Mini Kohl's Haul

I'm loving this lace peplum top I got from Kohl's! It is very girly and dressy! I think no matter what size you are peplum-styled clothing looks great--surprisingly! This shirt was around $22 on sale. It's a bit much but I couldn't resist not buying it! I don't shop at Kohl's too often and I had $10 Kohl's cash so I had to get this!

I'm not a huge Badgers fan but this shirt was on sale for $6.60! That's a great deal! I could see myself wearing this to sleep or for sporting-themed events and plus, it's quite comfy. Now you know where I live!

Here's a close-up of the glitter/shimmer in "catch." Can you see it?

This is the last top I got from Kohl's. Of course, it was also on sale for a little less than $12. It's kind of a see through cropped top. I'm not a fan of cropped top since I'm a little meaty so they're not flattering, but I couldn't resist the Princess Vera Wang logo/design. I wore this the other day and it looks amazing despite it being a cropped top.

Doesn't it look...fabulous? <3

Mini CVS Haul

These are probably the top two products that I always buy from CVS or any drugstore. I love the SIMPLE Cleansing Facial Wipes. They're the only makeup remover wipes I use. All the other ones sting my eyes. The Physician's Formula Eye Booster is also amazing! It's a 2-in-1 eyeliner + serum. It helps your lashes grow longer as well as line your eyes. The felt tip is super thin so you can draw thin OR thick lines. I absolutely love, love these two products! It was great that they were having a sale on both!

The SIMPLE wipes weren't on sale but I had a $1.75 off coupon and used that for it and for the Physician's Formula Eye Booster it was buy one get one half off, so I got one for me and my sister since she was sad that it was sold out last time we went to CVS.

Speaking of sold out products, I swear that everytime I go to CVS the Nuance by Salma Hayek Eyebrow Pencil in Brown is ALWAYS SOLD OUT...at the store and ONLINE!!!! I did contact CVS about them restocking it and was told that my local CVS has them in stock but that same day I went and it wasn't in stock. So, what I'm thinking is that they just said that the eyebrow pencil was back in stock...but it wasnt! There was a different colored eyebrow pencil in stock, but not the brown colored one. I'm so mad and disappointed!!!! Now I have to resort to buying a different brand of eyebrow pencils :(

Have you encountered a similar problem? What do you shop for at CVS?

Mini Wal-Mart Haul

I was running to Wal-Mart for some nail polish remover and ended up purchasing some other items. I had to get candy canes since I'm in such a Christmas spirit! But, I didn't even get to eat any of them since my nieces and nephews ate them all :( As for the nail polish remover pads I chose these over the regular nail polish remover because this seems faster and I hardly ever paint my nails often, so having something convenient such as this would be better. Then, right above the nail polish remover pads I spotted the Sensational Gel Nail Polish and was eager to try it. (If you read my past post--the one below this--you can see my short review on the gel nail polish). Next, I had to try out the new Revlon Photoready Eyeshadow. It comes with eyeshadows and a primer. I didn't try out the primer yet but the eyeshadows are amazing! I love how the eyelid color is very creamy and the eyeshadows in general are quite pigmented! I'm going to buy more as soon as I go shopping  again :)

That's it for my mini Wal-Mart haul! Below are some pictures:

I forgot to mention this one! This is Moon Dough that I bought for my niece in the clearance section for $2!!!! It's very messy and the dough isn't like regular dough. It's very soft and spreads easily. I wouldn't recommend letting kids play with this on carpet.

equate Nail Polish Remover Pads w/acetone

There are 10 pink rectangular sheets

one sheet can remove the nail polish off all 10 fingers

Remember to read my short review on this gel nail polish! It may help you decide whether or not to buy this!

Haul-ah #3: School Supplies + Thrifting

In the video, I show you some of the school supplies that I bought from Office Max and some awesome clothes I bought from Goodwill.

At the time that I went to Office Max, there was a sale of some sort where you spend $25 and get $5 and if you make at least a $5 purchase, then you get 20 free #2 pencils. I had to take up on this deal!

On top of that, Office Max gave me a coupon for Payless, which was printed onto my receipt, for $10 off a $25 purchase at Payless. I needed new kicks so I had to go!!!! I didn't show my shoes or other dept. store purchases in the video because that portion was cut-off or deleted. I don't know why.

Below are a few shots I took of my thrift store finds:

Hollister Pink & White Button-Up Shirt $7

Hollister Red Plaid Button-Up Shirt $7

MOSSIMO (Target) Gray & White Striped Shirt $5

Maurices Teal Blazer (from Maurices not Goodwill) $32
+ Pink Hollister Tank (Goodwill) $5

trying to show you how the blazer kind of points out at the shoulders

Target Lace Dress $25 (from Target not Goodwill)

Haha...my niece Alexia is trying to be cool while filming me *PEACE*

KISSing time! LOL she trying to pose like a teen

Haul-ah! #2 : Wal-Mart, Maurices & Younkers

WAL-MART

I first went to Wal-Mart since I figured it would have the cheapest sunglasses out there. Which, so far from where I've gone, it does have the cheapest sunglasses...although not the most appealing. These will do for now!
You can't really see in the picture but the shades are cheated printed or spotted.

 MAURICES

This is the only thing I got from Maurices. It was around $32 after I got $5 off from trying on Maurices denim. It's like a turquoise or aqua color and has little cinches--if that's what you call it--on the ends of the sleeves. When you wear this it almost looks like you have shoulder pads on because the shoulders kind of flare out, but it's not extreme. It IS short and not long so keep that in mind. Overall, this was my favorite item that I bought because it's totally different from anything I have and is very classy, dress, and feminine. I LOVE IT!

 YOUNKERS

Younkers was having a huge sale where you can spend up to $100 and get  $50 off and this includes Yellow Dot, Door Busters, etc. that you can get to add up to $100--even though the coupon says you can't. They had some nice stuff, but since I arrived 2 hours before they closed most of the good stuff was taken already. I settled for this cardigan by Relativity since it was only $7.99. It's unique and cute and I was telling myself that I didn't get it someone else was. Also, if I were to buy this at a thrift store it would be about $5.99 (used) so I figured this was more worth it (buying it now).

I also got these fringed wedges that are suede material. They're super cute on and would look great with skinny jeans, a dress, or pretty much anything.

The second last thing I got from Younkers were these Relativity studded flats. I only have one other pair of flats, so I thought getting another wouldn't be bad...especially since these were pretty cheap. I can't wait to wear them!
The last thing I got were another pair of cheetah style shades but with bigger lenses.

That's a wrap! Hope you enjoyed my haul-ah! <3 Mary
