Courtney's Makeup Haul & Review

Sephora & Ulta 

Benefit:

• Erase Paste $10 #2 Medium - This conceals under eye circles like no other while it brightens, very thick, but it doesn't look cakey. I recommend buying the small size it's a $19 value.
• The POREfessional - Great for priming under eyes and it makes pores disappear, has a potent smell, but I like it.
• BadGal Mascara - It has an extremely thick brush, but it basically just coats your natural lashes with a black coat, I'm not a huge fan.

Urban Decay

• Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Sin, Greed, and Original(not pictured) $22 - These really make the biggest difference! They make eyeshadows pop and stay on for a very very long time, love them!
• 24/7 Glide on eyeshadow in Sin, Juju, Clash, Rehab, and Delinquent $12 - These are great if you want a quick look. They are extremely pigmented and stay on probably 24 hours, if you didn't wash it off.

Dr. Brandt 

• Flexitone BB Cream (Deluxe Sample) - This is my first BB cream and I think it works very well. It moisturizes and gives a very dewy look white covering up quite well. It smells of sunscreen.

Rosebud Perfume Co. 

• Strawberry Lip Balm $7 - Very moisturizing and thick. It doesn't give off any color although it is pink in the pan. The smell is very strong of strawberries, kind of a candy scent. I like it.

Mac

• Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in Medium $29  - Everyone knows this product is great, I like to sweep it on my face lightly.
• Eyeshadow in Jest $12 - Described as a soft peach with icy shimmer, a frost finish. for a frost it gives pretty good payoff.
• Eyeshadow in Expensive Pink $12 - Described as a pink with copper duochrome this color is so gorgeous, it doesn't make your eyes look red, but brings out the blue color in them(for me) also a good crease color for Jest.
• Quad Palette Container $7 - Holds four Mac eyeshadow pans, I view it as a better deal than buying the eyeshadows in the pot form.

Estée Lauder

• Double Wear Stay In Place Cream Eyeshadow in Cafe Au Lait $13 - I got this at a CCO in California and it's very pretty! It works very well as a base or on its own and it's super creamy.

Maybelline

• Mega Plush Mascara Waterproof $6 - A very nice mascara! It may replace my Covergirl LashBlast Waterproof, I really like the brush, it's easy to work with and it's so buildable without bing clumpy.
• 24 Hr Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze $6 - A dark bronze color, a good base for other eyeshadows, it's very creamy and it's comparable to higher end cream eyeshadows. 

Nyx

• Jumbo Eye Pencil in Sparkle Nude $4 - I haven't had a chance to put this on yet, but I think it will be a nice base for other colors. 
• Powder eyeshadow in Sahara $4 - This is a great highlight color! It's not matte, but not too shimmery and it looks very natural.

Covergirl

• Eyeshadow Quad in Sheerly Nudes $5 - I haven't had a chance to use this yet.

Jordana

• Fabu Liquid Liner in 01 Black $2.50 - I don't have much experience with liquid liner, but this seems alright, I've used it twice and it kind of goes further than I think it is, but it's very black and I just need to get used to it. 

Haul: Sephora and Drugstore

I recently ordered a few things from Sephora online and thought I would do a haul. Then I went to the drugstore and picked up a couple items, so I decided I would put them in here.

The first thing I bought from Sephora is a benefit kit called Legally Bronze. The kit price is 38$ but the worth is $105. It came in a reusable makeup bag and four full size products. One of the products called gilded is an exclusive to this set. When I swatched it, it glided on a smooth shimmery gold color. The consistency and staying power reminds me of a NYX jumbo eye shadow pencil. I figure if you want to wear it on your lid you should use a primer and set it with a powder. The next product it came with was Hoola, a matte medium bronzer. High beam, a shimmery cool toned liquid highlighter was also included in this set. The last thing in the makeup bag was a badgal brown mascara, which I have yet to try.

Also from Sephora I ordered a mini set that is called coral my world. The cost was $12. It comes with a mini Coralista, a coral blush and a mini sun beam which is a multi-use bronze liquid.

Then lastly from Sephora I got the benefit They're Real! Mascara. The mascara has a rubber wand and a more dry formula, in my opinion. It is an alright mascara nothing I am to excited about.

Then at the drugstore I picked up a few more things: Maybelline BB cream, Rimmel Stay Matte powder, and Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch concealer.
