APRIL SEPHORA HAUL!


Hello Lovelies!

It's always a good day when there is a haul!! I don't know about you, but I am OBSESSED with Sephora! It is my go to cosmetics store to shop! Sadly, there is not  a Sephora store near me, so I do my shopping online. There is always an up to shopping online and but there is also always a low to shopping online. 
For me the plus of online shopping is, I seem to save more money that way because I don't have all of these amazing products physically in from of me so I don't buy everything in sight.
The low to buying online, is even if you look up swatches online, you never know exactly what color the product is going to look like on yourself, especially foundation.

Here are the items I purchased: 


Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Brightening Make Up in Ivory.
Sadly this purchase was a low because it is too dark and orange for my skin. 
 

bareMinerals Bareskin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation in Bare Porcelain 01 RTV $29
This foundation was as well to dark and orange for me =/ also after using it my husband commented that it had a not so great smell. 


Kat Von D Everlasting blush in Essex (dusty rose) RTV $25
This is my first blush from the KVD line and I absolutely love it! I have to use a pretty light hand with my brush when using this because it is so pigmented. Kat Von D just continues to impress me with her line, the packaging is cute and the product is great!  


 Kat Von D Autograph Eyeliner in Pure Amor (Matte Jet Black) RTV $16
I usually don't use liquid liner but I have been wanting to switch up my liner a bit. The brush on this makes it easy to flick out and get a nice winged liner look.


Beauty Blender + Solid Cleaner RTV $25
The Beauty Blender is my go to device to use to apply my foundation, it definitely applies my foundation almost flawlessly.  


Micro Mini Beauty Blenders RTV $17.95
I saw these and just had to get them because they are so tiny and adorable. I don't know why but when I see mini things I have to get them, it is a weird addiction I have haha That is why beauty subscriptions work so well for me! These are so great for applying concealers, especially for under the eye! 


 GlamGlow YouthMud Tinglexfoliate Treatment Mini 0.5 oz RTV $19
I've been wanting to try this for awhile after hearing so many great reviews on it. Personally I didn't like it, but I only used it one time because it burned my face.


Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara RTV $10
I absolutely love this product! I not only use it on my bottom lashes, but I also use it on my top lashes after I prime them to help separate my lashes before using my main mascara. 


 Shaveworks Get Smooth Mini Duo RTV $10
I actually got this for my husband for shaving his face, he says that he really likes it.


 Rosebud Perfume Co. Strawberry Lip Balm RTV $7
This tin is really big! The balm smells so good and it smooths my lips really nicely! When I saw it, I automatically had a flashback of this chapstick my aunt used to have when I was younger and purchased it solely for that reason, but after using it I will purchase it again because it is a great product!


 Sephora Express Cleansing Wipes (10 wipes) RTV $4
 Honestly, these wipes weren't that great and definitely not worth the price for only 10 wipes. I would rather just use drugstore wipes.


 F.A.B. Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration Mini RTV $12
This is another product I have heard great reviews on, after trying it I learned that I can only use it in my super dry areas. If I use it all over my face, I will get break outs.

 Even though I definitely had a few misses with items in this haul but overall I am happy with it! I will definitely be purchasing more KVD items in the future and recommend them to others, especially the blushes!

FOTD / EOTD Featuring the Lorac Mega Pro Palette!

Hello Lovelies!!
I purchased the Lorac Mega Pro Palette a couple weeks ago and wanted to show you a look that I recently did with it and give you a review of what I thought of the shadows. If you would like to see all the swatches of the Lorac Mega Pro Palette you can find them in my swatch post, HERE.
My EOTD (Eyes of the day, or should I say eye lol)
Colors Used
Lid: Orchid
Outer V & bottom lash line: Merlot
Crease: Mulberry
Inner V and bottom lash liner: Blush
Brow Bone: Opal







The eyshadows picked up on the brushes nicely and glide on great, as well blend really easily. There was a bit of fallout, but it wasn't very bad. I am really liking the Lorac Mega Pro, and Lorac eyeshadows in general! I am enjoying them more than my Urban Decays! I would definitely suggest buying the Lorac Pro Palettes or if you can find a Mega Pro Palette for a decent price (they are sold out) I would snatch it up!
