As any accountant will tell you, the first week or two of the month is always a beast. I’ve been working really hard closing the books for October, and I thought I deserved a little treat… several little treats in fact. Thus, I bring you my first ever haul post. I definitely spent all of my fun money for the month, but I had a blast doing it! Here are the goodies I got:
One of the ladies at Sephora was wearing this gorgeous copper color on her eyes. I loved it so much, I had to have it for myself, so she directed me to this little palette. It’s part of the Charlotte Ronson for Sephoracollection, and I’m so excited to try it! It usually retails for $22.00, but I had a 20% V.I.B. coupon, which made it an excellent deal! I couldn’t pass up 4 eyeshadows (2.4 grams apiece) for $18.00!
Real Techniques Brushes by Samantha Chapman
I’m a huge fan of the Pixiwoo sisters – I love watching their video tutorials! I also have a bizarre fascination with their accents and British slang, but that’s another story. I’ve been dying to try their Real Techniques brush line, so I picked up these at my local Ulta. The brushes I bought retail for around $8.00 or $9.00, and have gotten great reviews. I hope they meet my expectations!
This is one of the fabulous holiday sets that are available at Sephora right now. I’ve never tried Stila’s eyeliner before, but I absolutely LOVE these colors! I’m especially excited about the olive color – I think it’s called Moray – and the beige color, which is Angelfish. Assuming the quality is up to par, this is a GREAT value: five full-size eyeliners for $32.00 (one Smudge Stick retails for $20.00).
Now, these three products have a lot of hype, and I’m excited about trying them. The Pixiwoos have used Eyeko mascara and Anastasia Brow Wiz in a lot of their videos; hopefully, they live up to their reputations! One of the Sephora sales ladies recommended the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer – it’s suppose to be great for oily skin. The Battle of the Shine is a continuous one for me, so I hope it works!
Well, those are the high points from my epic haul! I got a few other goodies, and I’ll be posting reviews soon! If you have any opinions about these products, hit me up in the comments – I’d love to get someone else’s take. Happy shopping!
