Drugstore Haul | Theatre Edition

Hello, lovlies!  I'm so so sorry that I have neglected to post anything for quite some time, but I started rehearsals for the musical I'm in and then started school, so I've been quite busy!  I promise I'll post more now-it just took some time to get into the routine of a busier life.

As I mentioned before, I'm in a musical!  I'm in Anything Goes, and it's been so much fun!  We perform this weekend, which is so exciting.  I needed to grab some makeup to wear on stage.  Also, I grabbed a few products that I've been eyeing for a while or just had on my shopping list.

Hair and Skin:
Conair Bobby Pins: A girl can never have too many bobby pins.  Also, these came with a convenient travel case.  Plus, they were having a "buy one, get one free" on Conair hair products!
Studio 35 Beauty Small Poly Bands:  I've been needing tiny, clear hair elastics for a while, and these were on sale, so I picked them up.
Almay Oil Free Makeup Remover Pads: My all-time favorite makeup remover that I was running out of.  'Nuff said.
Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes:  These are great for school mornings.  Just sweep and go.
Conair Foam Rollers:  Oh yes, guess who gets to wear these bad boys in her hair all day at school so she can have curly hair for the show?
Batise Dry Shampoo:  This is my all-time favorite dry shampoo, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere, so I was so happy to see it!  It was a 2 for 1, so I grabbed both the Original and Blush scents.


Makeup:
Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer in 125 Fair: I've heard marvelous things about this concealer, so I decided to give it a try!
Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Concealer in 805 Ivory: I need an opaque base for the stage, and I had almost used up my old stage foundation.  This one seemed to be my best option for a full-coverage foundation, so I decided to go with it.
Andrea 45 Lashes:  I need fake eyelashes for the show, and these looked like they were dramatic without being too much.
Studio 35 Beauty Angled Eyeliner and Shading Brush: I needed an angled brush for my eyebrows (which I've made a goal to be better about-hence the angled brush and clear mascara you'll see later!), and this was the only one they had.  It also has a small shading brush, which I might use for inner eye highlighting.  I wanted to hold out for a Mac 266, but my birthday's not for another month.
Neutrogena Shine Control Primer: This is a new product, and it looks great.  It claims to have a matte finish, which I always need.  Also, I'm ashamed to admit-I've never used a face primer before, so we'll see how this goes.
Rimmel London Exaggerate Undercover Eyeshadow Primer: Another new product.  My Urban Decay primer is running out, so I thought I'd give this cheaper alternative a go.  Hopefully, I'll love it just as much!
Covergirl Professional Mascara in 800 Clear:  Like I said before, I'm trying to be better with my brows.  I got this to set them.

I got a ton of new products that I'm so excited to use!  Hopefully, I can review some soon.  Let me know if you use any of these products or want me to review a specific one!
