The Clip of my Daughter Jasmyn in the beginning was when her and Her Daddy came home from running errands and she just so happened to come in my room when I was almost done filming :) For those wondering, My Oldest Daughter was still in school and My Youngest daughter was sleeping! :D

Have you tried any of these products?

FTC: Everything in this video was purchased by me. I was not compensated by any company for mentioning these products. As Always, this is my 100% honest thoughts and opinions on these items.

Video :: 3.5 Month huge Collective Haul (requested) Pic Heavy

It's been awhile since my last haul video, and I had asked on twitter and instagram if you would rather see a HUGE 3.5 month collective haul video.. or a blog post with pictures of the haul. only one person on twitter ever did reply that they'd rather see a blog post.. and the majority of people on instagram had requested a video :) 

So hence the reason why I did the longest haul video ever lol. it was 20 minutes long and that was with cutting out a few things lol.. mainly because I was talking too much about the product or the story behind it. but nonetheless I filmed it and I do hope you enjoy it! 

(PIC HEAVY) Huge Collective Haul :: Xmas gifts, MAC, Sephora, Ulta & Drugstore!

So it's been such a long time I feel since my last major haul.. with Christmas and what not, I thought it'd be perfect to do a blog post (and a video to come) on my Haul from the past few months! :) 


(Warning :: Sorry the pictures are all over the place/sideways, for some reason when I save it, it's upright, but when i post it here, it's sideways or upside down :( )


So let's start with the bigger items and move our way down the line..


Naked 2 Palette
My dad got me a gift card to spend, so of course I had to choose this palette when it came out (i'll do a separate review/comparison with the original naked palette)

Small Sephora haul plus swatches

If you remember my last haul (around november) for the VIB event.. I got the Josie Maran seductive golds set as well as the Lancome hypnose doll lashes mascara set.. well I tried them out.. and I did not fall in love with them.. so I figured i'd return them to get something else I might have use for.


the reason why i wanted to get the Josie Maran set, was really only for the gold skin illuminator, but honestly, when I used it.. it did nothing for me.. it didn't even last on my skin long enough for me to enjoy it.. and I really didn't use the other stuff in it (i know the argan oil, didn't use it)..


Don't get me wrong, the lancome set was a steal! I'm aware, but honestly - it's a waste if I wasn't going to use it.. and that's pretty much what ended up happening.. i used it once.. didn't like the artliner (it was too watery and not dark enough) the lasting power was not the best, and ultimately kept choosing my maybelline line stiletto over it.. 

(L-R: Lancome artliner, Maybelline Line stiletto, Physician Formula, L'oreal Lineur intense, Eve Pearl)

So I had been doing some research, and thought i'd stop by my local sephora to see if they had the items I was looking for.. 


Luckily they let me return the items even though I didn't have a receipt (for store credit only, which was fine because that's what I wanted).. so I ended up getting:


- Urban Decay Mariposa Palette
- Urban Decay 24/7 travel size set of 5 (electric)
Also had left over money from a gift card my mom gave me last month and snagged these:
- Tarina Tarantino Jewel Palette in "Magical"
- Bare escentuals Multi-tasking concealer in "Summer Bisque"


I also redeemed my 500 point beauty insider perk which was what I had been waiting for.. forever! the Laura mercier flawless favorites.. so excited to try it out! 


On to the photos!

Sephora VIB Haul :: Picture Heavy :)

Since I totally missed out on the Sephora Friends & Family sale, I was so ecstatic to find out that Sephora was having an event for VIB (very important beauty-insiders).. and they were given 20% off from November 10th - November 14th (in store and online). Also there was an instore event at our local participating Sephora store on November 10th..


At this VIB event, you could learn new tips & tricks from their makeup studio, see the latest beauty picks and newest items.. and of course get a free bag (i didn't since i came to the event later - but got chocolate instead lol)..


but nonetheless, I was so glad My mom came with me, she took me shopping lol! :D so i got tons of goodies! :) mind you, it's not very often I go shopping with my mom - cause we're both so busy with work (and school for me).. and since i'm not working at the moment, she decided to spoil me! <3 I Love my Mommy! <3


Oh and no she didn't purchase ALL of these for me.. (just the danmari palette & the amazing grace perfume because I also had a gift certificate to Sephora which covered the rest :D)  

Here is what I Hauled! I'm so excited to use these ALL! lol

Here is everything together

Got 3 samples:

Hourglass face primer, Marc Jacobs "Oh, Lola" perfume & Issac Miyake "Floral" perfume

I went ahead and redeemed my beauty insider gift :D

Benefit "Watt's Up!" highlighter

brush cleaner (for in between washes)

 Philosophy "Amazing Grace" :D

Josie Maran Seductive Golds set 

This was the gold skin illuminator 

 This lipgloss smelled like caramel popcorn!

the last one was an eyeliner brush, eyeliner gel & eyeshadow in one!

The NARS Danmari All About Cheeks Palette

Lastly, the Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara Set

Did you pick up anything from the F&F or VIB Sale?
