Sigma Beauty Haul - Essential Kit and Flat Top Kabuki

Hello ladies! I finally made my first Sigma purchase. I have been dying to try out these brushes since every beauty guru under the sun has them. I figured it would help me follow tutorials better and actually make some Youtube tutorials myself (and have these brushes to refer to so viewers know which brushes I am using for each step.) I am beyond excited about my purchase!  I hope you like the pictures!

Sephora "Friends and Family 2012" haul!

So this year Sephora decided to make their annual  "friends and family" sale truly private. They are referring to this sale as the "Employee Appreciation Sale" and only those who work at Sephora receive codes that they may then pass out to friends and family members. I was able to snag a code and purchased a couple things on my wishlist. Sephora has mentioned that they WILL be having a "public" 20% sale for those VIB members. Let us hope they stay true to their word!

Now for the fun stuff! I grabbed two palettes that I have been eyeing. I have noticed that I need more options for my daily eyeshadow and have only been reaching for my Urban Decay Naked palettes. Though they are lovely palettes, that is not okay! Every girl needs variety, right?

Sephora Haul: Benefit The Pretty Committee

After purchasing Bad to the Bronze from Benefit a few months ago I have been really interested in purchasing more kits from them. The value is just amazing since most of the products featured in these bags are full size! I went to Sephora and saw this amazing deal, three full sized products including Bella Bamba blush, Stay Don't Stray, and the Eye Bright for $38. Such a steal. Oh and did I forget to mention you also get a decent sized High Beam as well? Overall I am just beyond happy with this purchase!

Shopping Haul: Ulta & TJ Maxx

Woohoo, I absolutely LOVE shopping and I had an awesome turn out tonight. I caved in and went to Ulta to buy the Naked 2 palette and grabbed a Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Blissful while I was there. I can't wait to use these products! I am going to do a blog post on each when I have time to work with them a little bit. After I went to Ulta I went to the TJ Maxx (my favorite store!) in the same plaza and found some cute items. I grabbed a few shirts, some tan shorts, and black leggings. I probably own 10 pairs of black leggings now haha! I went over to the shoes not expecting to buy any and I found these super adorable shoes for $10. $10!!!!! I just love TJ Maxx. I didn't spend more than $13 on any one article of clothing, I am such a bargain hunter! Do you guys like shopping at TJ Maxx and Marshalls? If you've never been there then I definitely recommend you stop by your local stores! If you like decorating I suggest you go to Home Goods as well.

Well, that's all for now! Thanks for reading!

I had heard a lot of great things about NYX blushes so I picked up a few along with some, get ready for it... MILANI BAKED BLUSHES! I have been going to so many CVS' and Walgreens to find these babies and they don't have then anywhere near me. I was so excited to order them from Cherry Culture.

Collective Haul

Hey hey! So today I have a collective haul to post. I grabbed a few things in the past two weeks and wanted to share my purchases with you guys.

1. MAC Lipstick in Fast Play and Impassioned: I posted these in my MAC haul down below but wanted to add it to my collective haul since I purchased this past week.

2. ELF Blush in Fuchsia Frenzy: I LOVE this blush. I went to Sephora and fell in love with the blush "Angelika" from NARS but didn't feel like spending $27 on one item, so I googled dupes and this one is almost the an exact replica of Angelika. Super excited!!

3. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters in Cotton Candy and Tutti Fruitti: Most adorable casing ever. That's what initially drew me in but I have to say that these lip butters are amazing! The texture is great and the coloring is perfect for a subtle look. I will definitely be doing a review on these soon.

4. Nicole By OPI Nail Polish in One Less Lonely Glitter: I have been eyeing this polish for a while and finally picked it up. Definitely worth the money.

5. OPI Nail Polish in Warm & Fozzie: Of course when OPI came out with their new collection, I had to grab a color. This one stood out to me the most :)

6. MAC Eyeshadow in White Jeanius: Again, posted already. Needed a white eyeshadow and this one does the job.

7. MAC Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle: So after I asked you guys what I should pick up from the MAC store, I grabbed this product! I have been using it everyday, it's simply gorgeous.

8. MAC Skinfinish in Porcelain Pink: Picked this one up at the CCO. I kind of wish I held off since I do like Soft & Gentle more, but this is always good to have as a backup!

9. NYX Blush in Terra Cotta: I heard great things about this blush so I had to pick up it since it is so inexpensive. Really happy with the purchase!

10.  NYX Megashine Lip Gloss in Cosmo: Ulta was having a buy one get one 50% off sale for NYX products so when I picked up the blush I had to find a second item. This lip gloss went with the blush so I purchased it on a whim. I am in love!!! I am so happy that I discovered these lipglosses. Not only are the colors great but the casing is so damn adorable!

So those are the last items that I will be posting for a while. I am going to hold off from buying beauty products until after Christmas (I am going to try really hard). I did one last haul from Cherry Culture because they are currently having their 20% off sale but after that shipment arrives it will be a few weeks before I get anything new. Good luck to me ;) I need to save money for Christmas presents!
Hope you all have a lovely holiday weekend and I will catch you guys soon!

Cosmetics Company Outlet Store Haul

Woohoo!! I finally went to the CCO that is about 30 miles from my house. I picked up a few MAC products and I am really excited because everything discounted 30%! Unfortunately there wasn't too big of a selection, I mainly went there looking for blushes but I ended up leaving with none :(. I ended up leaving with a Mineralize Skinfinish, Eyeshadow, and two lipsticks.

Urban Decay Haul

Hello Lovelies!!

So guess what came in the mail today! My Urban Decay package! I was so happy to see that it was on the road to delivery today when I checked the tracking at work. I could NOT wait to get home to see if my package was there.

When I got home from work I ran to the front door and unfortunately my package was not there yet. I started to get REALLY worried that I had missed the mail man and they brought it back to the post office. After about an hour of waiting, the mail man sneaked (literally sneaked, I have no idea how the dogs didn't bark at him) and dropped my package off. I ran downstairs to open it. Here are the contents of my lovely package!

I ordered the 15th Anniversary Palette and it is absolutely beautiful. I adore every color in the palette, even though I already feel like I have a lot of neutrals in my other palettes. The bright colors are so pretty and bold and I definitely lack those types of colors! I have three other palettes (Naked, Feminine, and Vegan) and this is a great addition to my collection. I purchased it on the Urban Decay website during their Friends & Family sale (which is still going on, hurry up and grab your stash now! You will not be disappointed if you purchase this palette.

 

Along with the palette I ordered those cream eyeshadows that have been on sale for a while now. I bought 9/10 of the ones they have available on the site right now. I was skeptical at first because I couldn't find any detailed reviews or swatches of the colors but I figured for $3 a pop (even cheaper with the 20% off at UD) I figured WHY NOT, any Urban Decay product is going to be worth the money. I have decided that since I couldn't find any detailed reviews I am going to do one for you guys in the next few days! So far I have only used one of them (Moonshine) and it acted as nice base/primer.

So my order came with a free sample and this months (do they change every month? last month i saw it was a lipstick and the month before it was eyeshadow) free sample is a lip gloss. I haven't tried yet but I will be sure to let you guys know how it is.  So that is all for my haul! I know it's not too much but for what I purchased and how much it cost I was just so excited and I had to share. So, let me know what you guys think of the items I purchased if you happen to have them as well! Toodles!!
