Urban Decay Perversion Mascara Review


Urban Decay Perversion Mascara
Bigger. Blacker. Badder.

This sample came from the lovely Urban Decay website and showed up in my mailbox today,
and let me tell you, I have been anxiously waiting for it to arrive!


I imediately had the need to try it out, of course.
I love it.
It goes on so smooth and dark. No lashes are clumped together. None of them. And it stays forever!
I am in love. This is amazing.
I really haven't found a masacara that goes on as easy as this one does, all it took was one coat and *BAM* amazing lashes.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a good picture of my lashes due to lighting, but this is my new favorite.

The mascara launches on July 7th.
Trust me, it is worth it!

Mini Drugstore Makeup Haul (Target, Ross, Sam's Club)


Hello Gorgeous

Today, I decided that I was in need of some new makeup and desperate for an adventure so I went out and hit some of my favorite stores.
I can definitely say the trip, in 108 degree weather, was so worth it!

Some of these items I have tried since bringing them home, while some I have yet to open. 
I will do some reviews as I try them out.

So now, let's get into the haul!


The first item, well items, I found were at Ross. They caught my attention as sets of Physicians Formula makeup. Each set had an origional value of $20-$30. I got them at a steal for $5.99 each. 

Set #1 includes:
  • Les Botaniques Botanical Bronzer in SunnyBuddy/Bronzer
  • Organic Wear 2-in-1 Bronzer & Blush in Bronzer/Rose
Set #2 includes: 
  • Organic Wear 100% Natural Origion Bronzing Veil in Light Skin
  • Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner in POP - Hazel Eyes
  • Plump Potion Lip Plumping Cocktail in Rose Potion
Set #3 includes: 
  • Organic Wear 100% Natural Origion Matte Finishing Veil in Translucent 
  • Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner in Eye Candy - Blue Eyes

My next stop was at Target for some much needed foundation and concealer. 
I have heard great things about Maybelline FIT Me! and decided it was time to try it out. 


  • FIT Me! Foundation in 115 Ivory
  • FIT Me! Concealer in 15 Fair


I also was able to find a great deal on two Maybelline amazing mascaras... 
Which I, of course, imediately needed to try out as soon as I got home... And I am in LOVE!

  • The Falsies Volume Express in Very Black (I have heard so many good things!)
  • The MEGA Plush Deep Velvet in Purple Velvet
I did not intend to ever own purple mascara, but on clearence for $4, it was a steal and I am glad I found it. 
I currently have MEGA Plush - Purple layered underneith Falsies, and it looks amazing.
Although I am now completely aware of my eyelashes, but only because they are so thick and out there. 
In a good way, of course!


My final stop took me to Sam's Club where I found something that is incredible.
Everyone has been raving about the UrbanDecay Naked palette since it came out and how amazing it is. 
I have found an amazing dupe for it that saves about forty dollars. 
That would be the Makeup Works Glam Perfection Nude Eyeshadow Palette. 
Retails for $13.88 at my local store. 

I did watch a few review on YouTube that have the swatches of both palettes side by side, and let me tell you, that if you didn't know otherwise, you would swear they were the same. 
I love the colors and I am so impressed with this! 

I am happy to be able to share this with all of you and will have some reviews up within the next few days!

Bath & Body Works Haul - Semi Annual Sale!

My name is Melody, and I am addicted to Bath and Body Works.

So of course when it came time for the Semi Annual Sale, I showed up the first day. It is definitely my weakness.




I am a big collector of just about all the sprays that they have, I wear different ones depending on my mood. A few of the things I bought were some I am familliar with and some I have't tried yet.

  • Dark Kiss fragrance mist
  • Cherry Blossom fragrance mist
  • Cucumber Melon fragrance mist
  • Oahu Coconut Sunset lotion and gel
  • Malibu Heat lotion and gel 
  • Island Breeze foaming hand soap
  • Carried Away travel lotion and spray x2
  • Watermelon Lemonade wallflower pack 
  • Wallflower Plug In (not shown, my husband saw it and immediately plugged it in)
I was having a little trouble finding things I didn't already have or needed more of, but overall I am very happy with what I bought. I was able to use a coupon for $10 off of $40 or more and everything was marked down to $4 or less a piece. 
I should probably stay out of the mall for a while or I will be tempted to go back (:
