I am ecstatic about this haul. Not only because I got some great products, but because I saved $22 thanks to ExtraBucks and a 20% coupon CVS sent me. By the way prepare to see a slight change in my vocabulary. I am going to try to avoid using the word "very" from now on. Don't even ask me why. But back to the beauty
Milani is a brand that I am fairly new too, but I am already in love with. I want to expand my collection so considering I had some coupons, it seemed like the opportune time.
The first two products I grabbed are new shades of nail polish: Power Periwinkle and Sugar Rush. I adore the look of periwinkle and extra sparkle is always a good thing.
Of course I had to get a couple of lipsticks, too. I picked up Ruby Valentine (it seemed appropriate considering the big day is coming up) and Sugar Glaze. I'm not 100% certain on this, but Sugar Glaze seems like a potential dupe for Lancome's It Girl. And Ruby Valentine is such a stunning red, I could not resist it. Sugar Glaze has a lovely golden sheen that the picture doesn't capture well.
I am wanting to try bronzers. I have never been a fan, but they are so well loved that I am going to try them again. I received some suggestions on Instagram, and I plan to those, too. But for now I got something lighter and more my speed: Milani's Illuminating Face Powder in Hermosa Rose. Not a bronzer per say, but close enough for me that I am a little scared of it. My mom actually picked this out and she has amazing instincts for just about anything. So I went with it.
One of the products I am most excited about is the new lipliner in transparent. Urban Decay Ozone dupe anyone? I liked Milani's Power Lip Gloss Stain enough to pick up a second shade, Mango Tango. Sounds like a fun color, right? And last but not least is the Easy Brow pencil in Natural Taupe.
As always, stay tuned for the reviews and swatches =) I will be posting a cool giveaway soon, too.
