Birthday Haul (Part 2)

Here’s part 2! 😁
So the most exciting bit for this part are these lip products. 💄💄💄  Ugh, they’re so gorgeous. Starting from the left is a bold red lip tint from De Bruyere. Next to that is a light dusty rose lip gloss shade from Beauty for Real. And the next two are the Nars lip crayons that I got from Sephora for my birthday. Then I have Persistence from Mac, which is now one of my new favourite lipsticks. Again, from Mac is Dark Side, which is a permanent shade by the way, it’s just in a limited edition packaging from their most recent collection. The last three are from The Balm. I got two lipsticks and one liquid lipstick which I absolutely love the colour of. #LipstickAddict

Next I received this some sort of stick type of perfume I guess you can say. I couldn’t really read more about this product because it’s all written in French all over the box.

 I’m not exactly sure where you can purchase this, but I’m guessing that they have a website. I think the concept of this product is great though, because it’s extremely travel friendly. It’s VERY lightweight, mess and hassle free.

Lastly for this post, I’m sorry that this is a little boring. I wanted to get a new hoodie because when you look in my closet, all my jackets and hoodies are either black or grey. Which is fine really, because they can go with anything. But I figured I wanted a little pop of colour, especially with my hoodies, seeing that its already getting chilly at where I live.

 I didn’t get creative with this shot though. ✌️ Anyway, I made sure that the colour that I picked out is definitely visible, I quite like it, a sort of sea green colour. I love how it’s light but still gives you warmth. It’s perfect for everyday wear. 👍👍👍

Mac Guo Pei

  

Just received my Mac order today! 😍 I debated on passing with this collection because honestly, I think the prices are ridiculous. I really just wanted the beauty powder, but I’m not paying $70 for that, nope! So I just decided on a lipstick and a blush. I got the Ethereal Orchid lipstick, which is a sheer coral red colour. And Red Water Lily blush which is a bright pinky coral colour. I’m pretty happy with my purchase, even though I expected that the blush would be a little bit bigger. I really love the packaging though, like always. Lol. 😁💕

#7: Top 5 Lipsticks 

Okay, first of all, I just want to say that I’m aware that these colours are very similar to each other, and they might even look like the exact same colours on the photo, but I promise, they’re not. 😁 I just really like and prefer nude/neutral lipstick shades because they’re easier to work with and are great for everyday wear. So here are my top 5 lipsticks, from left to right:

Milani Moisture Matte – Naked

MAC – Velvet Teddy

Gerard Cosmetics – 1995

ColourPop – Kiddo

ColourPop – Lumière

Swatches from left to right:

Milani (Naked), MAC (Velvet Teddy), Gerard Cosmetics (1995), ColourPop (Lumière), ColourPop (Kiddo)

#2: Favourite Lip Liner

 Here I have my favourite lip liner from MAC, it’s Soar! I love this shade because it can go with anything, that’s how I see it at least. I really love nude/neutral lip colours, especially ones with a touch of pink in it, so if a lipstick shade is too brown or beige in my opinion, I pair it with this lip liner. I absolutely love wearing this one with Velvet Teddy. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 

#1: Most Recent Makeup Haul

So to start this makeup photo challenge that I’ve been wanting to do, here is day one, which is the “Most Recent Makeup Haul”. I know that this photo isn’t my best, but it’ll work. Sorry! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 Also, I’ll include mini reviews on some products mentioned/shown. 😁

Anyway, from left to right:

I have the MAC Royally Riotous (Amplified) from the Veluxe à Trois collection. It’s a dark brown nude, it’s almost like Whirl or Creme in Your Coffee.

Next I have the Sephora Look smart travel eye brush set. They’re magnetic so you can literally just attach the different eye brushes that comes with it on the handle. I think it’ll be handy.

I got the NYX brow gel in Brunette. I’ve been wanting to try something like this for a while now and I just have to say that I will definitely repurchase this product. 👍🏼

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray. I’ve been getting travel sizes of these because they have a few you can choose from. I just finished my bottle of the Deslick one, and next on my list after I finish this is the Chill one.

Next I have a Nars shadow primer, I also got the face primer with SPF, and a mini blush in Orgasm.

The Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder, I’m so excited for this! I’ve heard a lot of great reviews for this one and I can’t wait to use it! Will definitely do a review on this. 😁

Next I have the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. I have a review for this one on my blog so you guys can see a more in depth review on that. But yeah, I got mine in the shade Naturally Beige.

The Stila Perfectly Poreless Putty Perfector, another one that I was really excited to get. I decided to get this one after I watched Dani (coffeebreakwithdani) talk about this product in one of her videos. I just received and tried it on today and oh my gosh, it’s like magic! I was completely blown away by this product. Again, There will be an in depth review on this sorcery. 😋

I have here two of the Becca Champagne Pop, the shade created by Jaclyn Hill. I originally had the intention of buying one, but it was so damn beautiful that I had to get backups. So yes, it might be too much, but I got two more for backups, I panicked a little because this is a limited edition product. I wish they would make it a permanent one because I really do love this highlighter. ✨

And last, but not the least. I talked about this product on a review before, this is the Swirl & Sparkle brush cleanser sample quad. Marii, the owner of S&S recently added four new scents, and I just had to get my hands on these. The four new ones are Birds of Paradise, Toffee Crunch, Orange Dream, and Java Mama. They smell so delicious that you’d want to eat it. 😝

#MACGiambattistaValli

I finally received these babies today! I’ve been waiting for this collection since I found out that they’re going to release it this year. I wasn’t sure at first which ones I’m going to get, but I couldn’t resist! I had to have all of them. These are so beautiful! 😍💄  

MAC Wash & Dry

Picked up the Refined Golden bronzer, Freshen Up highlighter, and the Tumble Dry liptick. 😍 Again, Mac’s packaging is so beautiful! I really like the bronzer, and although it’s a permanent shade, I’ve never tried it before. It has gold shimmer when you look at it on the pan, but it’s not really that noticeable when applied to the skin. Next is the highlighter which I don’t agree to be a highlighter. It swatches like a peachy pink shade which I personally think is more of a blush than a highlighter. The only shimmer or glow you can really see is when you swatch it for the first time, and that’s because of the overspray. It was kind of disappointing but still a beautiful shade nonetheless.
