February Haul Part Uno~

Hey lovelies!

Here's a few hauls I did early this month that I never got around to putting up.

First up, Ulta!

I grabbed Too Faced Natural Face, since I love the Secret to No Makeup version. Smashbox Full Exposure because I love palettes, and Naked 2 so my Naked 1 and 3 didn't feel lonely. I got this all for 20% off coupon, since Ulta is including more and more brands with their coupons. The SA threw in a PTR Wrinkle cream and Neck cream for free at checkout, both are deluxe samples. Sephora should really up its instore sample game, just sayin'

ToykoMilk! I got the Modern Love and Dead Sexy Valentine sets. The Dead Sexy set came with the makeup bag, the hand cream, and the perfume.

Modern Love is a set with 3 different scents, each comes in two vials. You can mix and match, layer, or wear them separately.  It also came with a Kabuki candle, and a Bon Bon lip balm in Iced Green Tea. I also got a free Bon Bon lip balm in Sweet Cream by signing up for email and using the code sweetcream at checkout.

Clarisonic! When I registered my Sephora Purchased Clarisonic at Clarisonic.com, along with activating my warranty, I received a $20 dollar off any $50 purchase code. Clarisonic was also giving a discount if you bought 2 cleansing products or serums, so I purchased the Detoxifying Clay Mask, Deep Pore Daily Cleanser, and Luxe Velvet Body Brush. The Velvet Body Brush is sooo soft, I love it.

Multiple Sephora trips!

I grabbed Philosophy's Popcorn Topping and Ice Cream set, Gucci's Gorgeous Gardenia (3x points!), Shiseido eyelash curler, Korres Butter Indulgences Cheek and Lip color set, Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Wild Rose, Pomegranate, and Raspberry, Korres Greek Yogurt Nourishing Lip Cooler in Raspberry, YSL Babydoll Mascara, Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascaran, Sephora Flatter Yourself Contouring Brush Set, Lorac Oh La Lace Palette, Lorac Little Black Palette,  ToykoMilk Dark Cherry Bourbon and Salted Caramel Lip Balms, Sephora Pro Precision Brush 59, Bvlagri Omni Crystalline (free from scent certificate), Too Faced 3 way lash lining tool, and Sephora Blowdry clips. All the Korres and Lorac products were on sale, since Sephora is no longer carrying Lorac or Korres Cosmetics.

My samples and point perks were Tarte Dollface Clay blush,  Gucci Flora Mirror, Balenciaga Florabotancia, Glamglow eye mask and Youthmud, Dior lipstick in Dolce Vita, Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Mega-Bright Skin Tone Correcting Serum, Flora by Gucci Eau de Fraiche, Living Proof Targeted Repair Cream, and Eau de Cartier sample set.

I still have more coming as well, since I did a big indie haul.

Well lovelies, since I have no idea where to start, if you have a product you're dying to see review, let me know. 

I aim to please.

Beauty Haul! Part 1!

Sorry for the hiatus! I am still trying to get a hang of this blog thing, looking for better lighting, cameras, etc.

Here's a haul for you all!

Guerlain Precious Lights

Guerlain Crazy Pearls

MAC Huggable Lip Color -Commotion, Cherry Glaze, Feeling Amorous?

Dior 5 Colours Pastel Frontages

Samples

-PTR Firm Peeling Gel

-Prada Infusion D'Iris

-Lancome Genifique and Dreamtone

-Gucci Premiere

-Narciso Rodriguez  L'eau for her

-Eternity for Men Aqua 

 Precious Lights Set and Crazy Pearls

I can't believe I found this in stock at Bloomingdales. The Precious Lights set contains the Meteorites Primer as well as the Original Formula Meteorites in Teint Rose. 

I've been using the Crazy Pearls as a blush, it's a lovely pop of rosy color. I think it's too pink to wear as an all over finishing powder on my pale skin. I've been applying with a kabuki brush to the apples of the cheeks, and it's give a gorgeous rosy flush. Not as bright pink as it seems in the container. 

Close up of the Meteorites

 The Dior Pastel Frontages

Gorgeous in pan! I haven't swatched it or worn it yet, because honestly it's too pretty!!!

The MAC Huggables! 

