Rite Aid Haul

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I have an old Rite aide haul from before Halloween.

I went to Rite Aide to find the skull lip gloss and of course I found other stuff that I could not leave with out them. All of the Halloween makeup was 50% off. I really lucky find one of the Phantom frights/ skull lip gloss and it was on sale for .99. I also got Entenmann's Apple Crumble pie candle on sale for .99.  I found the limited edition Wet N Wild Color Icon nail polishes in Los Feliz Navidad and Where my ho ho at? which was $2.99 each. I also found a covergirl outlast stay brilliant nail polish in Emerald Blaze on sale for $2.99 which is in the star wars collection that's probably why it was on sale.

I hope you enjoyed my little Rite Aid haul.

Until next time,

Dollar Tree Hauls

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I have a few hauls from dollar tree to show you.

I'm excited to show you things I've been looking for and found the last few weeks.

Since I'm addicted to candles and apple and cinnamon scents I had to pick up some Luminessence apple Cinnamon scented tealight candles. I also found the Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Brush everyone been hauling and could not pass up not getting another one because I love the ones that I have already from Wet n' wild. I also found the Star Candle Company candles in the Valentines area and when I smelled Pink Passion and had to get two lol. It says that its a Vanilla scent but it smells fruity to me. It looks like scent is meant to be chocolate covered strawberries and it kinda smells like strawberries but I have to see when I burn them. I always look at the nail polish to see if they had anything that I don't have and I found Revlon Brilliant Strength 030 Intrigue which is a pretty light blue with shimmer. I don't have anything like it in my collection and had to have. I also found a few E.l.f items that I have been looking for and not been looking for at DT. The first thing I got was E.l.f Nail Polish Remover Pads fresh citrus scent which I was not looking for but been meaning to pick some remover pads for my travel bag. I've tried the L.A colors one but did not like strawberry smell and I'm happy to find the E.l.f ones which are citrus scented and you know I love citrus scents. So I hope these are good. I also found E.l.f Smudge Pot in Brownie Points and Poppin' Party which I've been looking for at DT. I paid full price for Cruisin' Chic and I really like so I'm happy find these two for $1.00. The last thing I picked up is a Tool Bench Hardware door stopper for my room door which I lost the last one I got dt.

After watching Chachacakes haul on youtube and saw that cute st.patty's day owl clings I had to go to DT and get one. I also got another of the Star Candle Company candle in this red hearts box which says vanilla but smells like red hearts candy which I love the scent. I might have to get more lol.

In this haul I found these cute little 3d owl tray that I also saw everyone hauling too and had to have because I love owls. I also saw that they put out some new European American designs perfumes and I found one that I had to have. It was Just Vivacious which is compares to Viva La Juice by Juicy Couture which I love.

The last thing I got at DT was this 2in1 micro usb cable stylus which I've been looking for but bummed that its red. I think I just put some washi tap on it to make it look pretty.

I hope you enjoyed see my DT haul.

Until next time,

Target Haul

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I have a small Target haul to share with you. I went to target to get eyeshadows primer and to look around and I found a few things I wanted. So lets get into what I got right?!

I was looking at the womens clearance clothing and found Mossimo supply co. Charcoal Sweat paints with Owl design was $19.99 now $5.98 and you know I love owls so I could not pass these up. I also got Up & up Skin Refreshing Apricot scrub compared  to st. Ives fresh skin apricot scrub $2.74 with Cartwheel 5% off $2.74 because I've been wanting to try some different face scrubs and I never tried up & ups or St. Ives either. Since I heard good things about this next time from emilynoel83 on youtube I decided to try it myself which is NYC City Proof 24hr Eye Primer 001 Universal $2.82  with Cartwheel 15% off  got it for $2.39. The last thing I got was Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio 334 I'm Getting Sunburned was $2.97 then marked down to $2.52 then ranged up as $2.07 so I could not leave it behind because I love Wet N Wild eyeshadows.  I posted an eye look with the NYC primer and will try to do a review in the future.

I hope you enjoyed my target haul.

Review: Montague Jeunesse Crushed Artic Cloudberries Glacial Clay Mask

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I here to give you my thoughts on this Montague Jeunesse Mask that was requested by a few followers/friends on intagram.

So lets get into what I thought about this mask.

Mask package front/back

The mask claims: Gives your skin the ride of its life & feel the natural rush of cooling Glacial Clay cleanse your pores to the core. Anti-oxidant rick Red Grape & Artic Cloudberry juices from the glacial heights of Scandinavia work their magic to help maintain skins natural barrier. Sexy natural skincare. 

Me wearing the mask

My thoughts:  When opened the package it was easy to unfold to place on my face but it has strong scent of Christmas berries that I not a fan of. It could be the Red grape mixed with the Artic Cloudberry scent. I hate anything grape and it might be the reason why I did not like the smell. It is very cold when you put on your face like it clams of rushing cooling which is good during the summer but I did not read it. I just put it on with out thinking of reading it first and it was not a good idea because it was fall and cold here in Northern CA.

