NOTD: mint sorbet

Sally Hansen is my favorite drugstore nail polish brand because they're affordable, very pigmented, and have a wide variety of colors. Not only do they have their regulars, but they have a bunch of limited edition colors that seem to come out every time I walk into Walgreens and get lucky. I'm not aware of when their limited edition colors come out, but if I did I probably would be on to it... but I must resist the temptation to splurge.

I also love the nail polishes that are available at Forever 21. I do believe they're originally L.A. colors, just repackaged for sale at Forever 21. After all, the polishes that first appeared at the store actually had the original L.A. colors brand name on it. Lately, they've been coming out with more and more colors, and have recently come out with some scented ones that I have yet to try out. However, I haven't seen them locally at any of my Forever 21s; I haven't seen any nail polishes for the longest while now. I was able to buy them online. :)

I used Sally Hansen's limited edition nail polish in mint sorbet and coated my middle fingers with a sheer  green flake/glitter type color on my ring fingers. A lot of people complimented me on this due mainly because they liked the color, and many of them were shocked when they found out it was a drugstore product. :) I love getting great looks for less.

Haul: Nov. 5 - clothing, accessories, and makeup and hair stuff

I've decided to start a new segment on my blog about my purchases for the week, of course items that are beauty-related. I haven't bought clothes in a while, but since the weather's starting to become chilly, I decided that it was time for new additions in my closet because I lack a lot of long-sleeved wear. 

(I'll probably number the items in future posts).

From a Craigslist post, I got a CHI straightener, finally. Now I don't have to damage my hair as much when I do curl it. I've been curling my hair with a cheap $20 straightener or my lovely Conair curlers.

From an online purchase I bought Skindinavia's no more shine spray to set my foundation. I just got it yesterday so I'll need a little time to further my opinion on it. Also included was a free sample-sized bottle of make up setting spray.

From Forever 21, I got a striped cardigan, and two pencil skirts. As well as two pairs of the same earrings just in different colors. I tend to do that when it comes to earrings that I absolutely adore and are absolutely affordable. Actually, I've got 5 more pairs of earrings that I had disoriented from its packaging and scattered all around my room.

From Target I bought the Herbal Essences tousle me softly hair cream. Hair products usually don't give me good results and it seems like all drugstore hair products are mediocre and do the same thing for the most part. I'm going to use this cream before I go to sleep and after I have shampooed hair for extra conditioning and to wake up with a bit tamed, yet messy looking hair. I also bought sponge wedges for foundation application.

And, from Claires I bought a wallet ($4) and accessories for $1 each.
