I love CVS...no, I mean I really, really love CVS. It's definitely one of my favorites store and a guilty pleasure of mine. So today on my daily trip (yeah, you read that right...daily lol) I came across 2 items that I just simply could not resist. Actually it was four items...technically. The first item is a set that includes both the Nexxus Humectress shampoo AND conditioner for only $16.99!!! Now, I'm not at product junkie at all. I feel if somethings not broken, don't fix it especially when it comes to my hair. I currently use Organic Root Stimulator as my deep conditioner and Suave Humestress as my shampoo but honestly, I've been secretly dying to try the Nexxus conditioner but because its normally so pricey, I usually pass on it. But today, after seeing that I could try both for one price, I immediately grabbed it up. Tomorrow is my wash day, so I will try them out and hopefully they don't disappoint (don't you just hate when that happen? when you've been so hyped about a product and it just let you down?).

The second items that I got was the Eye Collection Kit by The Color Workshop in Browns, Greys and Blues. I was talked into buying them by a sales person after she saw that I was eyeing them. I figured that since they were only $4.99 each, why not give them a try. Let me start off by saying that these were the worst makeup that I have ever tried and I'm a Makeup Artist, so you know I've tried more makeup than the average person. First off, even with primer, the eyeshadows do not show up. They are also very chalky and flaky. I opened only one pencil in the Blue kit and the tip immediately broke off then crumbled in my hands. The only thing that was decent was the eyeliner. I knew that I shouldn't have been shocked that these were so bad, especially because of the price but I am. I use NYX and ELF, both pretty cheap brands but with superior quality makeup. These kits are sub-par and I would never, ever recommend that anyone buy them. I will be returning them first thing tomorrow on my next daily visit :-)

So last week, I went on www.eyeslipsface.com to buy one face brush..but instead I got all of these lol. I really do think that I have a shopping problem but for these prices, who could blame me? My entire order, with shipping, only came up to $31.45 for EVERYTHING!!!!! Here is what I got:

1 Smudge Eye Sponge Brush $1.00
1 Lip Defining Brush $1.00
1 Total Face Brush $1.00
1 Slant Tweezer $1.00
1 Super Glossy Lip Shine w/SPF 15 in Angel $1.00
1 Eyeliner Brush $1.00
2 Natural Lash Kit-Black $1.00 each
2 Dramatic Lash Kit-Black $1.00 each
1 Essentials Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Midnight $1.00
1 Essentials Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black $1.00
1 Dramatic Lash Kit-Brown $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Iconic Ivory $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Precious Pink $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Gunmetal $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Twinkle Teal $1.00
1 Essentials Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Black Bandit $1.00
1 Limited Edition Essentials Dramatic Length False Eyelashes in Teal Blue $3.00
1 Limited Edition Essentials Dramatic Length False Eyelashes in Purple $3.00
1 Limited Edition Essentials Dramatic Length False Eyelashes in Neon Pink $3.00
1 Essentials Day To Night Collection $5.00

So far I've used about half of these items and I absolutely love them! From the shimmer pencils, to the eye primer and brushes..everything is a hit with me. I can't believe that makeup and tools this cheap are actually this good. I highly recommend ELF and will be purchasing from them again very soon.

Oh and on top of getting $7.50 off my order because of a special that they were running that day, I also received this as a free gift:

The Essentials Brightening Eye Color in Butternut valued at $1.00. Fast shipping and a little free gift always makes me happy :-)
