Spotted: CoverGirl New TruBlend & TruMagic Products

Hey everyone! Look at this huge display! I can't believe that I almost walked past it. The CVS store that I went to had huge storage tins all over the beauty aisles, which was really annoying. I don't know how they would even sell any items with storage tins blocking everything. That's why my first picture was a bit blurry. It was kind of hard for me to take a picture of the whole display with storage tins all around me. I was so afraid that someone might bump into them and it would come crashing all down on me. Scary! So I did all this for you guys! CoverGirl came out with a bunch of new products for their new TruMagic line. They came out with "primer," foundations and concealers. If you are interested, definitely keep reading, especially if you are a CoverGirl fan! Plus I also include a few swatches of the products shown because the display had testers! What is even better is that each shade of the foundations had it's very own tester so now everyone can find their perfect shade. 

(L-R) The Mattifier, The Sunkisser, and the Luminer

The first product that I am going to show you guys are the CoverGirl TruMagic Skin Perfectors. I have heard that some people say that these remind them of the Mally Poreless face Defender. I think that's what Mally's product is called. I have seen it and the actual product is pretty similar to the first shade shown in the picture. I haven't tried the one from Mally so I can't compare the two but I am sure that someone out there already has done a blog post or a video comparing the two already. There are 3 different shades for the Skin Perfectors. They are the Mattifier, the Sunkisser and the Luminizer. Each has it's own purpose as you can tell from its name. These claim to be oil-free and soft to the touch. You can use these under and/or over your makeup. I was mainly interested in the Mattifier and the Sunkisser, to be honest. I was definitely excited that the display has testers for me to swatch and post for you guys! 

I was pretty excited to try these out. I don't really use primers but I do love trying out products that claim to give you a mattifying finish. I don't really like foundations that claim to give a glow because I feel like my face just looks oily throughout the day. I prefer having a matte finish so this seemed like an interesting product. It did have an interesting feel to it. These do look like a cream product in the packaging but they feel like a solid gel type consistency. When swatches, this has a clear look to it. It swatched it on my hand and it made me hand look pore-less and matte. I am not sure if you can see that in the picture but if you zoom in, you would be able to tell. If I were to buy this, I think I would definitely love using this under my makeup as a primer.

This one is called the Sunkisser. It has the same solid gel-like consistency. When swatched on the hand, this product reminds me of a cream bronzer. I really like this product and think it will be great to use as contouring. It blended so well when I swatched it on my hand. Since this is a solid gel-like consistency, I feel like I would have better luck contouring with this than with an actual cream bronzer. Let me know what you guys think as well.

This one is called the Luminzer and it has the same consistency as the other two products. shown above. The Luminer looks like a golden shimmery product in the pan but once swatched, all you really see is the yellow golden shimmers. I am not sure how I feel about this but then again, I only swatched it twice. Haha! All three TruMagic Skin Perfectors have a silky feel to it. If you haven't tried them yet, out of the three that I have tried from the testors on the display, I would probably end up buying the Mattifier and the SunKisser because of how it performs on the skin.

I love how CoverGirl came out with a variety of shades for this line. They have some for light, medium, and deep skin tones. I do wish that they had regular names for the shades, rather than numbers. I am just weird like that. Usually I would buy medium beige and any shade similar to my skin tone with the name beige in it. Most of the time that works for me. Haha! I am glad that each shade has a tester because that makes it so easy to find your correct shade. Too bad not all drugstores do this with their new and permanent products. 

First off let me say that these foundations come with pumps!! When I pumped some onto my fingers, I noticed that the foundation is definitely on the runny side. I have to say from what I noticed is that its not heavy coverage. I would say with one layer, its probably light to medium but more light coverage. It would have been better if I had swatched it on the back of my other hand because I have a mole on that hand so it would be better to see the coverage. 

