Spring Beauty Haul, Part II

Spring Beauty Haul, Part II

Time for part two of my spring beauty haul! Clinique Pep Start SPF 50 and Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion I am a big fan of the Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion. The texture is more gel-like, and it goes on so smooth. There’s absolutely no white cast and my make up looks great on top of it. I don’t…

Spring Beauty Haul, Part I

Spring Beauty Haul, Part I

It’s been a while since I participated in a full-on beauty haul, which is why I picked up almost everything I wanted. Sephora recently had its spring sale for its members, and Nordstrom smartly matched 15% on most beauty items. Naturally, I double-dipped. I’m breaking this post up into two parts, because it gets long! Fenty Pro Filt’r Matte and…

The blushes are buildable and show up nicely on my dark skin. The…

Today I have a haul to share with you all! I went to New York several months ago and came back with some brand new goodies.

Makeup By Mario Haul and First Impressions

Today I have a little Makeup by Mario haul to share. I really love the work that Mario does so when he released his first full line of makeup, I knew had to try a few pieces. I chose eye and cheek products because those were what I was most interested in. I managed to snag the eye palette on…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul

I thought I might make out with more than I did from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale – I had 32 items on my wish list. I ended up with just a few things from the sale and some regular all-year-around stuff. The best part is, it’s all still available at the great prices I picked them up for.

Ulta Haul!

Ulta Haul!

A few weeks back when Ulta had a 20% off sale, I picked up quite a few items. It’s funny because the Sephora sale was just before that and I did not partake at all. Here’s what I made out with.

3 Days in New York | Asian Beauty Haul

I spent three full days in New York over the holiday weekend with Angela and Renee from Beautyandthecat and it was great; one of the best. There was nothing out of the ordinary; there was shopping, there was eating, and there was karaoke! I suppose it was more of a much-needed distraction from all the happenings in the world. I…

Makeup Goodies I Picked Up in London

I recently came back from a solo birthday trip to London. It was my first time there, and actually in England, period.  Shopping in London is magnificent. I mean out of this world amazing! But expensive…  one sterling pound, or quid as they like to call it, was $1.77! I pretty much had to think of it like twice as…
