august hauls - planner and makeup

hi guys! it's september. what what! anyway, i wanted to share a few of the things i picked up this month! ~Lin-chan ^.~
just to try it, i got an aveeno amazon sample box. these boxes are pretty cool because you get a credit for products in the box (or in this case, brand) for your next qualifying purchase within the year. so i ended up ordering a 3 pack (not pictured) of the included body wash which was diabeetus in a bottle. it claims to be vanilla and oats scented, but i smelled straight up cake batter, and it was delicious. annnd i went a lil crazy in the skincare section at walmart. that shea moisture rose mud mask is really good, and i hate rose scented things! the yes to charcoal mask is nice, and i wanted to get the third loreal face wash that i didn't order previously.

this pic is a few different places and orders.. at sephora, i went in to redeem my play! points card and got one of their new clay masks. such neat packaging! then i needed some more parian spirit (not pictured) and i ordered a mini z palette from beautylish. at sally's i think i needed cotton balls? the bags are huge there and i picked up a macadamia natural oil healing oil spray and nail file--these nail files are super inexpensive and good. and finally, at ulta, i got the it cosmetics superhero liner, daBomb bath bombs, bronx cosmetics eyeshadow in bronze (which is in a non-magnetized pan....), and becca shimmering skin perfector in lilac geode. also, below is a swatch of all the becca highlighters i have in comparison to lilac geode if you want that reference..

it liner, bronx bronze, becca lilac geode

TheCoffeeMonsterzCO collabed with SparklyPaperCo and made this super cute unicorn set! i also ordered several sheets from the tcmc birthday sale!

and i placed two orders with WontonInAMillion! so kyoot!

march hauls

 

it's the end of the month, and that means it's march hauls time! woohoo! as mentioned in my birthday post, i bought a few other things with the money and gift cards i received. i gots a lotta goodies and pretties! ~Lin-chan ^.~

body shop: they were having a crazy ridiculous deal, buy three get three free, free shipping, and a free hand cream when you spend $50. uhh, hello. yes. i got a few olive scented products and some tea tree oil products.

nyx cosmetics: prismatic eyeshadows in bedroom eyes, golden peach, liquid gold; powder blushes in mocha and rose garden, high voltage lipstick in tiara, and wicked lippy in power. somehow their lip pencil in earth tone ended up in my box (freebie?)..but it looks really brown for me, so i'll probably pass it off.

golden peach, liquid gold, bedroom eyes (all swatched dry); rose garden, mocha

power -- totally would have rocked this in middle or high school

tiara -- this shade photographs really nicely, but in real life it's a lot pinker on me, closer to my arm swatch

sephora: bite beauty march 2015 limited lab release lipstick (chilly pepper), sephora collection solid brush cleaner, mufe artist shadows in ME612, S556, I628 (three of the four in the 50 shades give into me set, the fourth is I514--which i already bought), koh gen do pure cotton (to try it out), redeemed points for marc jacobs beauty highliner gel eye crayon in blacquer

ME612, S556, I628 (swatched dry); blacquer

bite march lipstick - chilly pepper: full color, this is sooo me, lemme tell ya.. i think i prefer it sheered out.

makeup geek: soft dome brush, pointed crease brush, shadow pans in: pretentious, barcelona beach, beaches and cream

beaches and cream, barcelona beach, pretentious (all swatched dry)

bbb: (press on nails) broadway impress in shimmer, fing'rs prints in on the dot

1. i've been reluctant to try the fing'rs ones because when you buy them, they only have the small nails on top, which makes it seem like it's for kids. but the larger nails (thumbs, etc) are on a sheet below. also, since this set has the little heart charms, it comes with additional adhesive strips for them. these nails have the adhesive already applied to them, without a backing, and you just press them on and go. see my impressions/review here.
2. unfortunately, i bought this set of broadway impress nails like two days before i heard about the recent controversy -- stealing blogger nail art designs without consent and selling them in press-on form. fortunately, a nude glitter is not owned by anyone... 

ulta: simple skincare cleansing wipes 2 pack, ulta illuminating powder in pink diamond, eyeshadow in sandstone, cotton rounds, freebie ulta bag-o goodies, and dr. teal's foaming bath in eucalyptus spearmint

• i was actually trying to buy a hairdryer and i threw in all this stuff to get to $50 and free shipping...but that was a fail and it was out of stock. at the very least, they charged me just for these items and still gave me free shipping. but sadface that their site doesn't always reflect unavailable products.

sandstone (swatched dry), pink diamond

mac cosmetics: bao bao wan jewels veluxe pearlfusion shadow palette

[swatched over elf essential eye primer]

ulta: lorac pro to go palette & freebie mini porefection face primer, philosophy microdelivery exfoliating wash, freeman beauty sweet tea and lemon peel away clay mask, nyx hd blushes in intuition and hamptons
cvs: almay clear complexion concealer (unpackaged), loreal infallible eye crayon in always aqua
