Game of Thrones Funko POP Haul!

Today I'm going to share my Game of Thrones Funko POP collection with you! Most I got from the Toy Fair I went to awhile back (read my post here). I had already owned Joffrey Baratheon, Tywin Lannister, Ygritte, and Tyron Lannister (battle version). The others are ones I had a hard time finding in stores and online for a good price.

Ned Stark: Paid $10
Khal Drogo: Paid $8.60
The Hound: Paid $8.60
Jon Snow: Paid $8.60
Robb Stark: Paid $8.60
Cersei Lannister: Paid $10
Daenerys Targaryen (wedding dress): Paid $8.60

I know how difficult it can be to locate an purchase Funko POPs in good condition at a good price. The reason Ned and Cersei are $10 instead of $8.60 is because I couldn't find a good paint job at the cheaper stand.

Barnes and Nobles usually has a great selection of Game of Thrones Funko POPs but they are always in bad condition whether is is their box or paint job. They also do not offer the best deal. I have had some luck with Barnes and Noble but I have other means of getting my POPs.

I got the ones listed from a toy show in my area. I have also had luck at Hot Topic. I have also seen them on sites like Amazon and Ebay.

I have never tried the HBO Store but it looks very promising. They also have sets and collections available on there at a discounted price.

I have full intentions of finishing this collection so I think I will try ordering from the HBO Store. I think I am too far along in my collection to take advantage of the sets but I hope some of you can. Thanks for reading! ~Alissa

Don't forget to take a look at my boyfriend and I's Funko POP Pinterest board!

Haul | Sally Hansen, Revlon, Too Faced, Malani, and Daiso

Over the past month I have collected some beauty products that I am really excited about and I would like to share them with you.

The first is a bunch of gel nail polishes from Sally Hansen and Revlon.

I'm really interested in the idea of a gel manicure without using a LED light. I have started putting these polishes to the test so you can expect a review soon. The Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy shades are All In and Hot Hand plus the Diamond Top Coat ($5 each at Target). The Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is in Style Maker ($14 for the pack at Target).

I also picked up some lashes from Daiso, a Japanese discount store ($1.50 each). I was searching for the Revlon lash glue for a long time but I settled for the Duo Lash Adhesive in Clear ($5.99 at Ulta).

I picked out these natural looking lashes that look very different so I can experiment with different looks. I have never used false lashes before so I will be posting my experience with them.

My boyfriend was so sweet to buy me this Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings Collection ($20 at Ulta). I was mostly interested in the Chocolate Soleil Bronzer, the Better than Sex Mascara, and the Shadow Insurance.

This kit was a great value at Ulta! There were still a bunch when I was there so if you want it go and get it.

I was also looking for these gems from Malani. I have an obsession with brown eye shadows and I have been wanting to try a blush in this color.

The Baked Blush is in Delizioso Pink ($7.99 at Walgreens) and Gel Powder Eyeshadow is in Bella Bronze ($3.99 at Walgreens)

It's not often that I buy makeup but I do my research when I can. I have high hopes for everything I bought here and if there is anything worth mentioning you will hear about it again.

Thanks for stopping by! ~Alissa

Spotted! | LORAC Skinny Palette

If you've been watching Jen Form Head to Toe then you have seen her rave about the LORAC Skinny Palette that she found at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale a month or so back. Since then, it has been unavailable on the Nordstrom website.

To me, it seemed like a great deal that was a once in a lifetime offer but I found it! It's on Hautelook right now for $15! And there are three different shade selections! There is nude version Jen talks about as well as plum and navy! (The LORAC site and Amazon have the palette in navy and nude but not plum.)

The Hautelook website says that the palettes are originally $133 which sounds ridiculous but I wouldn't worry about that. I don't know if these palettes are limited edition so I would jump on this deal. The website says the event ends on 9/5/14 at 8am Pacific but there are limited quantities and items this hot tend to sell out quickly.

Just some info and tips in case you haven't used Hautelook before:
Hautelook is run through Nordstrom Rack. It's not some random site so don't worry.
They have these limited time deals called "Events" where they sell items at reduced rates.
You have to have an account to look at events.
There are always great makeup and clothing deals.
They also sell stuff for babies, men, and home.
You can buy things from different events at once but they might ship separately
They only allow you to keep things in your shopping cart for 15 minutes so you have to work fast.
Free delivery is given after you spend $100
Delivery usually takes 2-3 weeks.
You can return items to Nordstrom Rack.
Make an account to be notified daily about events.

Here is my referral link if you want to use it. There is no Ebates for this site but make sure to use coupon codes if you can find them.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you can take advantage of this deal either on Hautelook or at Amazon or the LORAC site! ~ Alissa

It has almost everything you can find at any drugstore but online at one site. They also have a really cool international beauty section.

I have linked to Drugstore.com in other posts so if you saw anything that you wanted but can't find at your local drugstore, here is your chance! They have a lot of ELF's recent limited edition Disney princess stuff and other limited edition collections.

The sale also includes jewelry, nail stuff, contact lenses, acne care, etc. There should be something for everyone so stock up on your favorite moisturizer, sunscreen, bronzer, and shaving cream from the comfort of your computer chair.

Enjoy the sale before time runs out! Remember there is no coupon code for this sale. It is applied at checkout. Make sure to check the exclusions before shopping! Also, check out what other promotions they have (like free shipping) to see if any of them stack with your order! Always start at Ebates when shopping online for cash back on your shopping trip.

Happy shopping! ~ Alissa
