This Weekend's Pink Mini Makeup Haul

Isn’t my mini haul from the drugstore this weekend so cute? Everything is so…PINK! xD To find out what I think about each product, read on!

The Wet n’ Wild Spoiled Brat Eye Shadow Trio ($2) caught my eye because not many drugstore brands sell this vibrant fuchsia color (sorry that my first pic doesn’t do it justice, I did the best I could with rainy-day outdoor lighting). I applied all of them over Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion and all of the colors have great color payoff for a drugstore product! They are a bit powdery, though, and do fade, even with primer. Oh, well, I really just bought this for the pink color, anyway, so I’ll give this a 4/5. I can’t wait to do a pink smoky eye shadow look with this!

The Wet n’ Wild Mega Brilliance Lip Gloss in Crushed Grapes ($1) is a very sheer Barbie-pink with multicolored glitter. The good thing about this gloss is that it is NOT sticky at ALL and it also tastes amazing. It’s not gritty, like most glittery glosses, either. That said, the color payoff is non-existent and the glitter is barely there once you put it on… I feel like you’d only be able to tell that there’s glitter on my lips if I was in direct sunlight. Boo… This gets a 2/5.

Wet n’ Wild FuchsiaRama ($2) is such a pretty medium-toned purple-pink color…(a bit more pink than it looks in the pic above). It’s perfect for Fall! I love that I finally found a purple that doesn’t make the yellow undertones in my skin look weird… (Cool-toned nail polishes make my hands look like a corpse.) This is a warm purple-pink, though, and flatters warm undertones! The formula is very sheer, but it’s pretty much a given that drugstore nail polishes need at least 3 coats, so I’m okay with it. I give it a 4/5.

Finally, we have Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Strobe Light ($3), which is STUNNING! I love Disco Ball, which is snowflake-colored glitter, but this is a close second! It’s a rose pink multi-colored glitter top coat and makes any nail polish more glam Love this! It gets a 5/5.

If I had to recommend only one of these products, I would definitely say to buy Strobe Light. You'll get the best quality for your money there. Hope this helps!

Little Luxuries by MOR Cosmetics

While I was out shopping this weekend, I discovered MOR Cosmetics' Pomegranate French-Milled Bar Soap, the most divine berry scent I've ever smelled, and bought all of the bars I could find in the store.

MOR Cosmetics Pomegranate French-Milled Bar Soap, $9 at Amazon.com

MOR is an Australian company that makes cosmetics and bath products that look and smell luxurious. Their products include body butters, lotions, soap, bath soaks, lip gloss, candles, perfume oils, scrubs, hand creams, and more. I love the cute little Lip Macarons:

MOR products would make amazing gifts because of their uber-cute packaging. You can find gift sets on their website and you can also find some of their older products at BeautyTicket.com, TJ Maxx, and Marshall's.

Today's Sephora Haul

Nothing makes me giddy like a trip to Sephora! I can spend HOURS there (or at least long enough for the sales associates to start giving me the "WTF, you're still here??" look.) I can't help it- I love looking at every little thing and testing all the products. and playing around with stuff. It makes me ridiculously happy...

Today, I got Too Faced Chocolate Soleil matte bronzing powder (which has real cocoa powder in it and smells good enough to eat) to replace the orange-y, shimmery bronzer that I was using, which started looking muddy and streaky on me. I found out that matte bronzers don't end up giving you that muddy look. I also love that it's not full of silicones, waxes, or oils that would break me out.

I also bought Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss in "Nirvana" (why have I never heard of this before?! It's definitely underrated), Bare Excentuals Lip Gloss in "Sugar Cookie", Buxom Lash Mascara in "Blackest Black", Sephora Anti-Bacterial Makeup Brush Daily Cleaner Spray, and L'Occitane Shea Hand Cream.

Sephora Haul! (Sorry about the crappy phone pic...)

I love all the goodies I bought but my favorite is the Stila lip gloss- it's more of a liquid lipstick than a lip gloss because it's SUPER pigmented and it's full-coverage like a lipstick but shiny like a gloss. It's perfect for a lipstick-devotee like me- I just wish it came in more shades! The "Nirvana" color that I got is a perfect pinkish nude (my favorite lip color) but I wish they had a peach or coral color as well.

Buxom Lash Mascara is awesome- it really makes my lashes look darker, thicker, longer, and faker (but in a good way). I tried it over my L'Oreal Telescopic mascara and it didn't clump at all- it just looked like I've been using Latisse  =)

Next trip, I plan on getting Lorac Evening Out compact, Make Up For Ever Lifting Concealer, a new angled blush brush, Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss in "Happiness", and Lancome Teint Miracle foundation in Bisque 7.

Got my retail therapy in for the weekend- now I can make it through the week...  =)
