collective haul: sephora and other purchases

hi. 🙋 my name is lindsay, and i have a problem: i hit rouge status again...in july. 🙊
if i miss discussing certain items photographed in this post, it's because they're all repurchases that i've talked about at least a handful of times before in the past. ~Lindsay ^.~

i'm not really sure what the hype with this kush mascara is... it's good, but like it's kind of dry compared to other mascaras, and performs ok-ish. every time i wore it, it'd flake and i'd have random black spots or streaks on my face.... i have been liking this sample of boscia's cactus water moisturizer! it's an interesting texture.

i'm not going to lie, i definitely bought this inner beauty favorites set for the bottle. i know. that's super sad. but i wanted to try it and have oneeeee. and the fenty liner is pretty awesome. i kind of wish it was a brush tip, but given the formula it's understandable that it's a felt tip.

i'm also finally on the estee lauder double wear bandwagon. i tried it for the first time just the other day and it's a lot more lightweight than the double wear light---which by name makes no sense, but you know... 💁 i'm in the shade 1w2 for those wondering. also, for as much as i kinda criticized the idea of redeeming this 250 point perk, the notebook and pen are actually nice. i love this type of pen!

had i hauled the bum bum bath bombas before...? they're amazing, but $10 each is expensive! so be sure to wait for sephora sales!

also, i had a sample of the clinique acne+line correcting serum, it's nice. i also got a sample of the new ddm jelly and i don't like it. i didn't feel like it did much for me, so it got passed along. and because i got them on the same trip, pictured here are the loreal brow stylist and febreze unstopables melts in shimmer (like the downy unstopables for your laundry). this brow gel is not the same as the previous and i'm not sure how i feel about it yet.

got a few things from sally's, target(?), and urban decay as well! i love these hair masks! and they were on sale at the time that i ordered them! these are the "OG" ones, not the new masks that aren't good whatsoever. then from urban decay, i redeemed my birthday sin highlighter...again. and i got another primer potion and their new-ish waterliner in legend. from sephora, i got an old favorite - buxom foundation in dim the light, the estee lauder double wear concealer in warm light, as well as the ordinary.'s makeup primer. i ended up passing the face primer along, because i couldn't deal with the scent.

sin, warm light, legend

a few more ulta things that i missed! also, i'm pretty sure i've converted to drunk elephant. the tlc sukari babyfacial is awesome!
and i also got a lot of goodies from beautylish. i was running low on parian spirit, and i needed more of the ordinary.'s salicylic acid. i also grabbed one of their retinoids to try. i tried out this clean apothecary brush shampoo, it works well enough, but i didn't try foundation-caked brushes in it yet. and i think this oribe dry shampoo was a freebie? i didn't order it, but it got passed along since i don't use them often enough.

it cosmetics has having a friends and family sale at the time i ordered this..if i remember right. got two favorites!
skindinavia - repurchasing because i needed more!

march hauls (mostly planner)

i think this'll be the last ketchup (hehe) post for today. this concludes all of the photos that i already had taken and edited up to this point. look forward to more posts in the coming week!

here's all the stuff i bought last month! a lot of stickers and a lil bit of makeupy skincare stuff. ~Lindsay

all of the bath things from ulta! got this unicorn dreams bath bomb gift set, which i have yet to open and use... but it's sooo adorbz. then soap & glory was bogo half off, so i got 4 bath bombs, 2 original pink and one of smoothie star and sugar crush. i've used one of the original pink ones and will further elaborate in my empties post when i finish making it.. i also saw that tree hut has sheet masks, and these were also bogo half off. so why not? i also restocked on my shiseido facial cottons, and tree hut sugar scrubs (also bogo half off), which there's a limited edition lemon blueberry tart scent that sounded interesting. annnd less than a week after getting the stupid expensive memebox mini meow trio, i went back and bought a full size of space kitten because love.
a lil complaint here... so i've had an email alert set on my shade of the fenty foundation on sephora set for the past 3 months - no joke, and i have yet to get a restock notification. every time i used the inventory thingy as i got close to the end of my last bottle, it would never show as being available in my area. so i went ahead and ordered directly on the fenty website, got free 2day shipping for spending all the monies, and then got my package basically the next day. WHAT.
sigma has a new rewards system or something that involves points and getting dollars off of your purchase. i had been wanting a mr. bunny set for freaking ever, primarily because i wanted to try the sigmax F40, which was otherwise not offered. then these two brushes were on the clearance page, so i went ahead and grabbed them.
colourpop had some offer, maybe free shipping or something, and i wanted to try their flat kabuki brush. so that's that..

