Collective Haul: Sephora, MAC & Ulta!

Hello everyone! Today I'm here to show you all of the things I have purchased these past few months! Both Sephora and Ulta had a 20% off sale recently and I took advantage of it! The Sephora sale was only for friends and family of the employees but a girl on Twitter gave me an extra code, which was so sweet of her! I believe the Ulta sale is still going on but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, let's see what I got!

Let's first start off with Sephora! I only bought a few things using the code a nice girl gave me, but I'm pretty sure I will be buying more when the VIB 20% sale comes along! What can I say, I love makeup! I picked up the NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base because I recently ran out of it and I needed a new one. This is seriously the best eyeshadow primer ever! If you have oily eyelids, check it out! You'll love it! I also decided to get the Hourglass Ambient Lighting palette. I've heard mixed reviews on it but I wanted to try it out for myself. I've been eying the Josie Maran Winter Dreams Argan Color Collection set for a while now and decided to get it. I'm new to Josie Maran products but I've heard great things about the products, especially the watercolor eyshadows! They look really interesting! Lastly, I picked up the Laura Mercier Mini Caviar Stick Eye Colour Quartet. I love these little suckers! I have two of them full size in my makeup collection and I wanted to get more of them in the colors I don't have! Unfortunately, this set is already sold out but I have seen a six piece set at Nordstrom if you wanted to try them out! I love these cream eyeshadows!

MAC Lippie Haul!

Good morning guys! Today I'm here to show you what I bought at Macy's about a week ago. I know the MAC Playland collection came out a few months ago and I've always wanted to get some of the lip products from that collection. Of course I waited too long and all of the lippies were sold out :(. I decided to hunt down some products and I found them in stock on Macy's website! I quickly bought all the lipsticks and lipglasses I wanted and I also bought something from the new MAC Moody Blooms collection. Here's what I got!

Lip Product Addict Tag!

Hello ladies! Sorry I've been gone for a little bit! The end of May/beginning of June has been very busy for me. Finals, my birthday (I turned the big 21!), summer school...the list goes on and on! Anyway, I was watching a couple of Youtube videos this morning and I came across Fleur de Force's Lip Product Addict Tag video as well as Tati from GlamLifeGuru's video. I love watching tag videos, especially
those that have to do with lip products, so I decided to join in on the fun! I tag anyone who wants to do this tag!

Lippies galore!

MAC Alluring Aquatic Haul + Swatches!

Hey guys! A couple of days ago, MAC came out with their new summer collection called Alluring Aquatic for summer. Let's just say that I went a bit overboard! My package came in yesterday and I immediately opened the box! Just look at the packaging! So freakin' cute! Plus it's almost my birthday so I decided that I should treat myself to some MAC products! Let's see what I got! I'll also show some swatches at the end too!

My April Favorites!

Hello everyone! Today I'm here to show you what products I have been loving this past month! The spring season is my favorite because the makeup I like to wear is light and dewy. Let's get on with the favorites!

February Favorites!

Hello everyone! Today I'm here to show you what my favorite products were for the month of February! For some odd reason, I pretty much wore eye makeup throughout February. I guess I was letting my skin "breathe"! And most of the products are from Maybelline! Maybelline is my number one favorite drugstore brand of makeup! Let's get on with products!

From left to right: Maybelline Eye Studio Quad in Irresistibly Ivy, MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack, NYX Butter Lip Gloss in Strawberry Parfait, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Neutralizer, Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara, Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

The first eye product that I've been loving are the Maybelline Eye Studio quads, specifically the one in Irresistibly Ivy. I love these quads! They are incredibly pigmented and they are super long wearing. I have so many of these quads but this one is probably my favorite! There's a creamy vanilla shadow, a light gold with some orange undertones, a beautiful teal and a dark antique bronze shade. This quad is great for everyday and you can definitely play with some color by using the teal! Love this product!

No eye look is complete without eyeliner and my trusty old MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack does the trick! I have tried many drugstore gel liners and I was looking around for a good gel liner. My friend suggested that I try the MAC Fluidlines and I have been hooked! The black is a deep black and the thing I like about this product is that it doesn't smudge on my oily lids! The product is very smooth and very easy to work with! I can't wait to try other colors from the line!

The one lip gloss that I have been wearing non-stop is the NYX Butter Lip Gloss in Strawberry Parfait! I don't know what I would do without this lip gloss! I'm sure you have heard many good things about this line of lip gloss so I won't ramble on and on but if you haven't tried any of these lip glosses, buy one at Ulta! There are so many different colors to choose from and there's bound to be one you like!

If you have dark under eye circles, you should try the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Neutralizer! I have the worst under eye bags ever and I have tried everything! I'm currently using a new eye cream and so far I'm really liking it (March favorites?). This concealer is really light weight but it has amazing coverage! It blends really easily and I love the brightness it gives me! Definitely check it out if you have dark under circles like myself!

Without these two products, my brows would be a disaster! They're the Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara and the Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown. I recently started doing my brows and the difference it made was unbelievable! The eyebrow pencil is great because it has a plastic comb on one side so that you can brush your eyebrows. The pencil itself is really smooth and pigmented; you only need short strokes to fill in your brows. I love the clear mascara because it sets my pencil and keeps it in place! I've tried the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel and it made my brows really crunchy. The Maybelline on does not do that. These two products saved my eyebrows!

What were your favorites for the month of February?

Collective Haul! Sephora, Rite Aid + Blog Sale Items!

Hey guys! It's been waaaay too long since I've last posted a blog post here, (about a month!) and I truly missed blogging! There's really no excuse for not being on here as much. So much has happened this last month and I do plan on making a July Favorites as well so stay tuned for that! For now, I have a haul to show you guys! I did some online shopping at Sephora, bought a couple of things from Rite Aid and I even purchased some items off a blog sale! It was my first time buying things from a blog/using Paypal and I was so anxious about it! Thankfully, everything went well! Let's get onto the haul shall we?

I got an email saying I was 64 points away from being a VIB at Sephora so I figured why not buy a few things. I bought a Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12HR Wear in the color 09 Girls Night Out. I've heard so many good things about this pencil and I can't wait to try it! I also bought another Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Stick in Amethyst. I have four of these already and I absolutely love them! They're perfect by themselves or as a base for your eyeshadows. Totally recommend these! For the deluxe sample, I chose the Clarins Body Lift Cellulite Control cream. I just wanted to try this out, see if my cellulite firms up lol! Lastly, the product I was so happy to have another one of, is the Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray. This is a holy grail for my oily skin. I recently ran out of this and I was so bummed. I'm so glad I have another bottle!

I went to Rite Aid looking for a new foundation to try. All the ones I own are starting to get a little funky or it no longer matches my face. I noticed the Covergirl Clean Whipped Creme display and they seriously only had four different shades to choose from. It was practically empty! Good thing I found an unopened bottle of my shade, 340. I then realized Covergirl was on sale buy one get one 50% off so I decided to check out another one of their foundations: the Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Makeup. I got the color 842. I've heard good things about both of these foundations so I can't wait to try them out!

I'm super excited about these products the most! I bought these items off a blog sale a few weeks ago and I'm so happy I did! I would totally recommend checking out www.muablogsales.wordpress.com! They have a list of my blog sales going on! I bought a Benefit blush in Bella Bamba, bareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 8.0 in The Finer Things, Sleek Ultra Matts V2 palette, MAC Watch Me Simmer lipstick and MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass! Can't wait to play with these beauties!

What were your recent purchases? Until next time!
