Awesome Deal @ Kmart: Maybelline Eyestudio!

The Maybelline Eyestudio line is one of those that I had wanted to try since it came out, but always thought the price was "too high" for drugstore.  And, I read so-so reviews about the eyeshadows (Which were the products I was really interested in).
So the last several months I'd just lust over the beautiful shades, because I couldn't justify the $7-$10 price tag I saw at Walgreens and the like.

However, while snooping around Kmart this afternoon, I came across these guys.  Right underneath the Eyestudio display were tearpads for "$3.00 off any two Maybelline Eyestudio shadows or liners".  Then I looked at the prices for both the marblelized eyeshadow duos and the quads.  The quads at Kmart were $5.99, and the duos were $3.99.  Not bad!  What sold me: Maybelline is BOGO 1/2 off at Kmart this week, so I'd get the BOGO deal and the $3.00 off tearpad.

I was still a little unsure of the quality of these, but I decided to pick my luck and see.

I'd read reviews that the pigmentation of the quads weren't great, but I think it was dependent on the color.  Mad For Mauve is really, really nicely pigmented!

(Swatched in same order as the quad)

I'm really impressed with Khaki Craze as well.  The gold, especially.  I didn't expect it to be THAT gold:

(Swatched in opposite order as in the pan, sorry!)

Obviously the best part of this is the deal I got, which I mentioned at the beginning of this post.  Take a look at my receipt:

My total was a mere $5.46 for both of these eyeshadows.  If you have a Kmart in your area, I'd definitely recommend checking it out to see if you can score this deal yourself!  After trying these on my eyes I'll decide whether they're great enough to go back and get some more.  

Hope you're all having a good day!

Drugstore Mini Haul :)

I'm so sorry for neglecting the blog this weekend.  I was away at my boyfriend's parent's house, busy with family, etc.  However, I have some new things to share with ya'll today!  I know I said I was going to try and stay away from purchasing anything until I hit pan, but I couldn't resist- especially when Kmart has Wet 'n' Wild cosmetics BOGOfree this week!  (I never used to even go to Kmart, until I moved to a town that has one within driving distance.  They have some pretty decent sales on makeup on occasion.)
I also stopped by Target last night with my boyfriend, and I picked up the ELF studio line complexion brush.  I love it!

I love Wet 'n' Wild BOGOfree sales- the Lust palette I paid $4.99 for, and then the concealer I paid $3.59.  I got the cream eyeliner and blush for free.  Total it came to only $9.09!  Awesome.  

I'll be doing reviews of the cream eyeliner and concealer for sure this week-  I've gotten a really good first impression from the both of them.  I know there are plenty of reviews online of the Lust palette, but I still may do one in the future for kicks.  

Hope you're all having a good Monday!  I sure am.
