Quick Tip: As you’ll notice above, I used two foundations for this look. Any time you buy a foundation that doesn’t match your skin tone, don’t toss it! Just mix it with one that’s a shade lighter or darker and make your own custom shade!

Some things I’ve picked up recently!

Items: New York Color 5-Way Concealer Wheel, Wet n’ Wild Mega Slicks Lip Gloss in rose gold, strawberry ice, red sensation, Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in punchy, Beauty Rush Creme Shadows (2) in glampagne, Physician’s Formula Baked Eyeshadow in baked butter, New York Color Blushable Creme Stick in big apple blush, L’oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara in black, Beauty Rush Mascara in blacktastic, Beauty Rush Chubby Eye Stick in glampagne, Joe Fresh Sheer Lip Crayons in apple & pink, Ecotools Retractable Kabuki Brush, Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks in dare, goddess, stylish, Wet n’ Wild Mega Liners in turquoise & blue.

This was not bought all at one time, this accumulated over the past month or so… and most of it was on sale!

Ok seriously, I got this mascara for $2.99.  That’s amazing! What’s really amazing is how great this mascara is…

Promise: “A ‘must have’ everyday beauty essential. Allows for the building of unlimited coats of mascara on the lashes, whilst maintaining perfect lash separation and definition, without clumping or sticking. Get ready for an eye opening experience!”

Availability: Everywhere – drugstore product!

Packaging: Pretty plain. But I think it suits the whole “basic mascara” thing it has going on, so I like it!

Formula: This is a really great defining mascara, and with a few coats you can build a nice amount of volume too.  The formula itself is a little watery, making application quicker than thicker mascaras you really have to work with.  Usually mascaras with a more watery consistency tend to clump after a few coats – but this one doesn’t!

Price: Normally less than $5!!  Craziness!

This is just a really nice product at a great price, I really can’t say it better than Rimmel already has in their claim. For being so great and so cheap, I’m giving Rimmel Extra Super Lash Mascara 5/5 stars!

This collective haul will be divided into four parts and will go over what I picked up recently or received as gifts. I want everyone to keep in mind that all of this wasn’t bought at one time… for instance, all the elf products were purchased way before the holidays, and some of these products were bought with gift certificates. So, keeping that in mind, here’s the first of four posts! I will be reviewing certain items that really stand out to me, whether they be good or bad.
