Collective Makeup Haul

Hello Beauties! I have a collective haul of some things I purchased during January from Sephora, MAC, CVS, Stila and Nordstrom. I knew I was taking part in a $50 a month spending challenge this month so I wanted to knock off a few things off my wish list and I also got a great deal on some stuff. At the end of this month I will show you guys how well (or how bad) I did with this challenge. On to the haul, enjoy! 

The goodies

Sephora

This was totally an impulse buy, I don't do these too often though. I'm all for bright colors, I wanted this from the 1st time I seen it in a haul video. I knew I would not be able to leave this in the store once I seen it.

Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette- Mi Vida Loca

 I'll have to do a seperate post with more pictures of the palette and swatches.

Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick - Backtage Bambi

MAC

Usually in-between collections I take the time to get things from the permanent line I need/want.

Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder/Pressed

Painterly Paint Pot (favorite eyeshadow base)

Powder Blush Pan Refill - Salsarose, Peachtwist (finally finished my 1st MAC blush palette)

Pro Longwear Lip Pencil - Kiss Me Quick

#222 Brush - I purchased this from the Nordstrom website, I wanted this brush for a really long time and when I got word that it was being discontinued I got it while I still had the chance. It's no longer on the MAC website.

Stila Love At 1st Blush Palette

Milani

So as you may know at select Milani Cosmetics item are 75% off. I've had my eyes on those blushes for quite some time now and I'm so glad I waited. I got everything in the picture for around $15 and that is such a good deal.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Haul

Hello Beauties! I finally have all the things I ordered during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Madness! I just received the last package from Milani yesterday. I did all my shopping online, I can't say without struggle but I'm sure it wasn't as bad as some of the horror stories I've heard that went on for Black Friday. Now my Mom on the other hand is a Black Friday Pro, she left at 10 pm Thanksgiving evening and returned around 8 am on Friday! I'm pretty sure that's where I got all of my shopping skills from her, but even I couldn't do that! Well let's get to the haul....

I ordered from MAC, Coastal Scents, JewelMint, Sugarpill, & Milani.

MAC technically didn't have a sale (IMO) but they did have free overnight shipping which I figured was better than the normal free shipping or every so often free 2nd day shipping. I decided to check off a couple things off my wish list.

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick - Tea Ceremony

MAC e/s - Club (my camera does this lovely duo-chrome e/s NO justice!)

Coastal Scents, this is where my struggle came in. The had a 50% the entire website & they posted the sale on Thanksgiving. It took me FOREVERRRR to place my order! Due to the mass amount of orders their website was moving so slow & the checkout process took even longer, but I was persistent and I did not give up! I think it was around 12 am that Saturday that I was finally able to place my order. I ordered 12 hot pots, the empty pan palette (free with the purchase of 12 hot pots) and a synthetic flat shader brush. I currently don't have the names/numbers of the hot pots in front of me so I'll update that later.

Milani Cosmetics had 50% off and free shipping, that was a pretty good sale! I didn't go too crazy, I only ordered 4 things.

 My favorite pencil liner - Liquif'eye eye liner in Black

Infinite Liquid eye liner - Infinite

Specialty Nail Lacquer - FX-Gem

Baked Blush -Fantastico Mauve

Flash - You can see the sparkly goodness in this picture

Sugarpill Loose e/s - Hysteric

Sugarpill Pressed e/s - Dollipop

No Flash

Sugarpill, they had a 20% off their website. I never tried any Sugarpill and I thought this was a great opportunity to. I used these 2 for my 2nd holiday look and I really like them.

 Bow Tie Bracelet

Cosmic Fusion Necklace

JewelMint, they had $9.99 for 1st time buyers so I got my Mom to order one piece and I ordered the other. 

Did you get any Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals? Please leave them in the comments below.

Hope you enjoyed viewing!! Thanks and Have a Blessed Day!!

Weekend Haul

For the 4th of July weekend I went to my home away from home, Houston,Tx and I managed to do some LIGHT shopping. I'm still trying to not to shop as much because I'm going to Boston in a few days and I want to save because I'm sure there are some awesome places to shop that they do not have around here, like H&M and a MAC Pro Store. So here is what I got......

All of the items I purchased

Love Pink Planner from VS

I love these planners, this is like my 3rd one. I keep this in my school bag to keep track of assignments, exams, and things to do.  I think they are so girlie and cute.

MAC's Viva Glam Gaga II

My aunt purchased this for my from the MAC counter in Macy's. This wasn't on my MAC wish list but up until a few days ago & I happened to tell her about it & she was nice enough to get it for me while we were out shopping.

HEB grocery had a 2.00 off Revlon Cosmetics so I paid the lipgloss around 3.24 and the nail polish 1.17 which is a great deal because I noticed these things can reach up to $8 at certain stores

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss - Peach Petal

Revlon Nail Enamel - Make Me Mango

Forever 21 Earrings

Silver Bamboo Earrings

Gold Pyramid Earrings

Bright/Colorful Feather Earrings

I am really proud of myself I only got these really inexpensive earrings from there & also a red skirt (not pictured), I didn't want to go crazy because I am trying to branch out from there. I love them, but so does everybody else.

Ulta

Essence Lash & Brow Gel

(I really like my ELF brow gel but it runs out so fast so I wanted to try this)

Essence Extra Long Lasting Pen Eyeliner - Black

(This stuff really lasts, I tweeted about how I swatched it on my hand it it lasted all day, even after applying hand sanitizer, I had to wash it off with soap & water).

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Antwerp

(I really wanted Addis Ababa & Abu Dhabi but they didn't have them, but I WILL find them!)

Hope you enjoyed viewing!! Please leave your thought in the comments below. What did you haul over the weekend? Thanks & Have a Blessed Day!

**Collective Haul & MakeUp Look**

Over this past weekend I did a tiny bit of shopping and managed to get a few items that had been on my wish list for a while now. So I'm happy about that. Also I decided to use a few items I purchased (I know lame right?) to do a MakeUp look & there will be pictures following the haul. 

** My Goodies**

*Betsey Johnson - Earrings & Watch (Purchased from Dillard's)*

These pewter dangling earrings were love at first sight! I love bows, hearts, and keys so these were these are like a triple treat for me. I also needed a new white watch for summer & I though this one was perfect because of the colorful numbers and rhinestones.

The 8 shadows I purchased are as follow:

*My horrid camera does it no justice*
