March Haul Part 2: Sephora, Inglot, Mac, Beauty.com and Drugstore.com


Hi guys! Here's the long overdue second part of my March haul. Sorry to be posting this so late but I still made it before the end of the month nonetheless which is good :)

 If you have been following me for awhile now, you would know how much I love shopping especially online. And I know, you guys are probably thinking, "oh no, Rina is at it again with her crazy shopping spree"...lol, but just to be clear, I did not purchase all of these stuff at once. I did in fact buy these items over the course of two months and because most of it was coming from overseas, it also took some time to get to me. And I left these just sitting in the box for the last couple of weeks, until I could find the time to do this haul post.

First up is my Inglot purchase. This is my first ever eyeshadow palette from Inglot and may I just say to those of you who haven't come across their eyeshadows that these are super buttery and amazingly pigmented, it would be so hard not to fall in love with them. They have a wide range selection of shades and oh my goodness it was so hard to pick which one to get! But eventually, I opted for colours that are wearable and I would happily wear on an everyday basis.


See included swatches below..


The next products that I got that I am so excited to share with guys is my purchase from Beauty.com. I have been wanting to get these in so long and I was so happy when it's finally arrived!

URBAN DECAY STARDUST SPARKLING LIP GLOSS

I bought shades, Glitter Rock and Andromeda. Ahh my excitement level is sky high. I cannot stress enough how gorgeous these lip glosses are! And I LOVE the packaging!! 

By the way, these were limited edition so I'm not sure if these are still available in stores/online. 


TARTE AMAZONIAN CLAY BLUSH IN EXPOSED
TARTE SMOOTH OPERATOR FINISHING POWDER

To be honest, I never really took interest in Tarte cosmetics before until Jen from From Head to Toe started raving about these two products. And I was sold as soon as I saw how amazing these looked on her. I am yet to try these but once I have, I'll let you guys know what I think.


A workmate of mine recently went on a trip to New York so I asked her to get me a couple of things from Sephora whilst she was there. Here's what I got..


BENEFIT 'THEY'RE REAL' MASCARA

I've heard great things about this mascara and I'm looking forward to trying it.


URBAN DECAY 'FLASH' EYESHADOW

I love the packaging and the colour is beautiful. I wish my camera can pick up the true colour in the photo though. It actually looks a lot more vibrant purple in real life which is a shame because I'd love to show you guys how stunning the colour really is!

BENEFIT HOOLA BRONZER


All of the MAC purchases I made were from the maccosmetics.com website except for the Viva Glam Nicki which I bought from my local Mac store. I was not intending to buy it but I gave into temptation when my cousin Joanne from Urhappybunnie raved about it so much that she even made an amazing recreation of Nicki's look featuring this lipstick. 

Mac Lipsticks from left to right: Viva Glam VI, Viva Glam Nicki, Shy Girl, Please Me


Mac blushes from left to right: Gentle (Mineralise blush), Dollymix, Breeze

I also re-purchased my fave eye liner, Smolder.


Last but not the least are my purchases from drugstore.com. Revlon lip butters are still not readily available on Australian shelves so I had to order it online from US. I can't tell you guys how happy I am to finally own a few of these! Lol. And because US prices are a lot cheaper, I thought I might as well re-purchase a few of the old items that I like and save myself quite a bit of money instead of buying it here later on.

L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara
Milani Liquif'eye eye liner in Black 
Milani Liquif'eye eye liner in Brown
L'oreal Extra Intense cream eye liner pencil
Maybelline Master Drama Eye Studio pencil


L'oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Saucy Mauve
L'oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Primrose
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Haute
Revlon Color Burst Lipstick in Soft Nude


Revlon Lip Butters: Berry Smoothie, Lollipop, Cotton Candy
Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch


Wet N Wild icon eyeshadow in Brulee
Wet N Wild icon eyeshadow in Nutty
Wet N Wild Mega Sparkle Confetti in White Icing
Wet N Wild Mega Sparkle Confetti in Lilac Frosting





And that's about it for this month's haul. Hope you guys liked what I shared and if you want more details/info on any of the products above, please let me know down the comment section below.

FOTD: St. Patrick's Day "Keen As a Bean For Green" Eye Makeup

Going on a bender this weekend to celebrate St. Patrick's Day? Well I'm not, but I'm still in a festive mood and want to get in to the St. Paddy's spirit, so I thought what better time to blow the dust off those neglected green eyeshadows of mine and have a little play or two with my long lost friends. And after searching for all the green eyeshadows that are quietly stashed in my makeup storage, it occurred to me how much I have that are crying out for love and attention. I just don't find myself reaching out for a green eyeshadow on a regular basis. But I will however attempt to use them more often in the future as they are indeed beautiful :)

As it was already late in the afternoon, I did a rush job of putting on my makeup so I could use the natural light and take photos before it goes dark. I don't have my regular camera with me at the moment so 'Instagram' pics will have to suffice for now. Anyways, here's how my little experimenting turned out... 

Ahhh I wish I took my time doing my brows though! LOL. Sorry guys! 

EYESHADOWS USED



Urban Decay Kush (all over lid colour) - a metallic bright medium (almost lime) green colour with a hint of silver shimmer 
Urban Decay Graffiti (all over lid colour on top of Kush and lower lash line colour) - a metallic sheen vibrant grass green colour
Urban Decay Loaded (outer corner and crease colour) - a metallic sheen deep forest green colour. Very dark that it almost comes off black
Inglot #57 Loose Pigment (lower lash line) - dark jade green colour
Urban Decay Money (inner corner and tear duct) - silvery pale green colour with a lot of shimmer

I must admit, this eye makeup is not for everyday wear. It looks toned down in the photos but it is in-your-face bright, daring and screams 'wowzaa' in real life. Nevertheless, I had so much fun creating this and I kinda like it. I think this look will come handy one day when I feel like wearing bold colours at night or when I'm due to attend another costume/dress up party :D 

Now that I re-discovered my other green eyeshadows, I'll endeavour to make a couple more looks over the next few days to give tribute to St. Patrick's Day.


By the way BlogLoveTherapy is hosting another blog hop. It is really fun to be a part of and a great way to discover other blogs and make new friends. If you'd like to participate, check out her blog soon as the hop ends in two days. 


HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEKEND EVERYONE!
