TheBodyNeeds eye shadow review

  I said I was going to do another review of TheBodyNeeds for their eye shadow. I got my order in about a week ago and have been using them since, and also realize that I had one of their eye shadows for a while that I go in a swap. Everything I got was on sale or clearance because I hate spending full price on anything. I got the colors:
Lilac matte- soft lilac matte
Golden Copper – metallic golden copper
Tricked- frosted bronze
Pandora- Frosted golden pink
Patience- light baby pink matte
Lolly Luna- pale lavender with a teal duo chrome
Fools Gold- light yellowish gold with pale green pearl

They are all pretty pigmented, the lights one are buildable if you would like them darker. I love every color that I have but Fools Gold is my favorite. That is the one I have had for a long time and always go back to it. They do not bug my eyes in any way. I put them over whatever eyelid primer of the day I use then usually a NYX jumbo pencil. Most of the time I use the white one, Milk, but some days I will us a colored one. I can put them on at the start of my day and still have them on when I wash my face at the end of the night. They do fade as the day goes on, but you can still see what the colors they are, just not as vibrant. They can be a little blotchy and you have to play with them a little, but I really like them and for the price I have no complaints. They have tons of colors to pick from and good prices even when they are not on sale. I may not care for that one lip luster I got but, I really really like their eye shadows. They also sent a sample of another lip luster with my order. It is called Mystic. In the pot it came in it looks like is should be a berrish purple shade, but when you use your brush or finger to put it on there is no color at all though. It is more like a scented lip balm, it smells like berries. It does feel good on the lips and leaves a nice shine, I just do not like there is no color at all. I like tinted lip balms and it would have been great if this turned out to be one.  I have some pictures of the shades, but for some reason the pictures were not working out no matter what type of camera I tried to use. This review was held up a little bit because I was fighting with the pictures.

CVS haul

I went to CVS today because I had a $10 ECB that I had to use before it expired.  I went with one coupon and no plan, but I think I did pretty well.
The first deal I found was wrongly priced CG lashblastlength mascara. It was normally 8.99, but they had a 50% off sticker on the price tag. It was the wrong item, but they gave me half off. I asked the store manager about it and was not going to get it because I felt bad, but he encouraged me to get it. So that put it to $4.50 and I had a $2 off coupon I could use on it.

 Nyx was 40% off this week, so I checked out what they had. I got two items from them. First a limited edition Individual eyes in 001 Super Vixen. This will be my first time using an NYX eye shadow. I love their lip sticks, but hate their pencil eye liners, so we will see about this. I also got their new Plumping Big Bold lip gloss in 473 Full on Fuchsia. The shadow pallet was $4.99 but I got $2 of because of the sale and the lip gloss was $3.99 but I got $1.60 off. The magic red box gave me a dollar off coupon I also used on these products.
                                                        





  I tossed in a drink, .99$, and mints, $2.27, to fill up the $10  ECB. After my three coupons and the sales my total was .15$ for everything. I did not get any ECB back, but this will trigger my $5 ECB from the Beauty Club which I can use next week for my deals. I missed posting about two other hauls because I have been sick, and work has me working like a dog and I have just never found time. I also have three weeks of mail freebies coming up.
