Sephora Haul!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This week is part 1 of my American Haul, part 2 will be coming next week! Also sorry for missing 2 posts I moved back to university and had some family things going on so needed to focus on them but I’m back now!

I went to Sephora in Boston and in New York, mum and I spent a bomb but it was worth it! So lets get into the haul!

First up we got the Cover FX Mattifying Kit which includes the primer, powder and setting spray- perfect for travelling with. Next up was the Tarte Rain Forest of the Sea palette, Oh my the colours in this palette are insane and I would highly recommend Tarte palettes for incredible blend-ability and pigmentation. We also picked up the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette, again great for travelling which includes a bronzer, blush and highlight. Also I couldn’t go to Sephora and not pick up a tonne of Sephora own brand face, lip and foot masks! They are amazing and so affordable! Last up in this section was my favourite Chloe Perfume in a rollerball, perfect for popping in your bag on nights out!

Our next trip resulted in more purchases from Tarte! I purchased the Scrub clean kit which includes the Friction stick and Rain Forest of the Sea collection cleanser as well as a little mitt to get your pores clean, as well as the Amazonian Clay BB cream- I have been so impressed with this product, the coverage is good, it doesn’t slide off like a lot of other BB creams and leaves my skin looking flawless! I also grabbed another bottle of my fave Dry bar Shampoo as well as a Huda Beauty Lip Contour in the most stunning nude shade! I also picked up a Makeup forever Mist and Fix as my setting spray has run out and I love it! Its really hydrating and keeps my makeup in place all day!

Our final trip to Sephora was a much smaller one in which I mainly purchased their travel size items so I could give a few products a try without paying full price to find out I hated them- I am a student after all!

Mum needed a new ABH brow definer so we picked one up as well as a couple of sleep masks, one of which we used on the plane home which I highly recommend! I also picked up the Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara as everyone raves about it and I must admit I agree its great! The other Too Faced product I picked up was the Born this way concealer which I love the only problem is its a tiny bit too light for my skin tone but covers dark circles and blemishes with ease!

Next weeks part 2 hauls is Bath and Body works!

NYC Haul!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This week is my New York Haul after my trip last week (sorry for missing post I was exploring and shopping)

This Haul is from Sephora and Bath&Body Works, so let’s get started!

First up Sephora, this was my first trip to a store and OMG I was in heaven! I also was already signed up as a beauty insider and luckily got a 10% off code to use when I was there! I went with a list otherwise I knew I would go way over budget!

Every girl loves dry shampoo so I wanted to try Dry detox after hearing rave reviews, luckily this was the only thing the from ‘fly’ zone that ended up in my basket. As Tarte isn’t available in the U.K. I knew I wanted to get a palette. I chose the Amazonian Clay Matte one as it has beautiful colours!

Moving onto lips! I purchased a Tarte lip paint in ‘so fetch’ as I have heard nothing but good things and thought the colour would be perfect for summer! I also picked up the Bite Beauty ‘The Perfect Pair” minis in the shades meringue and fig.

As I was at Sephora it would be rude not to pick up a selection of their own brand masks! I chose 2 lip masks, 2 eye masks and 2 face masks as I love them and they are great value for money!

Bath and Body works was next and of course I couldn’t resist the pocketbacs, as they are great value and smell amazing! I picked up Maui, Magic in the Air, Need Vacay, You are my sunshine and Cucumber Melon. They are so convenient, I love them! My final purchase was a 3 wick candle with this super cute copper lid in the scent ‘white beach sands’ not only does it smell amazing but all their 3 wicks had $10 off! If I had any spare room in my case I definitely would have bought a few more!

I’ll be doing a review of the eyeshadow palette and lipsticks soon so look out for that!  I’m back in the US in September so if anyone has any beauty faves they recommend let me know!

Ciao Bellas,
