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.

Haul | Tarte

Hey loves, just stopping by to share with you another overdue post; this will be the first of many Sephora posts to come but I`m so behind on hauling that I wanted to take this time to catch up before the holidays were over. So months ago, maybe back in September, I was browsing online and saw the Tarte Coral Crush eye & cheek palette. I knew I needed this in my life; especially because it was beautiful packaging and because it was an online exclusive item. I still haven`t had a chance to use it. But it`s absolutely gorgeous. It`s such a great palette for everyday looks as well. It comes with 6 shadows, a blush, a highlighter and a bronzer. Definitely can`t wait to start using this in the upcoming months.

   

Lastly, I finally decided to pick up the Timeless 12-hour lipstick from the Aqualillies collection. I had been eyeing it for ages but I couldn`t makeup my mind if I needed it or not. But I finally broke down and bought it because it was the last one at my location. And I knew if I didn`t get it, I would of been completely devastated. I almost have the complete Aqualillies collection; I`m only missing the Smoother Operator powder. I still have a ton of it at my location and it`s online as well still. I doubt I will pick it up seeing I have a tone of setting powders but I might just give in over these next couple of weeks. If you have tried the Smooth Operator powder; what are your thoughts on it? Would you recommend it?

Haul | Sephora.com

Hey loves, just stopping by to share with you this long overdue http://Sephora.com haul. I swear I ordered this items way before Halloween and I`m just getting around to sharing them with you. I swear I love online shopping; but I hate waiting for things to arrive to me. But online has such a great selection of products that I can never find in store and I`m super happy I finally got my hands on these items. The first thing I had to get my hands on was the Lorac Pro palette. I`ve been wanting it ages; I feel like I`m the last person to get my hands on it. But I am such a huge fan of this brand and I have high hopes for this palette. I also picked up the small size of the Tantalizer Baked Bronzer. I thought this would make a great highlight color for my skin. As well I might be able to use it as all over face bronzer to warm up my complexion during these cold, sunless winter months.

  

The last thing I picked up was the Anastasia She Wears It Well palette. I`ve heard a lot of great thing about her shadows and I wanted to give them a try. I haven`t tried it out yet but they swatch beautifully and have great color payoff. I definitely can`t wait to try out another from this brand in the new year.

 

Definitely keep and eye out for posts and tutorials featuring these palettes in the New Year. They will be great and I can`t wait to show you the looks I come up these. What`s your favorite eyeshadow palette?

Haul | Sephora

Hey loves, just wanted to stop by and share with you somethings that I picked up from the Sephora Collection. I`m really starting to love the Sephora Collection products and I can`t wait to get my hands on it so I can try out more things. The first thing I picked up was the Desert Sunset Eyeshadow and Blush palette. I picked mine up on sale for $11 I believe. It was definitely a great but; it comes with 12 shadows, a blush and a bronzer. You can definitely create a lot of beautiful looks with it; from everyday to smokey eyes.

   

The next palette I picked up was the Black Magic. It`s the same size as the previous palette. It comes with another great selection of colors and none of them are a repeat from the other palette as well. The only difference is that this one comes with 2 blushes which is a plus for me.

   

Then I decided to pick up 2 of the Outrageous Prisma Chrome shadows. I previous only had two in my collection and I adore them. So once I saw these online I had to get the colors I already didn`t own. So I picked up Outrageous Metallic Bronze and Outrageous Metallic Grey.

 

The last two things I picked up were the Flirt-It Lash Duos. I honestly don`t need anymore lashes but these were on sale so I couldn`t pass them up.

 

I`m definitely going to work on creating looks using these items and featuring them here; as well as Instagram. So keep an eye out for those upcoming posts.

Haul | Sephora

Hey loves, just wanted to share with you this quick haul from Sephora. Recently, I`ve fallen in with the Sephora Collection so I`m always picking up things from it. A couple or weeks ago I picked up two shadows. The first one was Dying For Shoes. Which is such a pretty darken plum color. It would be perfect for smokey eyes or in the crease. Then I picked up Girls Night Out. I mainly got this one because of the name but it is a really pretty gold shade. I feel like these two would actually pair really nicely together as well.  

While in store I was also able to pick up the Urban Decay Greed Eyeshadow Primer Potion. It was on sale for $12 which was a steal. I picked up a new pencil sharpener. And lastly, I picked up the Sephora Color-proof Eyeliner in Turquoise Glitter; which is waterproof. I picked this up because my best friend was wearing it and it looked fabulous on her.

 

I will definitely be doing swatches and reviews on these products on a later date. Hopefully it will happen before the new year. What`s your favorite brand sold at Sephora?

Haul | Sephora

Hey loves, just wanted to stop by real quick and share with you some new goodies I recently picked up from Sephora. Lately I`ve really into clearing up my skin so I finally decided to buy some new things that would help with that. 

   

 

The first thing I picked up was the Jack Black Beard Lube. This stuff is so amazing for shaving your legs! Once I run out I`m definitely going to repurchase it. Next I picked up the Sephora Purifying Cleansing Gel. I picked this up because I`ve heard a lot of good things about it and it was on sale as well. Next I picked up Korres Wild Rose Daily Brightening & Refining Buff Cleanser. I`ve been using this for months and I finally decided it was time to purchase it. The last thing I picked up was the Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream. This is my favourite moisturizer hands down and it leaves my skin feeling amazing. Definitely going to be doing reviews on these items once I get a chance to try them out for awhile. Have you picked up any new skincare items?

