Beauty, Haul, Makeup, Skin

It’s that time of year again! I’m always a hauling machine but the holiday season really pulls on those purse strings. Take a look at what I’ve hauled recently!
NARS Danmari Cheek Palette I was sooo happy to track this down on eBay! It’s very similar to the One Night Stand palette that’s available now but it’s more brown girl friendly. I can actually use every shade in the palette and it’s just perfect for travel. I’ll be taking Danmari everywhere!

Philosophy Senorita Margarita Shower Gel This shower gel smells so yummy and refreshing! Exactly like a margarita! I’m usually more drawn to sweet floral scents but I can’t get enough of Senorita Margarita. My boyfriend loves it too!

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser I actually bought this to use as a brush cleanser but I think it might be my holy grail cleanser! It has a light, clean scent, removes makeup well and makes my face feel super soft and clean. I often use it alone but it’s a real treat paired with my Clarisonic!

Beauty Blender Sponge I’ll definitely be reviewing this sponge very soon because it’s fantastic! It applies and blends foundation and concealer like no other. The Beauty Blender literally cuts application time in half. It’s soo handy! This is actually my second one!

Philosophy Hope In A Jar This moisturizer is so hydrating! It’s lightweight and non greasy. Plus it absorbs really quickly and makes my face look super supple. I just hate the smell though! I hope I get over it soon lol

Philosophy Purity Cleansing Cloths I should have tried these wipes years ago! I do pretty well with a morning skincare routine but I often fall asleep in my makeup (NOT good!!). The Purity wipes are perfect for my lazy nights! They remove makeup pretty well and leaves my face feeling clean in seconds with no water.

Prada Candy Eau de Parfum After going through countless samples and unsuccessfully tracking down a rollerball I caved and bought a bottle. I don’t regret it at all! Prada Candy is my all time favorite fragrance. It’s so sweet, feminine and flirty. I’ve been wearing it nonstop!

Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer I was in the process of trying out the night facial cream when I ran into this beauty. It’s like a primer and moisturizer in one! If you have dry skin or need a little more hydration in your routine you definitely want to check out this primer.

MAC Stroke of Midnight Mineralize Brush Set I just love MAC duo fibre brushes! Especially the 159 and 286! It’s such a pleasure having mini backups and a cute carrying case for them. Not to mention they’re sooo soft!

NARS Train Bleu Velvet Matte Lip Pencil This lippie is actually a gift for my best friend. Train Bleu is a pretty close dupe for MAC Talk That Talk so I decided to pick one up for her as a gift. I hope she likes it!

Dior Creme de Rose Lip Balm I’ve been reading rave reviews all over but this balm so I decided to try it! It smells similar to my rosebud salve (which I love!) but it’s thicker and a bit more hydrating. I’ll definitely be adding Creme de Rose to my nighttime routine!

Hourglass Dim Light Ambient Lighting Powder It seems everyone in the makeup world is obsessing over these powders! After playing with them in Sephora I liked Dim Light the best. I think it would make a wonderful finishing powder for a wide range of skin tones. I’ve yet to actually apply it but I hope I fall head over heels too!
