I've been using this palette daily since I got it. My favorite color has to be dark horse. Such an awesome rich dark hued brown...love it!

Beauty Splurge
Hey everyone! So I recently received an email from Sephora that because I was a VIB member I would be able to get 20$ off of a 50$ or more purchase. Sweet deal right? Well I thought so! I ended up buying the Urban Decay Naked Palette that I've been eyeing for so long. Though the timing was kind of bad since the second one is out now. Hopefully I won't have to wait as long to get my hands on that one lol!

Updates OMG!
Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay in not having posted in a bit, life has kept me busy! I've been working on a compiled haul with the help of my sister. Right now she's taking photography courses so I figured enlisting her help to take photos would be nicer and easier than taking them myself with my old Canon point and shoot.
Don't forget about my giveaway either! For more information, details and more on how you can win an OPI Shattered nail polish click here!
I also realize that I was meant to have a Vegas Haul, but that didn't turn out since I had to return a few of the products (Like the Yves St-Laurent Faux Cils Mascara) and that some of the accessories I bought at Forever 21 broke. Which in turn is super disappointing since there was this one awesome necklace with a bicycle outlined in shiny crystals, but the handlebar broke off. I think it's because it was pewter or something and the metal was too thin.
For my upcoming haul it's going to include two pairs of really cute boots that I bought off of Hautelook. And I must say that this site is quickly becoming a morning routine for me. There's usually something that catches my eye and considering the deals you can get, I save money while shopping. It's a great win win no? Haha! Anyways, there's a pair of Kenneth Cole booties that are super adorable and a faux suede pair of flat short boots with a metal belt accessory. I was apprehensive about purchasing footwear online, not knowing if the sizes would fit, what the material would be, if they would be comfortable etc. But I must say that with those two pairs I'm really impressed. They both fit perfectly, are in excellent brand new condition and even come with the brand new shoe smell! AMAZING! And for designer shoes at 20$ a pop...I think I got amazing deals on both of them!
For Hautelook you can use this invitation to join. It's free to sign up and for a great perk, ask your friends to join and if they buy something, you'll get 10$ for having referred them. The brands change every day and some of the great ones that I've seen have been Juicy Couture, NYX Cosmetics, Urban Decay, Kenneth Cole, Eve Pearl and more. I have a tendency to go for the cosmetics and shoes! Depending on what you're into, there's something for everyone and you can get it at a great price too!
Coming up in future blog posts, I'll also do a review on my recent Sephora purchase. I bought the Valentines kit from Stila which included this really cute blush (The blush had the pattern of different candy hearts...sooo cute!) and two mini lip glazes. And for the lip glazes being minis, they're pretty big too! For pictures and more, you can see my previous blog post here: Stila Make Me Blush
And last but not least, I'm hoping to start on a few tutorials. One of them is a really quick and easy natural look that literally takes five minutes to do in the morning. It brightens up the eyes but still gives enough definition to give your eyes that POP!

Hautelook Haul
Hey everyone! So this is my first post and we're going to start things off with a haul!
I recently purchased Urban Decay and Lorac products from Hautelook.com (If you need an invite to the site I will provide a link below!). Needless to say I bought quite a bit and paid next to nothing for it. I love finding great deals and I always seem to find something on this website!
Anyways, to start off with I bought a few products from Urban Decay; a mix of eye shadows and eye pencils. For the eye shadows I bought Narcotic and Chronic, which are really nice matte shadows. For the pencils I got Green Goddess, Mary Jane, Maui Wowie and Purple Haze. I think I got them for something crazy like 2$ each so I bought two of each! They're really nice pigmented pencils with a smudge brush on the other tip.
My other purchase was from Lorac. I had previously bought an eyeshadow and loved the consistency, the pigmentation and the color itself and when I saw it was on sale I was urged to purchase more! I'm a shopaholic when it comes to makeup, what can I say? Anyways, I ended up Jade, Reverie, Lush, Olive and Lilac which are really nice neutral everyday colors. I found a baked matte satin eye shadow and decided to try Posh. It's a really nice peachy/pink color so I'm guessing it will be really cute as a highlighter, a base or for a look that's meant to be very neutral. Last but not least from Lorac is my Caribbean Crush palette. Now this was purchased for the sole reason of taking down south or using in the summer time because of the shades and the shimmer in the products. And I have to say that with swatching everything in here, the colors are really nice for the shadows, the blush is a cute color, the bronzer as dark as it is is really nice and the highlighter is cute as well! All in all, this palette has a bit of everything and it was less than 10$ if my memory serves me well.
Last but not least I was super excited when I came back from Vegas (My uncle's Christmas present to my sisters and I...amazing right?) to find a delivery from Tarte Cosmetics sitting on my bed! Just before leaving I had recently started following Tarte Cosmetics on Twitter, unbeknown to me they were holding a contest and giving away 5 palettes, of which I won one! I was so stoked! This palette is huge and retails for about 52$ at Sephora, so figure than in Canadian and you're looking at about 70$ or so!
I know I know, things are getting long but I'm almost done! Ha! Anyways, below I'll have pictures of all of the products I just received from my most recent haul from Hautelook and later on this week I'll do another haul on all of the beauty products I purchased in Vegas. I bought so much at the four Sephora's there!
