february hauls

hi guys! let's see... stuff i got in february.... it actually wasn't all that much, considering i blew my budget on stickers, i made an early february haul post, and my birthday was just the other day, so i kind of needed to not buy all the things! lol. i will try to get up a few more of my end of month, february sephora play, and nail muse review posts sometime later today or tomorrow, since i've got time to work on them later. ~Lindsay

note: i just realized i don't have arm swatches of anything in this post.... 😱 i don't have time to photograph them right now, but i'll edit this post and add them later today before working on the other posts! i wanted to get this post out the door because there aren't many lip swatches of people wearing the new kat von d studded kiss lipstick in divine!

sephora - turquoise beauty blender because everything blue(-green)! also picked up another tarte maracuja eye cream because i somehow forgot i already had a backup..... and got a sample of the marc jacobs shameless foundation in Y210. i also got my bite birthday gift, along with kat von d's studded kiss lipstick in divine. i've tried fresh's oval soaps a long long time ago and really liked them (aside from their massive size), so i wanted to try this one because i couldn't remember if i had this scent before - sugar lemon. i also grabbed a sample of benefit's new bad gal bang mascara.
skindinavia - 25% off! w00t. got another oil control setting spray, and two freebies of their primer spray and (regular) setting spray.
walmart/amazon - finally jumping on the green color corrector/concealer bandwagon because my face was not happy this month. got the maybelline master camo and la girl pro conceal.

makeupgeek: they were having 10% off mug products so i went ahead. marlena's always raving about the gel liner in immortal, so i got one. then i wanted a second soft dome brush, and i've been wanting to get baby face eyeshadow. also, i've been wanting to get a vera mona colorswitch, so i bought a solo from them as well.

babyface, immortal

ulta: urban decay naked smoky palette -- i was good and waited for it to become available on the ulta side...because i had over 1000 points ($50 off) accumulated..and so this palette was basically free =D
