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!

Mini NYX Haul!

Hey guys! Today I'm here to show you a mini NYX haul I purchased online at Ulta! I don't have a lot of NYX products and since I had some points to redeem (over $9!), I decided to purchase some of their products! I'll have swatches at the end!

From right to left: NYX blush in Apricot, NYX Butter Lipstick in Pops, NYX Butter Lipstick in Little Susie, NYX Butter Lipgloss in Tiramisu

I was so excited to try out the new Butter Lipsticks! I've worn them both once and they feel amazing on the lips! The blush is so pretty too! I believe Apricot is a new shade in their blush line so I can't wait to use it! I have so many Butter Lipglosses and I decided to get an everyday nude color. Tiramisu looks perfect! I'm so happy with everything! Now onto the swatches!

I love everything that I got! These products are also perfect for spring! Can't wait to play with them more!

Ulta Haul!

Good evening everyone! Today was incredibly exciting for me! Why?! Because I went inside an Ulta for the first time ever! I was shocked at how much stuff they had! The closest one near me is 30 minutes away. I wish there was one in my hometown! Let's get on with the goodies!


I have never tried any NYX products, ever! So I decided to try out a couple of things. I got two eyeshadow trios that were on clearance and a cream blush in Boho Chic. Can't wait to use these!


I'm so excited about these brushes! I've heard nothing but good things about the Real Technique brushes! I got their powder brush, stippling brush and eyeliner brush. Super excited about these!


Last but not least, the one product that made my jaw drop to the floor when I saw it: the Urban Decay I ♥ NYC Books of Shadows III palette! I couldn't believe my eyes! I've never tried any UD eyeshadows so I'm really excited about this palette! Plus, $39 is a steal

I had an amazing time at Ulta! I need to go there more often!

Until next time,
Kathleen
