From left to right Milani Lip Gloss in Sugar Sugar, Urban Decay XXX Shine Cooling Lip Gloss in Love Junkie, Sinful Colors Lip Gloss in Berry Charmed, MAC's Port Red Lipstick

Now on to the camera whoring...

Sinful Colors Berry Charmed.  This is a serious burgundy, very pretty. 

Milani Lip Gloss in Sugar Sugar.  This is a really pretty shimmery brown

 

Urban Decay XXX Shine Cooling Lip Gloss in Love Junkie.  This looks a lot darker in the tube but it's a very actually very light in real life.  Since this is a "cooling lip gloss"  It tingles when you apply it and can feel like a thousand tiny pins stabbing your lips.  Well...that's what it felt like to me...

 

MAC's Port Red Lipstick 

 

How about a combo of Port Red and Berry Charmed.  I really like this combo together. 

Haulin....

So I did a little shopping at my local beauty supply store I picked up some NYX stuff.

3 NYX Palettes - top is Perpetual; the right is SHANGRi-LA and on the left is Tropical/Yellow/ Lime Green

Two polishes - the yellow is Roasted and the Green is Lime. Roasted is really sheer and pretty on. I did a mani and a pedi with Roasted and how about the the mani chipped the next day. I ended up peeling the whole thing off. Since it was so sheer I did 3 maybe 4 coats. Not sure if that was the problem since I tend to do 3 coats with most of my polishes. The green is opaque, not sure about it's lasting power since I haven't worn it yet.

Lip gloss in African Queen and liner in Fuschia. The gloss is a really pretty pinky purple.

Now for some swatches: row 1 is Tropical/Yellow/Lime Green; row 2 is Perpetual; row 3 is SHANGRi-LA; the top pink is the liner in Fuschia and below that is the African Queen Gloss


I love a deal! I don't pay full price unless I have to. I've found that TJ Maxx is a great place for makeup and other beauty items. Their prices are usually half or sometimes more than half the retail price. Last time I was there they had some Too Faced stuff and Anastasia eyebrow palettes. Of course there wasn't a palette for me since my brows are black so I left empty handed. This trip was good, I picked up some Lancome makeup. The shadows normally retail for $16.50 and the lipstick is $22. TJ Maxx price 7.99 each. You can't beat that!


Left to right: Color Design Shadow in Rose Quartz Sheen ; Color Design Lip stick in Pink Heels Sheen ; Color Design Shadow in Luxe Grey Matte


Swatches from top to bottom: Pink Heels; Luxe Grey Matte; Rose Quartz Sheen

Another thing I love is the clearence section! Those little red/yellow/orange stickers make me so very happy! I picked up some Gap Body body srubs and and both oil for $2 each. The scent is very light and floral perfect for the summer.


I also picked up a organic coffee bean caffeine eye cream by 100% Pure for $7.99. I'll probably do a review after using it for a while.


After all the Ped Egg talk I picked one up. Usually I use those scrub bars you see at the Asian nail places and a callus scraper to get off any dead skin off my feet. After using the Ped Egg I have to say that it is the business!! My feet are really smooth and soft. I am a believer! You can get it at CVS, Rite Aid and probably other drugstores.
