November 2025 Monthly Hauls!

Alright beauty enthusiasts..... Sale season has begun!  Lets see those sale purchases that are flooding in!

Here's my Ulta haul.

Perricone MD Photo-Brightening Moisturizer 

This is Mom's fave moisturizer.  I buy it for her.  It was on a better sale at Ulta than the direct website.

Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer (unscented)  So many on BIC love Touchland, but I have a feeling it's for the scent.  Ulta carries the unscented version.

DIOR Rouge Dior Ink Lip Liner (clear)  I have been buying UD Ozone (the lipliner) for years.  The last one I bought, the case was so hard and plasticity, I kept breaking it every time I tried to sharpen it.  I did a search and saw Dior has a clear lipliner (do you know how hard it is to find a clear lipliner?).  The reviews looked good, so cross your fingers.

I spent enough to save an additional $15.00 and get the sample bag.

@Titian06 Love to hear your thoughts on the liner! Mom and I like Touchland for how easy it is to spray and the fast dry down. 

[missjeanie]

@Titian06 Ahhh I didn't realize Touchland made an unscented version!  I love the scents, but for me it's how non sticky the sanitizer is that puts it as a love.  My SO however would prefer to not smell like mango for the next 10 minutes so I'll have to pick up some unscented at Ulta!!  Thanks for the tip!

@Titian06  Huh, I didn’t realize how few brands make clear lip liners anymore. MUFE used to make a great one. I could swear there was once a Sephora Collection one… and now I wonder if Kiko Milano still makes theirs. Anyway, I hope Dior’s works well for you!

If you use a clear liner mostly to prevent lipstick feathering/bleeding: you could try using MAC Prep + Prime Lip as a lip liner. That’s what I do when I need a clear liner. Any clear lip primer could work—heck, UD’s Ozone used to (might still be) marketed mostly as a lip primer. Just mentioning primer as an option in case the Dior liner doesn’t work out.

Thanks for mentioning the unscented Touchland!

@Titian06  crossing my fingers for you on the Touchland and Dior lip liner! My fiancé and I personally love Touchland because it doesn't leave a sticky residue the way some sanitizers do. The scent is a bonus, though.

Same @gonerogue , I find that the touchland also doesn't dry my hands out as much as a gel/alcohol base one.

First November haul! I've been purchasing less over the past couple of months but this month it's going out the window apparently lol

Ulta 20% off code + point purchase. I'm officially Diamond after this for the first time 😬

Thoughts, since I've had them for a couple of weeks

Spoiler

- I love the Swan palette. I think it's well curated and the one with the best assortment of shades out of all the ones released this year.
- The ND palette is good but I miss the topper shades. If you use only mattes, this is perfect, but I need sparkle. I've been supplementing with one of my (MANY) topper singles and the PT Duos. Idk if I would purchase it if I could go back.
- The ND foundation is nice but not revolutionary IMO. It's similar to my Dior Forever Hydra Nude. If you have dry skin, you'll probably like this.

UIta 5x multiplier for Diamond + $10 off $50

This is the shade Ribbons. It's gorgeous. Unlike most of the other shades, the sparkles are silver so it looks glossier without a gloss. Not terribly drying, which is a definite plus. I might get one more shade.

More LE Dior from Nordstrom

Spoiler

Dior Blush in Starry Mauve. I really love this shade. I'm so happy I bought it. It has a beautiful sheen.

Sephora @kohl's 20% off

The Maison Margiela was already 30% off so it was a great deal. This was the only store around me that had the PT sets and the SC liners in stock. It was an awesome (but expensive) surprise. These liners are so cool, it's a pity they're not permanent. I don't really want the PT glosses so those will probably get gifted.

Spoiler

Sephora 20% off

This liner brush is really good. I've been loving the PT duo as I knew I would. I need to try the Merit more.

PT Duo "In Your Dreams"

Merit Glace

Beautiful swatches! @makeitup305 

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 Those are beautiful!

[missjeanie]

@makeitup305 This is a beautiful haul!  I I love the variety of make up.  Those PT blushes really do look like great shades.

[anaaii]

i bought the swan palette this year and it’s my first hourglass product! i absolutely love it and something that i find so amazing is that i love every single shade and im lucky that they all work for me! 

[gonerogue]

@makeitup305  great haul! I hope you have the best time playing with everything this month 💛 Thank you for the Dior blush swatch, it is stunning! Hope to see it posted on the What Are You Wearing thread! 🙂

[makeitup305]

@gonerogue I definitely will, thanks!

[Titian06]

Great hauls, @makeitup305 ! 😍

[makeitup305]

thanks @Titian06 !

[curlychiquita]

Beautiful makeup, @makeitup305! I particularly love your swatches and descriptions of the Swan palette and the Patrick Ta duo. 

[makeitup305]

@curlychiquita thank you! Let me  know if you need swatches of the Swan palette, too. I forgot to add them. 

[danielledanielle]

I'm kind of glad you didn't post this earlier because a lot of this would've wandered into my cart 🥰🫠 @makeitup305 

I think you made a lot of solid choices, even though some restraint might have been lost 

[makeitup305]

@danielledanielle I thought the same with your haul lol 😂 I ended up ordering a few more things last minute to round out the challenge so those will make it on here eventually.  

[greeneyedgirl107]

@makeitup305 congratulations on making diamond!  And the hauls.   I got Dior LE Starry Night.
