april hauls

 

it's the end of april. and i spent all my monehz. what else is new.. haha. anyway, here's all of the things that i picked up last month. sorry this post is a little late, i sent some of these to the in-laws' house and just got them. ~Lin-chan ^.~

jordana: modern matte lipstick in matte pretty -- i'm not totally sure how i acquired this..it appeared in the mail, and i think it was part of the giveaways through facebook not too long ago..? anyway, i'm not huge on this color, but the formula is just as amazing as everyone says they are. buy them!

1. sigma: at the end of march, sigma released their app and had a 20% off sale...so i went ahead and got the remaining sigmax/precision brushes that i didn't have (P88, P/F84), and i wanted another E35. also, sigma updated their site and you can choose your free gift, so i picked the E47 shader-crease brush.
2. orlando target: extreme value! it's a 10 plus keratin -- i wasn't kidding you guys. i had my aunt pick this up before coming to visit because this 10oz twin pack was $48. no joke. (for those who don't know, it's regularly about $40 for one 10oz. bottle)
3. ulta: tree hut sugar scrubs in coconut lime & mango, himalayan salt scrub in cherry blossom
4. marshalls: coola mineral sunscreen (unscented), body shop shower gel in blueberry
5. tj maxx: letter organizer---for my palettes!

colourpop: shadows in meow, so quiche, 3, truth, bill; blush in birthday suit, lippie stix in cookie, lip liner in lumiere, freebie with $40 purchase: highlighter in wisp

bite april lipstick

january through april lipsticks

sephora 15% off sale: buy all of the things.

1. sephora collection triple action cleansing water & cotton rounds (these hold up the best for micellar water, without pilling up)
2. mufe artist shadow in D552, nude artist palette
• kind of upset that the mufe artist shadows were not discounted more. it was one discount or the other: either 15% off, or the buy 2 save $9 or buy 3 save $20--annnnnd the 15% off discount comes out to cost more, which is stupid. pretty freaking lame. luckily, my grandfather has a jc penny discount because jcp bought eckerd's waaaay back in the day when he used to work there. so with both discounts they paid $14.50! (about 36% off) holy crap! i need to start scoping out jcp sephora with them whenever i go back home.
3. marc jacobs highliner gel eye crayon in obey-ge
• so i went to the rouge beauty before brunch party on day one of the sale and i swatched the marc jacobs liner. i slept on it for several days and quite literally was dreaming about it, so i decided to buy it because it's a pretty unique liner color that i haven't really seen before.
4. soap and glory shower gel and body butter mini sets (original & sugar crush), clean on me shower gel
5. breakups to makeup bag -- am i a terrible person for wanting this? because it's super hilarious.
6. shiseido facial cotton -- these are a lot more economical compared to the koh gen do ones, so i wanted to try them out.
7. freebies
1. bag-o samples for going to the beauty before brunch party -- formula x nail polish in anomoly
2. code: belif true cream aqua bomb sample, 100 points: dior diorshow maximizer lash plumping serum

obey-ge, D552 -- i think the lighting is washing these out. the liner is pinker and the shadow is more silver-gray


I528, I514, ME512, S556, D562, ME644, S102, I544, D652

1. beautylish: bioderma sebium set, parian spirit (so i could get the free shipping...)
2. walmart/walgreens/cvs: jordana matte bare lipstick, biore charcoal facial bar, no rub gel polish remover, loreal miss manga rock mascara in blackest black

matte bare

1. sally beauty supply: femme couture eternal color intense silky shadow in pyrite -- emilynoel mentioned how these were similar in formula to the loreal infallible shadows. she was also raving about this particular one, and the color is pretteh.
2. juliette has a gun perfume sampler pack -- this was only €13, and i wanted to try not a perfume--instead of committing to a $138 bottle from sephora's website...
