Oh yeah you heard right. I went all out these past couple of weeks and took the plunge in buying a couple of beauty product I have been eyeing for a while now. My wallet weeps.. So let's get started!
***
NARS Pro-Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base $24
Heard about this for months from Ingrid or MissGlamorazzi on YT. She has extremely oily eyelids like me and this will hopefully be the answer to my eyeshadow creasing woes. It starts out white and dries onto the eyelid clear.

A dark grey-blue with shimmer
OPI Happy Anniversary! $8
A white with shimmer
OPI Which is Witch? $8
Reminiscent of Teenage Dream but has larger holographic particles and of course is grey.
*
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (smaller size) $14
My only holy grail nighttime moisturizer. Little goes a long way so this smaller size will go a long way and is way more travel friendly than the bigger, bulkier version.
*
Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer (smaller size) $18
I have heard GREAT things about this primer and is seen as the top of its class which made me even more excited once I saw that it came in a smaller, cheaper size at Sephora.

LORAC Baked Matte Satin Blush in Plush $12 (originally $24)
Okay this Lorac VIP sale, that started a couple weeks ago, was the beginning of my spending freefall. But how could I not resist?! Lorac was having (and still having!) a great deal on their products. This is the kind of sale that a money saver like myself waits for.
Plush certainly does not have a "matte" finish as the title implies but it is not overbearing and is a beautiful peachy shade. Perfect for the summer on my warm medium skin.
*
LORAC Blush in Rose $10 (originally $20)
Of the other blush colors available on the LORAC website for sale, Rose just looked the most flattering as you can see from the photo.
*
LORAC Eyeshadow in Spice $6 (originally $19)
I'd describe this as a taupe brown with shimmer. Unfortunately, as of now, it is sold out.
*
LORAC Eyeshadow in Serenity $6 (originally $19)
A light bronze with shimmer. Just to let you know, this color looks better in person than what is shown on the website. As you can see from the photo, Serenity looks more pink in person and looks like a good dupe for Stila's Kitten eyeshadow!
*
LORAC Eyeshadow in After Party $6 (originally $19)
A plum with a deep purple shimmer
*
LORAC Eyeshadow in Bronze $6 (originally $19)
A bronze (brown that leans toward red) with shimmer
*
LORAC Face selfTANtalizer $0
This was a free sample that came with my purchase.

I'll be back with part 2 tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by!
