Beauty Haul | Fall 2018


My favorite products, limited edition sets, and clothing come out for the fall/winter season.
So, it makes sense that I may go a little overboard on my shopping
(*Inner voice* "you can never go overboard when it comes to shopping").


You can watch the video haul here:



In no particular order, here are some of my favorite purchases (so far):


1. Too Faced: Glitter Bomb Palette





It's no secret that I love glitter, and this palette is like a glitter explosion!
These glitters are super versatile. There are 5 different ways to wear them!

1. Straight Up Eyeshadow: On a brush and placed directly on the lid. Minimal fallout, decent glitter and color payoff;
2. White, Brightening Base: It comes with a white eyeshadow to apply before the glitter shade of your choice. The result is a bright, glittery, lit-from-within appearance;
3. Black, Intensifying Base: The palette also includes a matte black eyeshadow that can be applied under the glitter shade. This combo gives a rich, vivid look against the sparkling glitter eyeshadow;
4. Damp Makeup Brush: Dampen a brush with water, dip in glitter shadow and apply to lid for an intense color and shimmer;
5. Ring-Finger, Center of Lid: To add a bit of extra sparkle to any eye look, dip ring-finger into a glitter shadow and press it onto the center of the eyelid.

My preferred method of application is using my ring-finger; it picks up the most glitter and color.
Too Faced also makes a glitter glue that helps keep every fleck of glitter in place.
#Bonus:

I received two free bonuses with my Too Faced order:

Too Faced: Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Chihuahua


TF's famous liquid lipstick in the shade Chihuahua, a warm, neutral brown shade, with a comfortable finish. 

Too Faced: Born This Way Concealer Sample 



 A nice little sample card of their Born This Way concealer.
Smooth, blendable, and I'm definitely thinking of purchasing a full-sized bottle.



2. theBalm: Balm Voyage Vol. 2 Travel Palette





Another cutesy palette from theBalm Cosmetics.
I got this on sale at Cosmo Prof.

 9 eyeshadows ranging from matte to shimmer finish and light to dark shades.
They have excellent staying power, and no creasing, even without a primer.
2 Blushes one in pink and one in coral, both shades blend nicely on the face.
1 highlighter in a champagne-y shade gives a subtle glow.
1 bronzer shade, which honestly, made me breakout.
That does not mean it will make you breakout, because everyone's skin reacts differently.
None of the other items in this palette made me breakout.
2 Lip/cheek colors one in a rosy shade and the other in a coral-y shade. 
They give a nice tint of color to the lips. I don't use them on my face.

A great travel palette because it has everything you need to create a look on the go.



3. Bath & Body Works: Lotion, Shower Gel, Fragrance Mist





I am obsessed with Bath & Body Works winter scents!
So, I tend to go a little crazy when they are rereleased each year
(like climbing a shelf to get the last shower gel. I DO NOT recommend trying that).
And with coupons plus a 'Buy 3 Get 3 Free' sale, I was like a kid in a candy shop.

Vanilla Bean Noel: My all time favorite scent! I got the body lotion, shower gel, and Ultra Shea body cream because I like to channel my inner vanilla sugar cookie.
Twisted Peppermint: With fine fragrance mist & body cream, you too can be scented like a candy cane.
Winter Candy Apple: A light, sweet scent that makes you crave a candy apple.

Maybe I'm really just hungry for dessert when I shop for these.
Either way, these products are wonderful and not to be missed!



4. Too Faced: Dream Queen Limited-Edition Make Up Collection






I wait all year for Too Faced's seasonal makeup collection to arrive at Sephora.
And this year's has not disappointed!

24 beautiful and highly pigmented shadows
2 soft, blendable blushes
1 Shimmering highlighter
1 Bronzer shade
+
Hangover RX Setting Spray
Dreamy Lips Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Shade Pink Swan
Mini tube of their famous mascara
Fold-over bag

Such a fan of this set, I plan to do a separate review with swatches, so stay tuned!




5. Sephora Samples




First, I need to get this out there: REALLY Sephora?
You cut down the samples from three to two?
Half the time I didn't get the ones I chose anyway, so seriously?
I feel better now.



I am enjoying these samples though

bareMinerals: COMPLEXION RESCUE Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream in Vanilla 02, Natural 05, Tan 07, Chestnut 09
Dior: Joy




6. Sephora Bag




Okay, I forgive you, Sephora. I could never stay mad at you.
One of the beauty offers they had when I ordered was for a bag filled with goodies.
In this bag I got:

Briogeo: Rosarco Blow Dry Perfection Heat Protectant Crème
Glow Recipe: Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask
Fresh: Soy Face Cleanser
Caudalie: Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet
Lancôme: Définicils - High Definition Mascara
Urban Decay: All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
Tarte: Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint


I have only had a chance to try a couple of these products so far.
I do love what I have had a chance to use!



7. DSW: White Mountain Lida Boot - Women's - Black




Since we are currently experiencing our second snow storm this season, I didn't buy these boots any time too soon.
These boots are warm, comfortable, and I love the buckles.
These are my new go-tos.



8. Kohl's: Sweater, shirt, slippers




Candie's: Chenille Eyelash Long Sleeve Top in Soft Mauve

 
       This is the softest, most comfortable sweater I've ever worn.
It comes in several colors, and I want them all 😄



SO: Plaid Button-Front Shirt 


I'm such a sucker for plaid.
Every time I go to Kohl's, I head for the 80% off section and always buy some plaid.
Another color to add to my collection.


MUK LUKS: Scrunchy Boot Slippers




LC Lauren Conrad: Plush Boot Slippers in Gray 



I'm such a nerd, but I love slippers!
Partly because I'm always cold, but also because these are incredibly cute!
Both of these are crazy comfy and let's just say it, adorable!
