This collective haul will be divided into four parts and will go over what I picked up recently or received as gifts. I want everyone to keep in mind that all of this wasn’t bought at one time… for instance, all the elf products were purchased way before the holidays, and some of these products were bought with gift certificates. So, keeping that in mind, here’s the first of four posts! I will be reviewing certain items that really stand out to me, whether they be good or bad.

Here’s a few things I’ve picked up lately. I’m going to post a rundown of all my palettes (the generic ones) tomorrow, including which ones I would buy again and where to get them!

Top: 26 Eyeshadow/Blush Palette

I received two more NYX eyeshadow palettes from one of my favorite Ebay sellers, bubbles_n_mocci (check her out for all your NYX product needs! Haha). These shadows are amazing and I’m going to do an in depth review with swatches of the four NYX palettes I own very soon!

My Everyday Minerals order arrived!  I was running out of my mineral foundation so I placed an order a few weeks ago, but I was super disappointed when I visited the site and found that they got rid of their 5 items for $36 package.  I used to get quite a few things from this brand, but now I’m just going to be purchasing my foundation from them.

Also, La Senza, a lingerie store here in Canada which sells Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush products, was having a 5 for $10 sale on cosmetics this weekend, so how could I pass it up?

Everyday Minerals Haul: Sandy fair foundation (semi matte), intensive fair concealer, flat top brush(which is the softest brush ever by the way), 6 eyeshadows- late checkout, cliche, driftwood, ginger peach, bird house, good china.

I am soooo excited!! My Sigma brushes are here!! They are amazing, amazing quality for the price ($69 USD – without a brush roll, $89 – with). But more on them soon, I’ll be putting together a full in-depth review on them during the next few days, and I’ll hopefully have it up early next week.

Here’s what I’ve picked up over the last few weeks:

Top: Sigma face brushes-  SS187 stippling, SS150 powder, SS194 concealer, SS190 foundation, SS168 contour/blush.

Top: Sigma eye brushes- SS209 liner/lip, SS275 angled shader, SS252 flat shader, SS266 angled liner, SS219 pencil, SS239 shading, SS224 blending.

Top: This is so cute!! A free mini SS217 was included in my package! It’s actually one of my favorites, so I emailed the company and asked when they will be offering a full sized SS217 and they said they’ll have one out in two months!!

Top: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in gunmetal, Wet n’ Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Powder in spotlight peach.

Top: NYX For Your Eyes Only 10 Color Palette in smokey eyes, NYX Runway Collection 10 Color Palette in champagne & caviar.

I love the NYX palettes so much I had to order two more!! I’ll be reviewing those in-depth very soon.
