MAC, Sephora and The Body Shop Haul

2013 is not off to a good start for my wallet as you can see from the title of this post. lol. While I'm not on a "no buy" ban, I've still been telling myself to not buy as much makeup unless I really need it. But of course, I couldn't resist and purchased these items over the holidays. Even though I've been bad, I'm so excited to share with you gals my new acquisitions!

Sephora and Essie Haul

Hello lovely people!

I've had a stressful week at work so I decided to go to the mall yesterday and indulge in some retail therapy by visiting Sephora, Walmart and Winners.

Here are the items that I picked up!

From Sephora

Too Faced Prime and Poreless Pure Oil-Free Skin Smoothing Face Primer for Sensitive Skin. 

Price: $38.00 CAD

Whew! That was a long product name! Hehe. I haven't read much reviews about this product from beauty blogs as its fairly new still but I'm really excited to try this out for my oily skin. 

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

Price: $24.00 CAD

I have been perfectly happy with my E.L.F. Eyelid Primer for the past few months but when I started wearing makeup for longer hours because of work I noticed that after about 8 hours my eyeshadow creased. I decided to try this out and see if this product is worth the hype.

Benefit 'How To Look The Best At Everything' Set

Price: $36.00 CAD

I have been lemming for Benefit products ever since I got into makeup but their prices are not really budget friendly. So when I saw this set on Sephora's website I decided that I had to have it! This set includes; the POREfessional, Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation, Boi-ing Concealer in shades 03 and 04, and Hello Flawless Powder.

Benefit 'Go Tropicoral' Set

Price: $32.00 CAD

This is another makeup set from Benefit that I was really excited about. It includes; mini Chacha tint, mini High Beam, Coralista Powder Blush sample size, and Coralista lip gloss sample size.

From Walmart

Essie Nail Polish in Penny Talk

Price: $8.96 CAD

This shade is included in their Mirror Metallics Collection that recently came out. Its described as "an authentic copper metallic" 

Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers

Price: $8.96 CAD

I think this shade is in their permanent range which is described as "classic pale pink with a sheer finish"

Essie Nail Polish in Eternal Optimist

Price: $8.96 CAD

This may be in the permanent range as well and it described as "a spiced tea rose with a dash of cream"

From Winners

Essie Summer Collection Mini Set

Price: $12.99 CAD

This mini set includes shades in Bikini So Teeny, Mojito Madness, Off the Shoulder, and Fear or Desire