The new display also came with new CoverGirl TruBlend FixStick Concealers. These pretty much remind me of the L'Oreal stick concealers, packaging-wise. I don't know how well they perform but I remember a lot of people loving the L'Oreal one when it first came out. People were crazy over the L'Oreal ones because they were great as a concealer (under eye and blemishes), eyeliner (to brighten up the waterliner), inner corner highlight, and etc. I wonder if these are meant for different uses. Let me know if you guys have tried these or if you have seen any of these products at your stores. I would love to hear your opinions on all these products and whether or not you would love to try these.

Spotted: Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

Hey everyone! First off, how cute is this new collection from Maybelline? I was definitely attracted to the cute blue and pink packaging when I first saw these. It sort of reminds me of the cute packaging on Japanese products. This new collection is the Maybelline "Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser" and these claim to give you a poreless finish. I am guessing that these are pretty much similar to the Benefit PoreFessional Primer and they even have the similar baby blue packaging. I actually haven't tried the Benefit PoreFessional Primer so I can't compare the two but if you have, please leave a comment below telling us your thoughts. This claims to "visibly blue pores without clogging them and smooths and refines skin."

I haven't tried this yet but I know for sure, once it goes on sale, I will definitely be grabbing one to try. I like the concept on how it claims to give you a poreless finish. Who wouldn't want to try out a product with that kind of claim and get a flawless face?

Stila Cosmetics Haul

Hey everyone! I actually just got my package about two weeks ago and just had the time to type everything up. If you didn't know, Stila Cosmetics had a sale on their website where everything was 50% off!! Of course, I couldn't pass that up but I have to admit, I checked out the sale like about 4 times before I just told myself to go ahead and buy it. Since the sale also included their clearance items, I knew that I had to check that out first. I arrived to the sale a bit late and most of the items were already sold out like the lip gloss sets and their mini eyeshadow palettes but thats fine. I know that I sort of went overboard with the sale but I was able to get another discount additional to the 50% off so I knew that I had to buy.

WHAT I BOUGHT:
◊ Stila In The Know Palette
◊ Stila In The Moment Palette
I was actually going to buy the palette with all the neutral shades but I figured that I already have other great neutral, everyday palettes (like Naked, Naked 2, and Lorac Pro) so I decided to pick up two other palettes instead. In The Know palette is a great palette for those who love matte shadows since this palette has only matte shades. In The Moment is a neutral palette but it contains purple shades as well and I have been trying to wear more purple eye looks since purple is supposed to enhance brown eyes. Both palettes come with an eyeliner and a mini book to recreate certain looks. I got such a great deal on these two that I wish I had bought all their In The.. eyeshadow palettes.

◊ Stila Positively Pink Set (x2)
This set was such a great deal that I had to buy two. I bought it intentionly to give to my sister but she told me that she "doesn't wear makeup anymore" so I didn't tell her that I bought something for her. Whats the point, right? This set is nice because $1 from each purchase will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Each set comes with a a multi-colored blush and a lip glaze in Splendor. Splendor is a pink lip gloss with shimmers. I really like how the blush looks in the pan because it has ribbons printed all over it.

◊ Stila Lip Glaze Trio "Road Trip"
This set looks like it would be perfect for the spring and the summer. It contains lip glosses in shades of pinks and corals. I know that I already have tons of lip products but I just couldn't pass this set up because of the colors and because the price was just too good to ignore.
◊ Stila Long Wear Lip Liner Set
This is a great set, especially for those who love matte lip liners. The set comes with Aspiring, Passionate, Charming, and Obsessed. All four shades look gorgeous and great for any lip look. I am so excited to try out this set since I don't own many lip liners in my collection so its nice to branch out. I was actually hoping that these liners were retractable ones but they are pencils that need to be sharpen every once in while. Hopefully these are creamy and easy to apply without hassle since pencil liners tend to be a bit dry and need tugging.
◊ Stila Long Wear Lip Liner "Charming"
Since I didn't want to pay for shipping, I decided to add this lip liner to my cart. I know that the lip liner set already comes with Charming but it was such a pretty shade (from all the online swatches) that I might as well get another since I might be using this shade up the most. Its a gorgeous plumy pink so it will be great for both pink and purple lip looks.

