Online Haul Review: Ulta and Amazon!

Wednesday, August 7, 2013 • 1:53 PM • 0 Comments

Hey guys! I know it's been a while, but I'm back with another great haul! I brought some items from Ulta and Amazon. I was so excited when I received these!

ULTA:

I'm going to show what I brought at Ulta first. It took about 6 days to arrive. I really like how there's bubble wrap for extra protection. All of the items arrived in one piece!

This is what the package looks like when first opened (minus another bubble wrap on top).

So I brought some Real Techniques brushes. I never had any brushes before and I didn't want to waste $60 or so on Sigma brushes. I've heard a WHOLE lot about these brushes, and I wanted to try them myself. I have to say they do live up to the rave! So far, I've been using the buffing brush that comes in the Core Collection. The bristle are very soft and dense. I love my brushes, and am really happy with the purchase.

The next item I brought from Ulta is the Urban Decay Naked palette. I actually brought this for my mom since I don't really wear any makeup except foundation. I must say, it was pretty darn expensive! However, the packaging is really nice, and the quality is absolutely stunning.

I didn't really buy the last item, but it was a gift bag that came with my purchase. It is filled with all sort of little goodies! The bag has a interesting velvety-texture, almost like a reptile skin.

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase from Ulta. I will be looking forward towards my next splurge!

AMAZON:

I brought two items from Amazon. I ordered on Sunday and the package arrived on Thursday.

The first thing I brought is the Winstonia nail dotter set. It comes with a roll up mat.

They come in five different colors. I love how pretty they look!

What I love about this set is that the dotters are ALL different sizes! There is so many reviews on Amazon about other nail dotters that aren't in different sizes, but Winstonia's are! Below is the proof!

The last item I brought is the HSI flat iron. I was in need of a new iron because my old one was causing my hair to smell burnt (that's what I get for buying a cheap straightener). I read a lot of good reviews about this flat iron (it was compared with the CHI), but the real deal breaker for me was the price of it. It was only $38.99!

The flat iron itself came with a travel bag, heat gloves, and an Argan oil sample.

The design of the straightener is sleek, with diamond-like details on the handle. The quality of it is excellent. I haven't used it yet as I need to buy a heat protectant, but I'm stoke to try it out!

Overall, I am really happy with my purchase!

Thanks for ready my long post, and have a great day! n_n

Target Mini Haul

Sunday, April 28, 2013 • 1:42 PM • 0 Comments

Hello, guys! As you may know, this is my first blog post! *dances* I'm not use to blogging (nor editing EVERY single one of my pictures), so bear with me! I might not write much for a couple of blogs, but I will continue to write more so I can covey my thoughts clearly for y'all. So I went to Target this weekend and picked up a couple of cheap, CHEAP items. I'm only going to show you clothing I bought because the other stuff aren't so interesting. So let's begin! This first thing I bought were these lovely burnt-ochre shoes.

I just LOVE these Merona Mabli Moccasin Loafers. They're just so comfortable! The inner sole is thick and supporting, not to mention the cute tassels. I got these at the clearance section for $7.48!!! They're $24.99 on the website so I got a major deal buying them in-store. I almost died when I saw these in my size. I picked up the last pair in size 8 1/2.

The bottom sole is sturdy rubber that is about 3/4 inches tall. I was glad that the sole is not thin, because I tend to drag my foot when I walk. A major plus is the detailed bottoms!

I probably already said this, but I just love these shoes! They look expensive but in reality they're so cheap! I would have totally buy more in different colors if they had my size. :) Now on to the next thing I bought.

$13.75

These pair of jeans are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I rarely find a pair that fits me perfectly, so I was practically bowing down on the ground when I tried them on. The detail is great for the price, I mean, just look at the seam!

And look at these bad boy embellishment here.

It also came with a belt.

I also bought these two v-neck shirts. I will post an upcoming tutorial with the white shirt soon.

$6.00 each

That's the end of my Target haul! Overall, I am very happy with what I found. Maybe I'll go to other Target to see what else I can find...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wrote a list of that I would like to try out. Hopefully, I will be able to buy some of these products soon! >.< I may also do reviews if I do.

My mom has been growing some mint in our mini garden, and we went outside to pick them. They smelled really fresh and 'minty'. I also went to an Asian bakery inside of 99 Ranch Market today. The bakery is called Desir. I bought a couple of bread and I wanted to show you guys my favorites.

Unfortunately, I don't know what they're called. All I know is that they're really good! n_n

So, here's a picture of my dog to end my first blog. His name is Benji and he's a dachshund. I had to blur out his you-know-what so I won't be flagged for inappropriate pictures. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy your day!
