PHAMExpo Haul!

As promised, I'm here to share with you all what I picked up while I was at PHAME! I didn't go over board, though it's very easy to when you're surrounded by all sorts of brands.


I picked up was a few things from Lime Crime and let me tell you, the line was CRAZY, but totally
worth the wait!

I decided to finally pick up Blue Milk Liquid Liner, a gorgeous pale blue, which I have been lusting over for the past year and I don't know why I never got around to buying it, but at last it's mine!


The next product that has been on my wish list since it came out is their Velvetine in the shade Wicked. This color is literally my everything right now! I also got the chance to swatch Utopia Velvetine, and this color is quite unique and should be out soon!

What I was most excited about was -of course- getting my hands on some brushes. Like I said I didn't go too crazy, although I wished I had because these brushes are extremely affordable!  *Hides face in shame* I only picked up three!

The brushes I picked up are from Morphe Brushes. I was looking into buying some blending brushes and these were the ones I chose, M433 PRO FIRM BLENDING FLUFF. They are extremely soft and blend my eye shadow like a dream and of course I needed two, one for applying whatever color of choice and the other to blend. Or you can simply use one brush, but I thought why not get two.

Believe it or not, but I've never really owned a smudge brush and always wanted one, so I went for the M408 CHISEL SHADER.

        





I picked up a few hair products from Rock Your Hair. I've always had a problem when it came to having volume in my hair, and although I have thick hair it always remains flat. Needless to say, my hair isn't as voluminous as I would like it to be, so when I saw Bombshell Big Hair Powder in action, I was instantly sold! I've tried this a few times and it does give my hair the volume it desires. The other product I decided to try was Get A Lift Volumizing Spray.
The first time I used it was amazing, my waves were more voluminous and it also smelled really nice!
One thing I have to say is I felt like my hair got a tad greasy after a while, but I still have to test this one out some more to have a final opinion on it.

I'm not a huge lash wearer, but I've always wanted to
try some out to amp up my make up look. Ever heard of the saying: once you start wearing false eyelashes, you'll always wear false eyelashes? I've always wondered if that was true, so I guess we'll find that out soon! I picked up 8 pairs of Ardell False Lashes and even a cute eyelash holder to store the ones I've used.





Well, that's just about all the products I purchased at PHAMExpo this year. Have you tried any of the products mentioned?

Until next time, sending all my love to my fellow make up connoisseurs!

A Small Lush Haul

I've recently taken a trip down to Lush and picked up a couple things I've been dying to try. I used to be completely obsessed with Lush, and was always in and out of that store trying out everything I could get my hands on, but for the past few months I haven't so much as walked into a Lush store. Sad, I know, but I'm glad to say that I've found my love for Lush again!

The first item I had my eye on was their Color Supplement in Light Yellow. I've heard good things about this product and finally gathered up the courage to buy it, and I've been loving it!
I can definitely tell it's going to be a great product for the summer. It's one of those products that doesn't feel too heavy on the skin, but provides amble about of coverage at the same time. You can definitely sheer it out for a lighter coverage by mixing it with a moisturizer, or for those areas that need a little more coverage, you can just use this alone and it will help sort that out.

What I really enjoy about this product is it makes my skin look great and feel great!
Now I may have to go back and pick up a second jar in Dark Yellow, so I can mix the two shades because Light Yellow is the perfect color for me...in the winter that is.

The second product I picked up was Breath of Fresh Air, and this was actually recommended to me by one of the employees. I actually use this toner mixed in with my Color Supplement, and I must say these two make a lovely combination. The Color Supplement can be quite thick and the toner sheers it down and turns it into a thinner consistency.

To be fair, I've only used two toners in my life and this will be my third, but I can tell a difference between them all. The first toner I tried was too drying for me and Breath of Fresh Air is anything but! It really calms my skin  because of the rose and aloe vera, and allows my moisturizer to really penetrate my skin, and it's suitable for all skin types.


I do wish I went for the 8oz bottle instead of the 3oz, seeing how I'm probably going to go trough this bottle quite FAST, and its a way better value for you to get the bigger bottle anyway!


I can already feel the Lush withdrawals! *sigh*

Well, until next time, sending all my love to you all!
