Haul | Sephora

 Hey loves, I'm finally back with a new post. I haven't posted a haul in so long and I wanted to share with you the goodies I have picked up over the last few weeks/months. I stopped by Sephora and did a little damage. I picked up 3 new eyeshadow palettes. The first one I picked up was the Smashbox Soft Box 2 Photo Op Eye Shadow palette. It's a great neutral palette great for everyday wear. It was only $23 and the quality is amazing. Definitely can't wait to feature it in a post/tutorial in the New Year. 

   

 Then I picked up the Makeup Forever Artist Palette. This palette happens to be the first time that I've purchased any of this brands shadows and I'm super impressed by the quality. It's a great palette for the Fall/Winter months. If you can still get your hands on it, I would grab it; you won't regret it at all! 



The last palette I picked up was the Tamanna Dress Your Face from Anastasia Beverly Hills. This is another great palette for Fall/Winter. Definitely love this palette, I wish I had a chance to pick up Amrezy and Mya Mia palettes. Fingers crossed I will get one of them soon!

 

The last things I picked up were the Hourglass Opaque Rouge Lipstick in Canvas. I picked it up in the travel size form, just because I have way too many lip product. Then I picked up the Too Faced Melted Kisses holiday set. I've been dying to try these and I'm so happy that I got this; it sold out so quickly. So if you can get your hands on this kit still, definitely give it a try.


Stay tuned for future posts on!

September Lipstick Challenge

Hey loves, just wanted to let you know I will be starting a lipstick challenge for September. I have a serious amount of lipsticks that I never wear and I should. I thought that challenging myself to wearing a different color every day would help me rediscover some lost treasures in my collection. For the month of September I will be featuring a different high end lip color each day. If I`m able to make it thru the month of September then I will be doing it again in October but featuring my MAC lipsticks. If you want to join in with me on this challenge, feel free! I will be posting it daily on Instagram, Mizzshake if you aren`t already following me. As well on my Facebook and YouTube channel. If you choose to join please use the hash tag septemberlipstickchallenge so I can see all the lovely colors you guys are rocking!

Haul | Alluring Aquatic

Hey loves, just wanted to stop in real quick and share with you the goodies I picked up from this MAC summer collection. Originally I wasn`t planning to get anything from this collection but when I went in store and saw them, I just fell in love. I didn`t end up going too with this collection like I usually do. I only picked up 2 of the extra dimension eyeshadow; the ones I grabbed were Legendary Lure and Sea Worship.

   

I wanted to grab a few on the lipsticks but I only went with Goddess of the Sea. I had to have this one is purple and I love purple on my lips. I also picked up the Half-Red lip pencil, I figured it would work great with a lot of the lip colors that I currently have in my collection.

 

Lastly, I picked up 2 brushes. I picked up the #233 eyeshadow brush to use with the extra dimension shadows. And I got the #127 face brush so I could use it with all my extra dimension skin finishes.

   

This collection definitely has one of my favorite packing in a long time. I loved that it was textured and was such a gorgeous aqua shade. Did you get a chance to pick up anything from this collection?

Haul | MAC Pro

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you a way over due MAC Pro Haul. I think I ordered these items back in June/July and I`m finally posting about it. The main reason I placed this MAC order was because I wanted to get my hands on the Silver Dusk Iridescent Powder/Loose. This item has been discontinued and I couldn`t pass it up. I already own the other color that it came in and I love it. So I definitely wanted to get my hands on it before I couldn`t anymore.

   

Next I picked up 3 pigments, I`m pretty sure they are limited edition from a Spring collection but I`m not 100%, but I needed these in my life. The colors I got were Chartreuse Bouquet, Lily-White and Pink Pearl. They are such lovely Spring/Summer colors. I haven`t used them yet but I can`t wait up incorporate them in makeup looks over the next few months. Especially now seeing I have slot of more free time. I also picked up the Eyeliner Mixing Medium so that I could use the pigments I have in my collection as liners. Thought it would be great cause I love liner over eyeshadow and it would help me get more uses from my pigments.

   


Next, I finally repurchased my MAC blushes that got stolen a few years ago. I originally only had 3 out of the 4 colors but I wanted to try a new color. These blushes you can only get online I believe but you might be able to get them at a pro store but I`m not 100% sure; seeing there isn`t one any where near me. But the colors I picked up were Azalea, Devil, Rhubarb and SalsaRose. They are all such beautiful colors; but I can`t wait to start wearing Rhubarb once it hits Fall.

   

The last 2 items I picked up were lipsticks. I picked up the color Glam which is a Matte lipstick. I got it because it was apart of the Request collection and I thought it would be a gorgeous red for Fall/Winter. And the other one I picked up was Peachstock. I`ve been eying this color for years; since the Liberty of Lodon collection. I finally gave in and added it to my collection. I`m not a huge fan on nude lipsticks but I thought it wouldn`t be a really nice one to compliment my skin tone.

 

I have definitely been slacking with my haul posts but I`m going to work on catching up on them. So I can share with you guys all the amazing things I`ve picked up since I went MIA. If you have any recommendations for some shadows or brushes, please leave them in a comment down below. I would love to start filling up the 2 palettes I have and to try out some new brushes as well.

Haul | Sephora

Hey loves, I haven`t done a haul post in such a long time. But I wanted to share with you the goodies I picked up a couple of weeks ago from Sephora. I`ve been trying to slow down on my spending; seeing the princess starts kindergarten in a couple of weeks. And my makeup collection is getting out of hand at this current time. But I couldn`t resist these new items out. The first things I picked up were the Lit Cosmetics No Glitter No Glory Holographic Kits. They released 3 different sets and I had to get them all. The colors I got were: Disco Diva, Rich & Famous and last but not least Superfly. I`m way to excited to use these. I even finally cleaned my eyeshadow brushes so I could bust these out in a get ready with me video or face of the day post. So definitely look out for a post featuring these items.


   

 The last few things I picked up were from the Sephora collection. I picked up 2 new brushes. The first one is the 57 Pro Airbrush Concealer. This brush is so amazing for under eye concealing. Especially when you are going for that Kim K highlight! I also picked up the 132 Precision Contour brush. I picked it up because it was on sale for $19 and the original price was $42 or so. I thought it was a great deal. Not 100% how well it would work for contouring but I can`t wait to use it and figure it out. The last items I picked up were 2 of the Full Action Mascara from Sephora in the color Lagoon. I`ve been eyeing these mascara for months and I`m happy that I waited to pick them up. They went on sale for $9 and I was lucky enough to get my hands on the last ones in store. Definitely love the color of these mascaras. They have great color pay off. They are going to be so much fun to play with during the Fall/Winter months.

 

Definitely look out for future posts featuring these items. And for more upcoming hauls.
