Hey guys! I know I've been going kind of haul crazy lately, but I keep finding amazing stuff at amazing prices that I simply can't pass up. If you guys love a good deal half as much as I do, hopefully you don't mind all of my haul posts!

First up is the Sally Beauty Supply portion of this haul.
They have a deal going on for buy two lashes, get one free..so my mom got a pair (after falling in love with the effect when I tried some on her) and I got two. Most of my lashes are either really crazy or really subtle, so I wanted something kind of in the middle. The ones I decided on were the Demi Wispies and #109.
Seche Vite is probably the most well known top coat out there, and I feel a little late hopping on this train. I believe it's usually $8 and for as little as I actually use a top coat (almost never since I Konad a lot and it smears it) I couldn't bring myself to buy it. Right now it's on sale for $6 so I figured I might as well suck it up and go for it. We'll see how it compares to every other top coat out there. I also picked up a China Glaze Matte Magic top coat. If your Sally's has any of these left on clearance, go buy them. I already have five or six bottles, but got most of them after they went on clearance for a dollar. I absolutely love the look of matte polish and if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!
Last, but certainly not least, I picked up two of the Sally Girl Mini Baked Eyeshadows in Dark Green (388120), which is actually a teal, and Dark Purple (388127). The only real complaint I have with these is that the color names aren't on the bottom, which makes it difficult for tutorial use, but luckily the color names are on the site. These are quite small to look at, but are actually a whopping 1.4g..that's .1g less than a MAC shadow! The color payoff is great, and even more impressive when used wet, so for $1 you really can't go wrong.

Now for the mark. goodies!
We found a little shop that was selling a ton of fake purses, Avon and mark. so I decided to try a few things to see if I wanted to become a mark. rep. The only bad thing about buying things from a shop or a flea market, where you can almost always find Avon, is that most of the stuff is discontinued. I couldn't find anything I bought on the site, but I wanted to share it with you guys anyway so you could get a feel for the quality if you haven't tried anything from their line.
The moisturizer, things you dew, is light and has a nice smell. I can't say much else about it since I've only had a day to try it out, but I am already a little bummed that they no longer have it.
As far as makeup goes, I picked up a good glowing blush in Angel Glo, which is a super pale pink with sparkles. I pretty much have nothing like this in my collection and thought it would make a nice cheek highlight. They are a great size at 5.2g and retail for $7, not bad at all.
The two eyeshadow singles I got are Fancy, which is a shimmery pastel yellow with a very slight green duochrome, and Vixen, which is a matte purple brown. It's kind of hard to describe, but at any rate, they're both really nice. These are 2.5g and retail for $5.

Phew, that's all. Sorry for the wordy post, but I'm really impressed with my finds and that tends to make me ramble on. I hope you guys enjoyed this and have (or had) a wonderful Easter!
