Nordstrom Rack Haul
06/01/2013 20:24My daughters and I spend QT with my sister-in-law and niece today and went to Ontario Mills to look for a few birthday and grad gifts. We swung by Nordstrom Rack to check if they had Roxy purses for a graduate. My girls and I ended up going to the makeup section...of course. Last time we were there they had Smashbox, Urban Decay, Lorac, etc.. In addition to what they had last time time, they had a whole selection of NYX Cosmetics. I've come to learn that I'm not much of a fan of their eye shadows, so I didn't even think to browse. Anyhow, I came across one of the few Urban Decay products available which was the Ammo Palette. I've seen this many times at Sephora and Ulta. The regular price is $38 and has 3 colors from the Naked Palette (smog, sin, and chopper). It has 10 shades: smog (bronze), mildew (moss green), oil slick (shimmery black), last call (cranberry/fuscia), chopper (shimmery champagne), maui wowie (light grayish/green), shattered (soft teal), polyester bride (shimmery cream), grifter (pinky purple), and sin (shimmery nude with pink undertone). All shades are shimmery and typically colors I don't go for. I figured for $15 I could break out of my comfort zone a little, right?! The palette comes in cardboard packaging with a mirror and magnetic closure, which I love.
While in line I saw they also had the NYX Black Label lipsticks! I was so excited! I love, love, love these lipsticks as they keep my lips moisturized. They are so pigmented and sort of leave my lips a bit stained. I'm not sure if that is one of the products claims but I love that they do! They didn't have all the colors available but they did have Dusty Rose, which is one of my go-to lipsticks and Diva, which is one of the colors on my wishlist. Lol. They also had Summer in the Hamptons which I purchased for my bestie, Rose Ann. We usually purchase the Black Label's from eBay as we have not yet seen them in any stores...until today! Yippee! The price on these beauties is $7.50 wich is about how much we would purchase them for on eBay. I ended up purchasing Diva and Summer in the Hampton's. I'll be testing out the UD palette as well as Diva! If I can get a decent photo of the look (doubt it) I'll post it. Lol.
Sorry about the lighting. It doesn't really show the liptsticks true color. When you get a chance you can check out the shades on eBay from the person I usually purchase from, betterthancouponz. : )
Have a blessed one!
