My most recent makeup purchase is the Victoria Jackson foundation duo in Light. I got this when they had the Ipsy deal where you pay for shipping and get the foundation for free. I honestly wish I had ordered two! They retail for $29.95, which is pretty steep for foundation in my opinion. However, this has become my HG foundation. It covers very well (probably about medium coverage) and matches my skin perfectly. I use the lighter color under my eyes and the darker color everywhere else, and then I blend them together to create a seamless finish. I know that not everyone who ordered this foundation loved it as much as I do, but it works very well for me and I wholly recommend it to anyone with fairly normal skin that isn't too oily.

I just purchased a few tarte eye products. Amazonian clay waterproof liner in black and the Amazonian clay waterproof cream eyeshadow in plum smoke, shimmering bronze, and shimmering moss. The liner goes on smooth and stays all day. I love the eyeshadows, the formula is really creamy and the colors are awesome for fall!
 


just got the Sephora inside JCP Makeup Must Haves kit. I LOVE it. It also has the Smashbox BB cream in light that's not pictured. Its such a good deal despite the BB cream not being in my shade.

 
My favorite Sephora.com most recent purchase: Anastasia Beverly Hills: Lavish
600
10 beautiful shades, double ended shadow brush, retractable black eye liner, mini brow pencil, and tweezers. I'm absolutely in love. The colors are gorgeous. They go on creamy smooth, build for a bolder pigment, and blend amazingly. *sigh* It was love at first sight.

 


Tarte blush in exposed

I was perusing the tarte blushes for a fall/winter shade and did not give this shade a second look. I am grateful to the Sephora associate who had introduced me to this blush. This shade does not look impressive in the pan. However, when the blush was applied to my cheeks, I fell in love with the color! This shade complements medium skin tones extremely well. It is matte, so it's appropriate for day or night-time wear. It is highly pigmented and lasts all day without re-application. Finally, I appreciate that it is free of parabens, triclosans and GMOs.

 


I purchased MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC40 few days ago and I have been loving it so far. I already own MAC Prolongwear Foundation, however, the Studio Fix Fluid gives an even higher coverage and stays put for hours and hours! Love it!

My most recent purchase was Makeup Forever Pro-Finish Powder foundation in 155. I absolutely love it. My face gets super oily and with this foundation my face stays shine free for most of the day. I have acne scars on my face and it does a great job at minimizing their appearance.
 
My newest favorite is a sample I bought from Darling Girl Cosmetics. It's an amazing green sparkly shadow and has become my favorite! I must buy a full size. This picture does it no justice. The shade is "On The Hunt". Overall, I just love DGC!

I originally received a sample of this and then had to go buy it. Love it! Keeps my makeup from sliding!
 


One of my recent purchases is the Tarte Gorgeous Getaways portable palette set, which I purchased at Ulta. 

My favorite thing about it is that it comes with four different palettes, like the one I pictured above.  You can switch out the one you want to wear that day and put it in the cute light gold compact case which I tried to show above. 

The set came with three Tarte lipglosses, but I gave those to my sister.  The packaging is nice, not flimsy, and sturdy enough to store the items.

Overall, I'm really happy with how portable this is!  I see myself getting a lot of use out of it.

 
I recently splurged and puchased myself Urban Decay's lipliner and revolution lipstick in the color 69 and I cannot say enough good things about these products. Here are what they look like:





and here is what they look like on:



This is easily the best red lipstick I have ever purchased. This is my first ever UD purchase and it will not be my last. I absolutely adore this lipstick and paired with the lipliner, it is the perfect red. Not only does it have great color payoff, but it is incredibly long-lasting and has a flawless matte finish. If you are in the market for an excellent lipstick, check out UD's revolution line! If you are put off by the price as I originally was, don't be! It is well worth the money.

 
Not technically makeup, but I'm totally obsessed with the new Coach Poppy Freesia Blossom fragrance.

So, I recently bought this:



And have been enjoying it!

But if you're looking for something even more makeup-y, I recently got some NYX babies and love them!!!



Both are in "Rust" and I have been LOVING this color (Especially for fall!). Aside from the pearl mania's god-awful packaging (which I can overlook because A)I got it for like, a buck. and B) I can transfer it to a different container, no biggie.) they're both awesome! The pencil is the same quality I've come to expect form owning "Milk" so all in all, I recommend!

 
My drugstore finds for a wonderful pink-neutral color

Revlon just bitten kissable lip balm in honey

Revlon colorburst lip butter in pink truffle

one day I will learn to do swatches....

honey on top,  pink truffle on bottom





 
I have wanted this for a long time!  Stila Stay All Day Liquid eyeliner in SNOW!!!  This stuff is AMAZING!!!! I swatched it on my hand----three days, three showers, and 20 hand washes later and I can still see it!!!! It is so creamy and its so easy to make fine, sharp, or thick lines!



 
Nothing fancy, but I wanted to share my love for NYX round lipsticks. I just hauled close to 20 during a recent Cherry Culture sale. This is one of the few formulas that doesn't feel drying on my lips. And I love the fact that I can experiment with loads of different colors without breaking the bank. Lately I've been loving the shade 'Iris' which is a frosty light peach. I wear it alone as a new take on the nude lip or layered to give a flat lipstick some dimension.



 
Still time to enter! One lucky person will win a $20 gift card!

Not sure if this counts or not but it makes me feel pretty and I love these products. Snow fairy, snow cake and star light bath melt.
