Hi sweet @curlychiquita ! Thank you! It’s fun to try new stuff especially in mini form too! 🤗🥰 

[lmaster]

Those swatches are stunning @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

They’re vibrant and fun @lmaster ! 💞

[Buootiful]

Thanks for the swatches, I was looking at the Chanel one I think between that and the purple. How does it stay on the lids. Do you have oily lids? @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

The shades are all really pretty @Buootiful . I wouldn’t say my eyes are very oily no , pretty normal but I also use a creamy base shadow then a powder shadow before I apply these. That way they stay quite well. I really also just use a very thin line for the aqua shade so I think that helps too. But honestly it does stay for a bunch of hours if over a powder shadow. When I use my other shades of them I do the same thing, over a powder. If using alone no they wouldn’t stay very long even on my eyelids. Love to hear if you pick them up!

@Sunnysmom I don't think that I've heard much feedback on the ILIA Lightshift Weightless Silky Cream Highlighter with 12-hour Wear yet but it looks pretty.

[Sunnysmom]

It feels very light and natural @CookieGirl1 . I’m not sure about the 12 hour part but it’s been pretty humid and hot here so I don’t think it’s a fair test yet! I will see in some more normal weather but I do really like the soft illuminated finish it has and it’s also really smooth. Not sticky a bit.  All shades looked very wearable as well. 

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom I was actually initially interested in the corresponding bronzers but after swatching them I changed my mind.  They seem to have light pigmentation with a LOT of glow.  The highlights look much prettier.

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @CookieGirl1 . I was surprised at how glowy the bronzers are. Ironic how the highlighters seem to have less! 

[Samtian]

@Sunnysmom Beautiful hauls and swatches, but I expected nothing less 😄 and I'll take some tomatoes. I really want to grow some. 

[Sunnysmom]

I learn from you @Samtian , thank you ! 🤗🥰 We have had limited success but for some reason this year they went nuts! I think the tips from the Armstrong’s folks really helped too! We just have about 4 different kinds in big pots. You can do it!

Beautiful haul, seeing your pictures always lights up my day so I’m sure your haul is lighting yours up too! Love the lippie products you chose, your have an amazing way of creating the most magical collection that bag is so cute! Which one did you open first I’m so curious 🧐 @Sunnysmom 💄❤️

[Sunnysmom]

Aww thanks so much @peculiarzmakeup ! 🥰 I’m such an easy mark for cute bags, love them! I tried the Clinique lip in Bold first! It’s a really beautiful saturated matte. Highly recommend these! The minis included in the GWP are so nice to try too! 💞

[peculiarzmakeup]

That sounds amazing 🤩 I’ll definatley check it out 🙂 @Sunnysmom 

[CynthieLu]

Wow, this is an awesome haul 🤩 You pick the most pretty red lippies! Sorry to hear a few arrived broken to you. 💙

I got the same sample pack from Orbie (I do wish this sleeve had included the Mask as well 😉) It was surprisingly lovely. 💛 Your right! It is pretty great to get too try these things in a sample first. How else are we going to discover them? 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  So pretty!  I had Ulta points to spend, and had that same Chanel blush in my cart when it went OOS.  I may have shed a tear or two...

[Sunnysmom]

Oh did it @Ispend2much6 ? It’s still available elsewhere but I get it with the points. That’s a lot of points! Lol To be honest it’s very pretty but I prefer the holiday blush to this one. The highlighter has an iridescent shift if you love that but the others are just as good plus a full pan. Imo. The highlighter reminds me of White Opal a bit if you have that. Despair not. Lol. Plus all the new blush coming! 😭

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  That's good info!  And yes I have the White Opal one.  I really wanted it for the blush shade, as it's a purplish berry and sheer.  I'll keep stalking Ulta for awhile to see if it's replenished.

[Sunnysmom]

I hope so for you as well @Ispend2much6 ! Did you get the winter blush in Mauve? It’s kind of a purpley berry too once on! Maybe not as much as you want tho? 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  I tried it but it was too warm.    I need a good discount!!

[cianni]

@Sunnysmom That’s so funny you mention the tomatoes - mine are growing like crazy this year too! Same goes with the peppers! So many hot peppers and I don’t know what to do with them all!
