Black Friday And Cyber Monday Haul

I was surprisingly pretty good this Black Friday/Cyber Monday. By good, I mean, I spent more money on shoes than I did makeup. It’s usually the other way around. Still not quite sure which one is the better option.

Picked up these goodies from Ulta!
➥ Smashbox On The Rocks Travel Brush Set: Travel sizes of Double-ended Smudger Brush, Fan Brush, and
Shadow Brush. $10 here.
➥ Benefit One Hot Bamba: Full Size Bella Bamba Blush, and an Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Bella Bamba.
Unfortunately it is sold out already, but you can get them both on Benefit’s website separately (Blush and Gloss).
I actually got two of these because I know I’d use them and they were SUCH a good deal!
➥ Rita Hazaan Ultimate Shine Breaking Brass
➥ Lee Stafford Hot Shots for Blondes (I would link to this, but Ulta does not have it listed on their website?).

I feel like I stalked the mailman until this finally arrived in the mail! Even with the VIB Rouge shipping, it was still too long. Then again, Sephora IS my happy place…

➥ Too Faced Workday To Weekend Play: mini sizes of Shadow Insurance, and Shadow Insurance Champagne
➥ Kat Von D Lip Love: mini sizes of Everlasting Liquid lipstick in Berlin and Studded Kiss lipstick in Lolita
➥ TOKYOMILK DARK Tainted Love No. 62 Handcreme
➥ Promo Code: Pampered Party Prep Bag (A bunch of deluxe minis in a cute makeup bag)
➥ Samples of: Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, Jurlique Purely Bright Serum, Soap & Glory Sugar
     Crush Body Buttercream 
➥ 100 Pt Reward: Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer

Swatches of the Kat Von D! Studded Kiss Lipstick in Lolita on the left, and Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Berlin on the right.

I only ordered one thing from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, and that was their Lip Tar in Black Metal Dahlia.

Booties from Nordies!!! I have been on the hunt for something like these for ages and was super excited when I found them in my size! On the left we have the Trouvé ‘Bristol’ Bootie in Olive, and on the right Vince Camuto Booties (sold out, mildly similar here).

IMG_0992.JPG IMG_0993.JPG

Sheinside is a little tricky to buy from, each garment’s size varies slightly (so a small is not a small is not a small). They do however have the measurements meticulously listed in the details section, in centimeters. So buying from them does take a little conscious effort, that being said – everything I’ve ever ordered from them has been a perfect fit. Even if it is a hodge-podge of smalls, mediums, and larges. These items were actually both one-size and fit pretty well. On the left: Apricot Sleeveless Lace Crop, and on the right Silver Zipper Striped Skirt.

I saw this sweater on heyitsannabanana‘s Instagram feed a little while ago and I had to have it. I believe it is currently sold out, but Colors of Aurora have added a bunch of new stuff post sale that’s worth checking out.

Did you guys get anything fun from Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

So exhausted from moving over the weekend, but it’s been fun unpacking all of my skincare and rediscovering a few favorites. The moisturizer is super rich and nourishing - just what my tired skin needs💕
