Haul damage.

Hey girl hey! Lol. So this is gonna be my "Gustavos" haul that caused a no buy of 3 months (which may possibly be broken because of a moment of weakness for the Morphe Jaclyn's Favorite Palette lol) Anyways! This is a Ulta, Sephora, and Target shopping spree. Let's kick it off with Ulta. 



Ulta 
We went to Ulta 3 times in one weekend! It's only because of the beauty steal deals going on everyday. If you didn't hear about, you missed out! Ulta had a really neat sales idea to pick 1-2 items a day. The sales could be 20-50% off on items! How can you pass that up? So of course we have to go everyday of the weekend. :) 
At Ulta I got the Best of Becca set and Lorac Champagne Dreams shadow palette. The Best of Becca wasn't on sale but it was a great deal! It was $35 for 4 items that are some of their best wanted items. I've took a pic of the back of the box to describe each item that was included in this awesome set. It was a great way to try out some of their products, considering that I've never had anything of Becca. I now understand the hype that everyone gives this brand. Their products are amazing! 



I love the shimmering skin perfector in rose gold. It's a beautiful highlight! I love the way it looks on the top of my cheek bones. So here's some background on me being so hesitant on the highlighter cheek bone deal.  I didn't like the idea of shimmer on my actual face. I have oily skin, why would I wanna add shimmer to that? Eww, well that's what I thought. I tried it out and love it! It's a great pop to your makeup. I have no idea what I was thinking, honestly. I will be using a highlighter from now on when I'm doing my makeup. I really wanna try out opal now in the pressed packaging. 

The shimmering skin perfector spotlight in opal is a great highlight color also! I have to figure out how to apply this though. It's in a tube, liquid form so it's a lil more difficult for me to figure out if I should just use my fingers to press in or what? But the color is really pretty. 

The beach tint in guava. This is a great blush for a natural look. I applied it to the back of my hand and dabbed it on my Elf stipple brush. It look very pretty. They also say you can use it as a lip tint but I'm not to sure about it for that. I like I really like it for a blush instead. 

The beach tint shimmer soufflÄ— in watermelon/moonstone I haven't used his yet! Sorry. I'm kinda confused about how to apply it cause of the container it comes in. I'll have to figure it out too.

The next thing I got from Ulta that was one of their beauty steal deals is the Lorac eye shadow palette. Lorac is a brand that I haven't used yet and I thought this was a great chance to do it considering the palette was only $15. This comes in a great package. I think it'll be prefect for travel since it is small and sturdy feeling. It has a magnetic closure. There is also a small mirror inside. The shadows are great too. I think it's good for a everyday, easy look or even a simple look to attend a wedding, which I'm totally planning to do this summer. :) it comes with a base and highlight shade. Then it has 4 shades that shimmer and 1 matte shade. You can even do a smoke eye look with it. Lovin' it for only $15. 


I didn't get a swatch of the base or the highlighter but these are the 4 shadows. 
I love the 2nd color down. Such a pretty shimmer to it. 


Sephora 

I didn't get too much at Sephora but I did get a few deals on Soap & Glory. Apparently Sephora decided to stop saleing Soap & Glory because it wasn't an exclusive brand to them, at least that's what a sales lady told me there. Anyways I like that brand so I went a lil crazy when I saw the price mark downs. I got hand food which is just a great hand cream. Then I got the two minute t-zone detox scrub, I've only tried it once so far. I like it though. I have oily skin as I've said before, but it felt good on my skin and left it soft. And lastly, I got the lip pluming gloss in punch bowl. I love this product. It leaves this tingle and makes my lips pucker a lil. It does have a weird, hard to explain smell to it. I'm not sure what it is but I don't much care for that smell. 

The other thing I got was a Kat Von D blush in por vida. I like it. It's in a pretty color for spring time. Kind of a pink corally shade? Which is something I totally need for the spring season. 

Por vida blush 


Target 

Now target! I love getting Elf products there since there isn't any in my home town. You honestly can't go wrong trying out some Elf stuff. I'm still kicking myself from not getting the palette Megan bought. Those colors were so pretty! Maybe next time I'll grab one! Anyways I bought 2 moisturizing lipsticks. I'm so into the nude pink colors for my lips right now. It must be the spring time. These lipsticks are pretty but they aren't long lasting. I'm not complaining though, I think they're maybe $3, not a bad deal.

Overall, I really like everything I got from our "Guastvos" haul. We did a ton of shopping and had just as much fun. I can not wait to do it again with those girls. :) 
Now if only I can mange my no buy period until June 28. Wish me luck! Lol.
