| April Haul |
Let's start off with Sephora, since the majority of the things are from there! Before the sale, I came across the Bite Beauty Love Bite Lip Set. This retails for $45CAD! It comes with 2 Multisticks in the shades Gelato (cool toned pink) and Cashew (rose taupe). It also comes with the Rose Petal Creme Lip Gloss (metallic rose with green and violet shimmer) and a small mirror. I figured that I would purchase this set, since it was a good value (normally a Multistick retails for $28CAD) and I always wanted to try out their Multisticks. As usual, let me know if you would like to see a review on anything from this set! I can review the whole set as well!

Now moving onto what I purchased during the Vib sale! I picked up another one of the Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter and Glow Liquid Eye Shadow. I absolutely love how easy these are to use! I'm also impressed with the color pay off and all, so I just had to get another one! I got the shade Kitten Karma, which is a gorgeous champagne with silver glitter! I also picked up the Touch in Sol Metallist Liquid Foil and Glitter Shadow Duo in Eldora. Eldora is a stunning bronzey gold. So, one side has the liquid foil and the other side has the foil. This stuff is super opaque and it leaves a beautiful metallic finish! I love the liquid side, but the foil side could have had a better applicator. It can kind of gets messy, so be cautious when you use it! However, the finish of it is to die for! The formula is really nice!

I also picked up the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette. This was another item that was on my list for centuries! I mean just look at all these gorgeous peach tones! I don't find that any of the shades are that original, but it's nice to have these kind of tones in one palette. I'm actually obsessed with peach tones, so I do get great use out of it! I've used this palette several times and it's absolutely beautiful! The formula is really nice! The shades are all pigmented and long wearing! They also blend well! You can get a day and evening look with this palette, since it has a mixture of different finishes! If you been debating about this palette, honestly just get it!

Another palette that I had on my list was the Benefit Cheek Parade! I mean the value of this palette is already a steal and then getting 15% off that! Like, I just couldn't pass up on it! This palette has 5 full sized products! It comes with 2 bronzers (including the new Hoola Lite) and 3 blushes (including the new Galifornia blush). I already have a similar Benefit face palette that I purchased a few years ago during the holidays. Hoola, Dandelion and Rockateur are also in that palette. I get really good use out of those shades! I use them on almost all my clients as well, so I figured it would be a useful purchase! Everything in the Cheek Parade is beautiful with an amazing formula, so I highly recommend this palette!

Moving along, I purchased a few skincare products! I wanted to pick up a back up of my favorite Glamglow masks, but I just wanted to try something new, since those masks are super pricey! I actually picked up 3 masks from Laneige. I was introduced to Laneige by Influenster (they send you complimentary products to review) and I've been obsessed with that brand ever since! I picked up the Water Bank Gel Cream, which was the product that Influenster sent me complimentary for testing purposes. I've been obsessed with this moisturizer! It just melts into your skin, leaving it super soft and silky without having that oily sticky feeling! My skin actually stays moisturized throughout the day! I just been so obsessed with this product that once I ran out, I just had to purchase it! I also picked up the Mini Pore Waterclay Mask. I still haven't used this product, but the reviews on Sephora were very promising! I always need products to help me clean out my pores, so I figured I would give it a go! I also picked up the Firming Sleeping Mask. Again, the reviews were very promising, so I had to pick it up! Also, anything firming instantly grabs my attention, so let's see how it goes!

| I love this brand! They have amazing skincare products! |
I also purchased the new Pat Mcgrath Labs Dark Star 006 in Ultraviolet Blue. I mean there should be no surprise! I'm a huge fan of Pat Mcgrath and her stuff is just incredible! Again, her stuff isn't really everyday kind of makeup, but it's perfect for editorial makeup or for anyone that wants to get creative! This kit came with the Eye Gloss in Cyber, Black Smudge Liner Eye Kohl, Blender Brush and 4 Pigments (in UltraViolet Blue, Astral White, Mercury and Dark Matter). I have yet to play with this kit. I did swatch them and everything is just beyond beautiful! The pigmentation and blendability is all there! I did use the Blender Brush and it's really nice! If you want to see a review on it, let me know!

