Wet n' Wild Tough Girl Swatches

I picked these up at K-Mart a few days ago and am finally getting my swatches up! So apparently there are two different Soldiers in Charms palettes. One in a green theme and then the black/silver/white that I have. I heard from G over at Nouveau Cheap that Walgreens has the green palette and she also has great swatches of the entire collection including the blue, which I also didn't see at K-Mart.

 This is Soldiers in Charms (The alternate version?) Sorry I had to take the pictures of the palettes sideways, I couldn't get my camera to focus otherwise.

 They are smoshed together...I tried to keep them closer.

 Enlisting For Beauty

 My camera's a little like me...it won't focus! I'm still learning bad photography 101. But I LOVE this palette, nice quality (as usual from wnw). It will make a great nude eye look and I love taupe colors...I'm a little biased I suppose. 

 Zero Dark Flirty

I also have a thing for purples and this fits the bill well! The violet (the top in my swatches, I flipped them) needed a little build up but I think it's worth it. 

*Everything was purchased by myself.

**Unflattering photos also taken by myself

These retail for $2.99 each and depending where you buy comes with a mascara (Mega Protein in the green tube) which is okay if you ask me. It's a "natural" looking mascara, no drama but nice (isn't no drama nice?) The only downer is it's a very wet formula. It will on enhance your lashes a little...my lashes are long(ish) but they go blond about halfway up so it really just gives me what I have it just...helps? Eh lets be honest it's hard to review mascara since every one has different lashes...the only consistent is the wet formula.

Which one's your favorite? Do you have them? Do you know why there's two different Soldiers in Charms? Let me know!

Thanks for reading!

If Today Was A Test Of My Self Control...

Let it be known I have none. But to my defense this was a very, very, VERY premeditated purchase. Seriously. I've been stalking Rite Aid for the Wet n' Wild Pop Art collection. Seriously like two weeks ago (before I accepted that I won't get my hands this collection) I went to Rite Aid three times in one week and the one in the next town over twice. So today I went into K-Mart in hopes of those delectable orange slice gummy candies (that I've oddly been craving) and took a spin around the cosmetic section because I can't be in any store and not end up in the cosmetic section. So I actually kept enough cash in my wallet to buy the collection because I told myself if I see this collection I won't think twice, I'm getting it all. I told you I planned this since I first found out about it. Oh and all Wet n' Wild is buy two get one free...

From left to right: Your 15 Minutes Aren't Up! (I was actually the most excited about this one...it's so cool!)

To Muse and Carouse (Probably the most wearable of the bunch...I like this one a lot too)

Three's A Party (This a cool one too)

 A Regular at the Factory

I'm Seeing Triples

Hard Being the It Girl

These are just really unique, like nothing I have and they will be fun to play with :-)

 Oh. I didn't mention these huh? I was pretty pumped to find these too! These are perfect for everyday wear. These are in the new Army themed collection...there's also a blue pallet but K-Mart didn't have it. 

Soldiers in Charms

Zero Dark Flirty

Enlisting For Beauty

 I was pumped to find these too! These were $1.99 but keep an eye out for a $1 off coupon on the display (a tear pad booklet) to get them for 99 cents!

-Rimmel Metal Rush collection-

Pearly Queen

Gold Save the Queen (You know the names great)

Bronze Princess

And finally the culprit behind this whole haul...I wasn't gonna post this but for comedic relief purposes I thought I should.

I'll swatch the beauty army collection first (since it's just hitting stores) but if you want to see anything else first let me know! :)

Oh and by the way at K-Mart the Wet n' Wild sale didn't come off at the register so watch your receipt...I had to go back and explain to CS that it's on sale. I almost didn't bother because I was told it was probably an old sign (seriously?) then I said it's in the sale circular...surprise surprise it was on the first page he opened :p But I mean come on I'll badger someone over a dollar. I'll tear you a new one for nine ;) And is it just me but are the people that shop at K-Mart generally angrier than the rest of the population? I understand it's too hot and there's two registers open but I waited my turn y'all can stop anytime now with rolling your eyes and loud breaths. Yes girl three people behind me in line with two arms full of clothes, you probably should have gotten a cart. And personal space is another massive issue. At Walmart I never feel like people are breathing down my neck (not that I like Walmart but still) maybe it's how crammed together all the aisles and the candy are and the people are packed in like sardines. I don't know...

