Sunday Haul + Awards

Hey everyone!  It's that time of week again... Haul!  This week is super small, but I have some other stuff for you to look at.  On to my products!

Essie Super Bossa Nova
Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

I have been using the cuticle cream everyday since I bought it.  I LOVE IT!  I usually have my fingers all raggedy from opening bottles and stuff, but they look perfect now!  Awesome stuff.

As for the polish, I hate that I bought it full price because I know it will go on clearance at Walgreens, but I couldn't stand it!  I saw swatches of it and HAD to have it.  I think I'm going to see if I have anything close to it.  It seems really familiar.  Hot pink with blue/purple flashes seem really popular this year!  Oh well : )

Born Pretty Store nail foils

I got these as yet another promotion that they were doing.  They got here lightening fast!  Only about two weeks.  Very impressive!  I didn't get to choose the design or I would probably have picked just plain ones, or a brand logo that I actually use ;).  I will be trying these soon!  They're so flashy. Oh, and the strange angle is the only way I could get a picture without tons of glare!

When I started writing this the other day I thought I'd have a few more things to show, but I don't!  I got tagged for some awards so I'll do those :)

I got tagged for these by Polish Amor <3.  She wasn't on my blog list before (she didn't follow me under her blog name so I had no idea who she was! Sorry!), but after I checked her out she has been added to my blog roll.  She does some really cute designs! Check her out!  Thanks sweetie!

1. Thank the person that gave you the award and link them back
2. Share 7 things about yourself
3. Pass this onto 15 bloggers
4.Tell the people that you gave the award to

(Does anyone happen to know any of the Eakins' family they can connect me with?!? lol)5. Sometimes I feel like I grew up too fast and I'm really still just a kid.  
I would rather spend my time pretending with a toddler than drinking with an adult 6. My favorite bar drink is Malbu Rum in pineapple juice
7. My most vivid memory from high school is drinking a Chocolate Peanut butter malt with double malt with my then crush Ryan.  I crave those even today lol



So, there are some random things about me :)  I've tagged a lot of people recently, and these are all always going around so I'm just going to tag all my readers! If you haven't done this yet, go do it!

Sunshine Award!

Hi everyone!  I'm getting ready for bed but I just saw that I was tagged for this award!  Yay!  I was having the WORST day ever, and two things happened to make me feel better.  This was one of them.  The other, I won Witoxicity's Catrice giveaway, AND I won Spin from Pretty Edgy Nails's giveaway.  How awesome!  My first win and I got two at the same time :)  I'll hopefully have those prizes to "haul" for you in the next couple of weeks.  On to my award though!

Top 10 Award!

I want to thank Olivia from Livy Lu Lu for taking me for my first blog award!  I'm really really excited :)

The rules are pretty simple. Once you get tagged you have to do four things:

1. Thank the person who tagged you (of course!)
2. Post your award badge
3. List your top ten cosmetic products
4. Then tag the next ten bloggers!  Let them know, of course :) 

On to my Holy Grail!  First of all, I don't wear make-up a lot... but when I do, I usually don't vary much from my brands/routine!  Second, these aren't necessarily in order (except No 1)

1. Hands down, number one is the Naked palette from Urban Decay.  I use this ALL THE TIME
2. Bad Gal Lash from Too Faced
3. Make-up Forever HD Finishing Powder.  Amazing.
4. Make-up Forever Micro-Correcting HD primer in #1, green
5. Wet n Wild gel eyeliner in black

7. Urban Decay Pocket Rocket lipgloss (any)
8. Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner (any)
9. Beauty Secrets (Sally's brand) 100% Acetone nail polish remover (or just the plain acetone... that one has a fruity scent!)
10. Seche Repair.  I have horrible nails!  (dirty little secret!)

There you have my holy grail of cosmetics.  Everything else I use is subject to change lol  Now, ten beauty bloggers to pass this on to.  Hmmm....

I tried to tag people I haven't seen with any badges or anything lately so they won't have to do it again.  If you have recently, ignore it!  

Again THANK YOU to Olivia!!  Check her out :)
