| Just a few of my purchases for this month |
I'll start off with my Sephora package that I was supposed to get last month! These are products that I ordered from the VIB sale online. I finally got the Smashbox Step By Step Contour Stick Trio! Everyone has been raving about these, so I had to get them! Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to use them! I don't even know how I forgot that I bought this, because it's been on my wishlist for months! It's just I keep my newer products in a bag, so that I don't mix them with my other products and it's just been sitting at the bottom of the bag! I will be using it tomorrow, so let me know if you want me to do a review on it! Next, I bought the MUFE Artist Shadows Palette in 1. This is a new eyeshadow palette that MUFE released this year! They have a colorful one and a all nude palette (the one I bought). I absolutely love this palette! MUFE in my opinion makes the best eyeshadows, so I just had to buy it! I did a review on it, so definitely go check it out http://makeupcheckbydivya.blogspot.ca/2015/05/make-up-for-ever-artist-palette-volume.html . Next from MUFE, I bought the new Pro Bronze Fusion in 25I. This product comes in a few shades and you can get either matte or iridescent. I chose to get iridescent, since it's summer and I don't mind a little shimmer. I also own a million matte bronzers, so I wanted a change. It's gel based and it's not super pigmented or too sheer, it's right in between. It blends really nicely and it looks natural! So far, I really like it! The last product I ordered online was the Hourglass Ambient Lightning Palette. I been wanting this product for the longest time and let me say, it's amazing!!! I can't believe I waited so long! It comes with 3 highlighters that would suit any skin tone. It's pigmented and blends really nicely! It honestly just gives you such a natural highlight! It's perfect for any occasion! I'm telling you, it's worth every penny!

I also placed a order online for just one product. I got the Givenchy Le Rouge Couture Edition. Like oh my god! The packaging of this is beautiful! It's all floral! The shade is 205 Fuchsia Irresistible. I honestly just purchased this lipstick for the packaging. I don't know why, but online it didn't say which shade this lipstick was in and when it arrived, I realized that I already owned this lipstick in the regular packaging. Luckily, I love this fuchsia and I'm glad that I have a back up! It's really pigmented and it doesn't bleed. It also glides on your lips like butter and if you don't eat or drink, it can last up to 10 hours. I recommend this lipstick!

I also made a trip to my local Sephora in Fairview. I went in to buy a present for my friend, but I'm weak and walked out with things for myself as well (makeup addict problems!). I bought the Sephora brand eyelashes in Showstopper. I just really been into false lashes lately and I only own Ardell lashes, so I wanted to change it up a bit. I really like these lashes. They're long and so volumized! The band on this one is not as thick as the Ardell ones and they're just really nice in general! I love these for a night out! I also got the Duo Brush on Adhesive. I know I picked up a lash glue last month, but I didn't know Duo had a brush on glue! I find it so much easier than squeezing out the product from the tube, because at times a lot comes out and it gets messy! With this one, you have control over how much glue you need, so I really recommend this product! Next item was a splurge, but I heard nothing but good things about it! It's the YSL Volupte Tint in Oil and I picked it up in #4 I Rose You. I'm obsessed with this product! First of all, it smells so nice and it feels really nourishing on the lips!!! It doesn't feel sticky and I really like the color of this shade! If you have dry lips, I highly recommend it! It's worth every penny! I also finally picked up the Makeup Eraser! This has been in the market for awhile and it claims to remove makeup with just water! Let me say, it's true and I barely use my makeup wipes now! I'm really impressed by this product! I did a quick review of it, if you want to know more about it http://makeupcheckbydivya.blogspot.ca/2015/05/makeup-eraser-original-makeup-eraser.html . Now the last product I picked up, is something I been searching for a long time! It's the Laura Mercier Face Illuminator in Indiscretion! Oh my god, I was so shocked to find this, because it's been sold out online for like weeks and weeks now! I told myself I didn't need it, but after seeing the swatches and reviews online, I just wanted it so badly, but it was sold out by that time! So when I saw it, I like grabbed it right away and it was no jokes, the last one that they carried (it was meant to be)! I'm so happy to add this to my collection! It's a beautiful light bronze champagne highlight. You can't see too much of the pink, it's more of a warm soft rose gold. It's stunning and would suit any skin color! This product is still available at Nordstorm (online at least) and it's now available on the Laura Mercier website or if you get lucky, you may find it at your local Sephora! Another product that's worth every penny!

