OPI Serena Glam Slam Duos @ TJ Maxx

Today I had to babysit my little cousin after he got off from school. He lives quite near a TJ Maxx, so I decided to swing by after I was done. To my surprise, I found Serena Willam's OPI sets for only $7.99! I know TJ Maxx and Marshalls sell many brand name stuff for cheap but it is another thing when the product is something you lemmed for. I remember these sets came out shortly after OPI's immensely popular black shatter. Shatter/crackle was still a rarity so I totally lemmed after the white shatter that was only available in Serena William's duo set. For those that have missed the Serena's Glam Slam set or thought it was too expensive, here is an opportunity to grab one. I am actually gunning for the multi-fleck sparkle (servin up sparkle).

Claire's Dollar Accessory Sale!

Hi, my name is Theresa.
(Hi, Theresa)
And I'm a Claire's shopper.
I know I'm an adult and their target audience are the "tweens". But I can't help it. I can't resist a good deal. I realize I'm the only person without a chaperone in the store. I realize all of this and yet I cannot stop. Will I seek help? No. It's a good deal and I'm not ashamed to be a Claire's shopper at this age! (Preach! Theresa! Preach!)

Claire's Bow Earrings - $1

I love accessories. I rock just about anything, flower hair pins, earrings, dangly necklaces, bracelets etc etc.

When Claire's have their 10 for 10 sale, I always pop in check it out.

• You don't have to buy 10 accessories to get each for a dollar. You may just buy one item for one dollar if you want (most people don't know this!)
• ONLY accessories that are redlined is part of their sale..
• If the original price is under 10 dollars, the final price is automatically one dollar
• If the original price is over 10 dollars, it is an additional 50% off the red-marked price
• Example: 
• Original price is $10.50. It is redlined and adjusted to $5.50. The final price would be $2.25
• Original price is $9.00. It is redlined and adjusted to $4.50. The final price is $1!

• I have bought glasses, hair pins, earrings, necklaces that all follow these rules

TJ Maxx Cheap High End Makeup Sighting (Pic Heavy)

Here's to my first beauty blog post!

If you haven't heard by now, Marshalls and TJ Maxx has been selling many high end stuff for the cheap, i.e. theBalm, OPI, Nicole by OPI, Shiseido etc. I'm talking 50% off man! If you haven't heard about TheBalm, they are a relatively new high end makeup brand situated in San Francisco, CA. You can buy their makeup from Sephora (not sure about Ulta). Their Shady Lady palettes has gotten an A from Tempatlia!

Shady Lady Palette info from Sephora:

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

I'm not sure if they are cruelty-free though. The back of the palettes does say "wear faux fur" and the fact that they are in SF makes me think they are cruelty-free, but you never know! I'll email them directly later tonight and I'll update my post! BTW, some of theBalm makeup has parabens like their lipstains. So if you are trying to be paraben free look at the ingredient list!

I bought two Shady Lady palettes, vol. 2 and 3 so I'll swatch, review and all that jazz another day.

Without further ado, pictures! I'll list the prices I remember and name of the products.
