Haul time!

So, a lot of this stuff was purchased recently except one thing which is the Eyes, Lips, Face palette which was purchased a couple months ago? I just apparently forgot to blog about it. Soo enjoy!
 
 
So basically, I have 3 new palettes (the Lorac and UD I'm trying to hold off until Christmas), an eyeliner, mascara and nail polish.

First is the Eyes, Lips, Face palette. I got this one during one of their sales and I think it was only like $6...no joke (maybe not $6, I don't remember but it was some crazy deal I'm pretty sure was under $10). Shipping made it a little more but yeah it was ridiculous and told me mom I needed to have it.

Next is this beautifulll Urban Decay NYC "Book of Shadows" Vol 3 palette, $40.

It has a cute little New York City pop up that also lights up.

And sixteen beautiful colors! So excited to try these out!!! Also comes with a mini black 24/7 Glide on eyeliner and a mini primer potion.

Last but not least, the newest Lorac 'Pro-palette.' This is raved about all over YouTube and is even said to be better than both of the Urban Decay 'Naked' palettes! $42

It comes with 8-matte shadows on top and 8-shimmery/glittery shadows on the bottom. The best part, this is a palette that could be used day-to-day because they are neutral/everyday shades!

Next is an eyeliner that I think I heard about on YouTube, it's the Eyeko "Skinny, Liquid, Liner" in black, $15 (but I got it for free with my VIB coupon). I swatched this eyeliner when I was in NYC at the Sephora and walked around the store for ten mins (or so) and noticed it didn't smudge so I bought it on impulse. After going back to the apartment and washing my hands before eating it still didn't move. I was sold.

Next is Covergirls "Clump Crusher" mascara, I don't remember the price but I think it was around $6-7, depending on where you go. I love this stuff! I find that it volumizes and lengthens my lashes.

Final thing for today's haul, this holiday collection of Color Clubs nail polishes, $9. I thought these colors were super pretty for the holidays and I love the fact it comes with a top coat that is like the "moon candy." I've been wanting to try that out and cannot wait to use it!



So that is pretty much my haul. It is definitely a lot for me to be buying right now but I'm not very patient...I am trying to hold off from using the first two palettes until Christmas though so that I have something to open...gifts from myself but I'm not sure I can wait a few more weeks! I went to NYC this past weekend and that's when I bought the Lorac palette, I told my bf not to let me buy anymore palettes after that sooo...today when I told him I bought the Urban Decay one, he hold me he was going to send me to rehab for my shopping addiction...:(. In my defense, he knew what he was getting himself into though! :)
Thanks for viewing this post and for the support!

Blue based snowflake nails!! (Winter nails #1)

**Idea taken offline**
 
 Start off with a blue base (China Glaze's "Blue Iguana")
 
 Next, if the blue isn't shiny or sparkly add a top coat that is (China Glaze's "Fairy Dust).
 
 Now for the snowflake, you can use any white color and a thin brush (or toothpick) and just follow the lines in the steps below.
 



 Add a half snowflake towards the end of the nail if you'd like and three dots on either side of the flakes (optional).
 
And there you have it, accent snowflake nails! :)
Hope you enjoyed!!
