Haul: Aveeno, WnW and Maybelline

Yesterday I visited Costco to stock up on a few stuff. Since I recived my member coupon booklet a while back and I remember seeing a coupon for the Aveeno Positivly Radian moistureizer. The original price was about $20 USD and the coupon was $4 USD off which brings it down to $16 USD. If I remember right the average price of one is about $16 USD so it was like a BOGOfree :) yay me!

I found out that Rite Aid is having a 40% off sale on Wet n Wild from one of the best bloggers I know here, Nouveau Cheap. On one of her posts she explains that you can get the new WnW MegaShield Lip Color for only .79cents!! You can find that post HERE! I picked up three and they cost me last then the price of one!!! Big savings there!!! I picked up Pink Champagne, Birthday Suit and It's A Girl.

Lastly I went to Target. Beside buying a few other stuff I also picked up Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in Audacious Asphalt. I have been hearing so many good reviews about this stuff so I had to get my hands on it. I only bought one because I don't splurge as I used to and i'd reather wait for a really good sale if I do end up liking it. This way money is not wasted :) I've been into gun metal smokey looks so Audacious Asphalt stood out the most to me. Its nice and creamy and very oapue. At Target it cost me about $7 USD but since I had a Target gift card I recived from Christmas I didn't spend anything :)

In total I only spent just under $20 USD of my own money on beauty goodies. Yay!!

Review: Joico Smooth Cure Leave-in Rescue Treatment

I wrote about this product or atleast the general idea of the Smooth Cure system. You can see that post HERE.

Salon/profressional products are mostly bought through salon or professionals. But don't worry that dosnt mean its almost impossible to get your hands on them. Most independent beauty stores carry pro products but be careful! Each store varies in price and what products are being sold. You can also buy some products at CVS or Target but they can be very expensive. So do your research!! Since is do get discounts on all pro products I do not know the actual retail price (since it varies from store to store) but I can do a guess-tamate from what I've seen.

The Smoot Cure Leave-in Rescue Treatment claims that your hair will restore moisture, be less frizzy and help in restoring hairs health. This product has keratin which is basically one of the main building block of hair. The less keratin you hair has the more likey it will break. Too much keratin in your hair will cause unwanted build up in your scalp area. You really have to figure out how much your hair needs and figure out where it needs it the most. Like your ends where it tends to have most breakage.

For me in general this product was... ok. Not the greatest but it isn't so bad as well. My hair is extreamly chemically treated due to all to bleaching and coloring I do. So I need something with a high moisture rating as well as keratin. I felt this product didn't have enought for my type of hair. It may work A LOT better on someone who has virgin to not so chemically treated hair and nothing more. Don't get me wrong my hair did feel softer but at the sametime it also felt like it needed more. It felt like my hair was still thirsty.. I guess that's how you put it.

On the plus side this product did smell wonderful. It smelled like a between mixture of something fruity and something fresh. I really and not good at explaining scent but ehhh I try xp

All in all this product didn't work for me but it may work well for others.

eBay 28pc Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

I finally recived my 28pc neutral e/s palette today!! I bought this off of eBay for just under $7 USD with free shipping. I also bought a 28pc blush palette for the same price which you can find HERE. You can also find the link to my seller on that page as well.

The color pay off is amazing and not at all chalky. Like I said before this palette, I think, can be comparable to the Coastal Scents, BHcosmetics and other major brands. I might be buying another one to use in my makeup kit.
