Here is the picture of my cosmetic haul for the year 2011 (I hope it's the last one. I think it will keep me well stock for more than a year). All of this products were just bought from Target and CVS. I'm such an impulsive buyer that I just bought this without discounts or any sales (but thanks to bf I didn't spent that much) and just based from the reviews.
From the top:
1) Sonia Kashuk makeup bag - This was on clearance sale for around $4.99. Size is small but good enough to store makeups you will be needing during overnights or short out of town trips. It's a foldable bag and once opened, you will see 2 zipped and clear compartment inside. Makeup brushes fits fine and because the compartment is clear, it will be easy for you to find the product you need. The closure are magnetic snaps and it's made of plastic so you can just leave it by the bathroom sink without any fear of getting it wet.
2) Wet n Wild Eyeshadow Trio palette - Wet n Wild have a lot of trio palettes available but I picked Silent Treatment and Sweet as Candy. I do prefer minimal and natural color eyeshadows which is why I picked this two. Colors are from pink to brown for the Sweet as Candy and gray, brown and pink for Silent Tretatment. I've tried Sweet as Candy and I was impressed with its pigmentation. This comes in the shimmering side however but it's a good eyeshadow for only $2.99. I still have to test how long it stays on though.
Second row:
3) Physicians Formula Happy Booster Translucent powder - One of PF's newest product which claims that it will boost your mood and feel happy. I really don't know if it makes me happy when I put it on but the packaging is so cute and those hearts just makes me smile. So I really can't tell if it made me happy or I'm just adoring it/ It's not fragrance free. It does have a scent ,more of rose like because of the violet extract the product has. But the scent is very very minimal. It's so faint that you'll just smell it if you actually smell the product. It's a face powder but since it has a hint of shimmer I used it as a highlighter instead. It's a bit expensive for a drugstore brand so I encourage you to buy it when it's on sale or during any promotion.
4) ELF Eyeshadow - This one only cost a dollar. The palette is called Teal Dream. I've tried it on earlier and its ok. It's not heavily pigmented but it is shimmering upon application. I still have to test it's staying power though. But I do love the colors and since it's cheap, it's worth trying.
5) Physicians Formula Multicolored Palette Blush in Blushing Peach - Another product I've heard and read good reviews about. Not heavily pigmented nor shimmery which I like and it gives you that natural peachy blush. One of the best buy I did. I just want to wear it over and over.
Last row:
6) Wet n Wild Silk finish lipsticks - One of the cheapest but good lipstick I have discovered. For only $0.99 you have a couple of shades to choose from. What I like about it, is that even if its cheap the quality is pretty impressive. I've used the two shades I have which are 510A and 502A and it didn't dry my lips at all. You might need to re-apply it but it doesn't wear off that easily. I just love this one. 510A is almost the same shade as Clinique Beauty. The only thing I wish Wet n Wild would change is the placement of the label. Yes, the products have names but because it's placed microscopically in the plastic which you have to remove to use the product it's very easy to forget or even notice it.
7) Physicians Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural - This one is pretty much the same as the powder except it is a blush. It also comes in another shade called Rose. I'm glad I picked the natural shade because you have to be gentle when you swatch your brush and apply it on your cheek. I mean really gentle coz too much is really too much especially for the lighter complexion. I was just thinking what more the Rose shade which looks darker. I also have to mention that it comes with a brush which is pretty much useless for me, use a blush or powder brush instead. If you apply it minimally the blush is just right.
8) NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Powder in Pink Cheek Glow - This was an unplanned item but when I saw this I knew I just have to buy it. It looks pretty similar with PF's multicolored palette but way cheaper (around $5 cheaper). It is categorize as a powder but it's better as a cheek color. You don't want to have the whole facial pink glow. I have no regrets picking this one.
9) ELF Tinkle Pink blush - Another cheap blush, sold for $3. The color is the shade I wanted not too pink or peachy, on application however you have to apply it a couple of times to make it more visible and to pop the color. But if you're just rooting for a faint blush, this is for you.
So I guess you can say I'm a happy shopper with my cosmetic haul for this month.
