HAULS: November 2016

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this month's haul is much bigger than usual. I know I blew a whole lot of money this month. My bank account is crying but but...I just love and want and have to have these eyeshadow palettes! Blame YouTube XD.

OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Intense Moisturising Treatment

OGX Thick & Full Biotin & Collagen Weightless Healing Oil Treatment - So far I'm very impressed by this. I think the combination of oil & collagen is really good for my hair.

INNISFREE Green Tea Fresh Skin - I was so confused. All this while I thought this was a toner, but this product is called a 'skin'? I heard they're two different products in K-skincare speak. The website uses the term skin and toner interchangeably. Maybe skin is another term for a hydrating toner (the Asian concept of toner), as opposed to the Western cleansing/astringent toner?

 INNISFREE Green Tea Fresh Essence - hydrates and nourishes while controlling sebum.

 INNISFREE Skin Clinic Mask in Peptide and BHA

 INNISFREE The Green Tea Seed Special Kit - a deluxe sample set that I got because they had a promotion which gave out this set if I spent over $50 in a single purchase. It consists of: serum, cream and eye cream.  I'm currently using the eye cream.

INNISFREE Jeju volcanic pore scrub foam

BOURJOIS Contour Edition Lip Pencil in 07 Cherry - I was looking for a dark red lip pencil and I swatched this in store and fell in love with it right away; it was so pigmented, smooth and creamy. Far better than the MAC lip pencil I used to use years ago (I don't use a lot of lip pencils so that's the only point of reference I have).

 

BECCA Ever Matte Poreless Priming Perfector - I was so chuffed that this arrived just in time just as my MUFE mattifying primer is about to run out! Heard amazing things about this, and as it's bought on Black Friday it's a much better value than the MUFE primer as well.

AUSTRALIS Velourlips in Mel-burn - I guess we all need a black lipstick in our collection these days (why oh why weren't they as ubiquitous when I was in my goth days!? HMPH)...but I didn't find it to be black enough so I bought the NYX black lip liner to help with it, which is the next entry:

 NYX Suede Matte Lip Liner in Alien

THE FACE SHOP The Solution Face Masks in Soothing, Hydrating, Nourishing, Brightening and Pore Care.

 

THE FACE SHOP The Therapy First Essence - my mum is a VIP member of The Face Shop and was really selling this to me. She was even kind enough to buy this for me as well. She really convinced me to buy it saying that it's good and putting this on makes everything else go on really smoothly after. This first essence comes with a pack of cotton pads that are embedded with find jade particles that "act as a mild exfoliant to leave to skin clean and refined." Apparently they work synergistically if used together.

THE FACE SHOP The Therapy deluxe sample set - came with the purchase because my mum bought a lot of other stuff too! Set includes, from left to right: first essence, cream and foaming cleanser.

NOW comes the good part! :) My Sephora Black Friday haul!

TOO FACED Natural Matte palette

TOO FACED Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette

 KAT VON D Shade & Light Eye Contour palette

URBAN DECAY Naked Ultimate Basics

TARTE Tartelette palette

TARTE Tartelette In Bloom palette

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Modern Renaissance palette. This isn't from Sephora, and it's my most coveted purchase this month. It was out of stock for a long time and was SO incredibly hard to get. I bought this from a local online shop immediately as I was notified of it being restocked, and in 45 minutes it was out of stock again!

 And here it is all together! :D :D :D Aren't they just SO beautiful? :D