funky split photo because i suck at remembering what is in what photo because i took them on different days...

at the sephoras.. i got two lip masks because i was redeeming my sephora play! points card. then the urban decay x kristen leanne bun bun lipstick was only $8 on the weekly wow...had to grab that!

at target, i got more washi and a dr. bronner's peppermint lip balm. it seems like they're branching out into other products aside from the liquid and bar soaps, but for now, i wanted to try the lip balm.

bun bun

planner stuffs.
sailor. moon. all. the. things.

keatown - it was only march, but i went ahead and got a christmas kit, lol!

jlynnpaperco - got two sampler sets, and they're sooo cute. also got a few character sheets and kits.

tcmc -- super lucky! i made it in to get the freebies from the other stores! ordered the anniversary set, along with a few other random sheets and monthly kits.

oh hello co -- i can't recall the rationale for the purchase (birthday coupon?) but i had to get these! it's been quite a while since i'd ordered from them!

cyber two weeks and other recent hauls

hi guys! so online shopping is a bigger thing this year, and a lot of places were doing sales for like "black friday week" and "cyber [monday] week" thus...two weeks of sales. also, a few items snuck into a few late/last minute photos i was taking....so we're just going to rename this post to 'and other recent' hauls..... 😉 ~Lindsay

cyber deals
popsugar must have sale -- i can't remember the exact deal, but it worked out to be 3 boxes for about $60 (august through november 2017), which is awesome considering they're $40 a month. i ordered two for me (october and november), and another as a gift.
beautylish black friday bioderma sale -- they've done this for the last year or more, where you get a free travel size with each 500mL bottle you buy, and it's $30 to get free shipping, so i just got the 3(6) pack for $45ish? something like that. i won't need micellar water for a loooong time!

october, november

tarte tarteist pro glow to go palette

sephora sent out coupons to everyone. this year's rouge coupon was $25 off $50, so i ordered another fenty foundation in 140 and a nude beautyblender. i also redeemed points for the new beautyblender pro cleanser bar because it's $45 for a 5oz bar! that's crazy! but maybe it'll be awesome? who knows..
while i was at it...i bought more sponges! all of the blenders! i got a set of lamora sponges from amazon for like $13. i was also at target and got the blue sponge for $5, not sure of the brand because there were only two stickers on the container: the barcode and the price, and i tossed it. for those interested, i found these sponges on an endcap in the makeup section with other minis, and i approve! i also got two nugg masks, one for the face and their lip mask. the lip mask is only ok, it's basically blistex ointment in a pot for more money..? idk. then, at walmart, i saw these soo ae masks and needed to try them!

PlannerStudio on etsy was having a black friday deal 30 sheets of mi'me's for $30 in skin/hair colors of choice. uh heck yes. not only that, she allowed for 5 keywords to cater the random pulls. there are a couple duplicates, but for the most part, she was spot on with some sheets that i wanted, which was super exciting! her shop is definitely worth the wait! (note: these sheets are about the size of a baseball card)

other recent haul things
sephora -- saw tracy and stephanie talking about this sephora favorites set at jcp and had to get it! as mentioned earlier, buy all the beautyblenders! i love all nighter and tattoo liner, smashbox primer's pretty good, and three other things to try? heck yes! then, makeup forever appears to have repackaged (reformulated too??) their artist eyeshadows, so i got 3 (M532, ME912, ME840) and a large pan to try! (you get some kind of discount when you buy them with cases..) and i don't recall how i redeemed them, but i also obtained a mini tom ford lipstick in indian rose and too faced milk chocolate soleil bronzer.
makeup geek was doing a 12 days of christmas sale, and i had been eyeing their nude palette for a while now, but couldn't bring myself to buy it because i already had half of the shades in it. when i saw that they were offering the always quad with the 4 new shadows, i jumped on it because these were what i wanted from that palette!

