The highlight of the last couple of weeks was getting a 20% off coupon from Ulta, and it was one of the coupons that applied to your entire purchase. It even included prestige brands, at 10% off. But hey, I will take it. Since I have been really busy and stressed as of late, I figured why not treat myself to some new goodies? I only purchased four things, but I am really excited about them.
The first thing I went for was the Lorac Pro Palette 2. I kept telling myself that I would not get this one. But the lovely, cool shades were way too tempting. $42 sounds like an insane amount to spend on eyeshadow, but when you consider the amazing quality (Lorac has the best shadows around) and the number of shadows (8 matte, 8 shimmer), plus the travel size primer, it is actually not too bad. I am feeling pretty lucky right now because I got the last one. =) I included a few swatches just so you can see the amazing pigment and quality.
After snatching the Pro Palette 2 up, I made a bee line for the nail polish. I have been lusting after O.P.I's new Mustang Collection. For one, I do love mustangs. And secondly, I adore the shade name "Angel With a Leadfoot." Normally I don't like white polish, but this one looks stunning. Plus Angel With a Leadfoot is a good description of myself. But back to the haul. They were sold out of that shade (UGH!!!!!), so I got another shade that I have been wanting from their Coca Cola collection: Today I Accomplished Zero, also an awesome name. It a lovely, edgy shade: black with red glitter. Not very summery, but on the other hand, I am ready for the more moody fall shades. I also picked up Zoya's Muse, which is a stunning, shimmering mermaid blue.
Lastly, I finally bit the bullet and got Benefit's They're Real Push Up Liner. I have read so many bad reviews, but I am stubborn and very curious. I just want to try it for myself and see what happens. Maybe I will be the crazy blogger that falls in love with it.
I will be trying these products out in the coming days and I will let you know what I think. What have you hauled recently?
