Why Must Everything Run Out At The Same Time? - $$$$$ Haul

Hey all!!! Iv been waiting to do this post, until I got all of my orders in!!!

I ran out of a BUNCH of stuff at the same time, and I needed some things for flights I'm taking. So I figured a Sephora Haul was in order!!

THIS, is my entire haul. (Can you feel my embarrassment through the screen?)

First off, I got the UD Basquiat Gold Griot, and Blush Palette on sale for $22 each! I love the blush palette, and am EXTREMELY happy with it!! I'v used at least one shade from it every day since getting it!

The neutral shadow palette is okay. It's definitely not a all in one palette for me, thats for sure!! But I want to push my comfort zone!

The most expensive thing in the haul, I FINALLY bit the bullet, and bought a 90ml bottle of my all time favourite perfume. SIGH. It's Versace Bright Crystal. It's bright, cheerful, and happy! It smells like citrus and florals on me!

Next, here is all of the Clinique stuff I bought!! I got a back up of my Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ 125ml bottle, Because I usually use this day and night, and my current 125ml bottle is halfway done.

I got two Moisture Surge sets as well. One came with their Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate, Moisture Surge Face Spray, and a Chubby stick that I gave to my mother!

The other set came with, Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Moisturizer, their Moisture Surge Hydrating Mask, And the same Chubby Stick from the first kit!

I'm flying three times this year. (Up to Northern Canada, Across the country to British Columbia, and Down to New York City!) so I picked up these hydrating minis for the plane!

These are the primers I got. I had run out of all face primers, and I usually cocktail and use two at a time. So I got a sample of Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, Cover FX Blurring Primer, Cover FX Iluuminating Primer, Cover FX Mattifying Primer, MUFE Redness Correcting Primer, and lastly, MUFE Smoothing Primer!

I like to use the Redness one, or the Illuminating one all over my face, as neither have silicones. And then go in and tap a mattifying, or blurring primer on my nose and inner cheeks!

I got two 1oz Setting sprays from Cover FX. one is the Illuminating one, and the other is the Mattifying one! So far, I'm really digging these!

As an Oily girl. I love loose powder! I go through loose powder the MOST.

So I picked up a 30g tub of Laura Mercier Loose Translucent powder, and a mini 9g tub of the same powder.

I also got a 4g tub of Cover FX's Matte Setting Powder.

I also finally finished my Tarte Shape Tape. And since it's extremely difficult to get it here in Canada. I bought the NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer in Custard. (Spoiler - I LOVE IT)

For lips, I got two BITE beauty sets. One has a mini lipstick in Gazpacho - a cool red, One has a mini lipstick in Pepper - a brown pink, and then there's two lip pencils in 078 - a cool red, and 016 - a brown plum/pink.

I also got a mini Givenchy lipstick in 23 - A bright creamy fuchsia!

Lastly, I got two mini tubes of my FAVOURITE facial moisturizer, aka Josie Maran Whipped Argan Face Butter.

And a 1oz tube of Boscia Luminizing Black peel off mask!!!

This is everything I'v boughten this month. What do you think of these items??

What I purchased In America!

Hey all!! I am safely back home in Canada,

I had such an amazing time in The States!! I hadn't been in 10 years, and now that i'm an adult it was a lot more fun, and I think I appreciated it a lot more!

I of course bought quite a bit of stuff, as Canada's dollar is total crap and worth less than American Dollars. And, in my part of Canada, we pay 13% tax.

Also we don't HAVE Ulta in Canada, like at ALL. So It was on the top of my list to go to one!

90% of the things I bought, I can not get in Canada, or can't FIND in Canada!

Here is a overview of everything I purchased! I'll go more in depth down below, but in total I bough:
Sephora Sun Safety Kit
Too Faced PBJ Palette
Tarte Shape Tape
WnW Photo Finish Concealer
WnW Velvet Matte Lip Colour
WnW Highlighting Powder in Precious Petals
WnW Eye Shadow Blending brush
WnW Foundation Buffing Brush

I got 5 Samples from sephora, I asked for three and was given two in my bag.
I got: Becca Complete Coverage Foundation in the shade Cashmere, Sephora 10 hour wear foundation in 20 light cream, CoverFX Creme Concealer in Glight, MUFE Smoothing Primer, and Clinique Pep Start Exfoliating Cleanser.

In the Sephora Sun Safety Kit I got Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer in Medium/Deep, And Murad Invisiblur

I got Tarte Shape Tape in Light Medium Honey as well!!

Also in the sun safety kit was, Shiseido Urban Environment SPF40 sunblock, FRESH Sugar Lip Balm in Nude, Supergoop Setting Mist SPF50, Peter Tomas Roth Max Sheer Sunblock SPF30

I got the WNW Concealer in the shade Light Medium Beige, And the Velvet Matte Lip Colour in the shade Charred Cherry.