◊ Stila Prime Pot "Caramel"
I never tried any prime pots or the painterly paint posts from MAC so I figured I might as well get this to try out since its somewhat the same concept. If you don't know what a prime pot, its basically an eyeshadow primer but in pot packaging with a creamy, whipped texture. I heard you could also use these as a concealer for your lids. I wouldn't use it as a concealer for my lids but just as an eyeshadow primer since its a tad bit dark for my skintone.
◊ Stila All Over Shimmer Duo "Kitten"
I have so much about Stila Kitten but in the eyeshadow form and have always thought about getting it. Since I don't really like having a bunch of single eyeshadows around, I decided to get Kitten in this form since I love blushes and highlighters. I have heard a lot of people really liking this duo so I knew that I had to get it, especially since I knew that I would never pay full price for this since it is a bit pricey (in my opinion) for a small blush/highlighter.
◊ Stila One Step Foundation "Fair"
Oh my goodness, this is so small. As you can see in the picture, I compared it to my L'Oreal True Match Lumi foundation. Foundations are usually 1.0 fl. oz but this one is only half of that so I was a bit disappointed but it was super cheap anyways so I don't mind as much since I paid less than what i would pay for a drugstore foundation. I haven't tried this one yet but I am hoping that I like it, especially since I bought this in the clearance section.

SAMPLES:
◊ Stila Forever Your Curl Curl Memory Mascara
This is actually a deluxe size sample that I got with a purchase of $50. I can't complain, I really like getting the chance to try out different mascaras, especially when they are high-end brands.
◊ Stila Skincare Face The Day Multi-Use Moisturizing Gel Cream
◊ Stila Skincare Coming Clean Revitalizing Gel Cleanser
I never knew that Stila had skincare products so it would be nice to try these two skincare samples out. These are pretty small samples so I would probably only be able to get two uses of these. Hopefully those two uses will be able to help me decide whether I end up liking these or not.
◊ Stila Sample Cards
I was surprised that I got four of these in my packaging. They are all samples for the same products but in different shades, which is nice since usually you don't always get the right shades so its nice to be able to try out all the shades. The samples come in Stila Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Beauty Balm, Stay All Day Foundation, and Stay All Day Concealer. I actually can't wait to try these out. I got them is shades: light, medium, warm, and deep. I will definitely be giving away warm and deep away or maybe keep them around for halloween looks. LOL

So those are all the products that I bought and for for free with purchase. I actually can't wait to try everything out soon and actually wish I had bought some more to either give away to friends or to keep for future giveaways on my blog. If you would like to see a review on a certain product, please comment below and let me know. Also if you have tried any of these products before, please let me know because I would love to know your thoughts on these products.

Lisa's March 2013 Favorites & Forgets

Hey everyone! March is now over and now its April. Of course, I wanted to have this post ready for the first day of April but its been crazy lately. I hope you guys all had a great April Fool's Day and had lots of fun pranking people. I know I sure did with my little brother. Haha. If you guys did some crazy pranks, I would love to hear about them, especially if they involve lots of laughter! Okay onto my monthly favorites! This time, for my March favorites, I don't really have a lot of products. I am a bit surprised but thats probably because I have been using the same products so I didn't really want to feature them again on repeat. But I do know for sure, next months will probably be bigger with a bunch of makeup items. Plus because I reorganized my makeup collection, I discovered a couple of products that I forgot about.

FOUNDATION:
◊ Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation "Medium Beige"
Its been a while since I used this foundation. I had actually stopped because I wasn't breaking out as much as before so I didn't really need a foundation with much coverage. Since I reorganized my makeup, I decided to start wearing this again. Its actually a pretty good foundation but it is a bit on the thick side (but not as thick and cakey as the original Revlon ColorStay, in my opinion) and I tend to prefer foundations that are more liquidy. If you are looking for an alternative to the original Revlon ColorStay foundation, you might like this one.

