Makeup Haul

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been gone for a little while, but no need to fear! I am back and with a haul for you lovely's. This is a haul that has I've collected for the past month so I figured why not show you guys what I bought and give you a little review on each product! By the way, these products to range from high end to drugstore products. And to add as a disclaimer, I purchased all of these products with my own money.

First, let's start off with the palettes. I am absolutely in love with palettes because of how convenient they are for traveling. I am completely obsessed with the Lorac Unzipped palette! It has gorgeous rosy, nude colors that you can rock for day and night looks. The pigmentation is incredible and the palette just screams romance! I purchased this palette at Kohl's for $42.

Next we have four bhcosmetics palettes (yes, FOUR) and these are actually my first bh products (yes, I know). Let's start from the smallest to the biggest palette. Thanks to finding a coupon code, I got the San Francisco special edition palette for free with my purchase. First off, can we talk about how cute it is! Bh has the cutest packaging for their products that I've ever seen. The palette contains 16 eyeshadows and four face powders (highlight, two blushes, and bronzer). At the moment, you can purchase this palette on their website for $8.95, but original price is $18.95.

The second palette is the Forever Nude. This palette comes with six eyeshadows, a highlight, a blush, and two lip colors. This is also another romantic palette that can create a beautiful look for a date night. You can purchase this palette on their website for $21.95.

The third palette is the 10 Color Professional Blush Palette. I was originally wanting to purchase the Glamorous Blush Palette, but sadly they were sold out so I purchased this one instead. The first word I can think of to describe this palette is bright. The first thing you see is the bright orange and pink blushes. This palette (in my opinion) is more for the out on the town nights when you want something with a little more pop. You can purchase this palette on their website for $14.95.

And last, but certainly not least is the fourth palette.I am automatically drawn to neutral eyeshadows (and eyeshadow in general) and the 28 Neutral Eyeshadow Color Palette did just that. Again, the pigmentation is great. Although I do wish the packaging was better. The pan inside of the palette is a flimsy plastic. At the moment, you can purchase this palette on their website for $11.95, but original price is $18.95.

Next is the Mary-Lou Manizer by TheBalm. What's great about this highlighter is that it doubles as an eyeshadow and a little goes a long ways! It will definitely take you awhile to hit pan on it. I also suggest checking out the product before you buy it. I purchased this highlighter a couple months ago and when I went to open it out of the packaging, the mirror and the product were shattered. I returned it and for whatever reason didn't bother buying a new one. Last week, I finally re-purchased it at Kohl's for $24 and wish I did sooner!

Next is mascara. My mom purchased this mascara for me when she was in England on business and I haven't been able to find it in the U.S. It is the Number 7 mascara in Lovely Lashes. This mascara feels so light weight on my lashes, but at the same time gives me intense color and volume! Also, I don't know if it's the way I'm applying it or the mascara itself, but it doesn't make my lashes clump together. 

Onto the lips! Next to the Maybelline Color Sensationals, Mac has my favorite lipsticks. On the left we have Creme Cup and on the right is Please Me. I've been seeing a few Youtubers rave about Please Me so I had to give in a try. They were so right! It's such a gorgeous matte pink. I've been wanting to get Creme Cup for awhile so when I stop at the International Mall in Tampa, I had the opportunity. Again, this is a great light bluish pink and it is a creme-sheen lipstick. Like the majority of the Mac lipsticks, these are priced at $16.

This is the limited edition Maybelling Color Sensational in Ravishing Rose. It's a beautiful light pink lipstick that glides on so smoothly. I purchased this at Walgreens for $7.99.

Next is the new Lorac AlterEgo lipsticks. These are apart of their 2014 summer collection. I purchased these lipsticks online on Kohl's website the day that they were released for $16. From left to right we have Heiress, Nymph, and Girl Next Door. To be honest, I'm not truly sure how I feel about these lipsticks yet. They're extremely pigmented and creamy, but it looks a little cakey on my lips. This isn't my final opinion of this product though. I still want to play around with them to see if I like them or not.

 Next are the Lip Perfections by Covergirl. All I can say is wow! I am in love with these lip liners. The swatch of the nude color isn't like how it is on the lips. It's a light pinky nude and just glides on the lips. I purchased these at Target for $4.99.

 This is my new favorite lip gloss! This is in the shade White Russion by Buxom. It's the perfect pinky nude (yes, I'm obsessed with pinky nudes) color and gives your lips a tingly, minty feeling once you apply it. It's not an overwhelmingly tingly feeling, but it does feel very refreshing on the lips. I purchased this at Sephora for $19.

 I bought this as a back up. This is the only eyebrow pencil that I use and have ever used. It's just as thin as the Brow Wiz. I use the color fling. You can purchase this at Mac for $16.
