My Latest Haul: Urban Decay, Too Faced, Lorac and more!

Hey Dolls!

I have got to do so much better, these sporadic posts are for the birds. I did a nice lil haul for myself last month. I haven't purchased makeup since The Makeup Show (that was all for my professional makeup kit) so; I guess a haul for myself was long overdue. My hauls have no rhyme or reason, I just buy because of sales, my moods and the pretty colors! Here are the deets:


Urban Decay and Too Faced Cosmetics

Ulta had their 21 days of beauty sale last month. I had been eyeing the Urban Decay Shadow Box, I purchased it for a little over $30. It comes with 12 shades, 11 shimmer and 1 matte shade.

Urban Decay shadows have never disappointed me and neither does this palette. It's small, so it will be great for traveling. The color ranges are good for creating a neutral, colorful or smokey eye. I also received a mini sample of the Urban Decay Perversion mascara, not bad at all.

Ulta had a deal that if you by $50 in product, you cold get a free Too Faced mini cosmetics beauty set that retails for $47. I added the Anastasia Dip Brow pomade in Auburn to my cart (which I have been hearing so much about) along with the shadow box and it came to $50.

The Too Faced set came with a mini shadow insurance primer, a mini lipstick in shade dolly (nude), a mini Better than Sex mascara (my new fave mascara!) and a tinted beauty balm.

Mac Cosmetics

Of course, I had to hit Mac up. I needed an eye cream, so I figured I would try their Mineralize Charged Water Moisture eye cream. I've been using it for a week and I'll have to use it for a while longer to give my thoughts on it. 

I also bought a travel sized Strobe cream. I wanted something to give my foundation a more dewy look the Strobe cream is supposed to help give your foundation a dewy, moist look. I bought a Mac Spiked brow pencil (which is a staple for me) and a the Pearlgide liner in Petrol blue (navy) and Oyster Girl (freshwater pink) lip glass. 

Lorac Cosmetics

I had been wanting to try some other brands and a friend recommended the Lorac Pro Palettes 1 and 2. I saw the first pro palette and it reminded me of the Urban Decay Naked 1 palette so I chose to get the second one. I actually bought two of these. The first one I bought directly from the Ulta store and I chose to keep that one for my professional makeup kit. 

I bought the second one from HSN. I read a post on Instagram from Nouveau Cheap that HSN had the Lorac Pro palette along with the full sized Lorac mascara on sale for $42. Of course, if you follow Nouveau Cheap; you know she always has a coupon or discount code.

I used the $20 off code for new HSN customers, plus the palette  had free shipping. That brought my total to $22. I was stoked! I love a good deal...all thanks to Nouveau Cheap! Needless to say, I kept this palette for myself. I love the feel of the shadows, they are very easy to blend and the colors are beautiful!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and Revlon

OCC had a 30% off sale that was only valid for a few days. I bought the Black Dahlia (blackened red) metallic lip tar, which is a great color for fall and the lip tar primer for moisture and seal.

I also received the Revlon Bold Lacquer mascara in my Onyx box (beauty box subscription) for the month of September. I've received so many free mascaras that I haven't had an opportunity yet to try the Revlon mascara.

Real Technique Brushes

Lastly, I bought a Real Techniques eye starter brush set. I saw this on sale at Rite Aid. I feel like I can never have enough eye brushes. It comes with 5 brushes: the base shadow brush, deluxe crease brush, the accent brush, fine line brush and the brow brush. 

Do you own any of these items? If, so what do you think?
