ULTA and Wal-Mart Haul!

So last weekend I went to ULTA and Wal-Mart to pick up a few things: some new brushes, a few specific polishes from the OPI Euro CentraIe, and a few pieces from Drew Barrymore's new makeup line for Wal-Mart, Flower. I ended up with more than a few items, but what girl wouldn't? I thought this would be a good opportunity to share my first haul with you guys!

First I went to ULTA. Here are a few close-ups of some items I got.

I made a beeline for the Euro Centrale collection as soon as I walked in. Polka.com, which I really really wanted, was already sold out ): But I found plenty of Can't Find My Czechbook, which I also wanted.

I also nabbed the last Orly Glowstick. These pictures do not do it justice. Glowstick is a very very neon chartreuse leaning more yellow. It's super bright. I would definitely check it out in store. I'm looking forward to wearing this in the summer.

I also got some things I wanted to try. Yes, believe it or not I've never tried Macadamia Deep Repair Masque OR OPI Nail Envy. I know, I know - I'm super late to the game. I decided to get a one use packet of the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque so I could try it out. I decided to try the mask because SO many youTubers rave about it. Elle Fowler aka allthatglitters21 is the first person I think of when I think of the Macadamia Deep Repair Masque. She uses it as her everyday conditioner because she has super dry hair. I have fine, thin hair with oily roots and dry ends so I'll be using it as a deep conditioning treatment. If I like it, I'll buy the full size.

My nails could also use a little TLC. I started taking Biotin a little over a month ago. My nails used to be thin, weak and peel super easily. After taking the Biotin my nails have stopped peeling but are still on the thinner/weaker side. So I decided to double duty and invest in OPI Nail Envy to give them that added boost of strength.

You'll notice that included were a few pictures of brushes. I intend on giving them their own blog post, so I'll save the details for later.

After that I went to Wal-Mart, with my heart set on picking up some items from Flower Beauty. I found the Flower Beauty section and had planned on snapping a picture of the display but it was a wreck! I had to hunt for items that didn't have broken seals and what was left was heavily picked over. I'll have to go back and check it out again after the initial excitement of a new line dies down.

Yes you read that right. Cake Batter. Cake. Batter. CAKE BATTER. And OMG does it taste yummy. Just like vanilla cupcakes. Soooo good.

I also got a couple of nail items. The polish is It's Complicated by Pure Ice. The other item is Sally Hansen's Instant Cuticle Remover. I have the one in the green tube but it just doesn't work for me so I bought this one to try.

I also bought some eye cream for my night routine. I use the L'Oreal Age Perfect because it's thick, luxurious, and frankly I'm not getting any younger. I also nabbed another lip balm. I was SOOOO exited when I saw this one. That flavor is my favorite flavor of gum EVER. I just HAD to buy it. Lastly, I I bought some Flower Beauty products. *squee* I've tried the foundation once this past week, but I'll post a proper review later.

After taking the following pic I realized my hand and wrist look like a butt. It's not a butt. It's my chubby hand and wrist I swear.

These lipsticks are quite awesome. The black tube is a high shine, glossy lipstick. The white tube is a matte lipstick. The staying power is what you'd imagine: the glossy one doesn't last that long but the matte one could be used as a stain if you pat it in. They don't have any particular smell. The glossy is very creamy but the matte one is slightly dry. But I love the color of the matte so much it doesn't matter. All in all I'd definitely recommend these lipsticks.

And that's my haul! I hope you enjoyed it. See you again soon!
