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!

december & january hauls

hiya. part two of my december and january hauls: the other stuff. ~Lindsay

a beautiful mind a beautiful life -- so, i took a photo with not my book, lol. this is actually T or A's book, i actually preordered the kindle version and downloaded it the day it came out. then maybe a week or two later, i actually started reading the first section. unfortunately, i haven't had the patience to get back to reading it because of the fact that it's an ebook (using kindle for iphone), but reading just that first section prompted me to buy three physical copies for these two and my cousin. i really really need to get back to this book because i'm probably missing out on something good, but so many other things on the brain right now...

this is the item from november..? that i mentioned that i was giving to a friend as well. i actually took mine apart and gave a few of the pieces away as gifts, but i really wanted to try the dr. brandt magnetic mask, and i thought this was a pretty good price for all these items. and no, ugh, this is another skincare thing that i haven't tried using yet. #skincarebacklog ....

made an ulta order to try out these new loreal galaxy shadows. they are really pretty. i'm not as huge into full moon (gold one), but the other two...nice! then this tako mask is sooo funny. tako is japanese for octopus..as shown on the packaging, but the actual nose strip is shaped like the white thing on the tako's face. it has a bulby thing above your unibrow and then the nose part has two little wings on each side. it was pretty interesting to use and i liked it! and i also got two morphe brushes to try (M501, M530). i want to say that jaclyn hill mentioned these two as some of her favorites (a looong time ago and i noted them down), so i got them. then i got another impress nail set that i wore around christmas, which were one shine day style. i also wore a different set for new years, the kiss gel fantasy in faux real which for whatever reason i never photographed.. and i don't remember what sets these three liquid lipsticks from colourpop were from, but i bought a bunch as christmas gifts, broke them apart and saved these three for myself.

got a whole lotta random in this photo here! i decided that i haven't been washing my sponges often enough, so i wanted to get another set of real techniques erasers. these were like $2 on amazon from actual amazon (not fulfilled by!). yes, i think i'll take that and get it in two days! next, i actually ordered this with something for my sister in-law's christmas present..from china... i got a dissar purifying peel off mask because, i want to try the 'facebook' black mask. why not? at target, or maybe walmart?, i got the maybelline master prime blur and smooth primer to try. from sephora, i wanted to get the new kat von d studded kiss lipstick in bow n arrow because i really like the liquid lip version. and i think i was trying to use a gift card or use a coupon code or something, so i also got another urban decay vice liquid lipstick in amulet (love it! why's it on clearance?), and i wanted to try the ordinary.'s salicylic acid gel, and a mini belif true cream aqua bomb. and this is not really a haul item, but the lady that cuts my hair passed this hand cream along to my mom for me for christmas. i really need to go visit her again soon! lastly, because i wanted to even though i suck at hand lettering...i bought two more brush pens to play with. (tombow dual ended brush pen N15, zebra brush pen P-WF1)

another sephora thinnng! i saw this sephora favorites selfie kit and had to get it. the tartiest liner is $24 by itself and it's full size. whatt. the marc jacobs mascara is great! i'm kinda whatever with the milk blur stick, and i'm passing the becca opal along because how many of these things have i ever gotten now... i think we're in the teens now for just opal alone. and i was interested in trying out this powder and liquid lip. as for freebies with purchase(s?), i got two tacha things and a blender cleanser solid mini. the water cream and the deep cleanse. i've tried the water cream maybe twice now, and i was very oily in the morning after, but not overly so. idk. and i haven't tried the cleanser yet. something else i haven't tried yet, but found on clearance at ulta, is this super cute tony moly set, which has a panda's dream cooling eye stick and a pocket bunny perfume bar.

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!

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!!!
