December Beauty Haul

Hey Dolls!

While I was on winter vacation I did a bit of beauty shopping and I received a few makeup items. So, I figured I would share my beauty finds with you all. With that said, today's blog post is going to be a quick haul of my recent beauty finds. Let's jump into it!

• Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette in Little Saint- This is an eyeshadow quad (a quad is a palette that contains four colors.) with super pigmented eyeshadows. I purchased this from Marshalls for $9.00. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Bliss Peeling Groovy Facial Serum - This is an exfoliating facial serum. It claims to retexturize the skin as well as lighten dark spots and brighten the skin overall. It also claims to reduce appearance of pores and fine lines  I have used it a few time and I like it. I can't say that I have used it enough to say if it works well or not. I will update you Dolls on my thought on this product. I purchased this from Marshalls for $10.00.

• Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow in Bella Violet and Bella Pink- These are creamy, highly pigmented drugstore eyeshadows. I do own another color and I must say these are some of the best eyeshadows in the drugstore. I highly recommend them. They can be purchased in Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, etc. Anywhere other drugstore items are sold. I don't know the price point for these shadows. These were a gift from my mom.

• Tweezers- Just garden variety tweezers my mom picked up from TJ Maxx.

• Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation- I have been wanting this foundation for a while now and I finally had an opportunity to pick it up. I won't go into much detail on this post into the foundation, because I have a whole blog post dedicated to it up on the blog. Go check it out for more information on this product.

• Makeup Blending Sponges - I couldn't located the brand online, but I did pick up a few makeup sponges. They are dupes for the beauty blender and I picked them up in Ulta.

• ELF Glitter primer- This was a repurchase for me. I use this product to help tamed my eyebrows as well as apply glitter to my eye. I purchased mine from Target.

• Smashbox Always Sharper Eyeliners- My mom purchased the holiday set for me from a Smashbox counter in our nearest department store. These liners are water proof and super pigmented. I love them. I have five colors. A black, gray, plum, moss green, and brown.
