Abby Does Life: Drugstore Beauty Haul!

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful week and everything's going your way. Since we're on the topic of beauty today, I'd like to take the opportunity to let you all know that I'm hoping to turn this blog more into a fashion and beauty blog. Of course, I will still be posting other things, but I'd really love to gear it more towards fashion and beauty. And of course, I'm a broke teenager, so all this stuff is going to be extremely affordable. Because I need affordable.

On with the haul!

So lately I have been purchasing quite a bit of beauty products to try and go out of my comfort zone. In attempt to do that, I may have gone a tad bit over board (and may or may not have had to purchase a bigger makeup bag...)

Here's some of the things I got!

First is the NYC Foudation (in the lightest shade possible because I'm like Caspar the ghost), which was (I think) $4. This is just my normal foundation, although I think I'm going to look for something with a pump next time just for easier application.

NYC Smooth Skin Liquid Makeup in 676 Ivory, $4

This is the e.l.f. face powder, again in the lightest colour they had. It's a small pallet, so I will have to purchase more soon probably, however it was only $1, so I think it made up for it.

e.l.f. Pressed Facial Powder, #1305 Ivory, $1

And here is the new concealer I bought, which is, once again, in the lightest shade possible. This was only $1.72, however, once again it is quite a short stick and I go through a lot of concealer, so I'm not sure whether or not I'll be purchasing this again, I may just pay more for a better kind next time.

NYC Coverstick With Vitamin E, 781 Light, $1.72

Next is the 2 in 1 NYC lipstick which I LOVE. I'm not very comfortable with lipsticks and this one (despite looking pretty bright) is not nearly as bold as some others. This is me going out of my comfort zone, and maybe one day I'll be able to rock bright red. This was $3.

NYC City Duel 2 in 1 Lip Color in Rock a fella, $3

I bought this before New Years because I wanted some new eyeshadow and I wanted something sparkly. I tend to drift more toward gold, bronze, and brown colours for eye shadows because I think it looks better on me. They were having a buy one get one half off sale, and I think I paid around $7.

Icing eyeshadow eye shimmer, $7

Next is mascara. I'm actually in love with this mascara, it separates my eyelashes so well. I think I paid $8 for this.

Maybelline New York the Colossal Volum' Express in K500 $8

Then there's this bronzer which absolutely gorgeous. It's quite shimmery in the pallet so I was a bit nervous it would make me look too shiny, but it doesn't at all. The bottom left colour is also really great for highlighting, I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Plus, the pallet is quite large so I'll be using it for a while. I believe I paid 3 or 4 dollars for this.

e.l.f. Golden Bronzer #3078, $4

Unfortunately (for you all anyways), this soap was handmade by a family friend, so I don't think you'll be able to purchase it. However, it smells AMAZING and if I could send everyone some I would because it's so great. I got it as a Christmas present, but I think it was 5 or 7 dollars.

Meadow Sweet Blossoms Patti's Peppermint All Natural Soap (good for shaving)

Ooh is that your bedroom Abby? Yes, yes it is. And that is liquid liner that I'm holding. This is the "half off" purchase I got from Icing. It was originally $4, but I only paid $2. I love this liner, it's great quality and doesn't slide around on my face and dries really quickly so I don't have to worry about blinking and messing it up after applying. It's also really easy to do a wing, even I'm able to do it (I suck at wings normally).

Icing Forever Liquid Little Black Liner, liquid liner, $4 ($2 with half off sale)

Next is my nail polish collection! Which all but one has been acquired since Christmas. I normally don't paint my nails ever. But I'm loving the nail polishes I have got. The Forever 21 set was a Christmas present from my grandparents, so I couldn't tell you how much it cost. The NYC sparkly nail polish was $0.99 and the NYC teal color was $0.94, and the Sinful Colors red nail polish was $1.99
