Makeup Haul | Spring 2018


It's been a little while since my last post and video.
So, I'm going to catch you up on the products (and places) I have been loving this spring!


1. Too Faced - Best Year Ever: Makeup Collection


 Three Palettes each with six eyeshadows and each palette has one face product (blush, bronzer/contour, highlighter).
It also comes with a travel size of their cult-classic mascara and a look book to get you started.
All of this comes in a cute gold carrying case that I have already gotten a ton of use out of.
The shadows and face products have good color pay off and are matte and shimmer finishes.



*Side Note: Let's talk about customer service:
I purchased this lovely set during Too Faced's 'Need It' sale on their website.
It had been a few days since my purchase and I was concerned that the order had been lost because I had not received an order confirmation or any shipping notices.
So, I contacted Too Faced's customer service via email and was assured my order was on its way and that it was just backed up due to the sale.
No problem, I was happy as long as it was coming.
A few weeks ago I received an email from Too Faced saying that due to the delay in shipping of my order, they are going to give me 25% off and free shipping on my next order from their website.
I am so impressed with their service and quickness of their response to my initial inquiry.
I highly recommend Too Faced's website.


2. Urban Decay - Toublemaker Eyeshadow Palette


I went to Destiny USA Mall for the day and went to Nordstrom Rack.
I bought this little palette, which comes with a travel size Troublemaker mascara.
I think this palette is also available on Sephora's website.


The colors are edgy and lean more towards cool tones.
The mascara gives nice lengthen, however I would say it comes in second to their Perversion mascara.

3. It's Sugar - Elvis T-Shirt

All marshmallow cereal does exist!


It's Sugar is the cutest candy store with every kind of candy you can imagine. 
They have giant boxes of gummy bears, Starburst, etc.


I, of course, did what every normal persons does in a candy store: I bought an Elvis T-Shirt!
I was saving my sugar money for...



4. Lindt Store - Chocolate


150 pieces. $40. Need I say more?



*A little more on Destiny USA Mall:
It has numerous stores, a ton of restaurants (I ate at Cheescake Factory), a movie theater and IMAX, a bowling alley, an escape room, an interactive mystery museum, go-karts, and so much more!

 



5. Urban Decay - Vice Liquid Lipstick 


I had to order from Sephora so I could get a free gift for getting older.
One of my purchases was Vice lipstick from Urban Decay in the color Purgatory.
It is a pretty wine-purple shade with gold glitter. 
The color goes on sheerer but it can be built up for a more intense shade.
For about $9 it was a steal from UD ;-)



6. Too Faced - Life's a Festival Palette


I am literally in LOVE with this palette! I'm doing a proper review video on it now, so stay tuned!


7. Sephora - Bite Beauty Lip Set

This year was a choice between Bite Beauty and Glamglow.
I chose Bite and I am so pleased with their lip products.
They are so hydrating and give a nice hint of color.


8. Sephora - Bonuses


You always get 3 free samples with a Sephora order.
I picked YSL concealer, Chole fragrance, and Too Faced glitter glue.
And with one of the codes in their emails (see above) I got 10 different foundation samples and a trial size of Too Faced's Hangover Rx Primer.
