The Body Needs Haul January 2013

My order from TheBodyNeeds came in on Thursday. This was my order from their last sale.







Sinful Blush: Peachy Pink with a Gold Shimmer (This is a mineral dupe for Nars Orgasm. Ive not used the Nars one so I cant say how they compare.)






Party Girl Glitter: Bubblegum Pink with Gold Sparkle EYE SAFE Glitter (color looks lighter and different on the site. It looks more like a hot pink in color but does apply more like Bubblegum pink.)






Heliotrope: Shimmery Pink Purple Pearl (Similar to MAC Pink Pearl)






Irish Dreams: Pale Pastel Green with a Gold Shimmer. (Seafoam Green) My favorite color of the bunch. 






Envious: Deep Emerald Green Frost. It looks like the green used in Blackened Emerald. Also I couldnt seem to find this color on the site and was informed it was discontinued.






Shimmers Teal: Shimmery White that Reflects Teal (Its been cloudy so havent been able to get a reflection pic)





Nude: Dark Beige Matte (Reminds me of the color of a Milk Chocolate smudge)






Blackened Maroon: Deep Blackish Purple with Medium Frost






Heres the Swatches :)

Thoughts: I think its a good bag overall of the quality of products. Unfortunately Argan Oil makes my hair really greasy since I already have oily hair. I have the same hairspray and I must say it lasts a really long time. Im not much of a red nail polish type girl. The eyeliner brush seems too wide to be an eyeliner brush but I cant dismiss it though since I havent used it yet. I do however like trying out different lotions. So I am excited to try this one out.

Cost of Bag: $10.00

We're Off to See the Wizard.....The Great and Powerful...



I decided to use some of my new BFTE colors once again and the colors just reminded me of the wizard of oz. I kept thinking after I applied the yellow, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road.."

Can Mila be any prettier?? ugh.. lol

Other Notes:

Sad day.. Came home from work. Sat down to relax and opened up my netbook and I saw splotches on the screen. I realized there was a crack in it. Good thing though I bought a protection plan. But.. the original person who rung me up for my netbook added the wrong service plan. (Desktop Computer plan not Netbook) Luckily we called the store and I went in and they did a return exchange to give me the right plan. Now I need to call the service plan people again to file a claim. I thought I was going to have to pay extra to get the new plan because the paper said it should have been $59 not the $29 I paid. Well turns out they changed the prices of the plans and it was actually only $28. I got a whole dollar back, score!!. :) Im going to miss my netbook because I have a feeling Im going to have to mail it in to be fixed. :( What will I do with my time?? lol ;)
