This haul is a mix of MAC, NYX, Ben Nye and everything in between.....ENJOY!
This powder is good! I am such a fan of Ben Nye prodcuts! I use it to set my foundation. It's translucent so it doesn't leave a cakey look, but sets my foundation perfectly!
I got my powder off eBay for maybe $11 (including shipping), but you can buy Ben Nye powders from makeupmania.com, camerareadycosmetics.com and the like. I'm sure if you google "Ben Nye Powder" some sites will come up.
This concealer is AMAZING!!! a little really does go a long way (I hate when people use that phrase). I use it as my undereye concealer and set it with Ben Nye Banana Powder and hunnnyyyyyy FLAWLESS!
I actually got a few Wet N Wild products.
The 1st is the eyeshadow in Penny $1.99. It is also my 1st eyeshadow ever by Wet N Wild. I hear that this is a dupe for MAC Expensive Pink. I don't have Expensive Pink to compare them though lol.
I also bought 2 lipsticks by Wet N Wild. The lipsticks are about $2 and when I bought them they were buy 1 get 1 50% off. 24 Carrot Gold which is a pretty bright orange. So perfect for the summer! The other color is called Red Velvet, a red lipstick of course.
Wet N Wild products can be purchased Walgreens and Kmart.
I went to Ulta the other day and they had NYX and a few other brands buy 1 get 1 half off. I couldn't resist buying a few items.
The 1st thing I picked up was the Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator. I was excited about this product because I LOVE the glowy/ golden look in summer. I plan on mixing this with my foundation. It can also be worn alone to add a glow to your face/body. It was about $7.
I also picked up a Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean. I love the Milk Pencil, so I decided to grab Black Bean to use as a base when doing any smokey looks.
I picked up 2 lip liners. 1 in Hot Red and the other in Natural.
I've been hearing great things about these Milani Lipsticks so I decided to try some. There are a few more colors that I would like, but they were sold out. I hear this color is a close dupe for MAC Heroine, which was limited edition.
Maybelline was another one of the brands at Ulta that had buy 1 get 1 50%. I decided to try their Rocket Mascara, which I LOVE!! I only used it once, but I instantly fell in love! I never had good luck with Maybelline's mascaras, but I like this one! I also got another 24 Hour Tattoo in Barely Branded. The 24 Hour Tattoos make PERFECT eyeshadow bases. I plan to own all of them one day!
FAIL- I bought the Cat Eye Mascara by Maybelline a week or 2 ago from Target. I HATE this brush, the formula, EVERYTHING!!! I literally have to put on 10 coats before it looks like I even have mascara on. Please DO NOT waste your money.
I was out of mascara and eyeliner so I made a Target trip to pick some up (the same Target trip I picked up that horrible Maybelline mascara). They were out of my usual mascara, so I decided to try something new.
The 1st couple of times I used this mascara, I hated it. It seemed to clump my lashes together and give that spider leg look. I hate when girls clump on mascara and it looks like that. The last few times I've used it, it seems to be working better.
My Verdict: it's okay but I will not be purchasing this again. I feel like the brush is too little to grab onto my lashes. Idk I'm not a fan of it.
