Dollar Tree Haul

Hey Loves

I've been watching Dollar Tree Hauls for months and been tempted to go to one. I mean everything for a "DOLLAR". Doesn't that just ring a bell in your head to go. It sure does to me. I'm always on a look for great deals and finding inexpensive makeup. From what I know Dollar Tree is basically a store that carries a bunch of "overstock" items from other stores (e.g. Walmart, Rite Aid, CVS). They can't sell them anymore because it's overstock or discontinued (think of it as a CCO). Every time I watch Dollar Tree hauls, after I watch a couple I wanna drive to the Dollar Tree store and see what they have. I mean people have found some really great brand makeup for only $1. I was seriously blown away. So I googled to find one in my area, I found out there was at least 6 in my area.

I went to two different Dollar Tree's that were just 10-15 minutes away from where I live. The first one I went to didn't have much stuff but I did find a few makeup. The second one I went to looked like they just got in a new shipment. They were stocked up. It was like a little kid in a candy store, I was excited maybe a bit overwhelmed of all the makeup they had.

It's now my favorite place to shop, not just for makeup but for other random things (birthday cards, candles, birthday gifts, etc). I definitely recommend anyone who is on budget check out your Dollar Tree, you'll be amazed at what you may find. And go atleast 3 times a week cause they get new shipment almost daily. With that being said here is what I picked up (keep in mind everything was $1).

SHOPPING CONFESSIONS: MAC To The Beach Collection Haul


Hey Loves
So finally posting up something on my blog. I know, I know. I've been MIA on here. I really need to start posting more. Well any ways here is what I bought from the MAC To The Beach Collection. After seeing this collection in person I wasn't expecting to get so little from this collection (I usually go all out on LE special packaging). But I only got a few things. A lot were either already permanent or I already have it in my collection.

Marine Life High Light Powder $26
The most over hyped product. Sold out QUICK!! As you probably all know the gold over spray disappears after two uses. One part of the shade is a orangey-coral and the other a light baby pink. Perfect for the summer. Gives a nice fresh healthy glow to the skin.




Get Away Bronze Powder Blush $18.50
It's a lightened, metallic bronze with a frost sheen. Beautiful blush that gives a nice tanned glow.




Weekend Creme Bronzer $25
It's a orange-tinged suntan brown with subtle copper shimmer. Love this product. Goes from a cream to powder finish.




Sun Rush Lustre Drop $18.50
It's a golden peach liquid highlighter. So lovely on the skin, seriously this stuff is amazing. Brings out such a nice goddess/glow to the face.

Lazy Day (Lustre) Lipstick $14
It's a milky cool toned pink.


Splashing Lipglass $14
It's a mid-tone blue pink with soft gold pearl.
