It's been too long since my last post. But I went to Vegas and went shopping of course. I had to hit up an Ulta Beauty store since we don't have them in Canada. I was really excited to try some brands that aren't available in stores here. One I was looking forward to was Mally. Unfortunately I went to one of the few Ulta stores that didn't carry Mally. It was a bit of a nightmare getting the cab to the store (he had no clue where he was going!) so there was no way we were going to the other location. Anyway here is what I got.
The NYX butt "naked" turn the other cheek palette. Mostly neutral eyeshadow shades and shimmery blushes, bronzers and highlighters. There's a lot of shimmer in it. I haven't used it too much just yet. I had heard of the butt naked palette on youtube so I snatched up this version. If anyone wants swatches just let me know.
I just love Real Techniques brushes! Awesome quality for the price. There are only a couple of sets available at Canadian Walmart though so I got these. On the left is the limited edition dual fibre set. It has a powder brush, contour brush and eyeshadow blending brush. I've used them a bit and really like them so far. The brush on the right is their expert face brush. I had heard so many people rave about it on YouTube. I just had to have it! It is great for buffing in liquid foundations. It gives a nice finish.
On the left are the Not Your Mother's products. I'd never tried this brand before but missglamorazzi on YouTube uses the Knotty To Nice so I of course bought it. It's a nice detangler and smells so good. I can't even explain the scent but its good. Beach Babe is a nice non drying texturizing spray that smells of coconut. Sooooooo yummy!
Next is It's A 10 leave in plus keratin. Another missglamorazzi fave! I love her channel. I haven't tried it yet though.
The products on the right are the Deva Curl trial set. It has all the products that they recommend to use together and if you spent so much you got a free curl revitalize spray. I think I will try them in summer. I have curly hair but its not a nice curl. So these may help. They're all sulfate, silicone and paraben free.
I warned you I had bought a lot haha.
On the top are two sets of Katy Perry for eylure lashes. I wore the ones on the right, purple color pop, out one night in Vegas. The glue included didn't irritate my eyes and they were fairly easy to apply and looked good. I have yet to try the Oh Honey set.
On the right is the Go Smile on the go whitening pen. I haven't used it yet. I've been wanting a pen format for whitening though.
Bottom left is actually a back up purchase. I got the waterproof version of Maybellines Lash Discovery mascara. It came highly recommended by Emily on beautybroadcast (YouTube and www.beautybroadcast.net ) she uses it for bottom lashes and I must say it works great on them! The brush is nice and small and you can't find it anywhere in Canada.
Next on the bottom is the Lorac lustre drops. Still need to try them. But for anyone that doesn't know you can apply a drop alone (on lids or cheeks) or on top of eyeshadow to give it a different look. It's beautiful!
Ok so the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye concealer. I can't really say too much about it yet. Mine was completely empty when I opened it up :( it was totally sealed too. I was gutted. I emailed the It Cosmetics customer service and they were amazing!! They asked for a copy of the receipt and my shade and the batch number (so they can correct future batch issues) and are sending me a new one straight away! No fuss. Love them. This concealer was highly praised by Melissa on melmphs on YouTube.
Lastly I got this set of three benefit lipsticks as a package called lip lotto. They had three sets to choose from. Only $15 I think for them. Such a great deal. These are the old formula. I have a pic of the swatches below with the names of the shades.
Have a beauty-full day!
