Beauty Haul! Ulta, Sephora & Misc.

Hello! I meant to post more regularly but two weeks ago after attending a lovely theater show with some friends I suddenly came down with the chills. I was very ill and running a fever. My doctor prescribed some antibiotics and then I spent the next week trying to get over a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotics. I broke out in hives all over my face that then blistered. Thankfully I am all better now. 

Wanted to show some new products I picked up over the past couple of months. I'm super excited to try these out and report back on them in the future. 


Ulta Haul:




I took advantage of the 21 days of Beauty sale to get the first three items listed. I love Butter London polishes so I was excited to pick those up. I've been wanting to try the Anastasia Brow Gel for awhile and I was happy to pick that up for 50% off. I love NYX Butter Glosses so got a few new shades. And with a recent 20% off coupon finally picked up the It Cosmetics eyeshadow palette. I'm super excited about this palette. I kept telling myself I didn't need it; then I happened to swatch it one day and was blown away by how pigmented and soft the shadows were. And I was thrilled that I got a free It's a 10 treatment. It's 4 oz and a $20 value! I've heard people rave about it but couldn't bring myself to pay that much for it so was excited to get it for free. But on the downside, what if I love it?

Sephora Haul:





 



The Sephora Spring's Hottest Ticket event offered 15% off and I couldn't resist getting a few items. I've heard a lot about Bite Beauty and was eager to try them out. The shade I got is limited edition but it's a lovely midtone lavender. Everyone raves about Nars concealer so I finally caved and picked one up. I already have one of these Josie Maran blushes and love the formula. So easy to apply and gives the most believable looking flush. I love the Beauty Blender for applying liquid or gel products and could not resist the beautiful limited edition purple one! I've been on the lookout for a new makeup remover. My regular cleanser does a good job but I wanted something that would help dissolve makeup quicker with less rubbing; so I picked this one up from Clinique, hope it works out. And they actually had a 100 point perk I was interested in and got the Buxom gloss.

Misc Haul:





 

And recently picked up a few items from various places. I'm excited to give this new Paula's Choice powder a shot. If you look at my previous post I had some great luck with a few new beauty products they recently introduced so I expect thus will be no different! The Balm was on Haute Look not too long ago so I picked up their new highlighter for 50% off. How cute is their packaging?! Could not pass up that Deborah Lippmann polish. It's the prettiest periwinkle blue. And decided to try out a MAC blush. My first ever if you can believe it.

So I hope you enjoyed reading about the new stuff I picked up; I did some serious discount shopping recently. The only items I paid full price for were the Deborah Lippmann polish and the MAC blush. Please let me know if you have any questions!
