Going to try them and take selfies now; best way to see how they look, I think. @Sunnysmom

@Ispend2much6 those shades are perfect!!

[Ispend2much6]

@lmaster   We shall see; haven't tried them yet, but they do look nice on my hand.  Maybe I should just wear them that way. haha

[lmaster]

@Ispend2much6 I think they will look fabulous!!

@Ispend2much6 Great MAC haul.

@SportyGirly125  Thank you!  I don't know what took me so long to discover MAC's lipsticks, but I'm glad I did.

A few of my hauls from earlier this month:

Victoria Beckham Beauty (direct): I picked up 3 of her 4 new lipstick shades. 

VBB lipstick swatches:

Target: I really just went in to pick up the makeup blenders... 😆 I'm super impressed with the eyeshadows - they apply so smoothly and the pigmentation is outstanding! 

Swatches of the Lip Bar Eyeshadow Palette (Fair-y Princess):

Spoiler

Bouquet swiped 2x. All other shadows were one pass - these are beautifully pigmented!

Sephora (online and in store): 

Lippie Swatches:

The goodies from the Sephora Collection were purchased in store during the "buy more, save more" promotion. The very kind cast member threw in the sample of the SEPHORA COLLECTION Clear Long-Lasting Brow Gel 0.16 oz/ 5mL. SEPHORA COLLECTION #LIPSTORIES Lip Balm Date Prep is a repeated repurchase - this may be my 5th or 6th tube. I picked up the SEPHORA COLLECTION Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick 119 Bubble Bath after receiving another shade as part of the generous National Lipstick Day gratis. The new wash off masks looked interesting so I decided to pick up the SEPHORA COLLECTION Vitamin Smoothie Mask Matcha + Vitamin H mask during the promotion.

Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots are one of those purchases that I would love to never need to make again but until I no longer breakout, these dots will be a staple in skincare library. I love the original Briogeo honey bear hair mask and wanted to give the new, limited editionBriogeo Vegan Apple Honey Deep Conditioning Hair Mask for Dry + Damaged Hair 8 oz/ 236 mL a try. It's fine, but it's not the original. I did a more in depth comparison on the mask thread for anyone interested - https://community.sephora.com/t5/Skincare-Aware/Mask-of-the-Week-Challenge/m-p/5936933/highlight/true#M198709


These are photographing much more plum / purple than they appear in real life.

The VB lipsticks are gorgeous! I happened to wear Pose today, and now I want to buy some of the new ones you purchased. @itsfi 

[itsfi]

The new colors are really pretty @curlychiquita. They fill in some gaps in the original release nicely. Would highly recommend. ♥️

@itsfi ,

Thanks for all the helpful swatches!  They are beautiful! 

I love your roses!  🌹

[itsfi]

@tsavorite, thank you! I love freshly cut flowers. 🥰 The reddish orange of the roses really brighten up the room! 🌹 

[CookieGirl1]

Great haul, @itsfi!  Out of curiosity, does the SEPHORA COLLECTION #LIPSTORIES Lip Balm Date Prep have any kind of scent?

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, I don’t pick up any scent with the lipstories lip balm. 

[Sunnysmom]

Beautiful selections @itsfi all of it. The Lip Bars look really nice. So glad you’re loving the VBB lippies! So comfy right?! 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, thank you! The VBB lippies go on and wear beautifully. ♥️ Love ‘em! 

[lmaster]

Wow!! The eyeshadow is gorgeous! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, the pigment on these shadows are amazing! 😍 They’re velvety smooth too.  Very pleased with the palette! 

[Ispend2much6]

@itsfi  Wow, this is a great haul!  Seriously have to consider the VB lipsticks.

[itsfi]

@Ispend2much6, thank you! 😃 I’ve been happy with all my VBB lipsticks. Net-a-Porter and Violet Grey occasionally have sales on her products. Violet Grey currently has 15% off for new customers.

[Ispend2much6]

@itsfi  I know I will always find lippies that I would like from your hauls (no pressure!)
