Small Drugstore Haul


 I can't be the only person who goes into Walgreen's for one (non-beauty) thing and comes out with this, can I? Since Walgreen normally do beauty sales I had to pop over and see what was on sale and this is what I came away with.


All the Maybelline products were buy one get one half off so I decided to repurchase one of the Fit me! powders since mine is running low. I use this powder daily and love it so it was kind of a necessary purchase, at least that's what I'm telling myself. I also bought the Fit me! shine free foundation in Coconut. I've been loving using cream contours and this works amazingly since it blends out so nicely.


I also picked up Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer + Treatment in the shade Fair. I need a new concealer as mine is almost gone and thought I'd give this one a go. I also picked up the Lash Sensational waterproof mascara as I've heard tons of good things about it. I'm going to say very carefully that so far I don't like it. I'm not a big fan of the brush but to be fair I've only used it once so I'll try it a few more times before deciding how I feel.


I also picked up these two Maybelline Color Elixirs. I'm a huge fan of the formula of these and I couldn't pass up the pretty colors (especially as these were on additional clearance because they're "Spring" colors). The shades are (from left) Glowing Garnet and Luminous Lilac.



This last purchase was ridiculous because, quite frankly, I have about 50 lipsticks in this shade, even one from Wet n' Wild that is in similar packaging and nearly the same color. My reasoning is I wear this color virtually every day in the Fall. It's like having 20 plain white tees, you can never have to many and it's a staple right? This is in the color Vintage Vibe.

I hope everyone's week is off to a great start!

  1. You are so not the only one who comes out of the drugstore with hands full of stuff you might not even need haha (just kidding, we need it all! lol). I love Age Rewind concealer, it is amazing. I once bought a shade darker (grabbed it quickly cos was in a rush) so that was a disappointment. Plus, that lipstick IS a staple so you can't have enough of them ;)
    So so great to be back to your blog, Kim! :)
    A little sad my vacation is over but good to be back to routine and most of all, blogging <3

  3. I always go in for one thing and come out with more, it's too hard not to! I really love the lipstick shade you bought, it's going to look amazing for fall! As for the Lash Sensational, try wiggling the wand as you coat your lashes (if you haven't already) I find it works wonders. Great post, Kim!

    1. Thanks for the tip Liz, i will definitely try it. I'm usually not a wiggler (haha) when it comes to mascara so i will definitely need to try that technique. Thanks for stopping in my lovely friend, hope you're having a great day! XO - Kim

  4. Ah I need to try that concealer, it looks amazing! And haha, I think we all have lipsticks that are similar colours, but we need them dont we lol! It looks such a gorgeous colour, I love wearing reds and purples in Autumn, and pairing it with a matching nail varnish colour!

  5. "Well it was all on sale " is a conversation I also often have with myself when I see the price come up at the till on a shopping spree haha :) I love those lip colours and think they're brilliant for autumn so definiteky the white t-shirt rule justifies it ( Don't worry I've got your back haha ) . I didn't like that mascara at first, Its still not my favourite considering all the hype around it , but I've found that if I limit myself to just one careful coat then It works well enough :)

    lots of love, Marianne xxx

    1. Hahaha Marianne, I know I can always count on you to have my back! I adore you haha! That's a good tip! I have a habit of clumping mascara on so I definitely need to try it more sparingly but I'm glad you've had the same thoughts on it! Thanks so much for stopping in my beautiful friend! XO -Kim

  6. I do the same thing, only with me it's Target! Although at Target I'll go in for hamburger buns and come out with not only beauty products, but also clothes/accessories! These stores are designed to get you to do this and I fall for the trap every time! Looks like you walked away with a great haul! I especially like the Maybelline lip colors.

    1. Hahaha Katie! It's why I limit my necessary food/drugstore shopping to places that do not also carry clothes, shoes, purses and all the other fashiony bits that could get me in really big trouble hahaha! I am totally a sucker for the trap and by this point I don't even try to break the cycle hahaha. Thanks for stopping in my beautiful friend, I hope you had a great day! XO -Kim
