Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Blush

My apologies but I've been busy with having two jobs. I'll be back to normal and blogging more often hopefully soon.

I've had these blushes for a few months and I've been using them quite frequently. They are so gorgeous! I purchased them a few months back when Ulta was having their 21 days of beauty steals. I got both for $15 each which was a pretty amazing deal especially because they retail for $30 each.

My favorite out of the two that I purchased would have to be Something About Berry. It's the deepest out of the three available shades.

Out of the two that I have Something About Berry would be the more pigmented blush. They both have a shimmery sheen but Something About Berry has less shimmer and more pigmentation. Since there are three shades in this one blush if you wanted to you could pick up just one shade and apply that with a small blush brush.

The top shades is a mauve-y lilac shade that could work both as a blush or highlighter. The middle shade is a pinky champagne shade that would work perfectly for a hightlight. The bottom shade is a dark shade of pink and is very wearable as a blush on its own. All three shades swirled together makes a beautiful shade also.

The top and bottom shades seem to be the same shade and the middle shade is a light pinky shade. When swirled together the end result is a very shimmery golden peach with the slightest hint of pink.Very gorgeous but just a little too shimmery for my liking.

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.

REVIEW OF - Physicians Formula Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Blush in Natural

If you followed me on LUUUX then you know that I picked up the Physicians Formula Sexy Booster kit from Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. I have used this a few times and I honestly just don't like how it looks.

Here are individual swatches of the colors. The darker swatch on top is the color of the shoe and the lighter swatch on the bottom is the color surrounding the shoe. When swatched the colors do not seem too glittery but when actually applied its very glittery. I'm not feeling the blush right now but I noticed that after a couple of uses the glittery heel part disappeared and there wasn't as much glitter. I'm going to be giving this blush a few more tries just to see how it looks after the golden glitter heel completely disappears.

I didn't take a photo of this but the back has compartment with a blush brush which is really prickly. Behind the actual brush is a little mirror. I guess the packaging could be almost travel friendly if it wasn't so bulky. The packaging is cute however, I'm not a person who buys items solely on their packaging. Hopefully I will end up liking this blush after a few more uses. If I don't like it then I have not idea what I'm going to do.
