QBB Hauls: Some Recent Retail Therapy

Although I've honestly been purchasing less items as of late, I do have some recent purchases to share with you from the past week or so.

Let's start at the drugstore- that's where I've been spending most of my beauty money these days. And let's start with the makeup products.




Wet 'n Wild Color Blast Mascara- Purple- I always grab a couple of these colored mascaras to keep in my stash throughout the year. I'll also likely pick up one of the pink ones soon.
Revlon Lash Glue- I never see this in-stock so I wanted to give it a shot. Stay tuned- I'm hoping to wear lashes again.
Milani Conceal & Perfect 2-in-1 Concealer & Foundation- I found the two new shades (00A & 00B) at my local Walmart and couldn't resist. I already tested one day so far and have thoughts. Lots of them. Look for a full review in the coming weeks.
Kokie Skin Perfect HD Foundation 10C- None of my local stores carry this brand, so when I spotted it at a store an hour from home I had to pick it up. I'm always up for a foundation. I'm actually testing this for the first time when putting this post together...
Kokie Cushion Liquid Concealer 10C- The wand concealer was too dark for me, so I wanted to give this a try. I've never tried a cushion concealer before!
Maybelline The City Mini Palette Matte About Town- This is a Walgreens-exclusive palette; I have been hunting for the x Shayla collab but have been out of luck. And trust me- I've been at every local drugstore this week.
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 219 Strobe Light- HOLO.




Yes to Blueberries- this is one of my favorites, and I spotted this for under $5!
Pure & Gentle Wipes- I've never tried these before but they were under $1 so it was worth picking them up to try. Worst case scenario, I'll use these for swatches.



BioMiracle Skin Therapy Real Fresh Matcha Foam Cleanser- Spoiler alert, I finished my non-hydrating foamy cleanser. This caught my eye at CVS and I couldn't resist. I've used this twice so far and will be reviewing it.



Daylogic Solid Brush Cleanser- Not a facial cleanser, but this could be an amazing buy. I go through Sephora Collection Solid Brush Cleansers very quickly. They're only $2 less than the BeautyBlender solid cleanser they're duping. This retails for $7.99, and is eligible for your RiteAid discounts. With my Gold discount, this cost $6.39. Stay tuned on my thoughts for that!



Le Petit Marseillais Mandarin & Lime Extra Gentle Shower Gel- I've been wanting to try this for awhile and the price was right. I have a bunch of sweet shower gels in rotation right now so this is a great counterbalance.


Now, let's talk about some TJMaxx bargains I've been digging up lately.




bareMinerals Some Like it Nude 8-piece Mini Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick Collection ($19.99)- I probably overpaid for this but I've been loving the bareMinerals lip products in my collection as of late. Look for a review of this in the coming weeks.

Ole Henriksen Nurture Me Cleansing Cloths ($4.99)- I love these makeup removing wipes, especially now that I tend to do my eyes first and need to use a cloth each morning. They feel a little more like skincare than most other wipes.

Marc Jacobs Style Eye-Con No 3 112 The Mod ($12.99)- This is the third one of these three-pan palettes that I've picked up. This trio produces a grey or smoky look.

The BrowGal Eyebrow Pencil 02 ($2.99)- I received a product from this brand in a box I'm not supporting right now (post to come), and at this price- why not?

Color Club Nail Lacquer ($1.99)- Gimme all the holos.

Finally, I broke down and went to Ulta.


Tarte Tartiest Lash Adhesive- Fingers crossed, this might be the answer. I miss lashes.

Ardell Faux Mink 812 & Wispies 602- I've already worn the Faux Minks once (yes, they're cut down) and the 602s are my jam.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in Medium Brown- I've been into lighter brows as of late and needed to pick up a Dipbrow

Flower Nail Files- to meet a minimum for a coupon.

Revolution Makeup Renaissance Lipstick- Yes, they look like Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks- which I love. I can't wait to try this out.

Revolution Makeup Brow Revolution- I've heard this is similar to the Wunderbrow, which I've been too cautious to pick up yet.

I have a few other items that I'm currently testing that you'll likely see posts on first. But it's nice to be back- these are non-iPhone photos, shot with my Sony and some minimal correcting on my new PC. So, I'm back! I'm still hopeful to rescue some of the photos on my old Mac- particularly all of my Viseart palettes.

What have you picked up lately?
