Urban Decay SMOKED palette






Kinky, Freestyle, Barlust & Rockstar

Mushroom, Backdoor, Evidence & Loaded

Loaded

Blackout & Asphalt

I went to my local Sephora last weekend looking to see if they had put the Urban Decay SMOKED palette on the sales floor yet. Unfortunately, they had not :( So... I asked one of the girls who worked there when it would be coming out and they said "Oh we just got it in yesterday, its just in the back" then she proceeded to ask another girl to get it for me! I was so stoked! haha :) 

The packaging is pretty awesome and I think I'm going to get a lot of travel use out of it. The little book that it comes with is cute and it has a few different smokey looks that you can try out. The eye shadows are amazing. I've always been a fan of UD eyeshadows because they are so pigmented and creamy.

I haven't been able to play with this palette yet. But just from swatching the colors I can tell that the quality and pigmentation are great! Can't wait to use the palette for different looks!

My July favourites should be coming up in the next few days... and I am also thinking of doing a what's in my make up bag post... Thanks for reading :) <3

Sephora 500 Points Perk: Caudalie!






I went to Sephora tonight and purchased a Nails Inc. Nail polish and Sephora Highlighter which I may show later in a collective haul. But what I want to show now is the Sephora 500 Point Perk, which is a trio from the brand Caudalie. I have heard some good things about this brand and cannot wait to try it out :) The set came with a cleansing water, moisturizing sorbet and thirst quenching serum. Once I try these products out I will have a review up for them of whether I liked the products or not :)

Sidenote: sorry for the dark pictures, I decided to post this late at night... not a good idea >.<

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 :)
