October Collective Haul: The Good Stuff.

[Pic Heavy] A collective haul of some things I got in October that I think are amazing/worth mentioning.

Muji Drawers [Acrylic 5 Drawer Case]

Ohmylanta. I first saw these on Heart Kristel's blog & thought they were soo awesome. Fast forward to a couple months later & she posted that the Muji drawers were back in stock 'cause apparently they're pretty darn popular & sell out quickly. They're pretty much my favorite thing I've gotten in awhile. The drawers are kind of small (height-wise) but they still fit a lot of stuff. The two bottom pics are to show how much you can actually store in them. The exact measurements given by the site are: 10.2 x 6.9 x 6.3" o.O But um.. I don't understand that language. I understand this.. They're about the length of 2 lipsticks. The width of about 11-12 miscellaneous lipsticks. The height is like stacking 2 WnW palettes/trios. The only bad thing is that they're not tall enough to fit MAC pigments. Overall, I love these! I was able to fit almost everything. I plan on getting another one later on, when I have enough to fill one up with. I forgot how much shipping to Texas was.. I want to say the whole order came out to around $35. You can check them out here. [Note: Some of the Muji drawers were taken on different days. I re-arranged some things here & there]

WnW Party Of Five Glitters • LA Colors Jewel Tone • LA Colors Sea Siren • LA Colors Intimate

I love all of these. In the pictures above, I'm wearing Intimate on my nails. It's a pretty nude with a pretty pinkish sheen. In my last post, I was wearing Sinful Colors Midnight Blue with Jewel Tone over it. [here] And in a previous post, I used Sea Siren. [here] I've worn the Party of Five with Midnight Blue also but didn't take pictures. It's beautiful though. The only thing that bugged me about it is that it takes me like 10 coats to get enough glitter on there lol. And even though it's "Fast Dry" it dries the same as any other polish. I really love the way it looks afterwards though!

NYX Louisiana • NYX Iconic • NYX Castle

Iconic is beautiful! I also got B52 but it was so similar to Iconic, I gave it to my mom. She loves it too lol. Lousiana is a really pretty red pink. & Castle is unlike any lipsticks I have. I think it's pretty fitting for the season. Now, we'll see if I actually wear it out. lol All the NYX stuff is from beautyjoint, by the way.

Sinful Colors Lipglosses • Pucker Up • Wink • Goddess • Fushia

That's actually how they spelled Fuchsia. Anyway! I saw these at Walgreens one day & nearly spazzed out. I had only seen SC l/g online. Our small town is very much deprived of awesome things.. We get everything mad late. So when I saw these, I was super excited lol. My favorite has to be Wink. Just because of the milky baby pink color. It's so pretty. My only problem with these is that they're a bit on the sticky side. I'm surprised that it hasn't stopped me at all from wearing them quite often though. I think I'm just a sucker for Sinful Colors & I love the packaging. It's simple but nice. I'm definitely getting more of these... for collection purposes.

 NYX Lipgloss: Natural • Doll Pink | NYX Loose Pigments: Jade • Turquoise

 I wanted a nude lipgloss & thought Natural would do but it's a bit too dark for that. It looks really pretty over most colors but especially colors like Tea Rose & Iconic. Doll Pink is just as beautiful as I dreamt. It's such a pretty & opaque gloss. A must have for the all-things-pink lover! I randomly got these loose pigments. Man these things are tiny! lol Like literally the size of my thumb. I never wear green e/s but I got Jade to encourage myself to try it more. I have yet to touch the stuff lol.

Hannah Multicolored Dangle Earrings • Cubic Zirconia Studs

These are another favorite buy. I got both of these for $12. Yayy! lol I got these from Bealls. I feel like I'm constantly buying faux diamond studs. I always lose the little back parts & end up losing my studs. My ears are pierced twice on each ear & I like to wear them on the top piercing with whatever on the bottom piercing. Siggghhh. I hope these stick around longer than the last ones.

Ebay Lashes

I recently restocked on these babies. The 60 pairs usually last me about 8-9 months. I end up re-using a lot of them because the quality is pretty decent. The only bad thing, is that you always end up getting some that are all folded up lol. But you get what you pay for, I guess. These come out to around $10 for all six boxes.

MAC Turquoise Glitter

I found this at good ol CCO! I want to say it was around $10-11. Which is pretty good! The glitter is gorgeous & I've already played around with it & plan to use it in a post really soon. I'm having trouble trying to capture it well on camera though. By itself, I can get the shot fine. But when it's on my eyes, you can't even see it in my pictures. Idk why but it's so pretty. I miss these jars btw.

