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

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, 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where you able to get your hands on the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush Set?