Also from the sun safety kit was Dr Brandt Multi-performance stick SPF45, Josie Maran Daily Moisturizer SPF47.

Lastly, I got another Shiseido SPF50 Sunblock, and two Wet n Wild brushes!

Overall, I'm EXTREMELY Happy with everything I got!!!!!

What I got for my Birthday!

In case y'all don't know, today (the 11th of february!) is my birthday!! I am no longer a teenager. And I'm down with a severe cold ahaha. What a way to bring in my twenties!!

Anyway y'all are here for my birthday gifts!!

For my birthday this year, I wanted something low key, and calm. As I'm still recovering from my major surgery less than a month ago, and I'm sick as hell!

So I went out for lunch with my family, and got a make over at sephora!! And now I'm home playing video games with my brother. :-)

Free things I got:

KVD Lock it foundation sample in the shade 45 warm. It's yellow!! and looks like a good match for me in different lighting! I'll further test this out!

LUSH'S 9 to 5 Lotion Cleanser.

LUSH'S Ultrabalm Cleanser. I CLEARLY was looking into makeup removers at LUSH!!

LUSH'S Enchanted Eye Cream. The sales lady had such SMOOTH undereyes and said she uses this. So I'm willing to give it a go!!

LUSH'S Rosy Cheeks Fresh Face Mask. I knew there would be a LUSH at the mall we were at, so I brought 5 of the 9 black pots i'v been stashing and got myself a nice calming face mask that smells like roses!!

Tarte Sephora Birthday Gift. I chose the Tarte gift, because my skin is VERY picky and will break out in cystic acne. So I didn't want to risk the other two skin care gifts. The Tarte gift is a mini matte pinky blush. and a light nudey matte lip paint!

Mini Urban Decay Venom Vice Lipstick. I decided to pick up this mini lipstick, because i'v been eyeing up the shade for a while, and it was free with my sephora points so hey!


Gifts I got:

Atelier Cologne Bergamote Soleil Perfume. I'v gone through 3 (?) samples of this perfume, and my family bought my the mini travel sized one! I told them not to buy the full sized $90 one. I'd feel WAY too guilty!

BITE Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick Beetroot. I LOVE this lipstick formula, it smells like Limeaid, it's a canadian brand, and the actual lipstick is creamy, moisturizing, and beautiful!! This shade is a darkened berry on me! (aka right up my alley!)


This is the look the MUA did on me:

Sorry for the horrid android camera quality, but I didn't get home until sundown!
I asked the MUA to put Kat Von D's Poe on me, and she designed a whole look around Poe! Which I will be going back for and buying next time I have disposable money!


All in all, it's been an amazing, relaxing birthday!!!

Happy Holidays! / Christmas Eve FOTD / Mini Haul!

Happy holidays everyone!! I hope everyone is safe and warm and surrounded by lots of loved ones, blood related or not. 

I got payed yesterday, so I picked up a few things I needed!!

I wear at LEAST SPF 60 every day under my makeup, so I go through a LOT of sunblock!! I have extremely acne prone/sensitive skin. I usually buy the Neutragena Clear Skin acne prone sun block, BUT! It's gone up in price $3 since I first bought it. It's currently $14.99 at CHEAPEST. So ya girl branched out! I picked up Coppertone Sensitive skin face sunblock with SPF 60. fingers crossed I don't get a rash, or break out from it!!

I also picked up the ELF Contouring kit. I'v been VERY into bronzing up my cheeks and forehead lately (I have a super small forehead, so I don't know why I'd want to contour it LOL) lately!! So I figured for $8, this would be a good compact thing for all of my travelling!! I am wearing the cooler contour shade in my cheeks, and the warm brown one on my forehead, and the shimmery white on my cheek bones!!

Lastly in this mini haul, I saw a box with my HOLY GRAIL mascara, ( L'oreal Voluminous Million lashes! in the gold tube!) with a full sized L'oreal liquid eye liner for $9.85!!! That's a STEAL. And I'm on the last bits of my current sample sized mascara, so I'm going to put the mascara away until i'm for sure done with my current mascara!! I'm wearing the liquid liner in the FOTD picture. And so far, after using it once, i think I like it!! I need to get the hang of the applicator. But it's pretty darn good!!

Onto my Christmas Eve FOTD!!

Why yes, I AM wearing purple eyeshadow, purple lipstick, AND a purple shirt! LOL. I'm currently testing a new foundation for review, so what do you all think of the colour match? I think it's perfect! 

Anyway!! I'm heading off to go eat chinese food with my loved ones!! I hope you all have a safe and wonderful upcoming weeks!!!
