Black Friday Beauty Haul Part 1

My Black Friday shopping was just out of control this year.

I've bought so many products I've been lusting after, now everyday I get a new package on my doorstep full of goodies!

The first boxes are from Sephora and Coastal Scents.





I bought the Contour and Blush palette at Coastal scents are I'm happy to report they live up to my expectations, if you are looking for inexpensive products with staying power these are great. I also ordered a couple of brushes and I find the quality to be really good. Bonus they had the cutest tissue paper and I heart makeup stickers :)

From Sephora I got a ton of samples from the Kat Von D sample bag plus the usual samples.

My main stand outs are the 4 $10 deals I got.

The Josie Maran faces wipes might be my new favorite, I love her argan oil for my face. I have super sensitive skin lately and these wipes made it feel clean with no reaction. The nail wipes are definitely different from any others I have used. They take some scrubbing to get the polish off, but it doesn't feel harsh on my cuticles like regular remover does.

The Ole Heniksen set also is working out well for me. The truth serum is excellent and worth the set in itself. I have not really tried the other two products yet since I wanted to make sure I would not have a reaction to my new products first.

The Philosophy Purity face wash is a great gentle cleaner and for a full size bottle that retails for $26 I could not pass it up for $10.

The Boscia set is also intriguing. I liked the black mask when I tried it, I have yet to try the other products.

I did also buy the Pacifica Coconut Bronzing lotion, however it is going back. When I opened it up and looked at it, it's orange. I'm talking cheeto orange! I did however love the smell, after I checked Sephora's site it looks like they are phasing out Pacifica since there are hardly any products available.

Stay tuned for part 2 Black Friday Beauty Haul. I want to try most of the products before I blog about them. I also have a Black Friday haul of some really cool non-beauty products I picked up to. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Shopping Spree and Hello Kitty

Over the weekend i did manage to find some time to do some shopping (well actually severe weather and not wanting to get soaked kept me in a mall to browse.) I'm in the process of finishing my last in class semester of college and moving from Florida to Alexandria, VA which is right by Washington DC, so as much as i love it, shopping has taken a backseat to packing lol.

Memorial Day means excellent sales. Torrid and Hot Topic had their clearance an additional 50% off so i had to scope it out and found a few awesome things. I've been building my accessory collection lately since it is lacking so it's always good to find items on clearance.
From Hot Topic i bought these items (some are available online for the same price)
I love Hello Kitty and hair bows so this was a must buy at 3.99



I love crosses and crucifixes and such so i had to have this for 3.99




This necklace appealed to me too, i love bows and thought the spike was too cute 2.49



I also bought these clip-ins not sure which i bought at HT and Torrid but they were all on clearance


Now onto my purchases from Torrid.

I'm in heels A LOT for concerts and going out to events and sometimes i just need relief from my beautiful but killer heels. I sometimes carry flip flops from this occasion but when i saw these flats i knew i found an awesome alternative. They were 12.49 i think


they fold up and like this

and zip into a cute pouch to fit easily into your purse



and it also folds out into a bag to carry your killer heels or to wrap them in and stick in your purse. Either way i think these flats are perfect for their job. They had them in black too which i only wish they had my size in since they would go with most of my wardrobe but i figured red would come in handy too



The last item i picked up was Hello Kitty Rain boots, i don't know why i haven't bought any rain boots sooner, but living in Florida they come in handy, I'm sure I'll get to where them up in Virginia too. They were a steal at 10.49 at of all places Sears, I've honestly haven't shopped in their in many years, but after google searching for hello kitty rain boots i saw they did have them at one time so with time on my hands to avoid the bad weather i wandered in and sure enough there they were, and on clearance!

Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend! What were your finds of the weekend?

Nail Polish Review- Sally Hansen HD

So after hearing the Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color was on clearance at CVS i had to go and see for myself (there's also many other great beauty items on clearance including my FAV light pink Essie French Affair) I also had $1 off 2 coupons so i really lucked out and got each of these nail polishes for .75 vs the retail of 6.99 and one thing i LOVE is a good deal.

I will say that all the colors with the exception of Pixel Pretty went on easily in two coats. For some reason that one was difficult both times I've applied it. (I wore it with the Silver OPI Shatter from the Pirates of the Caribbean line earlier this week, loved it!)



From Left(Pinky)to Right(Thumb)
Sally Hansen HD Hi-Res (I love this color, it's not quite pink, but not quite red)
Sally Hansen HD Cyber
Revlon Top Speed 730 Royal (one coat went on soooo easily)
Sally Hansen HD Pixel Pretty
Sally Hansen HD Digital (very pretty hot pink, much prettier in person)


The Revlon Royal was also on sale, you get 4 Reward Dollars. The retail was 4.99, I had a $1 off coupon as well so it was like getting it for free! I absolutely love this blue. It would look great with the OPI Black or Silver shatters

Welcome!

So this is the first blog post for my new blog. This blog will be all about fashion, makeup and beauty products, and other lifestyle related products that i absolutely love. There are a lot of beauty and fashion bloggers, but very few cater to an alternative style. I'm a rock n roll junkie with a strong sense of fashion who believes you can be original, and rock and still not be a fashion victim. I will review products, show you the awesome pieces i find, and the bargains i couldn't resist along with many other things like cutting up t-shirts, and how to create some fabulous rocker looks.
