Rummage Sale Deals

Heyo!  This morning from 9:00 to 12:00, I was rummaging with my dad and brother.  We went on our bikes because it was a neighborhood sale, meaning that there were a lot of houses selling in one area so that made it very convenient for us.  Hoping to find some good bargains, I dragged my bum out of bed at that horribly early hour and went rummaging.


The first thing I found is the e.l.f. Matte Lip Color in Nearly Nude.  I've been meaning to get some nude-ish colored lip product for quite some time now, and I felt very lucky to come across this.  


Here's what it looks like on my skin and then on my lips (don't worry, I cleaned it before I used it).
It's super pigmented and is exactly what I was looking for.  But I definitely would recommend exfoliating your lips if their feeling even slightly dry because it will stick to dry patches!  Overall I like it very much and it lasted the entire day after I put it on, so that's good.


Next I got these pretty earrings that have a tiger-eye sort of stone in the middle.  One of the backs fell off as I was trying to get it out of my dad's bag after buying it (I found it eventually), so I'm a little worried that they might be too loose.  I feel kind of silly for not checking the backs before I bought it *sigh*.  Well I'll just have to try them out and see.


After that I bought a mirror because the one in my room mysteriously disappeared a few weeks ago so I've been having to sit on the floor next to my body-length mirror to put my makeup on every morning ugh.  I got it for only .50 cents, so I'd say that's a pretty darn good deal!


Lastly, I decided to buy two bath products; Body Luxuries' Sugared Plum bath salts and bubble bath. I took a bath using these right before I started typing this up, so I can give you some insight.  Honestly, I have never seen this brand before (Body Luxuries) and even after looking it up, still have no idea where it was bought from.  I'm not really sure how I feel about the salts yet... they had a slight chemical smell to them, and it makes me feel a bit strange but the bubble bath smelt ah-mazing!  


The bubbles were as I expected, but (sadly) I have yet to find a bubble bath solution that creates bubbles seen in chick flicks and other movies.  So if anyone knows of a high quality bubble solution that creates A LOT of bubbles, please leave a comment below!  It's kind of like my life goal...

Overall I think today was a great day because I got to check off a few things from my "Want/Need" list.  It may not have seemed like much, but it's not normal to find tons of things at rummage sales so I'm happy with what I found.  Tomorrow I'm organizing my room a bit and then biking over to my friends house just to hang out.
