Sephora Haul!

Benefit - How to Look the Best at Everything - $30
Sephora Exclusive

A few weeks ago I received a small sample of the Benefit Hello Flawless foundation and wanted to try it out for more than a day but I didn't want to quite splurge on a full bottle so exclusive to Sephora they have this set with Porefessional, Hello Flawless, two shades of  boi-ing concealer and Hello Flawless powder, for only $30 this a really great way to try out Benefit products and see how they all work together.
 
Sephora Black Magic palette. I didn't have time to swatch the entire thing but I've bought another Sephora palette (Desert Palette) and I use it all the time. Sephora has great eye shadows!

Charlotte Ronson eye shadow quad
I've never owned anything from CR so I thought this would be a good start.

Swatches from the Charlotte Ronson quad.
 
I had the option to use some of my points I've earned and I've been looking to try Kat Von D products so I'll let you know how this goes.
 
For spending $25 or more you get to pick one of four sample bags, I'm not really impressed with anything in this bag, so I'm not even sure why I picked it. I am excited to try the Smashbox mascara but the rest of it I've tried and don't like or something I wouldn't be interested in. To the stocking stuffer pile they go!
 
& then my 3 samples I picked.
 
(I also bought false eyelashes from Sephora & I'm not sure why I didn't get a picture of them)

Stila Haul - Fall Beauty Bash-

My Stila haul came this week! When they had their fall beauty bash a few weeks ago I did a little purchasing because I've never owned anything Stila and they had some GOOD prices!


It came all wrapped in pink tissue paper. Love at first sight!
 
Natural finish oil free foundation, countless color pigments, & two shades of brighten and correct concealer.
 
Countless Color Pigments in : Center Stage, regular $22 I only paid $4 (:
I still haven't swatched this because I am to in love with it to ruin it. & I only bought it because its pretty lol but I will swatch it eventually!
 
& they sent me 20 eye shadow samples hmm this could be fun to play with.

We all know I am obsessed with the Dollar Tree when it comes to cheap makeup finds, my local store is pretty small and its hit and miss but I usually do find nice ELF products or Rimmel, sometimes L'Oreal but that's pretty much it. Well while in town today I seen the biggest DT ever and I knew I had to stop and check out their beauty aisle. I've heard of people finding great brands in other stores so really I wouldn't have worried myself to death if I hadn't stopped. So here is my Dollar Tree find for today....
 
ELF Studio Matte Lip Colors aka Lip Pencils
I bought the Rich Red Color at my local DT this past week but was stoked to find 3 new colors that I didn't already have, which according to ELF's website there are only 6 colors and I have 4 now so maybe I can snag the last 2 soon! I keep telling myself I need to invest in more fall/winter colors but I love pinks and corals and they were only $1 and I couldn't pass that up! Online ELF has them listed for $3 apiece while I only paid a $1 each. Sounds like a deal to me!
Elf Studio Matte Lip Color swatches: L to R: Tea Rose, Coral & Nearly Nude
 
L'Oreal Wear Infinite Silky Powder eye liner in Gold Shimmer & Brown Suede
I've purchased L'Oreal at my DT before but its just been blush & bronzer so today when I seen the eye liner I was all excited. As far as my everyday black liner goes I use a felt tip pen but I don't mind using a pencil for special colors on special occasions. I bought a brown and gold, they had also a silver and lavender but I was trying to stick to my fall colors and be reasonable. When I swatched these I was pleasantly surprised at how creamy and smooth they went on! Usually I have the worst time with pencil eyeliners but these may change me! According to google these go for $5.59 apiece but once again I only paid $1!

Milani Lip Pencil & Eye shadows
I've heard of people finding Milani in DT's but never in mine so when I found these today I was very happy! They had a few other shadow shades but nothing I needed (lime green!) and they had lipglosses but once again nothing that I wanted. The shadows go for around $6 at drugstores & the lip pencil about $3.98
 
Top: Milani Lip Pencil in Satin Rose
Bottom L to R: 22 Sheer Sand & 09 Spice
The sheer sand wasn't as silky smooth as the spice, I'm not sure if just that color does that or I picked up a bad seed but maybe if I add primer it will go on better.
 
All in all I think I did great today! I couldn't be more proud of my makeup haul! If I would have bought these items at full retail price I would have spent over $50 but I only spent $14! Comment below & let me know what you've found at your Big Lots & Dollar Trees!