CONCEALERS:
◊ Almay Clear Complexion Concealer "Light/Medium"
I am almost finished with this. It is a bit hard to get all the concealer out of the tube so I might have to cut it in half later on to get every little bit. I really like this concealer and just recently bought three more as backups, which you will see in my haul post soon. I really like how well this concealer covers and how it doesn't irritate my pimples.
◊ Almay Clear Complexion Concealer + Treatment Gel "Light/Medium"
I know that in my previous review, I said that I didn't really like the concealer but now my feelings have changed a bit. The reason why I didn't like it at first was because of the horrid smell but after a while, the scent has descreased and I can't barely detect it anymore. The scent doesn't linger where I apply it anymore. I don't why they even made it with that scent because it was just horrible but I'm glad that smell is pretty much gone. The concealer covers well. I would just rub my finger onto the concealer and apply it to my blemishes. The treatment gel is pretty good as well. It works like any other drugstore acne treatment that I have tried.

◊ MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 "NW20"
This is a bit light for my skintone but I love it for my undereye area. I can see why people love this concealer. I really like how well it covers (even though I don't have any dark circles or bags under my eyes) and how well it brightens my eye area up. Its creamy but not as creamy and thick as the Benefit Erase Paste but the MAC one has yellow undertones so it looks better on my skintone.

EYES:
◊ Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Shadow Primer
I really love this eye primer. Its not too thick or too watery. Its just the perfect consistency for an eye primer plus it really makes my shadows more pigmented. If you never tried this before, you should really give it a try. Plus I really like the packaging. Its like a lip gloss applicator where you would squeeze out the product, which I find more sanitary.
◊ ULTA Kohl Eye Pencil "Halo"
I have been loving this as a highlight for the inner corner of my eyes. It has a shimmery finish so its perfect to use to give your eyes that wide awake look. Its so creamy and pigmented that it doesn't take long to apply. Plus I never have to tug or go over anything. It stays on pretty well but the only complaint that I have about it is that its not retractable. I hate eyeliners that need sharpening because I feel like it wastes so much product whenever you sharpen them. Other than that, I really like it.
◊ Revlon Brow Fantasy "Dark Brown"
This is a product that I have been using a lot during March. I am not sure if I can say that I love it. I am not sure how I feel about this because I could have easily just bought the wrong shade. I am not sure if there is another shade darker than Dark Brown. For my brows, Dark Brown has some red undertones to it (especialy in the brow gel), which doesn't look great on my brows. If there was another shade, I would probably like this product. The pencil is pretty easy to use but I still feel like the mini brush in the ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit is way more easy to control and use. This also comes with a brow gel, which isn't the right shade. Plus I feel like it doesn't tame my brows that well and sometimes it makes my brow hairs dried. I'll probably end up doing a review on this product later on...
◊ Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara "Black"
I really love this mascara. I don't know if Mary Kay still sells this but if they do, I would probably end up repurchasing this. It gives my lashes some volume while lengthening them a bit. It doesn't make them appear really long but thats okay. Plus what I really like about this mascara is that it doesn't clump on me or flake on me.

SKINCARE:
◊ Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Night Cream With Clary Sage
This night cream is really moisturizing. Its especially great for those with dry skin. Even though I do have some dry patches and an oily T-zone, this night cream didn't break me out at all. It doesn't make my skin feel heavy either, which was always a plus. It claims to have a non-greasy formula, which is probably the reason. Since this night cream is so moisturizing, you actually don't need to use a lot.

◊ Clean & Clear Advantage Popped Pimple Relief Drying Paste
Recently, I stopped taking Biotin (mainly because I've been forgeting to LOL) and because of that my skin hasn't been the best lately. Sometimes I would get random pimples all over my face and I get into the habit of popping them when they get too big. I know that popping pimples isn't good so whenever I make that mistake, I always make sure to use this drying paste. It comes out like a cream and dries instantly on the area you apply it too. The reason why I like this is because this seems to be the only drying paste that lasts all night on my face. Whenever I wake it, it still on my face.

