[CynthieLu]

I love how you showcased this haul @curlychiquita it all looks so fantastic.😍 

Enjoy your new items!

I think your Sonia G brush looks magnificent. It will be so handy to have and great for that new blush.😄

[curlychiquita]

Thank you, @CynthieLu! I'm excited for the brush with the blush. I like to have my makeup out and easy to find 

[Mellmars1185]

@curlychiquita Great haul! I am really interested in trying the Makeup by Mario Blush. I hope you enjoy your new items. Amy repurchases?

[curlychiquita]

@Mellmars1185 the Forget the Filler gloss is a repurchase but not in this color. I think it was @Loretta55 who posted a swatch and it looked so pretty!

Random hauls. Trying the new Sephora matte lips, BareMinerals Blush Highlighter, comparing new drops from WA, Chanel and RMS, and Credo assortment.

The new Sephora matte lips are classic matte. 14 red is a little more forgiving and creamier however and 26 a bit more patchy tho 27 is not. Once on they do blend decently but they are def a matte. I wish more of a semi -matte. The satin formula is good too but I prefer something in-between. Beautiful colors! 

The BareMinerals blush highlighter has a little bit of that color shift to it. It maybe emphasized my lines and pores a bit too but not too terribly.  It’s pretty and quite buttery soft but there are other good alternatives to it I feel like. 😊 Still a nice hybrid idea. 

It’s clearly the year of the tint! I think I could go on and on about the new WA drops! They’re gorgeous! I used alone, under tinted moisturizer and as a highlighter. Works well for all over too but they are def more oily and I prefer under or just as a dab over other products. No sparkles , just illumination. They don’t dry down completely tho quite well, with a bit of tack but ooh they’re sooo pretty!!  All shades too. Quick pic in store of all shades together to see differences plus mine.

The Chanel is a little bit tricky. Lol. It’s thicker, more matte, has the traditional Camellia floral scent. Is nice underneath makeup for a skin enhancement product. Slight slight sheen. Pink is neutral,  peachy- leaning. The added skincare helps make its’ case but I don’t think I’d reorder. Other worthy options.

WA is more of a citrusy floral scent and more oily and thinner. Not as oily as the Dewy Drops tho.

RMS SPF serum is in the middle with very neutral scent, soft dewy luminous look. Very good on its own too. I feel like RMS is quite underrated. So many good products.( I see many items or all are on sale on S. Not a good sign?! 😕) The new brow is really easy to use esp with the brush. Thought I didn’t need that little brush but I love the short density to it plus the other spoolie end is bonus. Looks dark but blends well and quite long-lasting. Good stuff. 

Iris & Romeo is new to me and I’ve been wanting to try it for awhile.  From Credo so it’s a good clean line. @itsfi reminded me of the promo so I was in! Thank you itsfi! 🥰 Do you like it too? The Rose blush has a slight shift to it that is just so pretty! Subtle but it’s there. Not sticky. The Weekend Tint SPF 50 is also very comfy and gives coverage so it can be used on its own. It blends well. Concealer is a bit drier than others but still gives good light to medium coverage and can be used all over. I used a bunch of eye cream to make it easier and it did cover my circles nicely . The Berry balm is a sheer tint but it smells delicious! Love this little guy and pretty long lasting! Trying the new LBR fragrances will be fun. Loved this little intro idea. Happy summer shopping guys! 🌞

Beautiful photos, @Sunnysmom !  Thank you for all of the swatches!  I'm blown away by these swatches...

[Sunnysmom]

Aww thank you @tsavorite you’re too kind! Did you spy some new stuff to try? The WA…so good! 

[tsavorite]

I'm very impressed with how the WA Illuminator Drops look, @Sunnysmom !   Does WA ever fail?

[Sunnysmom]

Pretty great record for sure @tsavorite ! ( I don’t love her Dewy Drops unless I’m super super dry but that’s about it I think!! Oops! ).  

[Buootiful]

Awesome Luxe hauls! @Sunnysmom  Oooh, looks like Peau de Rose will be great for winter and the other colors for the warm weather ❤️.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks so much @Buootiful , I hope so too! 💞

[Loretta55]

You hauled many gorgeous items @Sunnysmom. Those swatches look beautiful.

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you so much @Loretta55 ! We love our lippies! 🤗

[itsfi]

You’re all set for summer with these hauls @Sunnysmom. 😍 I like the Iris & Romeo SPF; haven’t had a chance to try the tint but it looks really pretty in your swatch. Bummer that the new SC lipsticks were not matte enough for your liking (though that makes me think I might like them 😆). 

[Sunnysmom]

Def true @itsfi I am! I think the Iris & Romeo will be super easy for quick makeup days. No I do like the matte lippies. I mentioned they are a bit too matte if anything for me. 😊 Maybe my word salad got in the way! 😆

[Tamara76]

I've been really curious about the Bare Minerals - Thanks for your honest thoughts @Sunnysmom !!!

[Sunnysmom]

Of course @Tamara76 ! Yup I’m a bit conflicted about it. It’s ok and applies nicely but I personally don’t love the goldish shift to it or sparkles I guess. So many similar products that I think I’ll reach for before it sadly. New Saie cream hybrid, Dior highlighters, Mario highlighter , Hermes, WA etc etc! I’m sure you have lots of favorites too! 💞

[Tamara76]

Yes! I feel like this summer is the complexion products era - especially blush! @Sunnysmom 

[CookieGirl1]

Love all of the swatches, @Sunnysmom. A lot of those look like perfect Fall shades. 

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @CookieGirl1 ! Of course I would pick the fall like shades! Messed up. 😆
