I've included some skincare as well as makeup...I hope you like it!

Recent Haul Updates

Hey Guys! If you follow me over on Instagram or on YouTube, you may have seen some of my recent hauls from stores like Target and Ulta.  Over the past month or two, I've gotten a mix of hair products, skincare, and makeup, and I thought it would be fun to do a follow-up video now that I've tried everything and let you know my thoughts on the products. :)

Here's the video...there are more products included than in the photo above!

NEW Maybelline Lemonade Craze Eyeshadow Palette + Swatches

The Maybelline Lemonade Craze palette is now available for pre-sale on Amazon.com! It's $10.99 and features 12 shades with matte and shimmer finishes (and has a soft lemon scent!). The brand says that it won't be out in stores until May-June (depending on when they put them out) so getting it from Amazon is the only way we can get it a few weeks sooner here in the U.S.

I haven't been a big fan of Maybelline's eyeshadows in the past (except for the City Minis) but I'm hopeful that these will be good, especially based on the swatch photos (see below).

Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty Kicks Off Today!

The Ulta 21 Days of Beauty sale starts today with 50% off on the Lorac Pro 3 Palette ($22, Platinum Perk), Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara ($10), and Philosophy's Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash ($14).

I haven't tried the Philosophy cleanser, and I like (but don't love) Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes. The standout today (for me) is the Lorac Pro 3 Palette. I wasn't a fan of it when it first came out...I thought it was bland and boring, especially since it launched at the same time as the Modern Renaissance, back in June of 2016.  But I recently rediscovered it when I was going through my eyeshadow collection for a video on my YouTube channel and have a new appreciation for it. Maybe I'm tired of all the deeper warm orange and red tones that have been taking over the last few years, and this seems like a breath of fresh air. Also Lorac's super soft, blendable formula is perfect for people like me who aren't experts in makeup application. If you're Platinum, I definitely recommend this one!

The Hot Buys are available every day of the sale and while there isn't too much jumping out at me on this page, I do want to try more of the bareMinerals Gen Nude Lipsticks. I have one and really like the formula!

This is also the first year Ulta has had a deal on mini sizes...they're Buy 3 Get 1 Free!

Will you be buying anything during the first day of the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty sale? I'd love to hear about it! :)

NEW Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Gloss Review & Swatches

Urban Decay just released their new Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lip Glosses ($20) on their website (soon to be in stores) and they sent me all 20 shades to test out and swatch for you guys. There are 4 different finishes and many of them look completely different on your lips than they do in the tube.

Check out my short video here where I try on all 20 shades and also talk a little bit about the formula and wear time:

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty March 2018 | Shop The Catalog W/Me

A new video is up on my channel this week, going through the new Ulta 21 Days of Beauty catalog. I thought it would be fun to flip through the pages with you guys and let you know what I'll be buying and my recommendations, as well as things I won't be buying. I would also love your feedback as to which products you would recommend I try (since there are things in the catalog I haven't tried yet).

NEW Pur Cosmetics Blush Book, Creator Palette, Spring Eye Glitters, and More

 

PUR Cosmetics has just launched some exciting new products on their website and Ulta.com and I've been testing them out over the past several weeks. I was able to get them early because PUR had asked me a few months ago if I would do their swatches for their website (SO exciting!!!). So when you visit their website, you'll see my arm featured in quite a few of the new product pages...so I guess I can put "arm model" on my resume now, haha. :)