FORGET:
◊ Yes To Blueberries Age Refresh Intensive Skin Repair Serum
I absolutely do not like this serum. It smells so bad. I don't know what it smells like but its just horrible. I was actually hoping that this would smell like blueberries when I bought it but nope. I asked both my brother and sister what they thought of the smell as well and they didn't like it. The scent does take a while to go away, maybe a minute. Other than that, I will not be repurchasing this. I am just going to try to finish this whole bottle up and hope to never smell it again.

So those are all my favorites and forgets! If you guys have any other questions on some of these products, please let me know! Keep in mind that I might be doing reviews on both the Revlon Brow Fantasy and the Yes To Blueberries Intensive Skin Repair Serum. Definitely let me know if you would like to see reviews on those two products.

QUESTIONS:
Have you tried any of these products before?
What are your favorites for March?

January 2013 Favorites

Hey everyone! Wow, 2013 came and now January is over. I know that I didn't post up my December 2012 favorites but I did post up a 2012 Favorites so I thought that that could account for December. Most of the products are pretty much the same anyways. For January, I wanted to use start using up some products that I already had (so I could finish them up) and use some of my "new" products as well. There isn't that many products this month but that could be because I kept using the same ones in a routine.

LIPS:
◊ ELF STUDIO Lip Exfoliator
This exfoliator smells so yummy! I could just smell this all day. I have always wanted to try out a lip exfoliator but didn't want to spend too much money on one and since this one was only $3 or $1.50 during their 50% sales, I decided to buy it. I am so glad that I bought two of these. I use this whenever my lips start to peel, which is a couple times a month because of the dry weather and horrible lip balms that give my lips bad reactions. After using this, my lips are always so soft. I will definitely be buying more once my two are gone.

FACE:
◊ MAYBELLINE Dream Smooth Mousse "Classic Ivory"
This one is a bit light on me but its not noticeable with bronzer on. I really like the coverage that this gives me and since I have been breaking out a bit (because of all the chocolates that I've been snacking on, uh oh!) this foundation has really been good at covering the majority, if not all, of my pimples.
◊ LAURA GELLER Balance-N-Brighten Foundation "Medium"
I love this powder foundation. I have been using it a lot as a finishing powder to set my liquid foundations. I would sometimes use this to set my Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse as well. I don't know what it is about this but it keeps my foundation on all day. You can also use this alone as your foundation but I find that it doesn't give me the coverage that I need, especially with my pimples and blemishes.

EYES:
◊ NYX The Runway Collection "Caviar & Bubbles"
This is my first NYX palette and so far, I am really liking it. There is some fallout but then again, a lot of brands have fallout. The compact is small and nice to bring with me, if I ever decide to bring it with me on travels. I really like using this to create shimmery eye looks.
◊ MAYBELLINE Color Tattoo "100 Barely Beige"
Let me just say that I love this! Its so creamy and the formulation is way better than my "Bad to the Bronze" one. I don't know why but that one is way drier and harder to apply onto my eyes. Please let me know if you have both and if the "Bad to the Bronze" one is supposed to be on the drier side. I love using "Barely Beige" all over my lid as a base for my shadows. Its just such a pretty shade.
◊ LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer
I got this with my LORAC Pro palette and so far, I am really loving it. I like how the packaging is like a lip gloss. Hopefully you can see what I mean in my picture. You can apply it directly onto your lids or just apply onto your finger. Its really creamy and keeps my shadow on all day.

BLUSH:
◊ PHILOSOPHY The Color of Grace Art Of Blushing "Pink Dreams"
I remember the first time that I tried this, I didn't like it at all. It wasn't as pink as I would have liked and thats because it also has a highlighter surrounding the blush. I have been using it a lot this month and I have really been loving it. I love mixing everything together because it just gives my cheeks the perfect pink glow. I actually wish I had bought a backup of this when I had the chance.

