Haul: Hautelook & L'OCCITANE

One of my favorite things to read on blogs or watch on youtube are HAULS! I love seeing what everyone gets so yes I know I post a lot of hauls myself. Anyways I made two Hautelook orders a few weeks back and they finally got here. I also made a quick order on L'OCCITANE a few days ago too so heres my haul.

Hautelook Order 1 - Laura Geller:
My first order that came in was from Laura Geller which I purchased last month on the 24th and it just got to me Wednesday. It took kind of long but I think it is totally worth the wait especially becasue of the prices they're being sold at on Hautelook.

This is the first time I received a box from Hautelook packaged like this so I took photos. Each individual item was in its own little white baggie. When I dumped the contents out it looked like all they did was throw the products in and then stick this piece of tissue paper with the Hautelook logo on it and then tapped it up. Good think nothing was broken or I would have been pretty upset.

Back: Berry Beautiful Set

Front: Balance-N-Brighten & Blush-N-Brighten

First item I'm super happy about is the Balance-N-Brighten Foundation original priced at $30. I've been debating about purchasing this but when I saw it on Hautelook for only $17.50 it was such an amazing steal I could not resist.

Second item was the Blush-N-Brighten in Tropic Hues also originally priced at $30. On Hautelook it was basically half off so I picked myself up this gorgeous blush. I didn't take a photo of the swatch but it does have a slight sheen to it. No glitter but a sheen.

The last item I purchased is actually a set in Berry Beautiful. I am not sure how much this set goes for but it was on Hautelook for only $20. The Blush-N-Brighten is in the shade Sateen Subtle Berry and is full size which retails $30 already so this set at only $20 is a deal. I don't think anyone could just pass this up if they love Laura Geller like I do.

 The Baked Eye Pie Shadow Trio is in the shade Blueberry Muffin. I think its kind of silly the way Laura Geller named her products but it is different and really stands out at the same time.

Hautelook Order 2 - theBalm:
I made my second purchase on the 4th of this month and I received it on Saturday. Two days after I received my Laura Geller order so shipping time is different for every order/brand. I wasn't even going to order from theBalm but noticed they had a limited edition palette. If I was going to purchase the palette I might as well purchase a few other items I've been wanting to try.

This order was packaged even weirder than my Laura Geller order as each item was individually wrapped. In the past they would just put the lot together and wrap it all with the same piece of tissue. I guess too many items were breaking during shipment so they started wrapping them individually to keep the items tighter thus not breaking.

This palette here is the Limited Editon Shady Lady palette that I had to get. It's all neutrals but I don't think anyone could ever have enough neutral shades. It has some similar names from the previous Shady Ladies but they aren't the same colors.

Since I've been obsessed with matte shades of everything I purchased DownBoy and Fratboy, both being blush/shadows. Downboy is a brighter pink while FratBoy is a redder pink shade.

That's all I purchased from Hautelook. If you don't know what hautelook is I will leave a link so you can go check out there amazing sales. HAUTELOOK WEBSITE: www.hautelook.com


Now on to my L'OOCITANE order. It's actually a very small order but I thought I would share since I'm already posting a haul. I hade a code for a free Creme Divine mini and 20% off my order so I picked up two of their hand creams which I hear a lot about. I picked up the 30ml Dry Skin Hand Cream and the 30ml Honey Hand Cream.

And....that pretty much wraps up my haul. Hope you enjoyed this quick haul and I'll see you guys in a later post.

HAUL: Big Lots Random Awesomeness

I went to my local Big Lots today. Which is funny because I rarely go there but I found such amazing deals that I could not pass up.

 

First off, I have to say that I was the most excited about these babies. They were on sale for $2.00 each which I think is a total steal. On walmart.com they are about $4 to $5 but not in stock. I did find on drugstore.com that they are $7.99 and in stock. I'm not sure if all of these shades are available but here they are.

L to R: Temptress, Berry Haute, Wink for Pink, Blackberry, Mauvy Night, Wild Orchid

 

 

L to R: Wild Orchid, Berry Haute, Blackberry

**NOTE: Blackberry isn't as red as pictured. Its actually a brick red but keeps coming off bright.**

 

L to R: Mauvy Night, Wink for Pink, Temptress

 

I also found these China Glaze Crackle Glaze Metals polishes. They were all on sale for $1.80 each so I really couldn't just pass up this deal being that a bottle of China Glaze goes for about $8.

 

 

L to R: Cracked Medallion, Platinum Pieces, Latticed Lilac, Oxidized Aqua

These last two deals I was completely blown away by. First is the Soho Beauty Blush Brush. It retails for almost $15. I got it for only $4 which is a major steal. The last item I purchased is the Physicians Formula 100% Natural Origin Bronzer in Peachy Glow Bronze retailed at about $14. My purchase price was $4.50.

 

 

 

My number one reason why I love Big Lots and go to it even though the customer service can sometimes be a pain in my butt is because you can and will always find amazing deals. Thanks for reading my post.

 

*FUN FACTS*

I haven't blogged yes, I know this. We had a random storm come in while my family and I were out and messed up my computer and my router. We just got our router and it took the technition a week to "fix" our computer. He replaced some computer parts but didn't reboot the computer so he thought it was still broken until my husband came home and rebooted it himself. So yes, now our computer is up and running and I have internet again.
