Drugstore Haul (plus Sephora)

I'm going to keep this short because you know reviews are coming...

At Sephora I picked up one of the new Tarte Amazonian shimmer blushes. This one is called "Glisten".

At Walgreens I got another Rimmel Glam'Eyes HD Palette in 2 English Oak. I'll either keep it as a backup or for a giveaway. I also got a Wet n' Wild lipgloss in a cherry flavor. There was also a green lipbalm in watermelon but it was green and I didn't know whether it was sheer or pigmented. The cherry has a decent bit of pigment so I'm glad I didn't get the watermelon. It has a very strong cherry scent and slides easily across my lips. More testing necessary. I needed something after finding all the new displays raided. They had a gorgeous Revlon nail display and a L'Oreal nail and L'Oreal magic lumi display but they were out of Revlon Whimsical, the L'Oreal magic lumi primer, most of the L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows, and the more interesting L'Oreal nail polishes.


At CVS, I picked up 2 L'Oreal lipsticks and a white Milani nail polish because it was on sale. I was going to also get a limited edition Project Runway lipstick but I took it off after the order somehow came to around $40. It turns out she had rung me up for the same items multiple times. DO remember to do a mental calculation and DON'T swipe your card until you're sure the total makes sense. And yes, that's a sticker for $11.29 on that lipstick. NYC prices are ridiculous. Thank goodness it was BOGO1/2 off L'Oreal lip. I'm going to test these out in hopes that they'll work out better than the higher end nude lipstick shades I had to return to Sephora.


At Duane Reade, I picked up 2 Sinful Colors nail polishes. I had been hoping to also find the shimmery red I'd seen on a nail polish blog but I was lucky to find anything at all. There's a "new" Duane Reade near me but they only seem to have old stock. They're clearing out now and there are a ton of 50% off stickers on different items. All I really want is for them to finally get Essie "As Gold As It Gets" so I can add it to my tally for the Essie Rewards Club. How am I ever going to get to 8 polishes if they never have anything in stock?

I think the names are adorable. And they kind of go together, don't you think?
