My Haul from MAC's Divine Night Collection

This collection was pretty large, but I'm on no spend so I only picked up these three lipsticks. The other two lipsticks were just not for me, so I passed.  I'm learning (slowly) that if it isn't for me, or I won't wear it, to leave it behind.  This collection is available online and in stores, and I'm not sure if everything is still available.  I'm certain Private Party (lipstick) is all sold out, but the other shades are still available.  

The collection features "special" packaging.  Read: packaging we're going to charge you more for.  So while MAC lipsticks are normally $15, these are $16.50 because of the 'special' packaging.






Urban Decay F&F Haul

Here are the (only) two items I picked up during last week's Urban Decay  friends and family sale. I picked up the new revolution lipstick in 'shame' and the Vice 2 eyeshadow palette. The palette also comes with a dual sided eyeshadow brush.  It's an okay brush, but I personally don't think it's as nice as the brush in the Naked 2 palette.  I also got a free sample of the zero eyeliner pencil. It's black, but not as black as perversion, my favorite.  Check out the pics below!






October's Ipsy Bag

Here are this month's products:
This month's Ipsy bag (the bag itself) was adorable! Love it!! Anywho, in this month's bag I got a full sized Zoya nail polish, in a gorgeous sparkly purple color (Mason).  I also got a medium eyeshadow brush by Coastal Scents.  There was also a sample of La Fresh face oil-free face cleanser wipes.  There was also a sample of Bella Terra Mineral Cosmetics color in Navy.  Lastly, and last for a reason, a sample of StyleSexyHair's Spray Clay. I put this last because I, personally, am not a fan of hair products.  Ipsy could totally remove hair products from my packages and I'd be completely okay with that.  This is the second (out of four bags total) hair product I've received, and like the other, this is likely to go unused.

Ultra Haul: Bare Minerals

Hi guys! I've been meaning to post this for a few days now.  I went to Ulta Saturday and their "steal of the day" was Bare Minerals blush and all over face color.  These normally retail at $19, but for the "steal" were priced at $10.  I went in and swatched a few, as I've never owned or used any Bare Minerals blush or face color. Anywho, the only blush that stood out as something I did not own was secret.  It's a really pretty, soft baby pink.  And everyone needs a baby pink blush.  My former MAC baby pink blush is in crumbles somewhere, so this was a good time to replace it.  Next, I picked up Vintage Peach.  It's a really pretty soft peach with some shimmer.  I almost did not get it because it does seem super similar to some blushes I already own, since I'm more of a peachy blush kind of girl. After going back and forth, I decided to get it.  Arguably, it's not much more $$ than a drugstore blush, and I did like how "soft" it felt.  Lastly, I picked up True, an all over face color.  The all over face color can be used anywhere, eyes, cheek, nose, chin, etc.  Again, this was a color I debated about because it was soooooo shimmery/glittery, I could not fathom using it as a blush.  The only thing that kept me thinking about purchasing was the fact that it has this iridescent element to it, that the pictures don't quite pick up.  I think this could be used over your eyeshadow, no matter what color, for greater emphasis and pop.  I also think it will be great as a highlight.  So I caved and got this one too, lol.  My only complaint (not having actually used these items) is that it seems that these loose powder blushes are a bit wasteful.  For example, you have to open it, tap it, etc, to get the product out.  It is a bit more work than using a compact powder blush, and I would imagine application takes a bit more attention to detail as well, to get even and flawless color.  Anywho, I'm going to try these out this weekend!!
