Haul #2

Hello loves!

Well, it's the first day back at work for me and I am struggling through it. I hope you all had a lovely holiday and a fantastic New Years Eve. 

Of course, another haul because I can't control myself. 

As I mentioned previously my mom always gets me an Aritzia gift card for Christmas. Now, any Canadian folk know that Aritzia is not a cheap store so I only was able to pick up three things.

I got a turtleneck (my first one in a LONG time). Also from Aritzia I got a cute lace bralette and a camisole. 

You can't go to the mall and not drop by Sephora. I picked up one of the Gen Nude Liquid Lipsticks from BareMinerals in the shade Swank. This is the first item from BareMinerals that I've ever tried and I have to say so far so good. Becca had highlighters on sale so I picked up one in the shade "rose Quartz" Becca is again another brand I've never tried but let me tell you, this highlighter swatched is stunning and has a beautiful pink reflect!

On to the boring items, I needed foundation and concealer. I picked up another tube of the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer and then a new foundation to try out. I got the Photo Focus foundation from Wet 'N' Wild which I've seen a lot of people rave about so I'm excited to give it a shot and update you guys!

What was your favorite Christmas present?

Drug Store Haul

 Hello loves!

I have some exciting news to share with you before we get into this drug store haul.

I'm so close to hitting my 25 follower mark on Bloglovin and as you know I wanted to do a giveaway once I reached that goal. 

My question for you guys is what would you like for the giveaway? 

Originally I wanted to do a Huda Beauty Liquid Lipstick but there's been so many new things released since then! 

Leave me a comment below telling me what you would love to see for a giveaway.

I got all the above products (not the charmed aroma candles) for only thirty five dollars! Pretty impressive if I do say so myself. The lipsticks were on sale for $3.99 and the lip liner was only $2.99. Hello steal! The hairspray & blistex were just a couple of things I needed.

I was in desperate need of a new shampoo. I've never used HASK products before but the promise of moisture sucked me in. It says its Paraben and Sulfate free but I read through the ingredients and parabens and sulfates still appear and quite high up in the ingredient list unlike the coconut oil which appears closer to the bottom. Say hello to false advertising. Either way I'm willing to try it and see how it fairs. I'll update you guys once I test it out for a while.

{left to right - 1000 Kisses (lip liner), 220 Dusty Rose, 510 Mayfair Red Lady, 700 Nude Delight & 705 Let's Get Naked}

This lip liner I've seen pop up across many blogs so I have high hopes for it. It's the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in the shade 1000 Kisses.

I've never used Rimmel lipsticks outside of the Kate Moss Lasting Finish ones which I L O V E.

Usually, I prefer more of a matte finish where as these are more creamy. Looking at the swatch of Nude Delight I'm realizing it may be a bit to light for my skin tone but we will see. These are all from the Rimmel Moisture Renew range and I'm excited to see if these will turn me away from the matte trend I love so much.

Please leave your giveaway suggestions below!

Mini Haul

 

Hello again.

It's just going to be a quick post today. I came into some of my Christmas money earlier than expected so of course I headed to the mall for a little treat yo'self. 

I thought the limited edition Metal Matte palette by Kat Von D was long gone and sold out every where but no. As I was perusing through Sephora low and behold they had two left so I snatched one up immediately. This was a pretty pricey palette but it's HUGE. I'd say it's about double the size of any other palette I own and  it will take me eons to hit pan on any of these shades.  So far I've only used two of the neutral shades (Oak & Sabre) but I'm itching to get a full review up as soon as possible for you guys!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Kat Von D designs all her own packaging as well and this one is extremely well done and very cool. When you flip the palette upside down it says matte but when flipped the other way it says metal which I thought was a very funky and unique design. 

 

These colors though, I'm drooling over here. There is a great selection of color and neutrals which I really like because with most other brands their palettes always consist of only neutrals or only colors so I love that Kat Von D has incorporated both making this really the only palette you'd need if you were say to travel and the mirror is huge if you like to use palette mirrors. I never do but it's nice to have if I end up needing it.

You're getting 13 matte shades & nine shimmers as well so an outstanding variety!

 

The next two items were from H&M.

I grabbed a pair of leggings with sheer paneling, which I completely bought in the wrong season but oh well. I'm excited for the weather to warm up so I can wear these babies.  The last item I purchased was just a flannel shirt, I think these are a great layering piece and while trying to find an outfit last week I noticed that I had given away all my plaid shirts and I think it's one of those staple wardrobe items so I picked up a new one.
