Collective Haul of all my Recent Small Hauls

No worries..I didn't buy all this stuff at once or on the same day, this is stuff I have bought over the past 2 months or so minus my ACW haul, which I have to gather together and post soon. Hope you like it and let me know if you have any questions.

I got the new UD shadow pencil in Morphine. These are suppose last all day, never crease or fade AND man do they live up to the claim! I really like these pencils and the color selection is gorgeous, I just wish they were not so expensive, at $20 a pop, I doubt I will buy another one (well..maybe just one more!). I also got UD Smog and Oil Slick liquid liner. I absolutely ADORE these liners and I hope to have all the colors soon!

UD Shadow Pencil in Morphine

UD liquid liner brush

Swatches: Morphine, Smog, Oil Slick

Morphine is soo pretty..I luv this purple color!! I used it in my Saturday WnW Looks

At CVS I got the  Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush and Bronzer, a pair of KISS perfect application lashes and a pair of the Revlon lashes. With these lashes, the glue is already on them and you should be able to just stick them on your lashes. Has anyone tried these yet? I will be trying them soon but I'm just curious.
I am so lash stupid..no matter what I do they will not stay on my, so I hope these will help me.


Happy Booster Bronzer


AND I did a full review on the Happy Booster Blush HERE

Then I B2M for Pink Nouveau Lipstick and I got Pink Cult from the Jeanius Collection, which is such a pretty matte pink color.
The PInk Cult blush is so gorgeous, it is sold out on-line but go to your store and get it if you can. It is defiantly going on my favorites list!

Another small MAC haul, I had a GC for this stuff and I B2M for the eyeshadow
MAC Red Brick- I can not wait to do a look with this color and espresso
Harmony Blush-Perfect contour color for me 

MAC Ravishing Lipstick-So pretty and perfect for spring!

MAC 138 Tapered Face Brush-Perfect contouring brush, expensive ($52 yikes!), but worth it! It contours and blends like a dream and is so soft with no fall out.

A small quick NYX haul..
I got the grow brow serum because I waxed off the top of my left brow by accident (stupid dripping wax!) like 2 months ago and it is still not growing back the way it should. I really hope it helps..I will review it for you in a month with results.
 Left to Right: Milani Infinite Liner, NYX Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Pink and NYX Liquid Crystal Liner in Crystal Pink-These are so great for the lower lashline
 I also got the NYX HD Foundation in 02 Soft Beige because 03 Natural is to dark for me, but as predicted, this is to light for me...BUT when I mix the two it works out perfect! Swatches of the mix are coming soon with a comparison of my MUFE 125

Oh and lastly..my new nail stuff!!
I got a Konad..I can't wait to play with it!!
You can get a Konad from wowsocool and if you use the coupon code wowsocool, you get $6.99 off a purchase a $30, which is like getting a free plate!
I got a starter kit and two plates. To learn more about the konad stamping you can check it out at Pumkincat210 Blog, she does a great job of explaining it!

My new polishes, left to right, Orly Old School Orange, China Glaze First Mate and Hey Sailor, Orly Gilded Coral, OPI Mini Katy Perry Collection.

BTW do you ladies want nail polish swatches? I have accumulated quite a few and I really would not mind at all..just LMK!


PHEW!! Thanks for letting me share my stuff with you all! ACW and a CLOTHING haul are coming up soon!

Have you tried any of this stuff? Let me know your thoughts :)

Urban Decay All Nighter Spray Review-With Before and After Pictures

I have heard a lot people asking about this product and I have had it for months (since it came out). So I thought I should do a review on it with some before and after pictures after a long day at work and what my thoughts on it are. The All Nighter Spray cost $29.00 for 4oz bottle. I bought it during their 30% off sale which they do a few times a year.
This is what Urban Decay says it will do:
This groundbreaking formula mists on, ensuring that your makeup won’t budge for 16 hours.All Nighter mist prevents loss of color, melting, sliding, caking, cracking, excess shine, fading blush, drooping eyeshadow and lip color disappearance. AND it’s formulated to resist moisture, so you can fearlessly sweat, cry, or get your Jacuzzi on... It’s the new final step to your makeup routine. Just a couple sprays on top of your makeup and you’re out the door.

What I say it does: I have had this spray for months now and I like it! It helps control my oil, my makeup does NOT melt off me no matter how hot is outside (and it has been 90+ here in CT), and my makeup does last longer without any touch ups. There is no funky smell to the spray, it feels great on the skin, and the spray dries on the skin very quickly


The downside: It does not last 16 hours. I mean, come on! Really UD! That is just an insane marketing ploy.While this product does help to control my oil, I still need to apply my powder at around 2-3pm, but really that is about it, my blush is still in place and looks good till around 5pm and that is when I feel like I need to reapply it, just it enhance the color a bit more


All in all: This spray helps me feel confident that throughout my work day, my makeup will stay in place and shine free (for the most part). If you are going out after work, I would bring a few things to help you refresh your makeup, as this spray will not keep you or your makeup feeling fresh for that long!
I would recommend this spray to anyone who wants the to feel confident that their makeup will not budge for at least 8 hours, if you are looking for your makeup to last longer than that, then this spray is not for you. I think it works well and since it only works for half the amount of time it promises to work, I think you should by it when UD has their 30% off sale. Hey, they should have a 50% off sale because it only works for half the hours, but 30% off is great too!!


Below are before and after pictures. The before picture was taken at work, at 8:10am, roughly one hour after I applied my makeup and the All Nighter Spray. The after picture was taken at 4:32pm, after I went outside in 90 degree heat for my lunch and stayed in my a/c building for the rest of the time, with my little heater on in my cubicle (because the a/c here is just to cold!!!) All I did for the after pic was reapply my lipstick and that was it because I wanted to show the full effect of the spray. Normally I will use powder at around 2 or 3pm to absorb some of my oil.

Boy... do I look tired there!! lol but you can see how the blush color looks  faded and I am little oily on my cheeks..but the makeup dose not look runny or smeary. Oh..and yeah..the lighting at my job is AW-FUL!
I hope this review has helped anyone who is interested in trying this product. Please let me know if you have any questions.
