Haul Part 2

[bananachoox3]

I decided to make a part 2 to the previous thread since that thread is now way too long to look through.  Can you believe over 17,000 views, over 500 replies, 77 people, 149 photos, and 861 hearts in one thread? We love hauls.  

I did a haul today, what a surprise. Mostly from Sephora and a bit from Ulta.

Ulta:

Stila In Natural Palette for $15! It comes with 6 eye shadows, 1 bronzer, and 1 highlighter. Pretty good deal for a good product that retail at $73. Plus I got a mini Stila Stay All Day Mascara with any Stila purchase.

Ecotools Deluxe Fan Brush

Real Technique Setting Brush

Nicole by OPI in Selena.

Sephora:

Benefit 15 hour primer. Really wanted to try this.

Boscia Blotting Sheets

Illamasqua Hydra Gel. I wanted to try this as well since I heard its a gel moisturizer/primer

Urban Decay Naked Basic

Dior Addict Lip Glow

Dior Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond

Rosebud Salve Lip Balm, brought this since I couldn't find Dior Creme De Rose.

Samples:

Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil

Korres Wild Rose Cream

I also got to test Marc Jacobs New perfume in Honey. OMG AMAZING. I love the smell of it. Doesn't smell like honey to me. Smells like honeydew to me lol.

From where did you get that Caudalie kit? I'm not seeing this exact one on Sephora's site, only on Caudalie's. I need it in my life.

[starletta8]

I bought it in-store at Sephora.

Now, this is a super duper awesome Sephora that just re-opened within the last 6 weeks or so.  I noticed a couple of "online only" products there, like this: www.sephora.com/super-stars-beauty-essentials-P379411?skuId=1521830

They were smart- it was beside the Beauty Elixir.

[starletta8]

I basically bought it just to try the Beauty Elixir (wow) and because it had a lip balm.  I'm legitimately running low on lip balm (amazing!)

ETA: I've never tried this brand before but people seem to like it....?

[ChicDabbler]

I'm sooooo addicted to Caudalie Beauty Elixir! I saw that kit and was thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to get it, except I already got an unused elixir, oil and did not like the cleansing water/lip balm when I tried it.

[starletta8]

I loved the AmorePacific spray from the Nordstrom beauty trend show this spring, so I thought the Beauty Elixir would be a budget compromise.

We'll see... I'm actually venturing out of the brands I know and love. For me, that's huge!

[starletta8]

Admittedly, I'm unsure about the oil.

However, if I use the elixir, lip balm, hand creme, and cleansing water (I'm almost out of Laura Mercier samples- ack!), it'll be money well spent.

I love Caudalie! Their serum feels so nice on the skin! One of the associates in Sephora told me that its what Brad and Angelina use. And I've been eyeing down that Fresh Peaches with Cream like nobodies business! Unfortunately I'm on no buy July and I have way too many body products to justify another at the moment *sigh*

[jellybean917]

I'm a huge Caudalie fan! I just picked up a few items from the brand in my last order (okay, I placed 2 3 orders), which will hopefully arrive soon. I didn't know Brad and Angelina use Caudalie though! They look amazing. <3

[starletta8]

@wendyomgwar- I've been hoarding the last few dregs in my Fresh Peaches with Cream like nobody's business, so this made me so happy!

[wendyomgwar]

Don't tell me that! Lol

And yea, I didn't know either it didn't make me want to buy everything but its just one of those tidbits that I''m like oh interesting! Haha

[poshified]

How have I not smell Fresh Peaches and Cream?!

[crayzeeRN]

Oooohh Starletta you must let me know how you like NARS Niagara, it is at the top of my to-buy list!! Love the haul

[starletta8]

I like NARS Niagara, but I don't love it.  I have super pigmented lips, and the color sort of dies out on them.

[crayzeeRN]

Hmmm, ok. I'll definitely try swatching this in store before buying then! Thank you for your honest opinion!

[starletta8]

When I say I have super pigmented lips, Clinique Chunkiest Chili Chubby Stick Intense looks good on me because it's only a little darker than my own lips- so I fight lighter lip colors. it's beautiful though.

[latinadiva]

Woah woah hold the phone lol you mean to tell me that if you show them online that it says the store has blah blah product, they have to sell it to you if they physically have it?? That happens to me constantly!! I just went Friday to my location because it said they had the exact same mascara and as per usual it wasn't out. That has happened to me a few times. It's not the end of the world, but not ideal to go there to find out they don't have it out. 

[mafan]

I suppose it depends on the store, but my stores are pretty good about going and looking.  I went to the store to get the Jasmine mirror when the locator said it was in stock.  They didn't have it out but went and looked and then asked around.  They said because it said they had it they would sell it to me.  (They didn't have their display yet, but I think it went up a couple of days later.)  And another store was FABULOUS about looking for the Diesel Loverdose rollerball that was in the Sephora Favorites set.  They'd pulled it from their shelves but knew that they had it in back, so they sent someone back to look and they found it for me and I was able to redeem my coupon. 

If your store isn't crazy and the sales people are reasonable, ask them.  I've always had them be good and check for things for me.  (And yes, I've called stores that last something in stock and had them go and physically get it for me and hold it until I can get there.  Most stores are pretty helpful.)

[starletta8]

It depends on the store. They just didn't have the product out yet- and I happened across a cast member who was curious about it, too.
