HAUL: My First COLOURPOP Order

So I recently decided to order some Colourpop items on a whim. I have been wanting to try their products pretty much since I discovered them but just have not had the need to. I finally decided to start getting into makeup again so I indulged. I was happy to see that they were offering a $5 off coupon for new customers as I was bummed that I skipped on the black friday sales. I was also pleased to see that there was free shipping on all orders over $30. I picked up the 'Nice' holiday set ($15), the 'It's Vintage' Ultra Matte To Go lip set ($18), and 'Bae' eyeshadow ($5) in order to meet the free shipping requirement. My order ended up being $36 including taxes. 

One thing I have to mention about ordering from their website is the wait time. You won't get fast shipping turnaround like you would with a corporation so you need to learn to be patient. I am the opposite so I was fuming every day I did not get a shipping confirmation, dramatic I know haha. But I was happy to get the email 4 days later and since I live close to their warehouse, I received it 2 days after that. So that made up for the wait. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised with the brand overall but I am having a bit of difficulty taking a liking to the eyeshadows and the highlighter. I have read that application is best with fingers but my small lids don't work with that method. I will be doing a review and will have individual posts on all of the products I purchased. Stay tuned for that!

xoxo,
Jessica

HAUL: Nail Polishes From Transdesign.com

Hey guys I wanted to share with you a haul that I made recently. I might have gone a little overboard but when I see a good deal a light bulb goes off on my head that tells me that I can't pass it up. This is my first time purchasing from Transdesign.com and I must say that I am very pleased with the customer service. I ordered on a Sunday and I received my package the next Monday. From what I heard on average the package takes about 1 week to get to its destination. I decided to finally splurge on some new colors because the ones I have are just so BLAH to me. I picked up some from the hunger games collection, the Electropop collection, the island escape collection, and some from older collections. Also decided to check out a new base and top coat. Please keep reading to see up close shots of the rest of my new gorgeous babies.

HAUL: Nail Polish Wall Rack!

I know all I've been doing is hauls for the last few posts, but I promise I'll combat them with legit helpful posts. So I finally got myself a nail polish rack, and for under 40 dollars! What a steal because the only prices I have seen have been for at least 50 bones. I got the one that holds 72 but being a nail polish addict as well now, I'll need another one soon darn lol. I didn't take actual pictures unfortunately of it empty so here are a few shots from my instagram/iphone. If you guys have any questions let me know. Enjoy!

HAUL: Benefit, Clinique, and Polishes!

HAUL: Magnolia Makeup

Hey guys so I know I should stop hauling but honestly this was such a steal that I had to cross it off of my wishlist  Magnolia Makeup was having a sale for 50% off their pigments and glitters. So I got them each for d dollars. How awesome for these amazing pigments! Review to come of course. I got 3 specific colors because I loved one of the looks that Lauren A.K.A QueenOfBlending had posted on her facebook. The others I got just because I liked them and I do not regret getting any of them! I'll post swatches along with the review, BTW these colors are beyond gorgeous! Read on for the rest of the pictures :)

HAUL: Sephora Friends and Family 2011.

Sooo here is what I know people love to see, HAULS! This is my latest haul. It's my Sephora Friend and Family 2011 purchase. Review to come on these things, I have a long list of reviews to knock out. Since I had the discount I decided to splurge on some things I have been wanting. The MIA I must admit is indulgent and I have said before I wouldn't spend the money, but I decided to make the investment in my skin. I got the Tarte for True Blood palette because I saw Jacqueline's posts (1,2,3,4) on them and I had to get it to recreate her looks. Loving everything so far and I think I definitely got my money's worth. The philosophy purity cleanser was my 100 point bonus for being a beauty insider. It is freaking 12oz (valued at around $25)! How awesome is that? FREE! I really didn't need it, but I couldn't pass it up. Geesh I have enough cleanser to last me at least a year. I'll probably end up giving it to my sister or someone else who might need it. That's all my ramble for now, next the pictures. If you wanna see more images and info on the products, please keep reading after the jump.

Haul: KleanColor Nail Lacquers and Randoms

I am coming to fall in love with KleanColor polishes. They are super affordable and amazing quality! I've been buying them from a user on eBay called 27kitten, check them out if you need a fixing for these polishes like I do! They retail for $3.49 and she sells them for $1.75, albeit the shipping is $2.50 for 1 so I make it worth my while and get a handful. When I was in Vegas I got a manicure before coming back to L.A. and I fell in love with a polish and it was in impulse buy but I shelled out $7 for it. Crazy right! This was the first I had ever heard of the brand so I didn't know their value until I got home. I was distraught so I went out to seek more, I usually go to eBay when I want something cheap and fast so I was satisfied with all my purchases. In total I have 15 of these polishes now and I just discovered them a little over a month ago. But KleanColor is my new favorite brand for all the tie in factors. Look for a review in the near future!

Read on for the rest of the haul!
