Huge Collective Haul

As I said in the video there was actually a few things I forgot to show so I figured instead of just doing another haul I put take a picture and list them here.

d:fi beach bum - Ulta $11.99

Nourish Follicle Stimulator - skinenergizer.com $18.95

John Frieda Go Blonde Lightening Shampoo - Wal-Mart $5.73

John Frieda Go Blonde Lightening Conditioner - Wal-Mart $5.73

Revlon Frost & Glow - Wal-Mart (I don't remember the price)

Prestige My Blackest Lashes - Ulta $6.50

Without totally boring you I figured I should just quickly talk about each product.  

- The beach bum spray is a texturizing spray and I used it in my hair in my "Back-to-School 2011 - Study Tips & More" which you can check out by clicking here.  Overall it is a nice spray, a little drying but it adds a nice "beachy" texture and wave to your hair.

- The Follicle Stimulator is a repurchase, I first showed it in a video months ago and you can watch that by clicking here and I also showed it in one of my favorites and I can not remember which one now, sorry! But I think it is great to speed up your hair growth just as long as you use it constantly.

- I have been talking about wanting to go blonde for a while now and I finally did it! I am so pleased with my hair color and I used the Revlon Frost & Glow and I could not be happier with the results.  I was watching MakeupbyMel's video and she said she used this brand and I tweeted her asking if that was how she got her hair that blonde and she tweeted me back saying yes so I knew I had to pick it up!  I just did it in my hair last night and posted a video, watch that here :P , talking about it on my vlog channel, honeyflower3onthego.  I will do a full video on my beauty channel so keep an eye out for that.

- I used a few different kinds of blonde shampoos and this is another great one it gradually lightens your hair.  I know I just was talking about how much I love the shimmer lights one but I will be using both they just do different things and I plan on doing a video all about blonde shampoos and which ones are best for what.

- I can not remember if I showed this mascara is a video saying I bought it so i figured I would just throw it in this video.  This is the only makeup item I have bought in a LONG time, I am really happy with my makeup collection and do not plan on buying anything new for quite sometime.  I want to use what I have and I have quite a lot.  I only plan on buying foundation because I always need that and currently I am using Isa's foundation I do not have one of my own.

IMATS Haul

Royal & Langnickel

5 piece Pink Cosmetic Travel Sized Brushes

I paid 10 dollars for these brushes but online they are $19.99

The case is very fun and pink is one of my favorite colors.

As I said before I do not travel much so I like to use these brushes for everyday use. I believe these brushes are as high of quality as the companies full size brushes.

Powder Brush - Concealer & Lid Brush - Angled Liner & Angled Sponge Brush - Angled Blending & Fluffy Blending Brush - Paddle Foundation Brush

Royal & Langnickel

Master Pro 150 Tapered Blender

I paid 4 dollars for this brush but online it is $9.99

This brush is awesome. It is multi-purpose and a necessity in everyones collection. I love how it can apply shadow and then nicely blend it out.

The brush is perfectly tapered and the perfect density and fluffiness.

Inglot Cosmetics

Freedom System

The price ranges depending on what shape you buy and how many shadow you want in the palette

AMC 62 - AMC 61 - MATTE 376 - AMC 53 - AMC Shine 31

PEARL 423 - D.S 483 - PEARL 420 - AMC Shine 42 - AMC Shine 07

These shadows have the best color pay off ever. They are smooth and super pigmented. The eye shadows with glitter in them have the glitter nicely blended in, you do not feel the glitter in the colors at all.

MATTE 373 - Brow Powder 564 - I could not get this color out!! - Brow Powder 563 - AMC 63

I thought these colors would make the perfect matte smokey eye! They are pigmented but not chalky at all and two of the colors are made to use for your eye brows but they are perfect eye shadow colors for me :)

H&M

Nudes are very in this season with anything you wear from makeup and beauty products to shoes and eye wear.

I love this shape and color. This pair looks like they cost more than they really did. While I have my Gucci sunglasses I still like inexpensive frames too and I have no problem switching between my pairs.

New Glasses!

I am sure most people did not even know I wore glasses! I think I wear them for a total of one week out of the whole year. I only wear glasses when I have to. Like when my eyes are bothering me and I can not wear contacts I wear glasses, so glasses are more for emergency situations for me.

I have not bought a new pair of glasses in quite sometime, probably about 3 years, and it was about time that I got a new pair.

I was torn between the pair I ended up buying and two others. The one I really loved was black and cheetah but the lady who worked there told me that my eye sight was so bad that the lenses I would need would not work in that frame, so those were out of the picture. The other pair was very cute and more wearable, they were plastic black frames with flower details. But I figured I would go with the one I bought for the opposite reason! These ones were crazy, different, and unique. I almost never wear glasses so why not get a fun pair that I would get bored with because of how I almost never wear them.

Want to see what the other glasses look like! I show them in this video on my second channel, honeyflower3onthego

Higher Quality Videos - Brand New Camcorder

I have been planning on investing in a HD camcorder for quite sometime. I knew I wanted a Canon because my digital camera is a Canon (it is a powershot SD 780 is) and at the time it was one of the best digital cameras Canon made. Now do not get me wrong I love that camera and it is awesome the only problem is it was not the best for video, I mean it is a digital camera so what do I expect, but it worked for the time being and gave me pretty good quality videos. So knew the brand I just needed to pick the model and there are so many different ones out there! The most expensive is not necessarily the best one, it all depending on what features you want. I did not need super fancy features but I did make a short list of what I wanted and I did not want to settle:

- First of course it had to be HD.

- Second I wanted a camera with a great focus, I wanted to be able to have it focus on small print and I wanted to be able to hold something up have it focus and then have the camera focus back on me quickly without it being blurry for more than 5 seconds.

- Third I wanted it to be able 6 Megapixel and while I am not able to explain exactly what a megapixel is I knew the higher the number the better.

I picked out a camcorder a few months ago and it ended up being discontinued so I could not find it anywhere :( I gave up and figured I would just wait till I could pick another camera I liked that was not crazy expensive.

In the last few days I start looking at camcorders again and came across the VIXIA HF S200, it was awesome and I really wanted it. However, when I went to my Best Buy they did not carry it. Not only did they not carry the S200 but they had very few camera out and most of the displays were empty. There was one display with no camera (it was just a sign) that caught my eye, the VIXIA HF S20 on sale for 200 dollars off! I figured that was a better camera and on sale is was less than the HF S200. But my Best Buy only had a used one and I did not want to buy a used camera.

Since there were no other HF S20s in my Best Buy an associate offered to call other stores and see if anyone else had the VIXIA HF S20 in stock and luckily on Best Buy did, it was just quite far but so worth the drive :)

Bottom line, at the end of the long day I came home with a better camera, VIXIA HF S20, it was on sale for a better price than the original one I was looking at, VIXIA HF S200 :D
