sleek.look. I will have to do a review on that later because I'm afraid this post will be a little lengthy but suffice it to say I definitely like this set. So moving on, I also bought a glominerals gloProtective liquid foundation and my color is golden matte 2 (the box shows a roman numerals two). This foundation comes in satin finish or matte and I prefer matte because I've used other matte foundations before and I knew that I would like the matte. So I didn't want to spend that much money testing the satin finish just in case I didn't like it. I haven't tried it out for all day wear yet but it looks like it will appear cakey if you apply with just fingers so I'll definitely have to apply it with a foundation brush and then I'll review that later. Oh yea, and that was I think $37. I also got Smashbox Photo OP Under Eye Brightener and I'm not really sure if this is supposed to be used as a concealer or if it's a highlighter so I'll be looking that up and then let you guys know after I try it and then review the product. So then I bought the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette which is something I've been wanting for a while and have considered buying online but I worried that the eye shadows would break during shipping so I just went ahead and bought it in store. I think this will be really pretty and it actually has directions on how to wear it but I have kind of a different idea in mind and I'll make sure that when I review it I include their instructions with my own. Because this was over $30 I got two products for free: the Too Faced Lockdown Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow and the Too Faced Lashgasm mascara. I've actually gotten these products before as part of the same promotion and I really like the Lockdown eye shadow in bedroom eyes, I believe it's called, but today the lady gave me this blue color called I'm guilty and I really don't think I'll be using that. The Lashgasm mascara I've also gotten before and to be honest I don't like it that much- I don't think that you should spend a lot of money on mascara, drug store brands are just as good if not better. The Too Faced Lashgasm actually clumps quite a bit.

Ok, so then I went to Walgreen's because I originally needed to buy more Zyrtec but then I walked in and they were having this sale on Essie nail polishes and I've really been wanting the color ballet slippers so I had to get that. Plus in addition to the sale you got a free Essie emery board with your purchase. Then I wanted a few other nail polishes that were a little cheaper and those were both Wet n Wild brand- I got Party of Five Glitters and Teal of Fortune. They were $1.99 a piece. I also got tweezers and nail clippers because I figured I should get my own for my dorm room since I won't be able to use our home ones. Then I got Maybelline New York The Falsies Volume Express mascara because again it's something I've been wanting to try and that was almost $8. I got L'Oreal Paris Elnett satin Hairspray in extra strong hold- I actually got the little version to try it because I've never used it before, 2.2 oz were $6.99. Then I also bought a makeup removing cleanser- Neutrogena naturals fresh cleansing + makeup remover because I wanted to have a makeup remover for before I used my actual face wash. I also got some gel, liquid, and pencil eyeliner to try out. I got some scunci hair ties and headbands, some nail polish remover (a fresh bottle for college, I don't want my current bottle to leak during the move), and three packages of cotton rounds because I use like four everyday- two in the morning and two at night to apply my face stuff.

So that was everything I got today and if there's something you really want me to review quickly let me know in the comments because I'll do whatever I'm asked to first. Otherwise I'll probably do it just by what I've been really

I know this post is really long so thanks for reading :)
