Mini Makeup Haul 1

I get so excited when I have a little extra cash and can splurge on a few items I have been eying. I was able to do a smaller haul over this past month and I can't wait to show you guys! It's a bit smaller, but still a lot of gems!




 For this haul, I bought:

1.) MAC Cosmetics Lipglass in "Nymphette- this lip glass is a nice pink with gold shimmer. I think this would be flattering on anyone's lips!
                                 Price: $15.00 on MAC's website.

2.) MAC Cosmetics Paintpot in "Painterly"- this eye color is a nude beige and I like to use it as an
eyelid primer for eyeshadows and eyeliner. It starts out creamy, but finishes with a semi-powder finish. I LOVE this color! Really nice for a minimal eye look if that's what you are going for.
                                 Price: $18.50 on MAC's website

3.) SUGAR Kisses Mini Lip Trio- The three shades that come in this mini kit are Berry, Coral, and
Rose. This is a Sephora exclusive, and I already own the Honey shade and I loved that one, so I thought I would give these a try. The Rose is a subtle red, but it does give enough color. The Berry is a darker purple, but still comes out semi-sheen. The Coral is my favorite. It's not too coral, and it's not too red. It's perfect. If you have never owned one of the lip products from SUGAR, you are sincerely missing out. Although they do seem pricey, they are really worth it. They apply smoothly, but the color comes out nicely.
                               Price: $28.00 at Sephora

4.) Maybelline Whispers- I have so many of these amazing lipsticks, I won't even bother naming
them all. These glide on the lips so smoothly, just like chapstick. The color is more sheen than regular lipstick, but you can build the color with layers.
                               Price: $5.94 at Target

5.) Stila One Step Correct Primer- Because I have more red pigmentation in my face, I was drawn to
this primer. The three-stranded helix comes in like a peach, lavender, green which helps out even out skin tone and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. This applies really smoothly, and really does brighten the face up. I like to use it under my liquid foundation. Definitely worth the splurge if you have redness in your face, like me!
                             Price: $36.00 at Sephora

6.) Escada "Cherry in the Air"- After getting a sample of this in the mail, I fell in love with it. It has a really nice, summery, youthful smell to it, but not in a childish way. Sephora describes the scent as having the following notes: Black Cherry, Raspberry, Mandarin, Marshmallow, Gardenia, Coconut, Sandalwood, Oakwood. If you are looking for a summer scent, this is the one for you! (Ps- you have to like cherry!)
                             Price: $20.00 for the rollerball at Sephora

7.) Glam Glow Tingling and Exfoliating Mud Mask- Now, I haven't had a chance to try this out yet, but I wanted to see what the hype was all about. It is said to really leave your face feeling fresh, smooth, brighter, and softer. I will write a review as soon as I try it!
                            Price: $19.00 for the 0.5 oz at Sephora

8.) TokyoMilk Dark's Tempted Trio- Tainted Love No. 62- Oh man, if you want your scent to say "sexy," this is the trio for you! The notes in this trio are: Dark Vanilla Bean, Sparkling Citrus, Orchid, White Tea, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean (according to Sephora.com). The lotion and rollerball are really sensual and should be used for date nights and seduction. The lip elixir smells just like salted caramel and really feels wonderful on the lips. Definitely a nice buy!
                            Price: $16.00 at Sephora (and it's limited edition so get on this!)

Well, that's my smaller mini haul of this month and I hope these reviews helped you guys with deciding about purchases! What do you guys think about these products? Let me know! Until next time!

Peace and Love,

Farrah <3
