Ms. Naty's Referral Link!

• Starlooks Lipgloss | $13
• I liked the soft color, but found it a bit sticky. Maybe I got a bad one cause everyone seemed to love this. It was just "eh" for me. :/ (Swatch below)
• http://starlooks.com/collections/lips/products/lip-gloss 

• Nude Dude Palette from The Balm | $36
• Love this color and the pigment is great. Such a perfect shade for summer time! (Swatch below)
• http://www.thebalm.com/nude-dude.html

• Hey Honey Facial Serum | $41
• I enjoy the feel and formula of this product. Smooth and soft on the skin. Works great as a primer as well. I do find it too pricey. You can get something just as good (or better) for a more affordable price. 
• http://www.heyhoney.com/good-morning-honey-silk-facial-serum/

• Harvey Prince Jor'el Parker Femina Perfume | $21
• I'm not big on perfumes, this has a nice fragrance and is a good throw in your purse item. Would I run to the store and buy it? No. 
• http://harveyprince.com/index.php/jorel-parker/femina-mini-roller-edp.html#.VS5f2ZM70qg

• Hikari Blush in Tango | $15
• Um.... LOVE THIS! I probably wouldn't spend this much on blush unless I was on a "splurge" high, but loved this shade and pigment! (Swatch below)

CVS Beauty Haul: More ExtraBucks MEGA Savings!

Guys, THIS IS AWESOME!!!! Have I ever told you how much I love CVS and their ExtraBucks (EB) Reward Program? Well I do! So yesterday I shared with you a mini Beauty Haul at CVS and mentioned the deals I was going back for... Well here they are! Again, this is all done with EB and a CVS gift card I had for $10 from a really old haul (I completely forgot I had this!) I did some time back from their Buy $30, Get $10 promo. I did 4 separate transactions with 2 different ExtraCare Cards (ECC). Here we go!

Then guy didn't realize for my next transactions I would be using my other ECC and approved the $3 EB to be used towards my other card! Sweet! FYI It doesn't always work out that way.)

 

Transaction #3, ECC #2
