Pay Day Haul =)

So yesterday I went shopping =). I didn't buy too much makeup since Mac's Friends and Family sale is coming up next week and you can get like 25% off everything. I did get 2 things though because one thing is limited edition and I didn't want them to run out...the other I just wanted, haha. So below is all my Lush, Mac, and Victoria's Secret stuff...Enjoy!
I also have a video up on YouTube about my haul, so check it out if ya want, too =)
So first are my lipsticks from Victoria's Secret. They still had some of their makeup 75% off, so these lipsticks were only $3!! I really like their lipsticks because they are very smooth and feel very nice.
First was a color called Limelight. It's a very pretty Cranberry color. It's a little darker than I usually go for, but it was just too pretty to pass up! Especially for $3.


Next was Kiss Me, a gorgeous pink color! I can't wait to try it out soon.


Next stop was Lush where I HAD to get a big chunk of Rockstar...it's so amazing! I also got a sample of Porridge. Some of the gurus on YT have mentioned that it can be abrasive, but I wanted to try it out. The woman at Lush said it's really good to use before and during shaving.

I also got another bubble bar in Creamy Candy. The lady at Lush said that a lot of the pink products smell like Rockstar and she really recommended this bubble bar, so I decided to try it.

Next was a product I was interested in trying out...a bath melt. These don't make bubbles but create an oil feeling. It's suppose to be very relaxing and good for your skin. I'll have to tell you how that goes. =)

Finally I stopped by Mac, and like I said I just bought two items. I wanted to try a beauty powder blush. MakeupByTiffanyD raves about these and says they are amazing so I knew I needed to get one and try it out. I got On A Mission from the Style Warriors Collection.

I also got High Tea lipstick. This has been on my list for awhile, and I just thought it was such a good nudish pink color. I've heard from some guru videos that is a good alternative to Myth, since not everyone can pull off that extremely nude color.

Hopefully I'll have another haul blog in a week or so with the items I get from the sale =)
Hope everyone is doing well!
Later!

Blush Collection

Continuing with my collection blogs, I decided to do all my blushes. I don't really have too many of them so I thought this would be a quick blog to do before doing my online mid-term and then going to bed. Until recently I didn't really use blushes, because I have really rosy cheeks and thought that blushes would only make me look worse. However, once I started getting into makeup I realized that blushes just give a nice glow to my skin and make it look better! Next on my list is to try one of MAC's Beauty Powder Blushes, Tiffany (MakeupByTiffanyD) raves about these, so I think I'll be purchasing one the next time I go to Mac...probably next week, haha.

So...on to the collection!



Petticoat MSF (Limited Edition)

This is such a pretty light pink color with some shimmer into it. It's light enough where it doesn't make me look crazy, but it warms up my cheeks and leaves a pretty sheen. Some people on YouTube have even mentioned you could use this as a highlight in the summer when you've got more color. Hopefully I'll get my butt in gear and start tanning and find out. =)

Love Rocks Minerialized Blush Duo

Gold violet melange/bright blue pink

Love Rocks is really pretty hot pink. When I started buying my blushes I wanted to make sure that they were all pretty different, so I felt I wasn't wasting my money. To use, I just swirl my brush over both colors to get a nice shimmering pink on my cheeks.

NARS Orgasm

This was one of the first blushes I bought. It's such a pretty peachy color, and it would compliment anyone. It's one of the most famous blushes from what I've heard and I really do think it would look good on anyone.

NARS Madly

This blush I truly bought just because of Tiffany (MakeupByTiffanyD). She used it in a tutorial and talked about how pretty it was so I felt I had to get it. It does kind of look blah in the container, but when you put it on your cheeks it this really pretty sun-kissed look.

Solar Riche Bronzing Powder

Midtone deep orange brown

This isn't really a blush, but I only have the one good bronzer so that's why it is in this drawer. I've talked about this color before, in my CCO haul, but I hadn't used it at that time. I use this product to contour with, and it works SOOO well. I had been using a Revlon bronzer before to contour, but this product was made for my skin it feels. It just blends out so well and creates a very natural coloring. This one pictured is from the Neo-Scifi Collection from MAC, but it's been re-released in the Style Warrior Collection right now, so if you don't have it you need to get it!

Well, that's the blush collection! I have some Mary Kay blushes and bronzers, but I've put those away after getting MAC. I still have them for right now, in case I need them, but I'll probably be giving them away or something soon to make room for more makeup, haha.

You guys have a good night! Look for upcoming blogs about makeup looks, more on my collection, reviews, and hopefully another small haul! =)

Later!
