Recent Hauls/Purchases/Acquisitions

Sorry I don't have time for a proper post today, the class I'm taking this summer is threatening to kick my butt if I don't give it nearly every second of my free time.  And I don't take kindly to threats of violence, so I better stay on top of it. :)

I just wanted to share a few things I bought/acquired recently so you know what to expect in upcoming reviews!


I like high end makeup, but I'm a drugstore queen at heart.  I didn't buy all you see above at once, but with sales and coupons I only paid about a total of $30 for it.  You can barely buy an eyeshadow palette for 30 bucks at Sephora.  I always try to save my money to buy a few higher end things, but my natural tendency is to spend as little money as possible while acquiring the most items.  What can I say, I'm cheap.


The above are few recent indie makeup purchases.  I've really been into pink eyeshadow lately, so I just HAD to buy the pink mNg trio from My Pretty Zombie when I had the chance.  Something else I had to take advantage of (again!) was Detrivore's sale of 10 eyeshadows for $20.  Unfortunately Detrivore is closed for the next month and a half so I feel bad posting swatches when you can't even order right now!  I may just wait to post them until her shop opens again.


And last, but not least, I won Zoya's Summertime and Sunshine collection from Mary from Body and Soul when she was hosting a giveaway.  Isn't that awesome?! I was even planning on buying a few from the Sunshine collection before I found out I won.  I even love the cremes, but I have so many nail polishes that I'm pretty sure I have dupes for almost every color.  My stash is already out of control as it is, so I was thinking of saving them for a giveaway of my own.  Do you think it would be rude/weird to give away something that I won?  I just would rather them go to someone who would use them more than I would.


So there ya go.  Is there anything you've bought/reviewed recently that you're especially excited about? Feel free to share links if you want.


Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!

  1. The Zoya Summertime collection is beautiful. As far as giving away ones that you have/have dupes of, I don't think it's all that rude. It's like sharing your prize with others. I think trying to SELL them would be what would be a little over the line (not that you are, I'm just saying that's my opinion)

    Can't wait to see swatches on the indie brands. I don't buy many as I don't really need anything more, but I love to look.

  3. If you know you have dupes and aren't going to use them, I think that it's really generous of you to give them away to someone who would. And you're not cheap, just a good shopper!!

  5. Great haul! I can't wait to see the swatches. I don't think it's rude to give away the polishes. I just announced a giveaway for my MAC Burmese Beauty Quad, because I never use it. Someone who really wants this will end up getting it, and they won't have to pay a ton of money for one on Ebay. I like being generous with my stash. :)

  6. Oo, I have some Essence lip glosses and I love them! I have a Fairytale and a couple of the XXL Shines. For the shine, color, and price, you cannot beat them with a stick! And congratulations on that awesome Zoya win :)!

  8. I totally don't think it's rude to give them away. If you do a giveaway with those Zoyas, I hope I win. I really want each and every one of those colors...I have no dupes for any of them.
