#makeup haul

Collective haul of things I’ve bought recently

Total~ $2.5k

National Lipstick Day today, July 29. Ulta Beauty, of course, joined in not just with great discounts for lip products, but also with a crazy 14 piece gift with $95 purchase!

I'm so glad I placed my order in the morning, it's 4 PM at the moment of me making this post, and it's already sold out. $95 buy-in is quite steep, but I did have a pricier item that I wanted to buy for a long time now, so I took advantage of that. In return, we get 14 lippies of which 4 are drugstore full-sizes and other 10 are minis of midrange and luxury brands. So, a great set for trying out a wide range of brands without breaking bank.

However, what did I get for 95$ you ask? Here... peruse my order.

Yes, many lippies were 50% off, quality brands too, but I have so many lippies already! So I simply moved a few items from my Saved For Later list. In total, I got: - The Euphoria eyeshadow palette by Half Magic - the aforementioned long-coveted pricier item, it's been calling my name. And there was a 20% off coupon I could use for it! - A big box of Hero Mighty Patch - your gal breaks out a lot, so I use these bad boys a lot. - Milani Setting Spray with SPF 50 - should be really useful for reapplying sunscreen on heavy makeup days. There are spray sunscreens, yeah, but I wanted to try this one and see if it looks better. - L.A. Girl sparkling highlighter - I just needed something small-ish to get to $95. For sparkly looks, the Glitterpuck by Half Magic is probably the best, but it's so pricey! So I want to try a dupe and see if it gets the job done. In all fairness, Glitterpuck lasts forever... but it's w/e.

And Half Magic and Milani both had their own gifts with purchase! Can't wait to try purple mascara looks, and the blush brush will be useful as well.
