New Very Small Beauty Haul

 Hi, everyone! How was your weekend?

Here's everything new I picked up/received recently.

The Hair Edit Sleek Chignon Pin

This was sent to me from BzzAgent. It's very sturdy and doesn't bend very easily so it won't break. It's super cute and elevates the hair style.

Lancome Tint Idole Liquid Eye-Blusher in Hot Lava

 

This was also sent to me from BzzAgent. It's a beautiful, neutral shade. It is shimmery, but it's very wearable. I didn't notice much creasing, but I always use an eye primer before applying any eye shadow.

That's everything this time! Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic week!

Small Sephora Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I purchased a couple of items through Sephora's website during their additional 20% off clearance items sale.  Both products are things I've been eyeing for a while now, so I jumped on the chance to purchase them at a greater discount.

Smashbox + Vlada Petal Metal Highlighter in Gilded Rose

I've been wanting this since it came out, but I was on a bit of a no-buy at the time.  Everything about this product is gorgeous - the packaging, the shade, everything!

Stila "Shimmering Heights" Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set in Kitten, Cloud, and Twig

Ever since I first saw these liquid shadows around the internet, I've been dying to get my hands on some!  I really didn't want to spend over $20 on one though, so this 3 piece set is perfect.  All 3 shades are so beautiful.

That's all I ordered.  What do you think of these products?  Aren't they stunning?!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!

Viseart Golden Hour Eyeshadow Palette Review + Swatches

Hello, everyone!  How was your holiday weekend?

I have my review of the Viseart Golden Hour palette for you today.  *It's been quite a while since I've done one of these!*  I purchased this from Sephora's website during the VIB sale, on sale for $39.00 (originally $49.00), and my 15% discount brought it down to only $33.15.  This palette has nine beautiful sunset inspired shadows.  There are only three real matte shades - the black is more of a satin I'd say, since there's a hint of shimmer in it.  The other five shades are shimmers.  The shimmers are smooth and pigmented while the mattes are a bit drier feeling but still just as pigmented.  The shadows are easy to blend and don't become muddy.  There is very minimal fallout compared to other palettes.  The packaging is simple but nice and feels high quality.  The mirror is generously sized with no obstructions besides "Viseart" written along the bottom.  The only aspect that I'm not happy about is the plastic insert with the shade names printed on it.  For a high end palette, the names should be printed on the palette itself and not on a cheap piece of plastic.  The shades aren't anything revolutionary or different - I'm sure we all have these shades in our collections already.  I decided to purchase this anyway because I've never tried Viseart shadows before, and I'm very glad I picked it up!  These shades are perfect for Autumn and transitioning into Winter.

I wore five of these shades for Thanksgiving with my in-laws and received lots of compliments on my eyeshadow.  My favorite shade is probably Seine.  It's such a stunning champagne-gold shade.

Collective Beauty Haul

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I've purchased a few beauty products over the past few weeks that I want to show you.  Only one is a new product (the rest have been around for a while), but they're items that I've been wanting to purchase for some time.

Wet N Wild Coloricon Baked Blush in Dare to Soar (LE)
I'm not really a blush person, but I decided to pick this one up because I don't have many shimmery blushes in my collection.  I thought this would be nice to have on the rare occasion that I wanted to wear a shimmery blush.
 

Wet N Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Blossom Glow
I've seen this highlighter around for a while (even though the packaging says it's new??) and every time I look for it, it's always sold out.  I recently found it in stock though and I'm so glad I grabbed it while I had the chance because it is such a beautiful highlight shade.

St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub
I finished off the Dr. Brandt scrub that I've been using lately and decided to go back to an old favorite.  I really like the Dr. Brandt scrubs, but they are just too expensive!  I can't justify spending $79.00 on a facial scrub when I can get this one for under $10.00.

Kat Von D Beauty Metal Crush Eyeshadow in Thunderstruck
I'm so very happy that I ordered this before it was gone forever.  It's such a stunning shade to use on the eyes or as a highlighter (for super pale people like me).

Moschino x Sephora Moschino Bear Highlighter
I'm slowly but surely adding more of the Moschino x Sephora items into my collection.  I think this whole collection is so cute and cool.  

Sunday Riley Saturn Sulfur Acne Treatment Mask
This was a free sample with my Sephora order, but I'm excited to try it out!  I haven't had the chance to try anything from this brand since it is so expensive.  Have you tried anything from Sunday Riley?  If so, what is your favorite product?

That's everything! Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have a great week!