I am addicted to this formula! Too bad it's limited edition. Most of the shades are sold out online, so run to your stores to find these!

This is Feeling Amorous, Cherry Glaze and Commotion from L-R.

Urban Decay Haul

Urban Decay was having a sale on a few of their palettes, so I picked up three.

I grabbed the Fun Palette and the Feminine Palette for $16 each, and the Glinda Palette from the OZ collection for $24.  So this was a rocking sale!  Along with my order, I received a free sample of All-Nighter and their BB cream.


Swatches to come soon!!

Blitz Haul

Hello Beauties!


In light of all the drama surrounding the Sephora Blitz code (being leaked early, some people getting multiples, some being not), I almost hesitated in posting my haul. But I figured sharing my hauls may help some people decided which Blitz bag they want.


 I apologize in advance for the sub par photos, my camera's charger is missing :(

The whole She-Bang

Close Ups

And The Blitz Bags

 Total Haul

- bareMinerals Crystalized Full Face Collection

-Laura Mercier Secrets of Radiance Volume 5

- Nars And God Created The Woman Set

-Nars At First Sight Eye & Cheek Palette

-500 Point Perk-Boscia One Step Wonders

-100 Point Perk Lancome Vissionaire

Samples in

-Perricone MD Photo Plasma

-2 Korres Pomegranate Mattifying Primer (love this!!)

-bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie 

-Tocca Giulietta

-Lacoste Eau de Lacoste

-Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream

-2 Eve Lom Cleanser

-Guerlain Lingerie De Peau 

-Marc Jacobs Dot vial and 4 scents cards (one scent card in each order)

-Ralph Lauren Polo Black (this was a substitute for something I ordered, but in my haul frenzy, I can't recall what my original was)

I admit, I used the Blitz code early, without realizing when it started or that you were only supposed to be able to use it once. I placed my orders the day before, and thus was able to get all four Blitz bags.

The Bags

Detail

Width

The Blitz bags are pretty nice. Not especially the cutest, but a good size for travel. They are woven black in a pleather material.

Holly Jolly Nourishment

My personal favorite. This bag includes:

-Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Petal (I love Sugar Lip Treatments, and I'm excited to try it in Petal, which I would have bought full sized. )

-Clean Original Eau de Parfum

-Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Anti-Aging Cream 

-Living Proof Nourishing Styling Cream

-Urban Decay B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray

-Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm SPF 20 in Nude Glow

-Peter Thomas Roth Oilless Oil 100 Percent Purified Squalane

-Buxom Lash

I love many offerings from Origins, Living Proof, Urban Decay and Too Faced so I'm excited to try these new to me products. I have approximately 300 Buxom Lash samples, and it doesn't do it for me, so I could have skipped that particular sample, but the Petal lippie makes this one my favorite.

Glowing Magic Radiance

This is probably my second favorite, if only because of the Nars primer. Samples in this bag include:

-Escada Cherry In The Air Eau De Toilette

-Lancome Gloss in Love Trio & Brush

-Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Dry Oil Mist

-Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

-Shiseido IBUKI Refining Moisturizer

-Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

-Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Vitamin C Collagen Booster

-Algenist Firming & Lifting Cream

I don't believe I've tried any of these products before, so it's a nice way to sample some new things. The sample sizes are pretty generous as well.

Festive Cheery Endurance

The Bronze winner. Samples include:

-Lancome Definicils (Quite disappointed in this, it replaced the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Genius Waterpoof Topcoat, and I have tried Definicils in the past, and don't care for it.)

-Ren Hydra-Calm Cleansing Milk

-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion-Anti-Aging

-Lancome Tresor Eau de Parfum

-Ojon Color Sustain PRO Fade-Fighter Weekly Conditioning Treatment

-Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick

-Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Dark Spot Correcting

-Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara

Tinsel Twinkle Perfection

My least favorite, only because I feel you get more bang for your buck with the sizes and variety in the other bags. Still a great GWP, and I would definitely don't regret snatching it up. Samples include:

-Bareminerals Marvelous Moxie Lip gloss in Maverick

-Murad Blackhead and Pore Cleaning Duo

-Living Proof Prime Style Extender

-Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal

-Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Dark Spot Correcting

-Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

-Sephora Collection Instant Moisturizer

-Philosophy Living Grace Eau de Toilette
