I’ve been pretty good makeup buying wise lately, my last Sephora haul didn’t even have any makeup in it (a first for me for sure!). But alas, the no makeup buying thing didn’t last for long. Over the last couple weeks, I hit up Sephora and redeemed a lot of points at Shoppers Drug Mart. So I thought I would do a combined makeup haul, and show you what I’ve picked up.
Clarins Ombre Matte Eyeshadow in 04 – As soon as I started to see blog posts about these matte eyeshadows, I knew I had to try one. This smokey grey colour is so pretty and will be lovely for a fall smokey eye.
Clarins Blush Prodige in Tawny Pink – A new blush release from Clarins. I picked it up for fall, it has a very fall like vibe to me. It’s a natural rosey blush with a slight shimmer, however it isn’t obvious on the skin.
Buxom Waterproof Mascara – I received a sample of the non-waterproof version in my VIB Rouge goody bag, and feel in love with the brush and texture. I picked up the waterproof version because my eyes can make even the most hardy waterproof mascara run all over my face. Plus I find that waterproof versions of any mascara holds a curl better.
Clarins BB Skin Perfecting Cream – Me picking up another lightweight base, shocking! :P I love Clarins skincare, and finally decided to take the plunge and pick up their BB Cream. We shall see if it’s as good as their skincare.
Hourglass 1.5 MM Mechanical Gel Eyeliner – I have to admit, I fully succumbed to the hype of this pencil. I only picked up the single version, instead of the 3 pack, which I somehow justify as not being as bad. I was swayed by the posts which said it lasted all day, was actually waterproof, and was an incredibly fine line. We shall see if it lives up to the hype.
Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Flax – This is an eyeshadow primer, with a hint of colour. It’s actually the perfect ‘no makeup makeup’ shade for me, which I love! It reminds me of a creamier version of MAC Soft Ochre.
Benefit Hoola Bronzer – I’ve had the mini size of this for a while now, and recently it has become my go to bronzer. I decided it was time to pick up the full size version and save the mini for when I travel.
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Rose Gold – This shade is just the most lovely light rose gold shade, perfect for an everyday office eye. Plus these caviar sticks last forever on my eyes, big bonus.
Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Naked – This is my first UD lipstick purchase, and I’m already in love. They’re so creamy and pigmented, but have a sheen to them, so they’re super easy to wear. I will definitely be on the lookout for more of these.
Tarte Power Pigment in Fearless – This was a totally spur of the moment purchase, it’s a lovely pink nude matte colour and smells minty.
