Products I used:
Orly Top2 Bottom base coat
China Glaze Re-fresh Mint
Sally Hansen Triple Shine Scale up
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat
I hard a lot about Re-fresh mint that there had different formula's in which there is a blue or green shades. I found the green formula at sally beauty on sale and thought I would give it a try. I really like the formula on this polish. But you know me I had to add some glitter so I used Scale up on top which made it more green because it had a green jelly base which I was not thinking it would make it more green but that's ok. I really love how this mani came out. I might have to try it with a different glitter or just by itself. I know I will be wearing re-fresh mint again it so pretty.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks manicure for Manicure Mondays.
I have two Walmart hauls to show you. I have some end of summer clothing and some Fall/ Halloween items that I had to pick up.

In this haul I had to pick up some things I need and some end of summer sale items. I was running low on my tealight candles so I decided to pick up the Mainstays unscented Tealights 100 which was $3.97. So it would be like $.04 per tealight which cheaper than paying $1 for 16 which is $.06 per tea light. I also thing mainstay candles burn better. I also picked up some Gold Bond Ultimate Eczema Relief Hand Cream in a 3oz because my eczema is getting bad on my hand because of the hand soap I was using.

I'm really excited to show you what I got from Bath & Body Works and Disney Store. I have been wanting Halloween items from BBW since last year I did not get that many items you know I love Halloween. I had few things I really wanted and my friend posted on ig that they got Halloween items in Aug 27 so the next day I went to store and lets get into what I got.
Youtube video:
So the main item I wanted was the 3-Wick Candle Sleeve GLITTER BATS and I was happy to find the last two in the store. I got the one in the green and one in the purple. They were both $10.50 each but I had a 20% off coupon so they were $8.40 each. I also wanted the Wallflowers Fragrance Plug SPOOKY HOUSE NIGHTLIGHT since I wanted the one last year and was not able to find one. It was $14.50 with 20% off it was $11.60. Also last year I wanted some of the Halloween candles but was only able to find one so I picked up some this time. It was 3 for $12 so I the two scents I liked which was Mini Candle VAMPIRE BLOOD (Blood Red Strawberry, Midnight Blooming Jasmine, Dark Transylvanian Plum) which I got two of them and one of the PURRFECT PUMPKIN (Purrfect Pumpkin, Black Cat's Clove, Ghostly Vanilla, Batty Brown Sugar) which is similar to boo from last year that I loved. The last thing I got was a Signature Collection Travel Size Shower Gel TAHITI ISLAND DREAM which was free because I had a coupon for a free travel item. I'm so happy that I found the items that wanted and was think of getting the regular candles in the two Halloween scents if they will have them in the larger size.
I also went to Disney Store so I thought I put this haul with the BBW because its a small haul. So I went to Disney store to see if they had any Tsum Tsum on sale for $1.99 and I was happily surprised that they a few of the Alice in Wonderland left on sale so I had to get them. So I got the Queen of hearts, Mad Hatter and Alice. I'm so glad that I found last Alice and they had a few of the Mad Hatter. Also I was so happy that I waited and didn't pay full price because I three for about the same price of one Tsum Tsum. I saw that they're have the evil villains collection this week and I'm really temped to pay full price for a few of them you know I love the villains but I need to save money for my Disney trip so we will see.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my hauls.
Are you going to pick up any of the Bath & Body Works Halloween items or Any of the Tsum Tsum evil villains from the Disney Store?
I have another eye look using the Mermaids forever eyeshadow palette. Since fall items has showing up in stores. I have been getting the mood for some fall colors because if did not know I love Halloween and fall. So I decided to a orange/ brown eye look. So this is the result.
NYC City Proof 24hr Base universal
Makeup Revolution Mermaids Forever palette
Kingdom: crease
Starfish: center of lid and bottom lash
Forever: Brow Bone
Ariel: right side lid and bottom lash
Seabed: outer v into crease
Future: inner lid and bottom lash
Klean Color Hardcore liquid eyeliner black
Ardell Natural 120 Demi false lashes

