@SportyGirly125, thank you. The yellow polish is on the fussy side, to be expected, but otherwise, the quality of the products match their presentation - they're lovely.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Oh wow both those look amazing on you! Great hauls!

[itsfi]

Awww, thank you @Samtian. I'm happy with the the two lippies - I'm thinking about picking up another shade from the Muzigae Mansion collection but, you know, another lipstick is not really something I need. Much like I don't need a backup of the Clinique Black Honey lilp oil. 😅  Clinique has a good thing going with its Black Honey products.

My husband brought in the mail and said, "Lady Gaga sent you something!" 😂 

Haus Labs direct has the cutest sets right now- for $5.95 (shipping charge,) you can choose sets of 3 samples of the HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica .

If you order a full sized bottle, you will owe nothing else.  If you don't choose to buy one, you will be charged $12 plus tax for the discovery set.  There are more details on the site.

Swatches are in the same order as the bottles are placed in the box.

110 Light looks the same as the card.  The others not so much.

@Ispend2much6  wow, that's a great deal! I have been wanting to try this foundation but am not sure exactly which shade would be right for me. I'll have to check out their site.

[Ispend2much6]

@caitbird  Just don't believe their foundation finder tool.  I'm not certain, but you look like you might have a match with the fair set.

[caitbird]

@Ispend2much6  thanks for the tip! I am pretty much always in the "fair" range with complexion products, so you are probably right.

[peculiarzmakeup]

Beautiful haul! That is too funny! Those shades are incredible, do you have a go to shade? Enjoy 😊 @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@peculiarzmakeup  Not yet!

@Ispend2much6, I love sets like these and am very happy to see Haus Labs offering them. Hope you find a great color match. 

[Ispend2much6]

@itsfi  Thank you, me too!

[lmaster]

That's a great idea @Ispend2much6 did you find a shade you like?

[Ispend2much6]

That's the tricky part @lmaster - not yet.

[CookieGirl1]

How are you liking the formula so far, @Ispend2much6 ?

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1  I do like the formula; it doesn't hurt that arnica (part of the formula,) is one of my very favorite ingredients.

[jaaayp]

This is an absolutely adorable set @Ispend2much6 !!! I love this foundation, I'm actually in the middle of panning it! Hope you love it too!

[missjeanie]

@Ispend2much6 Interesting set up on the sample bottles.  Do you think you'll get enough in each bottle to try out a few times?  Lol... Lady Gaga is sending you mail... I love that!

[Ispend2much6]

@missjeanie   Yes, definitely!  These are the same size as those from a previous Sephora promo. Not sure if CA got that one.

The bottles are about 1.5 in. b .5 in.

The cool shades almost seem more neutral than the neutral shades to me.  I thought this would make it easier to choose, but looks like a trip to the store is needed.

[missjeanie]

@Ispend2much6 I couldn't tell if it was just my screen making the cool look neutral and the neutral look warm?  I love the idea of this type of colour matching though.  What an innovative concept. 

[Ispend2much6]

@missjeanie  You aren't seeing things; that's exactly what I see.  I wonder if their shades are directed at  opposing shades of skin from their description to offset the skin and bring it to a more neutral place?

I just went to their foundation finder on site.  Sure enough, I am not in the "cool" undertone section of their color wheel, I am considered "warm," even though the description there matches every other company's definition of "cool."

They recommend shade 175 light neutral for me. "Light with peach undertones."  To counteract the rosy skin. Which I have as one of my samples.  I'll have to try it tomorrow.

[missjeanie]

@Ispend2much6 Interesting.  I'll be curious to hear how the opposite tone works out for you.  I can't say as I've ever tried that!