Where do you stand? (As long as it's roughly three feet away from me we won't have a problem)

Well thanks for reading!

Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see first, I'll have the beauty army up asap!

CVS and Rite Aid Clearance Haul!

Yes, it's that time of year again! Where all the insane beauty hoarders *none of us are guilty, right? Nah, I plead the fifth.* But the CVS beauty clearance is in full swing with those glorious 50% - 75% off signs and I even found a good amount of 75% off signs at Rite Aid! So before I show you what I found, I should let you know that at your store these products might not be marked, as mine were not. But all of the same beauty products are on clearance from store to store so scan them at the little red scanner/coupon machine just to make sure. There is a master list here (from one of my fav blogs!) So that's what I got! The top picture is CVS and the second is Rite Aid. Let me break down what I got:

CVS:

Milani Lip Flash in Hot Flash and Flash Light- around $2.00 each

Wet N' Wild Eyeshadows singles in Brulee and Glamrock (My camera picked these colors up badly, Glamrock is a stunning purple with silver sparles and brulee is not yellow, it's a very biege highlight color) -.99 cents each

Burt's Bees Lip Gloss in Evening Glow- Not on sale but there was a $1.50 off coupon and it's a new product I had to try. $8.99 (Reg.)

Rite Aid:

Almay intense i-color satin i kit trio for Hazel eyes -$1.94

Revlon Nail Polish in Stunning and Mischievous -$1.34 each

So that is my haul! I will be doing reviews in a timely manner this time *Promise!* so if you would like to get these deals, well long story short don't hesitate! I'll long the long story ASAP. If there's anything you'd like reviewed first let me know!

Thanks for reading guys! Muah!

P.S If you'd like me to see your haul just direct me to it!

Much love,

Ashley

K-Mart Haul?

I never thought I'd say this but K-Mart's where it's at! They had things I wanted and didn't know I wanted! It's not a mega haul but I'm really excited to let you know these things are poping up in K-Mart and a surprise product you may want.
   Here's the mini haul.

From left to right- Khroma Beauty in Khloe's Kardazzle ($12.99), Wet N' Wilds Drinking a Glass of Shine palette from their new holiday collection ($4.99), and Wet N' Wilds Jumbo Juicy lip balm in Candy Apple from their holiday collection as well ($2.99.

As you can see there is one wild side and one natural looking side. I wasn't thinking of possible repeats in the palette at the time but when I got home (okay I only paid attention to the wild side) I thought maybe their three shadow palette in "Walking On Eggshells" was the SAME thing. But I'm so happy to tell you it's not, they do look similar but they are NOT the same. Once again this is the "Drinking a Glass of Shine" palette which retails for $4.99

Now on to this compact of goodness! I will be doing swatches and a full review in a day or two so stick around for that! So, I've never heard of the Kardashians coming out with a makeup line but I'm happy they did! I found these on the jewelry counter, which in my store is right next to the makeup sections. All I saw at the display was the Khloe and Kim palettes but I was in such a hurry (my lovely brother was rushing me) I might have missed Kourtneys. As you can see Khloes Kardazzle features beautiful browns. Kims Kompact (get it?) featured traditional smokey eye/metallic shades. These lovely little things retail at $12.99

Sorry for this picture being worse that the others, I probably should have taken the lid off to avoid the glare and maybe some blur, but you get the jist of what it looks like, right? I love jumbo lip balms and this is just awesome. The actual balm is green and red (So festive!) and it leaves a slight red tint when swatched, but with your lip color you might not even get the tint. The smell I adore, as it is candy apple. They also make gingerbread, candy cane, and vanilla. These retail at $2.99 *Do you see my Halloween nails?! It was Jack from the Nightmare Before Christmas but the smile started rubbing off, still cute!

That brings us to the end of my haul but you can expect swatches and reviews on these products super soon! Oh, and if you are a Shop Your Way rewards member you might have gotten $10 worth of FREE points to use towards your purchase! I was surprised but my cashier said everyone got one but I missed what she said about why we got them. So I would certainly check that out. Another thing, my K-Mart also had an end cap display of the Fergie Wet N' Wild get the look type things which retail for $7.99. If I didn't think I spent enough today I would have picked one up! But there is always next time. ;)

Thanks for reading! Much love,

Ashley
