february hauls

 

hi guys!!! so it's february hauls timeeeeee! and i'm excited because, with the ending of february, it's now birthday time! w00t. depending on what i receive..i'll make a post. i asked for work clothes, moving supplies, and a lot of random stuff..so i'm not sure how interesting it'd be. we'll have to see. and yes, unintentional rhyme. anyway. fun stuff. ~Lindsay-chan ^.~

my little cousin sent me a thank you for her xmas gift. so cute >w< i can't believe she's turning 17 this year! @_@

target: acure organics brightening facial scrub & argan cleansing towelettes, loreal miss manga black angel mascara & infallible lip color in violet parfait,
febreze [x downy] unstopables candle in shimmer -- sadly, this isn't quite the same as using the shimmer unstopables in the laundry....
ulta: real techniques bold metals oval shadow & flat contour brushes (bogo half off!)

violet parfait

physicians formula shimmer strips custom eye enhancing kohl kajal eyeliner trio in natural nude eyes -- this arrived at my mom's. i'm not sure if it's from when they said you could get a sample of one of their new argan products..so i gave them my contact info. i'm not sure. regardless, i pretty much feel the same about these as the two sets that i bought.

nude, mocha, black

sephora: cinema secrets brush cleanser, bite beauty february 2015 limited lab release lipstick (japanese eggplant)

• this lipstick is such a fun color. it leaves behind a slightly uneven stain when it wears off and it's super pigmented. kudos to listening to everyones' quibbles from last month's!

walmart: real techniques sculpting brush

bite february lipstick

elf: essential lip balm tint in rosy rocker, studio baked eyeshadow in brown bonanza, studio contouring blush & bronzing powder in fiji

walmart: burts bees herbal blemish stick

brown bonanza (swatched dry), rosy rocker

fiji

rosy rocker -- i'm not totally sold on the formula for this..it takes some work to apply..

sephora: mufe artist shadows in I514. M536 (this came in the artist palette, butttt it's my perfect lid skintone color), & D640, benefit roller lash mascara sample, nars vib rouge birthday set (lip pencils in cruella & rikugien, eye pencil in via veneto), and a mini perfect formua pink gel coat for 100 points

D640, I514, M536 (swatched dry); cruella, rikugien, via veneto

cruella -- i fail at coloring in the lines......

rikugien -- i actually really wanted this shade a loooong time ago, so i'm glad they included it!

colourpop cosmetics: super shock eyeshadow in la la, set in queen for a day (shameless/bae, girly, smash, sequin), lippie stix in lumiere

1. omg these shadows are everything i ever wanted and more. the formula is soooo freaking buttery soft, i've never had a shadow with this texture before. it quite literally melts when you touch it.
2. i'm not sure on how i feel about application..to some degree, i prefer my fingers, but probably denser brushes would work too. these particular shades are pre-foundation ones for sure though. i kept getting some under my eyes somehow.... >.>

girly, smash, sequin, bae, shameless, lala (all swatched dry), lumiere
