Hi Everyone! Long time no blog... I've been a very busy girl the past couple of months. Been a little busy with some online shopping as well (bad girl!). Who else took advantage of the VIB sale? This girl did. I didn't go too crazy but I did pick up some goodies from the sale and also used my ebates account to get some cash back! #SCORE!

What did you guys get during the sale? Would love to know & let me know if you want a review / swatches of any of the products :) Thanks for reading!!

First Drugstore Haul of 2015

Hello again lovelies! This is my first drugstore haul for 2015. I haven't actually bought that much drugstore makeup recently but I went today and couldn't pass up some of the sales they were having. A couple of these items are repurchases which I will note below. I would love to see any of your hauls so be sure to tweet me, facebook me or comment below!

• Loreal Miss Manga Mascara - this one was a repurchase because I actually like the wand and how it makes my lashes look
• Cover Girl Ready Set Gorgeous Foundation - this was also a repurchase because I really liked the medium coverage and the way it made my skin looked. I am almost finished with my last tube.
• Cover Girl Lash Bloom Mascara
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation - not sure if this is new or just new packaging :P
• Loreal Collection Excusive Lipstick - Nude by JLO
• Cover Girl lipstick in Darling Kiss
• Cover Girl lip gloss in #4232 - sorry it doesn't have a name on it but I believe it was berry something

Was totally in a Cover Girl mood today I guess. I can't wait to play with these goodies :) Let me know if you would like a review / swatches of any of these products.

Boxing Day 2014 Sephora Haul

Hello lovely people! First off I would like to say a very Happy New Year to everyone. I can't believe that we are already in the second week of 2015! I am sorry for not blogging that much recently, I have just been catching up on some items on my to-do list and just enjoying the Holidays with my friends and family. I hope you all had a great Holiday as well.

Over the break I did do some shopping, nothing too crazy but of course I had to grab some items from Sephora. During Boxing Day (December 26th) Sephora had some items on sale in store for $12 each. I personally thought they were quite the steal so I had to grab some items. Here is what I got:

• Kat Von D Esperanza Palette
• Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color in Bikini Pink
• Urban Decay Naked Gloss in Lovechild
• Urban Decay Super Saturated Lip Color in Lovechild (guess I really liked Lovechild...)
• Butter London Nailpolish in Yummy Mummy (My first Butter London nailpolish!)
• Smashbox Limitless Long Wear Lip Gloss in For Keeps

And that is all that I got during Boxing Day at Sephora. Would love to hear what you guys purchased over the holidays and if you have any recommendations. My next post might be some of my fave products from 2014 but I don't know if I'm a little late for that since it is already the second week of January :P Let me know what you guys want to see next!

I was feeling a little spendy a few weeks ago and had the urge to buy lipsticks! I dropped by my local MAC counter and picked up one from the Kelly & Sharon Osbourne collection and a few from the permanent collection.

Victoria's Secret was having their semi-annual sale so I also picked up a few items from there including some make-up bags which I am excited to use for my trip at the end of the month.

MAC Kelly Yum Yum, Plumful, Sushi Kiss & Sunny Seoul

Sephora Haul

So, I went a little bit crazy during the 15% off sale at Sephora. This haul was from about 3 trips to Sephora during the sale. I first went to the VIB Rouge sale on a Sunday, it was alright but I thought that it could have been a little bit better. It was quite busy and a few of the items I had wanted were already sold out. One item in particular was the matte radiant orchid lipstick from Sephora's color of the year collection. The hourglass ambient blushes seemed to be quite popular as well but I was able to grab one in Diffused Heat. I think I am done from buying make-up for awhile now... Here are the items I picked up from the sale. Let me know what you all got too!

• Too faced Chocolate Bar palette
• Sephora Color of the Year Rush Luster Cheek Sweep
• Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner in Perfect Nude
• Sephora Pro Tapered Crease Brush
• Urban Decay All Nighter Spray

MAC Hey, Sailor! Haul

MAC Lipglass in Orange Tempera

MAC Lipglass in Riviera Life

Swatches from Left to Right: Orange Tempera & Riviera Life

MAC Lipstick in Salute!

MAC Lipstick in Salute! Swatch

MAC Blush in Fleet Fast

I went to the MAC Hey, Sailor! unveiling event at my local MAC store a few days ago and picked up some items. I actually purchased less than I thought I was going to. My initial thoughts of the collection when I saw them on-line was that it was going to be pretty awesome, but when I went to the event and actually did real life swatching I changed my mind on some products. However, I did end up with 4 items. Two lipglasses, One Lipstick and One Blush. Overall, the packaging is quite cute and I really like the Orange Temepra and Riviera Life lipglasses because the colours are not something you can find in the drugstore. I am still indifferent about the Salute! lipstick... just not quite sure how to wear it because it is a very pale colour. The blush is very pretty, a bit of a shimmer to it but I think its workable :) Has anyone else purchased anything from the collection and want to share their thoughts? Comment below!

One more week left in the GIVEAWAY! Sharing is caring, the more you share the more chances you have for winning :)
