High End Makeup Haul {Vacation Edition}

Hello Beauties!

If you saw my drugstore haul post then you know this one is coming!!! Stacie and I not only went to the drugstore, but we went to MAC, Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom Rack and Urban Outfitters (it was my first time there and I had no idea they sold makeup!)

so excited for all of these!!!!

Let's start with MAC! I do have three other MAC products but those were given to me as gifts over the years, so these were my first purchases! I'm super excited about them!!!!

Cremesheen Lipstick--Japanese Maple; $15.00
 I have been wanting to try a lipstick from MAC and I did a lot of research on different colors. I usually wear a more nude lip, so I wanted something like that. I knew I wanted to look at Angel, Creme d'Nude and Crème Cup. I tried them all and there was just something about them that didn't look quite right. Then I saw Japanese Maple! I tried it on and I loved it! Even the girl helping us said it looked the best! I'm so happy I bought this color, I absolutely love it!



Mineralize Blush--Dainty; $25.00
I also wanted to get either a blush or a mineralized skin finish. I heard a good review about this blush and when I saw it I fell in love! It's so beautiful! Needless to say, I'm happy with my MAC purchases! :)


On to Sephora!!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil--Zero; $19.00
Every time I go into Sephora (or Ulta) I am always pulled over to Urban Decay! One of the things I always look at are the 24/7 liners. I love looking at all the pretty colors! I always swatch them and love the way they feel, but I never wanted to pay the price for them. But this time I decided it was time to splurge! I got the black one because I wear black eyeliner on my bottom water line almost every day.  So I figured I would try that one out first and then maybe buy a color one! I haven't used it yet but I'm so excited to!


Sephora Flashy Liner Waterproof--Flashy Blue; $3.00
This is such a pretty blue eyeliner! I don't really wear many bold colors on my eyes, but I had to have it! So pretty and smooth, plus it was only $3!!!


Ulta is up! I didn't get any "high end" products, but I don't consider these items "drugstore" either.

Ulta Brand Eyeshadows--In The Buff & Organza; $2.00 each
In The Buff
Organza
Last week Ulta was having a sale on all their products (I'm not sure if the sale is still on). I love both of these colors, I think they are so beautiful! I feel like these two colors mixed together would be a dupe for Sin from Urban Decay. I'm super excited to use these, especially since I have been doing a lot of neutral eyes lately! And they were only $2 each! SCORE! :)


Khroma Beauty Joystick--Babydoll; $8.99
Now I haven't heard the best reviews on Khroma products, but I have heard good things about the joysticks. I've been trying to use different colors on my lips...normally I just go for a nude color. So I wanted to try this baby pink color!  It's really creamy and so far I like it!!


NYX Lipliner Pencil--Dolly Pink; $3.49
I have been wanting a pink lipliner so figured this one would work! I was hoping it would be a perfect match to the Khroma Joystick, but not exactly. But oh well! It still works!

Nordstrom Rack! I have never been to one but have been wanting to! They have a lot of great high end makeup for great prices!


Urban Decay Ammo Palette; $11.97

Top Row--Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call, Chopper

Bottom Row--Maui Wowie, Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter, Sin
First off, I love the packaging! My favorite color is purple, so anything that has purple in it I automatically love it! Second, it's normally $38!!!! They were selling it for $12!!! And third, these colors are absolutely beautiful! I'm so excited to create different eye looks with all of these amazing colors! I also am very excited that Sin is in the palette! I have the Naked 2 so I don't have Sin, but have been wanting it, but just didn't want to pay $18 for a single eye shadow. So excited for this!!! :)

Last but no least...Urban Outfitters! Like Nordstrom Rack, I have never been to Urban Outfitters. Like I said before..I didn't know they sold makeup! 
NYX soft matte lip cream--set of 3; $12.00

Addis Ababa; Tokyo; Antwerp (left to right)
I have never worn a matte lip before but I thought these colors were so pretty! They are so creamy and feel so nice on the lips. My favorite one is Addis Ababa..that looks the best on my pale skin! :)


That is all I got! Please check out Stacie's channel. We filmed a haul for her channel so please go check it out!

Drugstore Makeup Haul {Vacation Edition}


Hello!

This past week I visited one of my best friends Stacie (a.k.a Moorestyle10—check out her Youtube channel) in North Carolina!

We spent a few days in Emerald Isle! So beautiful here!

When I visit her all we ever do is shop! This time almost everything we bought was makeup so I decided to show you guys what I got! This post will be all drugstore items. We went to Wal-mart, CVS, MAC, Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom Rack and Urban Outfitters {stay tuned for a high end haul!}


My goodies! :)
Below the picture of each item I have provided swatches. Stacie (Moorestyle10) helped me out with these...we each did a swatch so you could see what it looks like on two different skin tones. I'm more fair and don't get as tan, Stacie has more yellow undertones but gets super tan. So my arm is the pale one and her arm is the tan one! ;)

Milani Baked Blush--Luminoso; $9.79
I’ve been wanting to try this blush because I’ve seen good reviews on it and have never tried a milani blush! I don't have any coral blushes so figured I would try this one! This was my only purchase from CVS.


The rest of my drugstore makeup is from Wal-mart! I bought so much there! Oops! :) 

Maybelline Baby Lips--Strike a rose; $2.97
I have the peach baby lips and I love that one so when I saw that there was a new collection out and it was neon I had to have one! It’s such a pretty, summer color!



Revlon Lip Butter--Sorbet; $6.48

I absolutely love Revlon Lip Butters! I have a few and just wanted to add to my collection! I’ve been into bright pink lips this summer, so I thought it was a perfect pink! It looks great paired with the baby lips too!


Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes--Blackest Black, $6.94
If you read any of my other posts you know I’m obsessed with Maybelline mascara! When I saw there was a new one out I obviously had to have it! :) I’m super excited to try it!!!! {I might do a review on it?!}


L'oreal Voluminous Kit {False Fiber Lashes Mascara & Smoldering Eyeliner}--Blackest Black/Black; $13.97 
I’ve heard both of these have good reviews. I also wear black eyeliner almost everyday and when I run out I always buy a different one and I really wanted to try this one! And since I’m a mascara junkie, I had to have the kit that comes with the mascara! :)


L'oreal Infallible Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner--Black; $7.97
I’ve been practicing my winged eyeliner and to be honest, it’s not perfect..yet! I’m hoping with the fine point it will help me improve the wing. Plus, I don’t always like a thick line if I’m not winging it!


Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer--125 Fair; $4.97
This is my absolute favorite concealer! I use it under my eyes for my dark circles. I was running out so picked this up again!


I’m so excited to try all of these new products! Stacie and I filmed a drugstore haul for her channel so please go check that out! ---> here
Don’t forget to look for my high end makeup haul! :) If you have any questions please ask!
