A few Hauls & How it's going with ShopRunner

   I'm still testing out my ShopRunner membership and here are the last few small orders I placed with either Drugstore or Beauty.com (or both).  First I had to buy some more of my favorite dry shampoo:


   Aerosol must be shipped ground and thus my order did not qualify for free ShopRunner shipping.  =(  I have not tried the Oscar Blandi Instant Glossing Cream because I'm still using up a trial-sized product of similar effect.  The Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray is genius in a bottle!

   Then I snagged a couple of nail polishes:


   Once again nail polish is full of danger and peril and must be shipped ground, so only my freebie sample of gloss was eligible to be shipped in 2 days by ShopRunner.  (Uh, how is that going to work?)  Layla Magneffect Silver Galaxy has been swatched and blogged about and I highly suggest checking out the post if you haven't already.  Orly Space Cadet is my first Orly polish and wow, huge bottle!

   Then I treated myself during the 20% off Friends & Family-type sale, which made me happy that I skipped the one done by Urban Decay themselves:


   Finally, something that ShopRunner was willing to send to me!  I placed my order around 10-11am, and was surprised when my glosses came the very next day.  I suppose it's because I ordered in the morning but I really was expecting to see them in 2 days, not 1!  These are Urban Decay Lip Junkie Glosses in Red Light and Perversion.


   So in all I liked the fact that when ShopRunner can ship my items it works very quickly, but it's frustrating that so many of the products that I personally want to buy Online are no-goes with them.  Has anyone else signed up for or checked out ShopRunner?  What do you think of it?

Swatch & Review: More Too Faced Glamour Gloss!

   Hello everyone!  I have a few more Glamour Glosses to share with you all.  This time with the added bonus of swatches done on my lips, and applicator comparisons!  The colors I have are Chihuahua Bite, Flirt, First Time and a look at the sample size of Barely Legal vs. the full size.  Some pictures can be clicked for larger versions.

Too Faced Glamour Gloss Picspam

   I snapped a few shots of the 9 Glamour Glosses that I have in my possession - this means more swatches to be done!  I did a review on my first 6 colors earlier.  Too Faced only sells 12 different colors now, since they are discontinuing 2 (which would be Champagne Room and Dare Me - snag them now from TooFaced.com if you want them).  Look at all the pretty bottles:


   With flash.  That's Chihuahua Bite, This is Pretty!, Flirt, First Time, Barely Legal, Sex Pot, Strip Tease, Erotic, Pillow Talk.  This came out very true-to-life!  Got a couple shots without flash as well:

I'm Sick... so here, have a Haul Post

   I have had no energy for the last two days.  My cold came back with a vengeance.  A horrible, wrathful vengeance.  I even left work early yesterday, which I do pretty much never.  =(

   Anyway, I'm way too gross for make-up, and couldn't see trying to do my nails while I'm constantly reaching for tissues, so lets just enjoy my Drugstore&Beauty.com orders, shall we?  They had great sales recently, so I couldn't pass them up:

Drugstore.com items:
   GNC Hair, Skin & Nails Formula
   GNC Biotin 5000
   Nailene Ultra Quik Glue
Beauty.com items:
   BE Flawless Definition Mascara in Black and Espresso
   Too Faced Glamour Gloss in First Time and Flirt
   Lavanila Deluxe Mini Roller-Ball Set

   The Drugstore and Beauty sites have such a huge array of products!  I bought the GNC supplements to see if there would be any improvements in my nails from taking them.  Ever since late this winter I can't get my nails to grow long like I used to.  I don't know if it's from the harsh chemicals and cleansers at work, from lack of moisture, or just some major shift in my chemistry, but it's annoying!  The nailene glue is also for trying to hold my poor nails together, and I figure I'll use it for nail art rhinestone later on.

   My favorite mascara has turned out to be Bare Escentuals Flawless Definition.  Not the volumizing version.  I still use and try other new mascaras, but this is the one for me.  And lately I've had a hankering for a good old brown mascara.  Black is awesome and it has it's place, but I've been wishing for a dark brown again.  It's a nostalgic feeling, since I started wearing brown mascara before getting hooked on black.  Every new mascara that comes out is...black!  So finally I got smart and just went for my favorite in Espresso.  Thank you Beauty.com for having this harder-to-find color. ♥

   I love Too Faced Glamour Gloss.  (It's true - see here!)  It's a major addiction and a good thing that they aren't available in more colors or I would be a less wealthy girl.  I was planning to wait to buy the rest of the colors on my wishlist from Too Faced's site, but... I think I got impatient.  I now have all the colors my heart desires!  But I have to wait until I'm less germ-infested before I will try these pretties, because I don't like contaminating my make-up.

   I have not tried Lavanila before, but I love natural products, and these are about as natural as perfumes get!  I will have to get my sense of smell back before I try to see what I think of these.  Hopefully I'll be better soon!

Swatch & Review: Too Faced Glamour Gloss - 6 Colors!

   Even on a "no make-up day" hydrated lips are a must, obviously.  I will venture no where without my Burt's Bees lip balm, or a worthy stand-in.  Before I would have not added the part about the stand-in, but these glosses have convinced me that one actually exists.

The Company: Too Faced | The Product: Glamour Gloss
Current Retail Price: $19.00 a piece
The Colors I'm Reviewing: Sex Pot, This is Pretty!, Barely Legal, Strip Tease, Pillow Talk, Erotic