Covergirl Plumpify Blastpro Mascara very Black
For this eye look I used the orange colors for my lid and brown for crease. I really love how this eye look came out. I also finally try out the Ardell 120 demi false lashes that everyone in the beauty world loves and I think I'm hooked too. I really love these lashes they are so pretty and not over dramatic so you can wear them everyday not just for special occasions. I wore them and they felt really nice. They did not bother me to much.
Since I have been meaning to post this haul for a while I decided just to do a haul and review of the item I bought from Ulta.
Ulta Haul Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour
I have been loving my Makeup Revolution Mermaids Forever eyeshadow palette and I had a $3.50 off $15.00 coupon from Ulta I decided to go back and get the Ultra Contour palette that ShanShortcake been recommending. I have been wanting to try a contour palette. So it was $11.50 with the coupon which is a really good price to compare to most contour palettes out there. So lets get into what I thought of the palette so far.
Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour in box
Ultra Contour out of box
Lets talk about the packaging first its nice sleek packaging like the eyeshadow palette and it has a label on the back saying its the ultra contour palette. It also has a nice size mirror if you need to use it and it is a nice side for travel also. I wish they had a label on the side so you tell the diffecne between the others because they all look the same out of the box. I left mine in the box so I see that they are different. Also I wished the had names for each shade in the palette. This not about the palette itself but I wish Ulta had swatching samples like they do for other brands so lets get into the swatches.
Swatches of the Ultra Contour palette:
Top four swatches of the Highlight shades- top is with flash and bottom outside lighting
The top four are the highligting shades and they are very pigments and not to powdery. They have same texture as the eyeshadows which I like. Its like creamy and soft powder. You can't really see the lightest shade because its really close to my skin tone which is nice for setting my under eye concealer which I did in my makeup look below. I really love these highlights. The second to last one is not to bright if you want little high light with a pink glow. If you want a to shine like a diamond you will love the last one which his ShanShortcake favorite and my new love. They are perfect highlights they don't settle in skin they lay nicely on top of your skin to give you a nice glow.
Bottom four swatches of the contour shades and pinky/broze highlight- top is with flash and bottom with outside light
Now lets into the last four powders in this palette which are bronzers. I only own a few bronzers and these are as nice as my Too faced bronzer that is high end and I love. Like the highlighters they lay on top of the skin nicely and blend like a dream. The are three tones of bronzers which is nice because I have light-medium skin tone and some days I want to use light bronzer on days I want light contour. The last powder on the end is a more pinky/bronze highlight that would look nice on darker skin tones but I used as a blush on the look below.
I usually don't post my whole face but want to show you how the contour palette looked like on my face.
Me wearing the contour palette
I used the first top shade as my setting powder for my under eye which worked perfectly. I used the white side as a highlight which I loved. I used the darker bronzer on the bottom of palette which is the third one from the left. I also use the bottom bronzer that has shimmer for my blush which gave me nice pink/bronze glow that I liked. I'm also wearing the Mermaids Forever palette on my eyes and is posted today also click this link to see it.
I really like this contour palette and would recommend it to anyone that wants to try contouring. I'm really liking the items I bought from Makeup Revolution and will be getting more products from them hopeful soon.
Have you tried Makeup Revolution if so which item do you think I should try.

Nail Art Blue iridescent glitter
I really love this color its a purple shimmer which shifts in color because of the shimmer which is a more a fuchsia purple. I really love this color by itself but I had to had more glitter of course. So I had some glitter on my thumb nail and ring finger which was a pretty blue iridescent glitter.
I hope you enjoyed this weeks mani for Manicure Mondays.
I have three little hauls that I wanted to show you from TJ Maxx, Target and Marshalls. I found some things I wanted for awhile and found some things I could not pass up for the price. So lets get into my hauls.
Youtube video of hauls:
This first haul is form TJ Maxx which I found some clearance items I could not pass up. The first thing I found was this palette by Measurable Difference its the Refreshing Radiant palette which was marked down to $5.50. It has three eyeshadows, a blush and highlight which I will try to review soon. The other thing I got was Cool gear 33 fl oz can with handle that was marked down to $3.50. You know I love cool gear cups so I had to get this one for the summer which I have been really liking because it holds a lot.
I only got one thing from Target because I was with my parents and we were there to get a few things for the house but when I saw the Palmer's flip balms that I have been looking for I had to get one so I got the Creamy Coconut and it was $2.99.