MAC Viva Glam Gaga • MAC Of Royalty

Finallyyy! I got the first Gaga & it's gorgeous. It's a Lustre which is not my favorite finish in the world, I actually steer very clear of them lol.. but the color is still very pretty. I also found Of Royalty which is my favorite, between the two. It's also a very pretty milky pink like the Wink lipgloss. 

Nicki Pumps from Fancy Steps

And last but certainly not least, are these gorgeous, leopard, spiky, heels from CurvesAheadMakeup's awesome online shoe boutique called Fancy Steps. I didn't actually buy these shoes, my man got them for me lol. Isn't he wonderful? :3 Ever since the website was launched, they caught my eye. I eyeballed them for a good 5 mins & even bookmarked the page lol. They are so gorgeous. I saw that they also had them available in black & in a light cream color. I had to stop myself & tell myself to slow down. "One pair at a time." We got them in the last days of October when they were having their free shipping promotion. Eeep! There's that free shipping again. lol Here's the direct link but it looks like the leopard ones are sold out. I've wanted shoes with spikes on the ends for a long time & these are similar & even add a different flare to it. The whole shoe is like a velvety material. Even, the black trim on the platform part of the shoe is velvety. The spikes are super cute & super shiny. They're just such a dream. I love them. & I think it's pretty obvious that my Munekiz loves them too.


Thanks so much for stopping by

ES Faux Lashes!

Ahhhh Eyelashes! I was never really into false lashes 'til I bought some on ebay once & now I can't go a day without wearing them! Lol It's a great way to enhance the eyes. Recently,  KK Center HK  was kind enough to send me their  ES A500  pack of eyelashes. I got them yesterday & I'm so impressed with the quality & just the sheer awesomeness. I wanted to show ya'll really quickly what they look like.

[ES A500] • ES Brand Ten Pairs Of Different Styles

This pack is pretty cool because it has different styles. I'm a big fan of using short criss cross lashes for a more subtle & natural look. The thicker lashes (1st ones) & the spiky lashes (3rd ones down) are more dramatic & for bolder looks. Which is what Momma likes. c: I used the very first ones at the top & wore them like this. Compared to the lashes I've been using, the ES lashes are incredibly soft. The strip is flexible & really easy to place & adjust & I loveddd the packaging. They were in perfect condition & secure when I got them. & That's super important to me because when I've ordered lashes from other places, more often than not they don't come adhered  to plastic like these. & When they're not secure, they tend to fall during shipping or get bent the wrong way like this...

Unforgivable! lol

[ES A500] • ES Brand: Different Styles

Here are some before & after pictures from different angles. Fun Fact; I was holding an envelope to my face in the last pics so ya'll could see the length better. Lol How sad.. my natural lashes are so short. :c

Ebay Finds+Brown Sugar

60 Pairs of Eyelashes+Lid Glue ($8.79) including shipping

Ahhh! I'm so excited I finally got these! I've been waiting for these since the beginning of last month. I tried the very thin ones.. they were numbered 001. I actually got the hang of it this time. I use to get glue all over my lid & the lashes would still fall off lol It's 8pm now & I've had them on since around 2pm & they still feel alright. I'm just kind of dreading taking them off in a bit. Idk how bad that'll be. lol

 

Yeah, I thought this was lash glue but thanks to Marcy, I now know it's eyelid glue? Omylanta, I'm so lucky I didn't mess up my eyes putting this on my lash line lol. Here's the video she showed me. My eyes & I thank you, Marcy!! Lol Now one thing I wasn't a fan of was the width of the lashes. I just wish the strip was a tad bit longer. I wish it covered my lid a little more. I'll be using them in future FOTD's & I'll tell you exactly how I mean. Overall veryyy happy with this though.

 

Nail Art Rhinestone 6 Wheels Kit  ($4.39) including shipping

Adorable! Love everything in it. The price is crazy! I can't believe this is for under five dollars. There are so many little things to choose from; stars, lime slices, beads, butterflies, flowers, & of course.. rhinestones. <3

FOTD: Golden Sugar.

LA Colors Palettes in Wildflowers & Darling • LA Colors Baked Quad in Praline 

A quick golden eye 'cause I really wanted to try the Brown Sugar gloss I found in my bag. Haa.

 Avon Color Glazewear in Brown Sugar

I found this gloss & loved the application. It's not your ordinary gloss. It feels like a really moisturizing lipstick. I don't remember ever wearing/swatching this but I found it hiding in my makeup bag & initially I thought it was going to be like a sheer gloss that you wear over a lipstick. But this really has a lot of color & is quite opaque. I love that it's not sticky at all, feels just like a lipstick.

NOTD: Minty St. Patties!

Sinful Colors in Mint Apple

Lawl don't laugh! I was bored & wanted to trying something St. Patrick's-ish. Also.. I was looking for an excuse to use my nail rhinestones. It's not amazing but I wanted to document my first experience with the nail  thingys. (:
