Sephora Haul + Updates

Here I'm wearing "Pillow Talk" on top of "Sex Machine"

Hi all! Last Friday, I stopped by Sephora to take advantage of the Beauty Insider 15% off discount. I was so excited, especially because I've been saving up on my first NARS purchase. Yayy!! I wanted to get more stuff, but with the sales tax up and being the college student that I am, I set a limit for myself.

Besides my haul, I explained in my video that I'm going on a hiatus for a couple of weeks. I'm currently moving to a new place and I know a couple of midterms are coming up soon, so I'll be pretty busy. So I won't be making tutorials for a while till I get everything all settled. I'm planning to put all my makeup on my desk so I can actually do tutorials sitting on a chair (I usually sit on my bed by the window), but I have yet to get all that stuff organized. I'm also saving up on a lighted mirror, suggestions on where to get a cheap one? I hear Conair has some good ones.

Anywhoz, I'll probably update this blog a couple of times during my YT hiatus, in case I pick up some new makeup during that time. Till then,

MAC, Sephora, and Coastal Scents Haul!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Alright, so recently I've gotten some new things to add to my still growing collection. Most of the stuff I bought I based on necessity so I tried real hard not to get anything I won't use! Let's start with brushes: From L to R: Contour Angle brush, Synthetic e/s brush, Deluxe shadow brush (huge!), and Mini Chisel Detail brush. Those came from Coastal Scents and they're all great! The next brush is just a smudge brush from Sephora and then MAC's 217. I used all of them already and I'm seriously loving it. I'm so glad I finally got a 217! Works wonders!


I also went to Sephora and while my friend was getting her makeup done, I decided to get the concealer palette from Makeup For Ever (No. 4). I've been wanting and needing this for a while now so I decided to get it after saving some dough. Along with the smudge brush and a cologne for my boyfriend, I spent enough to get an insider card and a free gift. The free gift I chose was the Givenchy Foundation Primer. Yay! And now for the main reason I went to Mac yesterday:

So my Valentine's gift from my boyfriend was pretty great this year! He surprised me with the tiny Hello Kitty case from MAC and when I opened it, there was a gift card! This is the first time he ever got me makeup, so that's pretty cool too. I didn't know how much was in the gift card though. So when I went to MAC, I first got my 217 brush, and then one of the MA's helped me out with getting some stuff from the HK collection. I already had my mind set on Too Dolly, which I LOVE by the way! I did a smokey eye last night using Romping (the purple-ish pink e/s) and it turned out great (I wish I had pics). And I was debating on whether to get a blush or lipgloss, but went with the blush instead because I loved how it showed up on my skin. So at the register I found out the gift card had $70 in it! So generous! I couldn't thank him enough. Oh and of course, I got the free HK bag =)

So that's it! I'm glad I stuck to my plan with only 2 items from the collection, I'm nearly broke! Ah, now I will save up for the next best thing on my list.
