MAC To The Beach Haul & Swatches

Just wanted to share with you guys what i picked up from the To The Beach Collection.
The collection was suppose to be released on the 27th but it came out a few days before that so unfortunately i missed out on a few things i had wanted because they were sold out. I was going to pick up the lipstick in Thrills, and the Marine life highlight powder, which i am very disappointed that i missed out on. But overall this was a very fun collection with lots of pink and coral colors, perfect for summer and the packaging is adorable.

Drugstore Skincare Haul and O.P.I

I was at Walmart a while back, looking for some new skin care items to try out. Ive been using these ever since i got them and some of them i absolutely love. So here are my thoughts on each item.


*Clean and Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub
Not the best exfoliating scrub in the world but for the price you can't beat it.
Doesn't really do much for clogged pores but it does get rid of the dry skin on your face and leaves it feeling clean. If you don't like products that leave a tingly, cool menthol sort of feeling on your face then don't get this product because it definitely does. Overall i think its great if you are looking for a product in the 5 dollar range to get rid of dry patchy skin.

*Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
*Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
I ABSOLUTELY love these items!!! First lets talk about the cleanser. The formula is clear and it doesn't sud up like most cleansers do but it gets rid of all my makeup and it's mild yet incredibly effective. It cleared up all of my break outs and left my skin feeling clean.Also a big plus for me is that this product is non-comedogenic!
What more can you ask for?
The Moisturizer is absolutely amazing.If you suffer from eczema this is the product for you. I have some of the back of my arms and i have tried everything and nothing seemed to work. I was recommended this product from a friend, and since i started using it the eczema has improved dramatically. How did i ever live without this moisturizer???

*Pond's Dry Skin Cream
Love this as a facial moisturizer. It has a soft, creamy consistency and doesn't leave your skin feeling oily or greasy. Be careful with this product though because a LITTLE goes a very long way.

*Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes
I am not completely sold on these wipes. They do get eye makeup off rather easily but they tend to leave my face feeling oily if i use them on their own.

While i was there i couldn't resist passing by the nail polish isle haha!
I picked up 3 fun spring/summer colors.All three are the brand Nicole by O.P.I

Left to right: Truth or Lilac, Hint of Mint, Play Fair
Out of the three Play Fair is my favorite, it kind of reminds me of Stars and Rockets eyeshadow by MAC once its on my nails.

MAC Pret-a-Papier

This collection was pretty big but nothing much stood out to me. All i purchased was Instant Chic Blush and Coral Crepe paint pot. I absolutely love corals for the spring/summer so these were perfect. Below are pictures and swatches.

Instant Chic Blush:Midtone muted coral (Sheertone) $18.50

Coral Crepe Paint Pot: Soft coral (Satin) $16.50

Top:Instant Chic Blush
Bottom:Coral Crepe Paint Pot

The Vampire Diaries Series (The Books)

Since i love the Vampire Diaries you know i had to pick up the books when i saw them!!
The books in order from first to last...
The Awakening and The Struggle
The Fury and Dark Reunion
The Return:(Vol.1) Nightfall
The Return:(Vol.2) Shadow Souls
Let me first of all say that the first 2 books of this series that i bought are like 2 books in one cover ( if that makes sense). Example: The Awakening is one book and The Struggle is another but they are both packed into one book.Im not sure if you can get them by their selves or not but i prefer them this way.
I initially thought this was going to be like the television series but i've read them all and they aren't! The characters and basically the same with some exceptions. Like, for example, in the books Elena has blonde hair and a younger sister but in the tv series she is a brunette and has a brother. The stories and scenarios are totally different. I was really disappointed at the ending because i felt that there wasn't closure. Hopefully there will be one last book coming out that will actually have an ending....who knows! Overall i am in love with these books. If you like vampire, love story type of books then i definitely recommend that you pick these up!!

MAC Eyeshadow Finishes

For those of you who are not as familiar with the MAC eyeshadow finishes and are a little confused about what each one is...here you go...



FROST – An iridescent shine that adds a highlight quality to any colour.
LUSTRE – Smoothly pearlized; intensely frosted with a deluxe ultra-fine “conditioned” finish.
MATTE – Hi-colour pay-off in a no-shine matte finish.
SATIN – Pure colour in a satin-style finish. Provides a soft subtle non-frost, light-refractive sheen.
VELUXE – Superfine texture. Pigment rich and very luxe. Supple to apply. Silky smooth matte finish.
VELUXE PEARL – Vibrant, velvety soft with a metallic shimmer. Veluxe formula overlaid w/ high-shine pearl.(Which is my absolute favorite!!)
VELVET – Soft look finish with high-colour intensity. Has a plush velvety look and feel.
