'hard candy' gets a new look and dollar madness!

4 words:
Went to Walmart today.

Enough said.

But, I'll elaborate...

Like just about everyone else, I cannot set foot into this store and not buy ANYTHING! I don't know why, and would rather not take the time to find out either. Before I knew it, I was walking out with all this...











...except for the little slippers. (Those were a $1.48 find at Target!)

Do you see what "walking around" will get you?! Sometimes, I think the strategic placing of items far away from each other was meant just for me...
I'm telling you that I was truly looking for something before I came across the new 'Hard Candy' display! The problem is that I can't recall what I needed after the fact. Lol. I was caught completely off guard! I had just given one of their mini palettes to my sister a few days before. It was like the stars had aligned and commanded that I make room for their new products! Now, how could I let fate down and not follow through with this prophecy? I very well couldn't, right?? So, here's what I bought:






I fell in love with their baked eyeshadows! The one pictured above is in 'ab fab' (the blush, also baked, is called 'bombshell'). Based on appearance alone, the eyeshadow reminds me of a few other brands. They're like, 'HIP duos go Sugar Cosmetics in Urban Decay packaging'... Another cool thing? The price, of course! The eyeshadows retail for $6 (a little cheaper than HIP, btw.) and the blush was $7. I haven't cracked them open yet, but I'm thinking they're going to be pretty sweet!

The other stuff in the photo? A Dr. Miracles deep conditioning packet, the November issues of Glamour and InStyle magazines, my Target slippers, a Dove deodorant/body spray duo ($5!), a cute striped tote and my favorite lipstick of the moment...








It's called Shiny Choco-latta and you can find it where they keep CoverGirl's Queen Collection Vibrant Hue sheer lipsticks.
This stuff is awesome! I had some once before and LOST IT!!! 'Twas a sad, sad day for me. Since I couldn't find it, I finally broke down and bought a new one today. I love how sheer it is while not skimping on the color payoff. It's like a gloss in stick form; creamy and shiny, but not sticky. What's not to love?

As far as the "dollar madness" goes, that would be in reference to the tote bag. That's right, y'all! I got that bag for $1! It's not the only item I purchased for $1. There were also some clothes that were marked down, so I picked up two simple t-shirts. Nothing special, thus they aren't pictured. I'll post about the makeup soon; I feel a FOTD coming up!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday...