| Isn't this just stunning?! |
Lastly from Sephora, I picked up a few things for my kit. As you know, wedding season has officially started, so I wanted to stock up as much as I can and why not, when you have a 15% discount? I picked up the Sephora Dry Clean Instant Dry Brush Cleaner Spray. If you been following my blog for awhile, then you know that I've been obsessed with the Makeup Forever one, however, it's a bit pricey. So, I wanted to give the Sephora one a go! Overall, I love it! It gets the job done and it's super useful to have, especially if you're a freelance artist! However, it doesn't come with a lot of product, which is a bit annoying. I wish Sephora carried a bigger size of this, because it's legit a essential! I also picked up the small size of the Caviar Working Hair Spray. I haven't had the time to use this spray yet. I'm actually learning hair to add on to my services, so I wanted to test out this hairspray to see if it's good. If you guys have any suggestions for good hairsprays (that aren't sticky) to hold hair styles, please let me know down below in the comments section! Next, I picked up the Sephora Mini Color Switch by Vera Mona. This is basically a sponge that helps you remove the eyeshadow on your brushes, so that you don't have to switch brushes, when you want to change eyeshadow colors. I figured it would be really useful for blending brushes. I have a lot more clients this summer, so I really want to be efficient. I feel like this is going to be really handy! I also picked up the Sephora Retractable Brown Pencil in Soft Charcoal. I ran out of this shade in my kit, so I had to get it. I love this affordable Brow Pencil! It's very precise, so it makes filling in eyebrows so easy! It's also waterproof! It comes with a mini comb at the end, which isn't ideal, but the formula of the product is really good! If you want a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, this is it!

Moving along, I ordered from Tarte Cometics, because they were having a 30% sale. This was before the Sephora sale and I've been eyeing a few products! I wanted to get the Shape Tape Concealer, but unfortunately it wasn't eligible for the discount, so I ended up getting the Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation in Medium-Tan Sand. This shade matches me so well! I've mentioned this before on my blog, but I have red undertones to my skin, so it's really hard for me to find my perfect shade! In fact, barely any brands carry foundations with red undertones, so I always go for a foundation with a neutral, warm or yellow undertones. This one has a nice yellow undertone to it. It's also the perfect shade in between medium to tan, so it matched me really well! I've used it a few times and I do like this foundation. It's more on the medium coverage side, but you can definitely build it up. This is the perfect foundation for those days that you want that no makeup look. If you want me to go in depth and review it, let me know! I also picked up the Tarteist Pro Palette. I've had my eyes on this palette ever since it came out, but I just waited to buy it when it went on sale! It's everything that I expected! The eyeshadows are super pigmented and long wearing! They also blend like a dream! The color scheme is absolutely gorgeous! All the shades are super wearable! There's also 4 metallic shades, so you can definitely get that evening glam out of this palette! They also compliment any skin tone! It's just a beautiful palette to have! With the 30% off, it was a complete steal! Lastly, Tarte included a full size Lip Crayon in Squad (burgundy). At checkout, you're able to select a free sample and I'm surprised that the free sample was actually a full size Lip Crayon. I already own the shade Latergram and it wears beautifully! It's super pigmented and creamy on the lips!

Now, let's get into the PR stuff! My Makeup Brush Set sent me their 12 Piece Oval Brush Set in Pink. They sent me a set last year as well. I actually posted a review on it here, in case you guys want to check that out. Overall, I do like these brushes and since I already have a set, I may do a giveaway with this, so be sure to be following my Instagram for that! I may be doing a Facebook Live with them, so also stay tuned for that!

Moving along, I got the Mieoko brush from the American Beauty Association. It's basically a flat foundation brush. I've used it several times and I do like it. It's not the best foundation brush that I've ever used, but it's nice. I actually didn't get this for free, I did pay like $8CAD for it, but it was a blogger special. If you're a blogger and they send you a email about it, make sure you read every little detail! I know a few people had issues with this company, so just double check what you're clicking!

Simple Glam Girls also sent me their Oval Brush Set. I got the Rose Gold set, which is absolutely beautiful! I haven't experienced any shedding with them and they're super soft! The set comes with 10 brushes! I used a few of the brushes and they're very nice! These are amazing for blending! I'm going to be doing a full review on these soon, however, if you want to purchase anything from this brand, use the code "Divya" to get 20% off! They carry many trending products, including the new unicorn brushes! Definitely check them out!

| Aren't these gorgeous? |
We're finally at the end now! The last product that I've received is the new Clarins Hydra Essential (smaller size) from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes! I mean I just love Influenster and if you don't have the app, you're missing out! I've already received a few products complimentary to review! I was excited to get this product, because I'm all about hydrating my skin! I still haven't used it, but I'll be testing it out soon and hopefully I can get the review up by the end of this month or early June!
