Mini "Drugstore Haul"

So last night I went to Walmart with my parents. Now, I know Walmart is not the swankiest of places, but there are a lot of really good products that are super affordable there. As a struggling student, that sounds good to me. Lol I got some new make up and new hair products that I'm super excited about so I thought I'd make a post about them all. :)

• Milani Color Statement in 01 Sweet Nectar - So this is a really bright orange color and it goes on really well, but I think it's a little too orange for me. I didn't think it would come out so opaque. It's pretty good quality and it smells nice, but the color just is a little too much for me, but I would consider buying a different color because the quality of the lipstick is pretty good for the price.
• Maybelline Color Whisper in Orange Attitude 40 - I really love this color, it's a little bit sheer on my lips because my lips are kind of dark, but it definitely adds just the right touch of color. It's a bit greasy for my liking, but overall a good lip product that I can definitely see myself reaching for often. :)
• Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in 109 - This is by far my favorite lipstick of the three! It's amazing quality and sooo affordable! It's a pale orange color and the pigmentation is so good and it's more of a matte finish, but it's not drying which I love. Plus it smells good. :) I will definitely be buying more from this line!
• Maybelline Fit Me Blush in Deep Coral - So this looked like a gorgeous dark, coral color in the packaging, but when I put in on my cheeks, it wasn't very pigmented at all. After applying it 2 or 3 more times, it did show up a pretty pink, natural flushed color, I was just a bit disappointed that it wasn't as pigmented as I'd hoped. Maybe it's because I have slightly tanned skin, but honestly if it's a good quality blush, it shouldn't matter that much. Hopefully it'll grow on me.
• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Sun Kissed - This nail polish is a bright orange (I know, clearly Zoe's love for orange is growing on me lol) and it goes on quite opaque and beautifully. We'll see how long it lasts without chipping. 
• L'Oreal Power Moisture Hydrating Conditioner - My hair's been a bit dry these days so I bought this in hopes it would help and I used this last night and just from that one use, I can already tell a difference! I'm looking forward to using this until it runs out as it seems to work quite well. :)

I re-purchased my Maybelline BB Cream and St. Ives Apricot Scrub because I love both of them so much and I ran out of them a few days ago and the other products, I have yet to try. I'm very excited to try them out though, especially the sea salt spray. :) If I end up developing a strong love for any of the above items that I haven't talked about yet, I will definitely write a little bit about whichever ones they are. :)

My Most Worn Tag by Zoella :)

I thought this was a cool idea when I saw Zoe's post from ages ago the other day and since she said anyone that would like to take part could, I thought I'd go for it. :)

Nail Polish

I was given this Milani Nail Lacquer in Garnet Gems by my sister a while ago and it's been my favorite thing to have on my nails, no matter what season it is. :) I obviously have plenty of other nail polishes that I love, but this is definitely my go to. And the green bottle on the right is Sally Hansen Triple Strong Advanced Gel Nail Fortifier and it is literally the best base and top coat! As a base, it helps any polish last longer and as a top, it makes my nails so shiny with nail polish or not! 

Lipstick

 My Estee Lauder in Barely Nude cream lipstick is perfect for me. :) It has a very cream consistency and isn't overly glossy. The best part of this lipstick is that because I have fairly dark skin, regular nudes are too light for me, but this nude matches my skin tone perfectly.

Perfume

 I'm very, very picky about perfumes so when I found the Michael Kors "Very Hollywood" a few years ago, I was so excited! Unfortunately, by the time I had gotten around to purchasing a new bottle, I couldn't find it anywhere! This bottle, however, is a similar scent and it is Michael Kors "Eau de Parfum Spray" and it does the job I think. It's a very fresh, floral scent, but is by no means overpowering (unless you spray on the entire bottle lol). As much as I love this, I would quite like to find "Very Hollywood" again now that I think about it.

Make Up

Again, I was given this Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfecter by my sister and I'm obsessed! It's my perfect color and it's just enough coverage, as I don't like to wear foundation very much. What I really love is that it doesn't dry out my dry spots, in fact it keeps them moisturized, and it does't make my oily spots worse. 

I know, this is a super cheep-y product, but hey, isn't that kind of a plus? :) My Elf Translucent Matifying Powder is a godsend, not even joking. In combination with my BB cream, it makes me perfectly matte, but still healthy looking. I know some people might prefer a dewier finish, but besides my few dry spots, I'm already oily so matte products are preferred for me. 

Rings

So I just bought this ring with Dalton (who helped me pay for it, thanks Dalt :)) about two weeks ago, but it's already a part of me. Lol It has barely left my hand! We were at a place called The Lab just shopping around for a dress for me and there was an adorable little cart/boutique thing that had so many amazing hand-made pieces that I had to come away with something! I absolutely love this ring because it's different than most rings I've seen in say H&M or Forever 21 and the artist who made it takes old, vintage broaches and turns them into rings! Love it! And it looks amazing when sunlight hits it. :)

This ring is from Forever 21 and originally it had white roses on it. I actually had two more (which both had the roses broken off as well), but one of them was lost a long time ago and the other I left with a very dear friend of mine. I've pretty much always worn it everyday (oddly, more so after the roses broke off), but ever since I left the other with my friend, I just can't seem to leave the house without mine. I suppose it just makes me feel a bit closer to him, wherever he is. I miss you loads Casey. <3

 Jacket

Once again, I bought this with Dalton about two weeks ago and I'm obsessed! I wear it literally whenever I can. Lol I've been wanting a camo jacket ever since last summer and just haven't been able to afford one or find one that fits properly and in Crossroads, I found this jacket in the men's section! I promise, on me it doesn't look like a men's jacket (I got Dalton's seal of approval! Lol)! It's by a company called The Berrics and I've never heard of them before, but I'm so glad I have now. :)

Dress

And last, but not least, the dress from Urban Outfitters that Dalton bought me at the Lab. :) I actually have a picture up of me wearing it in my OOTD that I posted a few days ago. Just like the two other items from The Lab, I've only had this for two weeks, but I absolutely love it! I've wanted a maxi dress for ages and this one is such good quality! So soft and so light-weight and flowy! And the best part, it was on sale for $30! Quite the bargain! I'm sure Dalton's wallet was happy that he didn't have to splash out too, too much. Lol

So there are my most worn items or things that are pretty much just now a staple of who I am. :)
