Hi bumblebees,
Hooray! This is my 500th published post. *obligatory balloons and streamers* (Maybe you'd like to help me celebrate by clicking on one of my amazon affiliate links. I will get a small percentage of the sale of whatever you buy through one of those links at no extra cost to you. As long as you start from one of the links on my page, this should work for anything you buy on amazon and I really do appreciate it. Now, I don't want you to just buy random things from amazon. That's not going to help either of us because you'll just waste money and I'll feel guilty. But if you're already planning on making a purchase through amazon, I hope you'll consider starting by clicking one of my links. As you were.) It's also time for my San Francisco Haul. You've already seen photos from my visits to Target and Big Lots. Now it's time to see what I actually bought.
A day later I went back to Macy's when I realized that nothing was going to take my Urban Decay Cannonball mascara off except M.A.C. Cleanse Off so I ran to quickly purchase a bottle of it. Oh my God, guys, when did M.A.C. Cleanse Off start costing $30? That is straight up ridiculous. It was just $24-$27 when I bought my first bottle which I still haven't used up yet. I would have brought that bottle on my trip but there's something wrong with the pump and I was afraid it would spill all over the things in my luggage. Needless to say, unless they lower the price, I will not be buying any more M.A.C. Cleanse Off after I use up these two bottles. I've heard that Muji makes a similar (much cheaper) cleansing oil so I will be looking that up and reporting back.
Now, onto Target. You know I had to pick up a pot of Vaseline Lip Therapy in Rosy Lips for soft, pink lips. I've been searching for this for months. I happen to think regular old Vaseline is about as effective as the majority of lip balms out there but of course there's the issue with ingesting it. Also, hopefully this tinted version will be a little more wearable during the day.
Seeing that big Revlon Lacquer Balm and Matte Balm display I had to make another full price purchase. I picked up the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 215 Shameless. I'm a sucker for bright colors (fuchsia, red) and dark colors (black cherry, purple). I've been impressed by the pigmentation of both the Revlon Kissable Balm Stains and the Revlon Lacquer Balm in Enticing that I purchased. And who knows when I'll go to Harmon's again. I saw an unopened tube of Shameless and I grabbed it. If you love something, you don't set it free.
With the next few products, I was bitten by the clearance item bug. I picked up two Rimmel London Glam'Eyes Trio Eye Shadows. I chose palette 1 in Smokey Noir and palette 621 in Orion. These palettes are so tiny I can never justify purchasing them at full price when I'm not terribly familiar with the Rimmel London eyeshadow formula. This was a perfect excuse for me to pick up these palettes which I always eye when I'm near the Rimmel London section at CVS.

Let's start with the only items that didn't come from Target or Big Lots. I popped into Macy's to do some shopping and of course I was distracted by the makeup section. I hovered around the new Clinique blushes. I wandered around the Urban Decay displays. Eventually I found myself in the Inglot section looking for the single pan eyeshadows I can never seem to find at the Times Square branch. And I finally found it. I found #397. But am I crazy or did Inglot freedom system shadows not cost $7 before?
