mini haul

i finally received my recent KORRES order from hautelook today, cant wait to give these products a try


 and i recently bought the physician's formula happy booster all over face powder in translucent from CVS.
They had this for 40% off this week and i used the $3.00 manufacturer coupon along with it. To sum it all up, it was a steal. It has a really great finish much like a MAC MSF, it smells like a higher end brand and is super cute.



then i went back later this week to pick up the blush in natural which was also 40% off and with another coupon and it came up to about 5 bucks too.


the blush is smaller than the face powder

Maybelline dream smooth mousse

I bought the maybelline dream smooth mousse a couple of days ago at walgreens, they had it 40% off. This foundation is really as good as YouTubers say it is. The name fits it well as it is so smooth and blends like a dream. It is also very light weight and hard to get it to cake. I apply it with a elf flat top brush which is also a great find. It is a very dense brush for the price of 3 dollars and picks up the foundation well. These two products are really a great for the price, together they were less than 10 bucks. I'm glad that I have a new light weight foundation that I can switch off from my missha bb cream and nars sheer glow as the dream smooth mousse is a better color match for my skin at the moment.

elf zit zapper

I noticed a pimple on the side of my face last night when I was cleansing off my makeup, it wasn't that noticeable because my hair covers that area when it is down. I have been using the IQQU acne serum for a couple months now, but it really doesn't do much for my skin. I don't suffer from acne anymore, but I do get the occasional breakout. I made an order on elf (eyeslipsface) about a month ago when they had free shipping and in that order was the elf zit zapper and I decided to use it last night before I went to sleep. It had a very natural smell to it and a cooling feeling. It is in a rollerball form and the main ingredient is salicylic acid and contains tea tree oil as well. Although it did not zap away my pimple completely, it did however tone it down a lot and it does't have that sore feeling. I didn't think it would zap away zits like magic when I first bought it, but it did do a good job to treat my breakout. For a dollar, I wish there was something like this when I was in high school, my acne like many others back then was a total nightmare!!! The zit zapper is so affordable and effective. I originally ordered 2 of these and gave the other one to my boyfriend. He gets the occasional breakout too and I think he likes the zit zapper too because its so easy to use.