But after taking it off it did made my skin feel soft and clean but the scent stays on your face for awhile which I was not a fan of. Other than the smell I did really liked it. This was my first time trying a this type of clay mask and I might have try another one in a different scent.  I received this as a sample a long time ago but I did see this brand of masks being sold at Walmart. 

I hope you enjoyed my first review of a mask on my blog.

If you liked this please let me know because I been buying masks lately and I might like to review more masks.

Until next time,

Mel

I also got tow of the L.A. Colors baby pop! lip balms in mint and vanilla which were 2 for $1.00.

First Eye Look Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I'm here to show you my first eye look using the Urban Decay Vice 4 palette.

Products I used:

Avon eyelid primer light Beige 

Nyx Jumbo eye pencil milk 

Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette:

Bone- inner corner eyelid 

Grasshopper- eyelid

Bitter-crease

Crowbar-outer v

Framed- brow bone 

Jordana Cateye Liner Black Leather 

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Black

I was so excited to get this palette and wanted to use it for my Christmas eve look so I decided to use a green which was really hard to choose from Grasshopper and C-note because they are both pretty greens. So I decided on Grasshopper because its brighter grass green color. I used Crowbar to darken the crease which made a golden green color that was so pretty. I really love how this eye look came out and everything bended really nicely.

Until next time,

Review: Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette

Hello my MJF followers/friends,

I know everyone has reviews on this Urban Decay Vice 4 palette but I wanted to give you my thoughts on this palette. Since this is my first Urban Decay Vice palette but I do other older palettes in my collection.

box it comes in

cover and back of palette

I love the design on this palette its so pretty and so me. I like this palette cover then the past Vice palettes.

inside and the case it comes in

I really love that it has a large mirror so its great for travel. The case is so pretty and great to protect the palette if you take it with you when you travel. I also like the double ended brush that comes with it.

top with out flash and bottom with flash inside of palette

swatches of top two rows

swatches of two bottom rows

The formula of these eyeshadow come paired to my older palettes are more creamer and less fall out. I also like that they added mattes so you can do a whole eye look with this one palette unlike the palette I have from the past which only have shimmers, satins, and glitter eye shadows. All of the swatches is with out primer so they are nicely pigmented. There a few that are little patchy and not as pigmented as the rest. The ones that are like this is 1985 and Harlot which are lighter than the rest and Low which is patchy because of the glitter but both these can be fixed with a primer and base. There is fall out with the eye shadows with glitter in it which does not bug me because most eye shadows with glitter has fall out.  They are soft so you have to careful when getting the eye shadows on the brush. I love all of the colors in this palette and my favorites are Beat Down, Grasshopper, C-note, Arctic, and Flame.

I really love this palette and can see myself doing many different eye looks with it.

Until next time,

Mel

I've been loving every eye look coming out of the Vice 4 palette and this one does not disappoint either.  I love these eyeshadows and there are more looks that are going to be posted soon. This was my first time trying false lashes.

I probably do a review of the lashes and glue in the future. I also really liked the NYC primer so far which I'm a big fan of E.l.f and wanted try something new for my travel bag.

Dollar Tree Haul

Hello my MJF followers,

I have a Dollar Tree haul for you so let get into what I got this time.

I went back and got more of the Palmers peppermint barks because they are so good. They were .25 each so I cleaned them out what they and left which were 9 of them.  I also got the star candle holders that been wanting for ever but always put them back and today I decided to bring them home where they belong. I was thinking of maybe putting sliver glitter on them to make them even prettier. I was loving the Charming Girl perfume which is compare to Eau so sexy by Victoria's secret that I had to pick another bottle up in case I use my other one up. I also found the three pack of Famous Amos cookies in the Double chocolate chip that thinkpinkdaz tried last week on her Monday munchies on youtube and loved. I figured I would give them a try because I know thinkpinkdaz might be right and I like Famous Amos cookies.

I also picked up more of the My pet's friends grooming products oatmeal enhanced shampoo which I have been using on my dogs and they really like it. In that they have sensitive skin and this does not make them itch which good. If they itch it means that they are allergic to the shampoo which they are not. It also cheap compared to the shampoo I was buying before and this is works as good as that other brand.

Until next time,

After buying the Urban Decay Vice 4 palette they gave me a coupon if you spend $15.00 or more you get $5.00 off so of course I had to use it before it expired. I found some things in the clearance which was Opi Cosmo with a twist for $4.67 and was $9.50. I also got Nyx Radiant finishing powder 01 brighten for $4.49 because I've been wanting to try it.

I also got use my points and got $3.00 off which made the lipstick only .99 which was awesome.

Close up of Dragon's Lair

Lip and hand swatch

I really like this color its a berry brown color which reminds me of the lipstick I use were in high school. It says it matte but not really as you can see its little glossy which I don't minds because it makes my lips feel nice and smooth and moisturized. It has a light scent like vanilla or something. I was scared that I was not going to like it but happy to say I really like it. I would recommend it to anyone that like this color lipsticks or like Maleficent.