So those are all my January 2012 favorites! I have really been liking these products. If you would like to know more about any of these products, definitely let me know. I know that this months favorite isn't much but I really wanted to finish up some of my products and try out some new ones.

QUESTIONS:
Have you tried any of these products?

My Online Black Friday Haul (Both Sephora & Ulta)

Hey everyone! I have been a little late posting up these hauls but I have been busy these past few weeks. This is actually my first Black Friday where I actually bought makeup from both ULTA and Sephora. Last year I did get a chance to visit a Sephora but didn't buy anything. Plus for ULTA last year, I wanted to go but I forgot to stop by there. They had so many great items on sale last year but this year wasn't that bad. I actually ordered all this stuff online because I was worried that if I had waited and went to the stores, everything would have been sold out. Plus sometimes you get better deals online with certain coupon codes. I am actually going to talk about what I bought from ULTA first and then Sephora last.

What I bought from ULTA:
LAURA GELLER BAKED EYE DREAMS DUO "PINK SUNSET & SUNDBAR"
If you have been following my posts then you would know that I recently gotten my hands on some Laura Geller products and since then I have been wanting to try out more of her products. This set was $20, which isn't that bad because Laura Geller products are usually on the pricey side. This set includes two eyeshadow brushes and two eyeshadow quads. I actually think this is a pretty good stocking stuffer because each quad and brush is wrapped in tissue paper and is in its own box so you can just split them up as two gifts.

TARTE BALANCED & BEAUTIFUL AMAZONIAN KIT
I was pretty happy when I found out about this kit. I have really been loving Tarte products and have heard so many great things about their Amazonian Clay 12HR Blushes that I am so happy to have gotten one for a good price. Plus everything in this kit is full size, which makes it an even better deal. This kit comes with the Amazonian Clay 12HR Blush "Flush" and an Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow "Slate." Plus it also comes with their Bamboo Cream Shadow Brush. This set was only $22, whereas if I had bought all three separately, it would have cost a whole lot more.

With my purchase, I received four samples, which was a surprise. I thought I was only going to get three but for some reason, I got four instead. Maybe it was a mistake or maybe they always give out four with every order. Just like Sephora, they let you choose which samples you would like with your order so of course, I picked out all the cologne/perfume samples. I don't know why but I just love collecting purfume samples!

Also I was able to use a code that allowed me to get a free 11PC. ULTA CLUTCH. You were able to choose which clutch you would want but I guess I ordered a bit late since this was the only option available. Oh well, better free than nothing! The clutch is pretty cute and I can definitely see myself using it sometime. Plus it came with a bunch of ULTA products like:

• ULTA Lipstick "218 Good Year For Wine"
• ULTA Instant Nourish Facial Moisturizer
• ULTA Blush "Adore"
• ULTA Dual-ended Eyeliner "Deep Brown & Black"
• ULTA Super Shiny Lipgloss "#18 Stellar"
• ULTA Legendary Lengths Mascara "Jet Black"
• ULTA Nail Polish "Femme Fatale"
• ULTA Brushes: Contour Brush, Eyeshadow Brush, & Sponge Tip Brush

So those are all the products that I bought on Black Friday from ULTA. The ULTA Black Friday sale wasn't as popular as I thought it was because I still see these two sets selling in stores. I just wish that I had gotten the Urban Decay 2 piece travel set because that one was sold out instantly. I think the set included a primer potion and their popular all-night setting spray. I am so excited to try out all these products! Plus I am super happy that I finally gotten my hands on a Tarte Amazonian Clay 12HR Blush!! I have already played around with the blush sometimes and its super pigmented. I definitely need to be careful whenever I use this blush and remember to tap my brush lightly. Other than that, I am super happy with my Black Friday purchase!

