Huge Ulta and BBW Haul!!

Guys....I did something bad. I went to Ulta...and I got a lot! I tried to logic this in my head that I had a 20% off entire purchase coupon as well as a $10 off coupon. So I saved a lot of money...but I spent a lot too. Anyway, I wanted to share my haul with you! I got lots of new products that I cannot wait to review :) Enjoy!!

FoTD: Silver and Plum

It was great to use products I haven't touched in a long time.

This is an Amazonian clay(Tarte uses this in several products) bronzer in Hotel Heiress. This is one of their most popular products.  It usually retails for $29 but is on hautelook for only $10! That's more than half off!!

Are you planning to get anything from this event on Hautelook? I totally want to order some stuff, but seeing as I'm on a project pan(for more info on my project pan check out this post!) I will try to restrain myself and not buy anything. But I wanted to let you guys know about all these awesome deals! Until next time, thanks for reading!!

November Favorites!

This is a little late but I wanted share with you my November Favorites! I have lots of new products to talk about!

Primers-I really enjoyed playing with some face primers in November. I used Tarte's Clean Slate Poreless and Benefit's Pore-fessional.  I prefer Benefit's better as its tinted and seems to hide my pores better.

Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie-Wore this so much this month, can't believe I haven't really used it before.

NYX Lipgloss in Tea Rose-Super pretty deep pink. Very pigmented.

L'oreal Infallilbe Pressed Eyeshadows in Iced Latte and  Bottomless Java-These are super pigmented and creamy and are wonderful eyeshadows. I can't wait to buy more!!

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Pencil Duo in Zero and Whiskey- I finally tried a pencil from Urban Decay and am obssessed! I must have more of them in my life!

Jordana Fabuliner- Another eyeliner to talk about. It was the month of eye products. I can't believe I haven't tried this eyeliner yet. I won it in a giveaway and was super excited. It's my new holy grail liquid eyeliner. :)

TheBalm Body Builder Mascara-This was a fail product in October but now its a favorite product for the month of November. Once it dried out a bit, it was perfect for adding some drama to my eyelashes, not something I liked by the way. My eyelashes are long enough without mascara, but I actually like the way this makes lengthens and defines them.

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige-Finally got my hands on this baby and its now my favorite base!

Sigma's E60 Large Shader brush-Using to to apply my color tattoos. It applies the color sheerly and blends super nicely. I have a coupon code for Sigma, which is 10% off your order. Use DEC2012 at check out! http://www.sigmabeauty.com/?Click=224226

Bath and Body Works Charmed Life Lotion-Rediscoverd from my collection, sadly this is discontinued. Why BB&? Why must you discontinue all the good scents??

Got2B Guardian Angel Curling Heat Protectant-This is a great heat protectant that holds curls amazingly!


That's it for my November Favorites. Already looking forward to my December Favorites because I have a lot of new products I've been playing with and already have some new favorites! See you guys next time!

Wishlist Wednesday: Tarte Fantastic Foursome Amazonian Clay Blush Set

There is one thing that I've been majorly hinting at that I want for Christmas and it is this amazing blush set from Tarte. I've never tried any of the Amazonian Clay blushes but I have swatched them at Ulta and fell in love.  For the holidays, Tarte came out with this pack of four blushes for only $35.



Included is a very pretty hot pink, coral, a very natural tanish color, and a highlighter.

So what do you think of Tarte's blushes? Are they worth it? And since its November and almost the start of the holiday shopping season, what's on your holiday wishlist?
