Ulta Haul!



   Most of the posts on this blog are all about the products I receive to review.. Well, not today! This post is all about what I bought on beautylish.com and at Ulta. For anyone that doesn't know, Ulta is a huge makeup/beauty store. Like Sephora, but it also carries 'drugstore' brands, like Maybelline or L'Oreal. It's got brands such as Too Faced and Urban Decay and NYX as well. Beautylish.com is a website that has TooFaced, Sugarpill and several other wonderful makeup brands.  I paid with Affirm, which lets you pay off your bill in 3, 6 or 12 months.
I'm slowly getting into the 'higher end' of makeup, after being a strict buyer of only 'drugstore' makeup. My first palette of the 'high end' variety was Boudoir Eyes by Too Faced (bought on beautylish.com). It's my go-to palette now and I love it, even though I've never been one for neutral colored eye shadows, but the colors are so pigmented and pretty, I just can't help it.  I'm pale so the lighter colors don't show up as well =(
I also bought a palette by Sugarpill (beautylish.com) called the Heartbreaker palette. 



Colors from left to right on swatch pic are: Acidberry, Velocity, 2am, Mochi 
 
Now onto the Ulta haul...
Urban Decay Ammo palette, Too Faced Beauty Darlings set, Butter London Lippy, NYX Butter Gloss, EOS lip balm and EOS lotion.
 Usually when I go to Ulta, it's only for a couple of things. The last time I was there was Christmas Eve because I was trying to find the last gift for my super picky mother. I only bought one thing and spent a whole $8.
This time however, I was on the hunt for the Urban Decay Ammo palette. I've had my eye on it for awhile, but before my purchase on Beautylish, I had never spent more than maybe $20 on makeup at one time. The Ammo palette was on sale at Ulta for $16 and were sold out pretty much everywhere.
I was told by the first associate that I talked to that a woman had come in and bought the last two. So since I had already decided to make a purchase I decided to look around anyway, which was a bad idea..

The first thing I found was this Butter London Lippy liquid lipstick in the color 'Ruby Murray'. It's a dark, vampy purple color. I've started getting into wearing darker color lip colors. I'm limited to the pinks that I can wear and I can't wear nudes.

New Adventures!!

I was offered a temporary (and hopefully more permanent) position as a brand ambassador for a new site called Beautydem. This site is made for users to find inspiration, create sets featuring beauty products. When someone purchases a product from a set, the creator of said set makes a 5% commission from the sale. It's fun and easy and completely free to join. You can make as many or as few sets as you'd like. This is one that I made, featuring sweet perfumes that smell delicious. It features Prada's 'Candy', Jessica Simpson's 'Fancy' and a few others. http://beautydem.com/set/595 Join me on www.beautydem.com !!!!

September 2016 DegustaBox!!

A couple months ago, as I was browsing subscription boxes, I came across a promo code for DegustaBox. DegustaBox is a monthly subscription service featuring 10-15 products. You don't know what you're getting until you open the box! It's $19.95 a month, but you can use this link for $10 off. https://www.degustabox.com/us/register/ref/KAITLYNA-C84 or if you'd rather, just use this code. KAITLYNA-C84 The box was packed full of yummy goodies and I was so excited about eating all of it. I've read a few reviews of this box and they were all pretty positive. The first item, as seen above are PopCORNers. Gluten-free, GMO verified, vegan chips in the flavor Carnival Kettle. They're delicious and taste just like kettle corn. They are flat like a chip, but they're popcorn. Normally I try to stay away from popcorn because it messes with my teeth, but now I can have my popcorn and eat it too! Sorry that was so (pop) corny 😂. I can't stop eating them! These a...

August 2015 Starlooks LooksBook

Starlooks started the LooksBook as a way to introduce subscribers to up and coming trends. The LooksBook is only $12 a month, and includes 3 perfect size cosmetics, as well as 3 lifestyle gift cards to featured brands, and a booklet showing you the best way to use your new makeup.   This month's LooksBook theme was 'Resort' and features three items perfect for summer. It also included three gift cards. The gift cards are: $15 to Torrain (recycled bags with a global conscience), The Laboratory (clothing and jewelry) and $50 to Versa swimwear.   The first item is a water eyeshadow in the color Aqua. It's almost a crème eye shadow that looks like it could be amazing with the right skin tone. Unfortunately it just didn't work for me. I'll try it later on top of a white base and primer, but by itself, it just doesn't show up all that well.                     ...