I forgot to include the Makeup Eraser in the picture, but it's just a hot pink cloth. You can click on the link above to see pictures of it!
That's it for Sephora. I also went to Pharmaprix (drugstore) and came across this product. It's the NeoStrata duo Microdermabrasion. It comes with Crystals and a Activator. You apply the Crystals first, let it sit for awhile and then you go over it with the Activator. It exfoliates superficial layers of the skin, enhances skin clarity and helps your skin look radiant! I only tried this once and let me say, I saw the results right away! My skin just looked healthier and radiant! I was shocked that it gave me instant results! I didn't experience any break out, but again I only used it once! I'll most likely do a review on this later on when I use it for a few weeks, so stay tuned! Then, I just got nail polishes. I got the Essie "Brides To Be", which is a beautiful light peachy/pink nude. Then I got Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in 105 "Bare It All" (light nude pink) and 481 "Breezy Blue" (light pastel blue). As you can see, I'm in my spring mode with these light pastel colors! I haven't tried these on yet, but I'm already familiar with the formula and I love both these brands! I already own a few different shades! I highly recommend them!
I also went into MAC. The new Wash & Dry collection came out, so I wanted to go in store to see the products. In the end, I only picked up the High-Light Powder in Freshen Up from this collection. I did a quick review on it, if you guys are interested in this product http://makeupcheckbydivya.blogspot.ca/2015/05/mac-wash-dry-high-light-powder-hot-or.html . I wasn't too impressed with it. I find there's better highlighters, especially for the price! Then, I picked up the Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof foundation in NC42. I won't go too much into this product, because I will be reviewing it, but so far so good! It's been my daily foundation! If you have oily skin, you'll love it! If you have dry skin, it may be too drying. Stay tuned for the review though! The last product that I got from MAC is the lip liner in Oak. I just been loving MAC lip liners to apply all over my lips! I especially been loving their nude liners, so I had to get another shade! Oak is just your perfect neutral brown! It's lighter than Stripdown and you can pair it up with any nude lipstick! If you have a nude lipstick that washes you out, this will be the perfect lip liner to put under your lipstick! I highly recommend this shade!

That's it for my in store purchases! The rest is all online. My second package that arrived late was from Morphe Brushes and I picked up several products! I picked up three eye brushes; M562 (tiny crease blender), M429 (duo fiber brush to blend the crease) and M560 (detail crease). I used all of them and I really like them! I didn't experience any shedding, they're easy to wash and the brushes do their tasks! I find Morphe Brushes are so similar to MAC and they're like half the price! The M429 was $5USD and the other two were $4USD! If I went to MAC, I'd be spending at least $25CAD, so definitely look into Morphe Brushes! Then, they finally restocked the LA Girl Pro Concealers! I been wanting these for the longest time, but they're not available anywhere in Montreal or I couldn't find another site to ship them here! Like you don't understand how happy I was when Morphe had all the shades available! For myself, I got the shades Dark Cocoa (to contour) and Pure Beige (highlight). I'm obsessed with these! For $3USD, they're amazing! Since it's liquid, you do have to set these with powder, but they're long lasting and the applicator makes it easy to use! I highly recommend these! I got six other shades for my kit. Then, I purchased the new LA Splash liquid lipsticks in Innocent Vixen (peachy pink nude), Ghoulish (grey mauve brown) and Untamed (dark vampy red). I only tried on Ghoulish and so far so good! I only wore it once. If you don't eat or drink, it will last up to 10 hours without fading! If you drink or eat, it won't disappear on you completely, but you will see that certain areas need a touch up! It's really pigmented, so you only need one layer and it's comfortable to wear! I won't go too much into these, but stay tuned for a review on these! Lastly, I purchased the Morphe lashes in #110. I haven't wore these, but what I like about them, is that the band is thin! I'm excited to wear them!

Next, I purchased online from Younique. I mentioned it in my last haul that I'm a presenter and my website is www.youniqueproducts.com/divyapatel , if you're ever interested in purchasing from Younique. I picked up the Rose Water that I been eyeing for awhile! I only used it twice, but so far so good! I find it hydrates my skin and makes my makeup last longer. I would say it does the same thing as MAC Fix Plus (my holy grail). It also leaves your skin smooth and makes the makeup application easier! I'll most likely review it later on. Next, I purchased the Splurge cream shadow in Dainty. I bought one last month and I really liked it for night time looks, so I purchased another shade. However, I don't like Dainty on me. It's a mauve taupe brown with a lot of glitter in it. It came out more on the grey/mauve side than brown. It's still a beautiful color, but just not for me. I'll most likely just add it to my kit, since I do like the formula.

Finally, my last order was from ColourpPop! I been wanting to try this brand for awhile, since I heard nothing but good things about it! Also, everything is under $10USD!!! Like, it's so cheap, that it's worth giving a try! Before I start, I just love the presentation of my package! With every purchase, they hand write you a little note/message with your name on it. I just found that so thoughtful, because I'm sure they get like hundreds and hundreds of orders per day! Anyways, I picked up the set by Kathleen Lights, which is called Where The Light Is. It came with 4 eyeshadows; two matte, one peralized and one metallic. I also got three individual eyeshadows in Ibiza (bright turquoise with a pearlized finish), Truth (neutral light beige with a satin finish) and Smash (medium brown with a satin finish). So far, I really like these! They're really pigmented and blend really nicely! The application is smooth. The only thing is, if you really want the color pay off (the best results), you have to pat these eyeshadows on with your fingers and if you have fake nails like me, it gets annoying. I just use a synthetic brush, but I have to build it up with a few layers. The colors are gorgeous and I can't wait to pick up more! The last product I purchased is the Lippie Stix in Lumiere. These are $5USD just like the eyshadows and the color selection is really nice! Lumiere is that mauve pink that's been in! It reminds me of MAC's lip liner in Soar, but it's a bit darker. I love this color and it's a beautiful everyday color! I highly recommend you try ColourPop! Their products are so cheap with amazing quality!

That's it for my haul! I feel like these hauls are getting bigger and bigger. I have a lot going on and a lot of projects that I been working on, so I doubt I'll purchase a lot of products in June. Like usual, if you want me to review any of these products, just leave me a message!
