Drugstore (CVS)/Walmart Mini Haul

Hello Everyone!

So I've been absent a few days bc I've been a little under the weather with the season changing to Fall...The joy of having allergies and sinuses...NOT! lol Well anyway I've also been focusing my time on working on a new Afghan and I can't wait to show you all :)

Now on to today's post my current mini haul. I went to Walmart and CVS the other day and picked up a few items.

 

1. Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for normal to oily skin

 

You probably have noticed I've been using Cetaphil products lately, and they're great! This isn't a new product for me I just started using it again to switch things up.

2. Dial Coconut Water & Bamboo Leaf Extract Ultra Fresh Hydrating Body Wash

 

This is another product thats not new for me lol I mentioned this in product in my Bath/Beauty products post. Since I'm running low, I just bought a new bottle.

3. Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm (Pink Pout)

 

Ok, I'm still undecided how I feel about this product. I like that the lip balm is very hydrating on my lips. The lip balm smells really nice, to me it smells like cocoa butter or a cookie. I also really like the color, however the color isn't very pigmented. I feel like I had to keep re-applying just to make the color more noticeable. I'm not too disappointed since it didn't cost that much. I'm going to wear the lip balm, but for now im undecided if I'll repurchase.


4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss (Berry Allure)

 

 

I actually didn't pick this out. Remember I mentioned I was under the weather with allergies...well my mom was at CVS the other day, and got me me lip gloss and a Cosmo magazine. Wasn't that sweet of her :) I've never tried this color before, but when I tried it I loved it! It's not too dark and it's a perfect color for Fall. This color is really pigmented, and hydrating. It's also long lasting, I only re-applied once. Another plus is that its by Revlon and I love their products! As for the Cosmo magazine she just got it for me since it's my favorite magazine lol

 

Germ X Atomic Apple Hand Sanitizer

 

This smells really good and it keeps the germs away! Enough said lol :)

There you have it my mini haul. I also purchased about 6 rolls of yarn for my Afghan. I'm not going to show the colors until I finish my project, be on the lookout for that :)

Well in my last crocheting post, I mentioned about starting an Afghan...no worries I started on it Tuesday :) First I wanted to take a little detour and make another one of "my first" projects...fingerless gloves. I've been crocheting like crazy lately!! Well back to the fingerless gloves. They were really easy to make, and it didn't take me long at all to make these gloves. The lovely thing about this project is that I used some of my scrap yarn to make the gloves...what a wonderful way to use scrap yarn!

In addition to crocheting, I put my sewing skills to use to sew on on the light blue borders. I guess this was a two in one kind of project lol!

By using the half double crochet pattern the gloves are thick, warm, and very roomy.

With Fall approaching soon, I wanted to share a few items from Estée Lauder that I like. I got this makeup set on sale a while ago. I'm not going to show everything since some of my items that came in the makeup case, I've ran out of lol. Here are some of my perfect colors for Fall :)

Estée Lauder Deluxe Pure Color Eyeshadow Palette

 

Estée Lauder Deluxe All Over Face Compact

 

Makeup brushes that came with the set

 

Cosmetics Bag

 

Last but not least, the makeup case that came with the items

 

Side Note: You've likely noticed the applicatior brushes are missing in the palettes... I have to replace them, but I usually use a longer eyeshadow and blush brush anyway lol

Are you looking forward to wearing any eyeshadow colors and makeup looks this Fall?

I've been in kind of a funk the last few days, so to try and take my mind of things I did the one thing that I love... crocheting.  Since the start of Fall is coming up this weekend, what better way to bring in a new season with a new scarf and hat set. I really hope the South has a cooler fall and winter this year lol.

I actually started the hat last weekend and worked throughout this week on both projects. I did both projects in a ribbed crochet pattern. I really enjoyed making these items since pink is my favorite color.

Horizontal Ribbed Scarf with fringe

For the hat:
