Ahh yes my ever so trusty eyeliner. Eyeliner is my best friend. I have giant blue eyes (it's true) but they are bit down-turned so eyeliner creates the illusion that I don't have big sad puppy eyes all the time. To say the least I like to pack on the eyeliner (I do a kind of cat-eye now) and this is my all time FAV! 

When I first got into make-up, as in when I first had a complete turn-around makeover I was introduced to Stila's smudge stick in Purple Tang. Yep, I originally wore purple eyeliner on a daily basis. Don't call me crazy though- with dark brown hair/eyebrows and blue eyes the purple looks black while bringing attention to my blue eyes. Although when I would wear a purple dress you can tell. True story: a colleague of mine stopped me once (when I was wearing a purple sun dress) and said the purple made my eyeliner look purple... "uh it IS purple" I said. Her response? "Oh, you match your liner to your outfit?" "No, I wear this everyday".... "No, you don't." This went on quite a while and she never actually accepted my truth. 

Anyway, I switched to black since the purple tang has some glitter in it and sometimes it would stick out- I still have it in purple tang though. I love it in stingray and I am so dependent on my liner that I need a back-up at all times! And what do you know I just switched to only having 1 on hand, thus the need for the purchase. $20

Goodness, that was long-winded- sorry.

Ok so I don't have a full set of brushes- sue me, they are expensive. I have 9 total (10 now) that suit my current needs plus a little kabuki brush and a tiny concealer one that is for a specific product... and I guess I have a second blush brush too that came with my benefit blush. Anyway, I have enough for now and when I need another one I tend to spend time more than once looking through which brush I want. For some reason, I recently decided I needed an eyeliner brush (I actually need two but I'll start with a slant one for now). I guess eyeliner was on the brain so this turned out to be the day I buckled down and pressed purchase! And perfect timing since I received a gel pot eyeliner in my ipsy bag! I wanted an angled brush since I like to draw on my face so I decided on Sephora's Classic Angled Eyeliner Brush which had great reviews. $14

So this is what I would call my "fun" product. Something I wanted to try but didn't need or hadn't tried before. I actually have been wanting another Smashbox lipstick like the other ones I LOVE. I couldn't decide between a limited edition red and the classic be legendary red so what did I do? I bought blush. I remembered a tutorial thing talking about great makeup for fair skin and they mentioned this blush: Bobbi Brown's Blush in Pale Pink. At first when I looked it up I was super skeptical. This color online looks like one I had AND other colors looked better for my skin but I had some faith and purchased it. The picture doesn't show it completely but in person it looks super fuchsia-ish. Eek- not pale pink. Well I tried it on thinking here goes nothing... OMG this stuff is the best!!!! Fair skin/porcelain skin people unite under this blush- it is beautimous!!! I 'm in love. $25

Now for the "free" stuff:

First up is my 100 point purchase. I guess I was intrigued by Bobbi Brown- the blush is my first endeavor into the brand. I am currently finishing off my previous eye treatment 100 pt product from philosophy from a previous Haul (on a future Review Roundup) but I am excited for this one! I am always looking to try eye creams since I like to feature my eyes with makeup and yet I have giant bags under my eyes! I use Erase Paste which is amazing (future Product Love) but I'd rather fix the problem not cover it up- so excited to use this! And at .24 oz this Hydrating Eye Cream is a sizable deluxe sample! 

I SWEAR I miss all the best promo codes by a day! Ones I like have just finished all the time and this time around I received e-mails for some great ones I think 2 days or so after I made this purchase. Ah well- there are always a load of promos to choose from and this time I picked Origins A Perfect World SPF 25 Age-Defense Moisturizer with White Tea. A girl (or anyone) will always need moisturizer and this is SPF which is great too. Haven't tried it yet but woot- free 1.7 oz of moisturizer AND I needed a new face moisturizer!

With every online purchase you get 3 free samples and for some reason I also got to smell a swatch of Marchesa parfum d'extase (nice btw). I chose fresh's Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream because 1. I love fresh 2. I need more face cream. Bam the Origins promo code sample took care of #2 but I love getting FREE facial lotions from Sephora since it helps me find good ones for me (I haven't yet settled on an all-time fav although I do like Sephora's brand's lotion). 

Next: Soap & Glory's Face Soap & Clarity Facial Wash. I ended up getting a sample of Face Wash in Birchbox too which is great since I picked this sample because I really want to try new Face Washes.

Last: Nude's ProGenius™ Treatment Oil. I have been trying different oils and serums recently from Sephora and beauty sub boxes including a deluxe sample of this exact product I got from Sephora. Right now I am using a wonderful oil (on the next Review Roundup) but I am doing to do this one next and I didn't want a perfume sample so I figured hey might as well extend my use of this by a few days with another sample.

Amazing haul! Excited for more face creams and face washes plus I love my new blush AND I'm digging this gel pot eyeliner. Win, win, win!!
