Sephora Haul…First Video!

I made a video!!  It took me a while to figure it out…I am so noob at this!! 

Here it is:

 

Please watch and tell me what you think, I am so new to videos, any suggestions on how to make it better would be really helpful  

 

Here are the pictures if you don’t feel like watching the video…

So I went to Sephora this weekend to take advantage of their 15% off sale, the store was sooo crazy I had to wait 20 minutes in line just to pay!! omg insane.  Anyway, since I was going to Sephora anyway I decided to take back the broken MUFE blush to exchange, but they were all out of stock at the store I went to…so I decided to just return it, because I spotted another pink blush that I like better!

My collective haul:

NARS Angelika blush, I checked it out because Fuzkittie suggested it, it’s really cute!

I was put off by all the shimmers, but when worn it’s actually  not very obvious which is good.  I was deciding hard between this and Desire, and ultimately chose this one because I think the pink is paler than Desire.  I really want a pale baby pink color, is that too much to ask for?? It’s sooo hard to find a good one that is pale but still shows up on my skin…

I think this one really fits the bill, it’s pale yet it’s also pigmented and actually shows up on my cheeks!  I hope this is THE pink blush for me, because all the other ones I’ve tried just haven’t been as *perfect*, we’ll see.

Then I got a NARS eyeshadow duo in Cordura.

I have been wanting this for a long time, ever since it came out!! NARS duos are definitely a splurge, so I don’t buy very often unless it’s something I really want and know I will use again and again.  And this duo is sooooo gorgeous! Seriously the most gorgeous eyeshadows I have ever laid eyes on. 

Check out how PIGMENTED they are!! That is just with one DAB, yes a dab not even a swipe, I just gently dabbed my fingers!   After all the sheer Japanese eyeshadows, I really felt like something intensely pigmented haha, and NARS never disappoints.  These two browns are the most perfect browns ever, I can’t wait to use this!  Japanese cosmetics are cute and fun, but…they cannot compare to NARS!

Then I got a NARS lipgloss in Sweet Revenge, my first NARS lipgloss!

It’s described as “sheer grapefruit pink” on the website, I guess that’s what it looks like.  It is sheer, but also very pretty and surprisingly not at all sticky or gooey.  I like it!

Finally I got a Fresh lip gloss in Sugar Baby.  

I love Fresh!!  I’ve only tried some of their bath/body and skincare stuff but never tried their makeup line.  This lipgloss used to be $25 at Sephora but it’s now marked down to $18, so I think it’s a good deal because it contains a lot of product and it’s Fresh!  This is a pretty nude beige color with iridescent shimmers, also on the sheer side, non-sticky and very moisturizing.  

Swatches:

That’s my Sephora haul, good thing I had 15% off  I really wanted NARS Belle de Jour lipstick, it was really the most perfect nude lipstick I’ve ever tried, but I had to stop myself because I was already getting so many things, maybe next time…or maybe I can try to find a dupe for it.  

I also did a look with the MJ Majolook palette in BR788.  I used only the sponge applicator! It was weird not using any brushes, but I think these Japanese eyeshadows go on better with sponges since they are sheer. 

I used the cream shadow on top as a base, it really makes the colors more vibrant.

Haha as you can see I did not do a very good job of blending…it’s very hard to blend with sponge applicators.