stila patina, tarte stunner

M532, ME912, ME840, so pale, buffed, creased, dark roast -- swatched over primer

tom ford indian rose, too faced milk chocolate

ulta -- these guys have been ridiculously awesome this year. all of the crazy awesome brands that they're now carrying, in a week or two they're going to announce their new tier of membership (which will likely be akin to rouge status), and of course the points become dollars off your purchase. yes. anyway, they sent out yet another 20% off everything including prestige... and i'm about halfway down my tarte maracuja eye cream, so i decided to get another, and get a backup it cosmetics bye bye under eye corrector in light. i also got two tony moly sheet masks, and they were offering mystery bags, which i'll probably give most of away because i'm not going to use it. but awesome nonetheless!

OWML 2nd anniversary box -- sooo many goodies!!!

OMWL & TCMC december/end of year stickers

sephora rouge sale haul

hi! sooo. rouge sale happened over two weekends this year, and here's what i gots! ~Lin-chan ^.~
there's one more thing not pictured that i will share sometime next month, because i also bought one for someone else for christmas.
alsoooo. please excuse the new setup while i try to play with the lighting and all. at the apartment, i had a bookshelf on the right side of my desk that the lamp was on, but the bookshelf ended up on the left side of my desk with new arrangement in the house. i do still have the shoe shelf on the left side (slightly pictured) which i moved the lamp onto. but i still managed to arrange everything too close to it. 💁

bow n arrow, rebel, mauvember 2017

1. nest festive candle trio -- this has the holiday candle, birchwood pine, and sugar cookie. i think last year..? i bought a mini of the holiday candle and loved it. so guess who splurged this year, because woodsy and sweet, and candle i liked last time... yeah.
2. kat von d liquid lipstick in bow n arrow -- i'm working my way through my mini and wanted to get a full size before i ran out and discount.
3. urban decay vice lipstick in rebel -- ok, seriously this packaging was what caught my attention... anyway, it was new. there were no swatches by anyone. people in the 10 or so reviews said it was great, work appropriate, very wearable. i had to try it!
4. peace out acne dots -- so guess who got repurchased before the other.. 😉 yes these are more expensive than the peter thomas roth dots, but i feel like these work better. i also like these more because they're thicker and easier to apply and remove. the ptr ones are super thin and a lot of times, i end up folding over an edge just trying to peel it off the sheet...super annoying.
5. fenty beauty foundation in 140 -- so i caved and went ahead because 20% off. i also got my sephora color IQ thing done, so whoever is wondering, i'm 5Y06. i've been using it consistently for a couple weeks now (4-5 pumps), and it definitely matches me better than the 150 sample i had, which was a little pink but still pretty close on me. coverage-wise, applying with a brush is better. finish-wise, i like applying it with a sponge. either i'm applying it poorly or it's just too much and a little bunchy when i use a brush, but i think the sponge spreads it more evenly even though the coverage is thinner that way.
6. marvis toothpaste in classic strong mint -- tati (and james) rave about this toothpaste. i got a smaller tube of a 'normal' flavor to try and see what's so special about it. i've used it twice so far, and it's not life changing, it's whatever. maybe the other flavors last longer?
7. bite beauty amuse bouche liquified lip in mauvember 2017 -- i wasn't sure about also getting the multistick, because i'd probably end up using it as a lipstick too and not much else. so i didn't, and i also wanted to try out this formula since i've never gotten one of these before.
8. clinique great skin great deal set for types 3-4 -- i actually buy this set a lot. i mean, it's the same price as buying the ddm gel by itself, so why not get a travel size of the toner i use, and a meh face wash, for basically free?
9. freebies
1. lancome monsieur big mascara
2. sephora collection pro flawless airbrush #56 (rouge renewal brush) -- anyone else slightly disappointed with this year's gift.. like you can reuse it and sephora collection brushes are pretty good and all, but i'm kinda underwhelmed by a mini brush for $1k. just sayin.