Haul | Sephora

Hey ladies, I just wanted to share with you the items I picked up during my last 2 shopping trips to Sephora. The first time I went I was looking for the new NARS Blush in Seduction but they didn’t have it in store yet. So seeing I didn’t want to leave emptied handed so I picked up the Tarte Lash Curler set. As well as the discontinued Sephora Fan Brush. On my second trip, I was beyond happy to find that Sephora had finally gotten the NARS Blush in. I’m so happy that I was able to get my hands on it. It’s a part of the Spring ’13 collection but it is a permanent item from what I can tell. I’m loving it and I can’t wait to wear it and create FOTD’s for you beautiful ladies. Are you ladies planning to pick up anything from the NARS Spring collection this year?

 

 

Swag Shoppin | Sephora

Hey ladies, a few weeks back Sephora had sent out a coupon for VIB members that if you spent $50 you got $15 off. Seeing that I wanted to use this coupon and they finally had the Makeup Forever Holodiam Powder in 303 back in stock. I thought it was the perfect time to use it. I also picked up my first NARS Blush in Amour. I’m super happy that I got this one because I’m not a fan of blushes with shimmer in it and this one has none. I can’t wait to see how well this blush applies and maybe I will add more NARS blushes to my collection.

 

 

 

 

 

What’s your favorite product from NARS?

Swag Shoppin | New Brushes

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by and share with you the new brushes I recently picked up from Sephora. Lately, if you have noticed I’ve been buying alot of brushes. I already have alot of brushes in my collection but I want to give higher end brushes a try as well. Recently Sephora discontinued their professional line and introduced a new line of brushes. I’m haven’t really looked into the new brushes but the old I had been wanting a few of them for a while. So seeing that they are all on sale now I was able to pick up 4 of them to try. The ones I was able to get my hands on were:
- 45 concealer
- 58 tapered foundation
- 23 angled eyeliner
- 12 shadow



I still want to grab a few more but I think I might have to order them online but I will keep checking back at my Sephora’s to see if they get or have any of the other ones I want to try. Have you tried the Sephora Professional Brushes; what are your thoughts on them?

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you the new goodies, I recently picked up from Sephora. I went in to pick up the Tarte Fantastic Foursome: 4 piece Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush Enthusiast Set. This set included the colors Angelic, Fantastic, Magic and Stellar. I’m super excited that I was able to get my hands on this set; I’ve been wanting to try these blushes for ages and I can’t wait to give these a try. Lastly, I picked the Make Up Forever Holodiam Powder in 302. This product reminds me of MAC’s Blue Brown Pigment and I picked it up because it’s beautiful and limited edition. There is another Holodiam powder t hat I want to pick up but I have to order it online so hopefully when I do get a chance to do that it will still be in stock.

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by real quick and share with you what I recently picked up from Sephora. I honestly, stopped in looking to buy a bunch of things but nothing really caught my eye; that’s what usually happens. I really wanted to try out something new from Makeup Forever but I wasn’t sure what to get. I decided to go with the travel size of the HD Powder because alot of people rave about it. I haven’t used it yet but I can’t wait to give it a try. Hopefully it doesn’t come off ashy on me.

 

 

 

What are your thoughts on the MUFE HD Powder?

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you the 2 items I picked up from Sephora recently. My birthday was the beginning of August and I went and got my VIB birthday gift. This year it was the Fresh Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo. In this mini set it comes with the Mini Sugar Lip Treatment and the Mini Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment. I’ve never tried Fresh products so I thought this would be a great way to see how I liked them. As well while waiting in line to get my gift I picked up the travel size of the Urban Decay De Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray. Lately, I’ve been noticing I’ve been alot oiler and I want to find something to help me control the situation. I saw that alot of people on youtube liked this product so I thought I would pick it up to give it a try. I haven’t used it yet; seeing that I’m currently trying out the MAC Oil Control lotion. But by the end of September I’m hoping I will finally get around to giving this a try.

Hey ladies, I recently stopped my Sephora to grab another one of my Clinique moisturizers and while there I saw the 3 step system and decided to grab it. I remember when I had my interview with that company a couple of weeks ago the lady told me that this set works amazingly and since then I wanted to try it out. So I finally picked it up. I also picked up the Smashbox Complexion Perfection Kit in Dark. And honestly, I’ve used it a couple of times now and I’m in love with the finish it gives my skin. The manager that helped me was completely right and I don’t know how I won’t buy a full size of these products once I run out. Lastly from there I picked up the Benefit They’re Real Mini Mascara. I heard alot of good things about it on youtube and wanted to give it a try.

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by real quick to share with you the new eyeshadow I picked up. I had $5 left on the gift card that I had gotten for Christmas. And I was looking to see what they had on sale and I found this really beautiful blue shadow from the Sephora brand. It was on sale for $5 so I only had to pay the taxes. The color is Dreamy Blue. I can't wait to try out this color.

What do you think of the Sephora brand shadows?
