Elf x Kitsch Collection and Kitsch Holiday Hair Collection

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

A few weeks ago, I discovered the Walmart I like to shop at had holiday hair accessories from the brand Kitsch. I have see n Kitsch available at the store before, but I was happy to see the holiday collection. The accessories available to purchase was a slimed down version of what was available in the collection, but I enjoyed seeing them.

In addition to the holiday collection, there were accessories from the Elf x Kitsch collection. I was really happy to see them! I wanted to look at accessories from the collection in person.

Elf x Makeup Revolution London Collection

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

In November, I discovered the Walmart I normally shop at had the Elf x Makeup Revolution London collection available. I was really surprised because I didn’t know the Walmart carried Makeup Revolution! Even though the collection was there, the whole entire collection wasn’t. Despite this, I liked what was available for purchase. I took photographs of the in store display and the products with the intention of checking to see what was available at Walmart and what I would need to shop for at a different store. (I was thinking of Ulta Beauty) Since the photographs have served their purpose, and it is the 20th anniversary of the movie, I decided to write a post about the collection that was there.

My Favorite Chain, Big Box, and Department Stores to Shop for Christmas Decor

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Over the years, I have collected a large amount of Christmas decor. Even though I have a lot, my decor collection isn’t as large as others! In my eyes, I have a large collection. Especially ornaments.

Even though my Christmas decor collection is large, I still enjoy shopping for more. I don’t always buy more, but seeing what is new and trendy gives me ideas on what decor is in style or not. Sometimes, if I find something I like and can incorporate into my already existing decor, I will purchase it. Otherwise I still like to browse.

No matter if I am browsing or seriously shopping for something in particular, there are stores I turn to more than others to find Christmas decor. Where I shop depends on how far I will be traveling as some of my favorite stores are harder to get to than others.

As Christmas gets closer, I decided to compile a list of my favorite stores to shop for Christmas decor at. Some are big box stores while others are department stores. Some are known for crafts and DIY while others are well known on social media for their Christmas decor. Still, these are my favorite stores to shop.

Kiss Voguish and Gel Fantasy Holiday 2023 Acrylic Nails Collection

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In yesterday’s post, I talked about the imPRESS holiday 2023 nail collection. I found the collection, along with the KISS holiday collection, in the same display at Walmart. After featuring the imPRESS nails in a different post, I decided to talk about the KISS nail collection in this post.

I saw a lot of imPRESS nail sets available, but I didn’t see many KISS. It seemed like many people really liked the KISS nails more than the imPRESS. Still, I was able to find three nails sets available.

imPRESS Holiday 2023 Acrylic Nails Collection

Published on by essieofwho2 Comments

During a recent shopping trip to Walmart, I found  multiple holiday collections in the makeup section of the store. I was happy to see so many holiday collections available to purchase, so I browsed them all to see if there was anything I wanted from the store.

One of the collection I didn’t buy anything from but did enjoy looking at was the press on acrylic nails. I don’t wear acrylic nails (I use my hands too much for them to stay on and/or look nice) but I enjoy seeing the sets available to purchase. They give me ideas about what is popular in nail art at that time. One of the collections I saw and was very interested in was located on an end cap next to the nail section. It was called Glitz & Glam and featured collections from KISS Nails & Lashes as well as imPRESS and Sally Hansen nails. (I’m not sure if the Sally Hansen nail set was supposed to be there. I saw multiple nail sets that wandered from one section to another. Still, I’m going to address it as if the Sally Hansen Holiday 2023 nail collection was supposed to be there)

Since there were so many nail collections in the display, I decided to break up the posts into different brands. Today, I’m going to start with imPRESS.

October 2023 Collective Book Haul Part 3

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Well, this is the last post in the October 2023 haul posts! I planned on publishing this post prior to Thanksgiving, but those plans changed. Instead, I’m publishing it before December starts!

The books in this haul are either fall themed or are what I think of as potentially fall themed. They include four fall themed romance novels and one novelization of a medieval fantasy movie. Out of all the books I purchased in October, the books in this haul are some of my favorites. When I purchased these books, I felt worried and hesitant about purchasing them. Now that I owned them for over a month, I am very happy to own them. They are now some of my favorite fall themed books I own.

Hard Candy x Wednesday Collection at Walmart- In Store Photographs

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

While on a shopping trip to Walmart earlier this fall, I found the Hard Candy collaboration with the TV series Wednesday for sale. I have many friends that are Tim Burton fans. Because of them, I knew about Wednesday, which is a TV series about Wednesday Addams, from the Addams Family. In the series, she learns to master her psychic abilities at the Nevermore Academy. Four out of the eight episodes from the first season were directed by Tim Burton, who is also an executive producer for the series.

For Halloween 2023, Hard Candy released a makeup collaboration collection inspired by Wednesday. Some of the products I saw in Walmart could be purchased at Walmart only. Others are still available and can be purchased off Hard Candy’s official website.

ProFusion Cosmetics x Casper The Friendly Ghost Collection at Walmart

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I was really surprised by the amount of Halloween makeup collaborations collections available at the Walmart I normally shop at this year. I didn’t know this at the time, but this was a sign that the Walmart would have different makeup brands available for sale there in the future. This is why I saw makeup brands I never saw for sale before or collections I never thought would be for sale there. One of these makeup brands was ProFusion Cosmetics.

Prior to this, the only way to find ProFusion Cosmetics is either at Ulta Beauty, which was a longer drive away from Walmart, or to order them online. (Unless you drive even further away. Then you can find them at other stores as well as other Ulta Beauty stores.) Seeing ProFusion Cosmetics at my Walmart was a surprise. Especially the Casper The Friendly Ghost collaboration collection!

Batman x Makeup Revolution Collection at Walmart- In Store Photographs

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

A month or so before October, I discovered my local Walmart had the Batman x Makeup Revolution collection. for sale. The collection is formally called Revolution x DC Universe by Makeup Revolution. The collection I saw at Walmart was inspired by Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.

Even though the collection has been out for a while, I didn’t publish a post about the collection or the photographs I took of the collection. I wanted to publish this post in October, but things didn’t work out right. Instead, I decided to do it now before Thanksgiving is in full swing.

October 2023 Collective Book Haul Part 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In October 2023, I purchased many books that are either fall themed or would be great for reading near Halloween. Since is was getting near Halloween, I really wanted to find some books that were spooky enough for my tastes.

After sorting through the books I purchased for collective haul posts, I decided to group four of the books into one post. All the books have either a plot that I personally would associate with Halloween or, in the case of on of the books, has a cover that is dark and fits in with the rest of the books in this part of my haul posts.
