A haul from the past.

My family emergency from the last post is still going on, but since I have my laptop with me, I figured I would post a haul of the things I bought last month since the pictures were already on my computer.

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer. I tried it a couple of times and I think this product is somewhat overhyped. I'll give it a few more tries when I get the chance.

Dior Amber Diamond. This highlighter is BEAUTIFUL. When I get the chance, I plan to sell all of my current highlighters and keep this. It's definitely HG material.

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream - No. 23. I like this. The only problem I have with this is that it cakes up way too easily.


The Natural Eye Palette from Forever 21. It's nice. I find some of the colors chalky and hard to blend, but it's not that bad.


Shiseido eyelash curler. If I had the time, I would have returned it... It doesn't go well with my eye shape and I prefer my eyelash curler so much more.

Josie Maran Argan Oil. I like it for my hair. That's all I can say about it for now, but I haven't used it for a while.

Benefit Coralista - mini sample. This was one of the 100 pt. perks. I already own it, but I thought this would be nice for traveling since it's small and compact.

MAC Sheen Supreme lipsticks - Bare Again & Ultra Darling. I like these a lot! They're very moisturizing and I really like the texture.

MAC Satin Taupe eyeshadow. This was B2Med.

Lip swatches:

Non-beauty related:
I bought candles from Candles By Victoria. I haven't had a chance to try them out, so I can't really review any of them.

To my perfume giveaway winners: I have not been home for weeks now, so I apologize for not sending out your prizes yet. I will try my best to send it out as soon as I can, but it's been difficult to do that since I haven't even stepped into my own home.

The I finally caught up with all of my hauls post.

The day has finally come... I've finally caught up with all of my hauls! I have products on the way, but at least everything is up to date. =)

Milani Blushes
- Rose D'Oro
- Berry Amore
- Luminoso
- Fantastico Mauve

Revlon CustomEyes - 020 Naturally Glamourous

They're beautiful, pigmented, and blends nicely onto your skin. They're somewhat shimmery though.

If I were to go on a weekend trip, I'd be happy to just bring this & my WnW Brulee eyeshadow.

MAC Stereo Rose MSF. I finally got a hold of this beauty! Although I bought it on a blogsale for a little over retail, I'm really happy with it. No regrets, here.

My skin is in very bad shape as of now. I don't know what else to say about that, but I decided to go back to something that made my skin looked its best in the past: The Clinique 3-Step Skincare System. My skin has changed a lot, so I'm no longer using the same products, but I'm liking them so far.

Luckily for me, they had a gift with purchase at the Nordstrom counter.

Lady Million Mini Perfume - I used my Beauty Insider points (100) for this.
Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow - Skinny Dip. I was planning to purchase this after I finish my Dangerous Cuvee PP from MAC, but I changed my mind. I will probably end up selling that paintpoint because I find it too glittery for my liking.

LORAC Tie Dye For lipglosses. I was trying to get my hands on this during the holidays, but it was sold out everywhere! When I saw this on Hautelook for a very cheap price, I knew I just had to get it! Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to play with them, but they look so damn beautiful!

That's it for my haul. I will have one last haul post when they all arrive, but that will be my last for a while -- hopefully for the rest of the year.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out my perfume giveaway if you haven't!

MAC Haul

So I've been out of the MAC loop for a while. Not because they come out with a collection every other week, but because I lost interest. I decided to pick up some products from the Fashion Flower line though.

- Lipgelee in Budding Beauty
- Ever Hip lipstick (x2) - I am in love with this lipstick! I blindly bought two because I gave into the hype, but it's beautiful! It's perfect for the Spring and Summertime.
- Groundcover eyeshadow

Swatches:

Sephora Haul - Part 2

YSL Golden Gloss -19 Golden Petal. This gloss is simply beautiful! I love to wear it over Benefit's Lady Choice lipstick.

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette. I've been wanting this palette for a long time, but always managed to talked myself out of it. Well, I decided to get it during the 10% off sale. I haven't used it much, but I will say the colors are very practical for the workplace.

Swatches:

NARS:
- Douceur blush
- Taj Mahal blush

Sephora Haul: Non-Makeup

I bought everything during the VIB 10% Off sale and like I mentioned before, I still need to catch up on all of my hauls!

Clarisonic Plus for Face & Body. This was a Mother's Day gift for my mother-in-law.

GHD. I love everything that came with this set!

Korres Yoghurt Regimen Kit. I got this set mainly for the moisturizer (it was a great deal), but my skin has changed a lot over the past year. It didn't work as well for me as it did last year.

Dior Hyrda Life Pro-Youth Sorbet Eye Creme. It's ok. Nothing special, in my opinion.

Clarisonic Face Brush.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. Really nice!

Beauty Blender Duo Set. I took one of the blenders & cleanser out of the packaging because I needed to wash it. LOVE! I plan to replace one every three months.

500 points perk & samples.

Thanks for stopping by.

- HD Powder
- Eyelash Curler
- Day 2 Night Eyeshadow
- Lipstick - Classy
- Glossy Gloss - Berry Blush
- Minty Lip Gloss - Miami

Sonia Kashuk blush in Sunset. I've been trying to find a dupe for Ripe Peach (MAC) and from the swatches I've seen online, this is almost spot on.

- Revlon PhotoReady Concealer in Light Medium

I got a little lipgloss happy:
- Rimmel Moisture Renew lipgloss - Pink Protect
- Revlon Colorburst lipgloss - Papaya

My skin has changed a lot this past year, so I decided to give these two products a try:

- Beyond Belief Vita-C Night Antioxidant

They were on sale for $5 each at Sally's Beauty Supply!

Last but not least, my mom surprised me with these when I went to visit her a couple of weeks ago. I've never heard of Victoria Jackson before (and neither has she), but I thought it was sweet of her to think of me.




Thanks for stopping by! =)

Drugstore Haul - 03/12/11

All of my posts this month were scheduled. I wasn't sure if I would have the time to post at least once a week, so I wrote a couple of posts whenever I was able to and spread them out throughout the month.

Here are the things I purchased from Target & Walgreens:
- Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain - Twilight.
- Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. It was only $3!
- Aquaphor.
- Wet N Wild 8 Pan Palette - Petal Pusher. They ran out of Comfort Zone. =(

Laura Mercier, Estee Lauder, & The Body Shop Haul


The Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation. I am sad to say that I hated this foundation. The coverage was ok, but it made me look super oily within two hours after application. I also had really bad break outs from this! If you have oily and sensitive skin, I would stay far away from this foundation as possible.

I exchanged it for another foundation:
Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. This is definitely HG status! It stays on all day, doesn't transfer, and I don't even have to touch up throughout the day. Amazing.

~~~~~~~~~

The Body Shop was having a buy 3 get 2 free sale. I'm not sure if they're still having the sale, but it wouldn't hurt to check it out if you can. The Vitamin E Body Butter is HG for my skin, so I took advantage of the sale. I gave 2 to my mother-in-law!

Thanks for stopping by!