Okay, now onto my Black Friday Sephora haul!! I also ordered all these online and felt like it took FOREVER to get to me, even though it was just a week. LOL I was actually happy with the deals that Sephora was having but the one deal that I was most excited about was the Tarte mascara set. I actually received a deluxe size of the Tarte regular mascara before and I really liked it that I wanted to buy it and try out other Tarte mascaras. I also actually had time to visit a Sephora store as well and bought two other products but I forgot to include them in this haul. I will probably just post them in another haul. What do you guys think? Should I still post up my instore Sephora haul?

What I bought online from Sephora:
SEPHORA + PANTONE UNIVERSE COLOR OF THE YEAR NAIL ENAMEL SET
I actually found this in the sale section on the website and have been debating on whether to get this. I only own one Sephora polish so I thought that this set would be great to try out their other polishes. Plus it was such a great deal since you get four polishes for only $7. This nail polish set comes with a shimmer, matte, creme, and glitter polish all in the Tangerine Tango color. I haven't tried this set out yet but I can't wait because both the shimmer and glitter finish look like they would be gorgeous on the nails.

LORAC BEHIND THE SCENES EYE PRIMER/EYE SHADOW DUO x2
This set was one of the $10 Black Friday deals that Sephora was having. I actually bought two because I thought that it was such a great deal since both items in the kit were full size! It comes with Lorac's Behind the Scenes Eye Shadow Primer and a single eyeshadow in "Serenity," which is described as a shimmering light bronze. Since this kit was only $10, you are basically paying $5 for each product, which is definitely cheaper than buying a drugstore eyeshadow primer and a drugstore single eyeshadow together or separately. I actually bought two because it was such a great deal that I felt the need to buy two. LOL

STILA MERRY & BRIGHT PALETTE W/ STILE LIP GLAZE "KITTEN"
This was also another $10 deal on Black Friday. To tell you the truth, I actually returned this after I took the pictures. Once I got it in the mail and checked out the colors in the palette, I didn't really like it. In my opinion, its a great neutral palette but I knew that some of the colors would just look orangey on my eyes. This is a good deal because you get two full size products and the Stila Lip Glaze definitely costs more than $10 on its own. I actually already have a deluxe size of the Stila Lip Glaze "Kitten" and I didn't really like the color on my lips. Even through the palette is cute and a great price, I actually don't regret returning this.

TARTE MULTIPLEYE & GIFTED KIT x2
This was also anoter one of the $10 deals for Black Friday! This kit comes with a full size Amazonian Clay Smart Mascara and a deluxe size of the Lash Enhancing Primer. I actually wished that the kit would have came with a full size primer as well because I love their lash primer. I love using it with my other drugstore mascaras as well. I bought two because I thought it was such a great deal. Plus I would regret it if I ended up loving the mascara and would have to pay full price for another one.

Also, as always with every Sephora online order, you get to choose three samples. I always try to get perfume samples with my order because I love collecting perfume samples and also because they are great to just throw in your purse. I picked out one from Prada, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, and Viktor&Rolf FlowerBomb. I have heard so many people loving the FlowerBomb so I am glad that I got a sample of it with my order to try it out!

I also had some points on my account so I decided to use 100 points to get the Diesel LoverDose Perfume. I never smelled this before getting it with my order. I was worried and hesitate on getting this with my points but I thought that the mini bottle was just so darn cute! If you can't tell, the bottle is in the shape of a heart and its glass materal. Its purple and looks really cute with my other perfumes. I have smelled this already and its just smells alright but I think I just need to get used to the scent.

So that is all that I ordered on Black Friday online from Sephora! I also used a code to get a 12 month subscription to a magazine but I forget the name of it. It might have been either Lucky or Glamour. Hopefully they magazines will start arriving to my mailbox soon. All-in-all, I think this haul was definitely a great deal, especially with the magazine offer. Let me know if you would like to see a review or swatches on any certain product. Plus let me know if you also took advantage of the magazine subscription from Sephora online.
