may hauls

hi guys! i didn't go too crazy this month because we're going on vacation~! woohoo! anyway hope you had a great may and yesssssssss! summertime! ~Lin-chan ^.~

brushegg (purchased here) -- similar in concept to sigma's brush glove, this is more compact and ergonomic. it was $10 with shipping, so not too bad! i was hoping she'd send me a mint one (color is chosen at random) but at the very least, i'm glad i waited long enough that she doesn't have any more of the custard-yellow ones..ew! i've been really enjoying using this little guy, so at this rate, i don't think i'll make a separate post for the sigma brush glove anymore...i'm sure there's enough reviews for it out there. the brushegg is a good size and it's very functional without the need for the gazillion textures of the sigma ove' glove.

posiebalm, orgasm, concealer, copper lustre, black cherry liner

• kohls.com: lorac 3D lustre liner in copper black cherry -- there was this shirt i wanted but our store didn't have the right size/color combo, and i needed to add a little bit more to get free shipping ^.~
• the camera did not do that black cherry liner justice. it's a black with a red tone and red microshimmer. it's gorgeous.
• cvs: almay clear complexion concealer in light -- i am all about acne-fighting products. buy all the salicylic acid makeup! (and yay for having extra bucks!)
• benefitcosmetics.com: posiebalm -- poisetint in balm form! sah-weet.
• sephora.com (2 orders): tarte maracuja c-brighter eye cream, 100 points: nars orgasm gloss, codes: smashbox eye primer, pantone universe radiant orchid bag

bbb/target: loreal miss manga mascara, jergens bb body, soft lips cube in vanilla bean, elf contour brush, neutrogena makeup remover wipes--because i forgot if i liked these or not....

• uh of course i would buy manga mascara, the otaku within needed it, even though the european reviews are so-so. 我要眼象睛漫画！买所有的东西!
• i do think that it does give a manga/anime-eyes effect. like the lashes clump together kinda piece-y similar to characters' eyes in peach girl and i.n.v.u. ...kinda..kinda..? kandee johnson has a video demo/review of this mascara for those interested.

swatches: cruisin chic & back to basics smudgepots; naked & sunset prism shadow palettes (swatched dry)

eyeslipsface.com: they were having a mother's day "sale", so for $25+shipping, i got $40 worth of stuff. yep. essential smudge brush, studio blush brush, 2x small tapered brushes, prism eyeshadow palettes in naked & sunset, essential smudgepots in cruisin chic & back to basics, makeup remover wipes, 12pk of spoolies

• i haven't gotten around to using the smudgepots yet, but they have a really smooth and creamy consistency; much more so than what maybelline color tattoos or the benefit creaseless cream shadows have. i was quite impressed.

• makeupgeek.com (2 orders): large pink z palette..because i needed another one? MUG eyeshadow starter kit/dotted leaf z palette bundle (for swatches, see photo on the product page)
• shadow pans, as placed in my palette (L-R, T-B): shimma shimma, prom night, unexpected, cocoa bear, crème brulee, glamorous, mocha, drama queen, corrupt

• sephora: bite beauty luminous crème lipstick duo in neutral (musk & lychee) -- it's so itty bitty! i luff it!
