HAUL!

     Hey girlies! This is my first haul that I'm going to share with you.  I stopped in Bath and Body Works and Ulta to check out the after-Christmas-sales and ended up with some great deals!

Wallflower in Sweet Pea

          This is the first item I picked up.  I didn't see a good image of the dispenser along with the scent so this picture only shows the refillable scent "flower" part.  I believe it started out around twelve dollars and I ended up with the dispenser and one refill for just five. :) Sweet Pea is such a classic scent, I'm just hoping it won't be overwhelming in my room.
    Orange Sapphire Foaming Hand Soap
         I know, this one isn't super exciting but I was out of soap in my bathroom!  It smells so good--like oranges but not too tropical.  And who doesn't love foaming hand soap that's 50% off?
    Country Apple Shower Gel
         Yes, I'm fully aware these aren't worth ooh-ing and ahh-ing over but hey, they smell great and were so cheap!  This is a classic Bath and Body Work scent that smells fruity but not like a five year old girl.  It started out as 9.50$ and I got it for 3. :)

Bed Head TIGI 1 1/4" Styling Iron

     I just deleted a sentence that said "this was a purchase out of necessity."  Really Lina, a curling iron is never a necessity but mine simply didn't curl!  It was a hand-me-down from my sweet mother that was probably over fifteen years old.  I did buy this full price but it's a brand that I trust and super reasonable--24.99$

And this is where my biggest guilty pleasure begins... OPI

OPI Nail Lacquer in Dulce de Leche

      I've recently been on a nude kick.  In the last two weeks I've purchased this and the two Mac lipsticks Fleshpot and Hue.  I have very fair skin but dark hair (natural) and I love this color for it.  I'm actually wearing it now and watching my nails type hahaha.  Inside it's more of a taupey nudey color and in the sun it turns what I could call a dusty pink shade.  Love this.

OPI Have Colors Will Travel
No Room for the Blues and A Good Man-darin is Hard to Find

       I love this red orange color.  If you're familiar with OPI you know about My Chihuahua Bites or Cajun Shrimp.  A Good Man-darin reminds me of both of those but a little bit more brilliant.  Perfect for summer on hands or toes!  Okay time for the real truth... I'm not a huge fan of blue nail polish.  When other's wear it I think it looks great but I just can't rock it.  However, at Ulta, OPI polishes run for 8.50$ each.  This set began at 14.95 and I picked it up for 9.99.  Who could pass that up??  Who knows, maybe this spring the quirky turquoise will grow on me!
      Also, this set came with an adorable orange fake skin passport cover. It has three extra pockets on the left inside and conveniently matches my luggage!


OPI little Black Dress Up
Color So Hot it Berns and Lucerene-taintly Look Marvelous

       Real talk here girls... I'm a sucker for tiny clutches.  The adorable black satin one that this came with is the perfect size to hold one nail polish (travel?) and is covered in a cute cute cute Chanel-esque pattern.  But the best part is the tiny tassel off of the zipper.  Yes, you have permission to roll your eyes. 
      Color So Hot it Berns is extremely similar to OPI Red or Big Apple Red and is a year round true classic red.  Lucerene-taintly Look Marvelous is a gunmetal glittery shade.  Anyone who knows me knows I avoid glittery nails, but this glitter is such a perfect match to the polish itself that it really just gives off a sheen of silver and black specks.  And it's the exact color of my favorite pair of heels!
    I think this is the best deal I picked up all day!  It started out as 13 and I ended up only paying 5.90!  That's less than one bottle at a beauty supply store. :)

   I had a fun shopping day with my Christmas money so please don't say I'm spoiled!  Thanks for reading, I know this was a long one!  Comment any of these that you're interested in a review for and in a week or two I'll write one.
