Collective Haul & Swatches.

 Here is my collective haul from Drugstore.com, Amazon.com, and Coastal Scents. Below, I swatched all of the products mentioned. You should be seeing quite a few of these products in tutorials to come. After using my Lorac SummerGlo palette some more, I will do a review for you guys! Enjoy :)

Wet N Wild Fergie highlighter in Rose Champagne Glow

I was pleasantly surprised by this highlighter. It has a gorgeous soft pink glow which looks great on many skin tones and isn't too much in the daylight. Also, look how much product you get!

Lorac SummerGlo palette

These colors are absolutely gorgeous for Summer as well as Spring, so the timing of it's arrival couldn't have been better. I was so excited to start swatching these babies. I was a little disappointing that the purple and coral weren't as opaque or pigmented as I'd imagined, in fact, all the colors are low-key. I recommend wearing an eye shadow primer to help these colors pop. This is definitely a beautiful palette, but if you're looking for vibrancy, this isn't it.

Coastal Scents custom 12 eye shadow palette

I created this palette of Hot Pots with the purpose of creating a dupe of sorts for the Naked 3 palette, but my plan didn't work as well as I'd imagined. Had I been able to get my fingers on all the Coastal Scents shadows, I'd have been able to better choose colors, but since I had to work online, I came up short. This doesn't mean that my created palette isn't beautiful. There are still lots of gorgeous berries, both matte and shimmer. I have been playing around with some gorgeous wedding looks with these that I can't wait to share. I'll give the full run down on the names and some looks in a One Brand Spotlight to come.

Ardell Glamour Whipsies and Natural Whispies

Who doesn't love these? If you aren't an avid lash wearer, some disposables with minimal use is for you, and these ones in particular are beautiful for everyday wear.


NYX butter gloss in Eclair, Apple Strudel & Cherry Pie

If you haven't heard about NYX butter glosses, you need to. They go on... like butter... they smell like cake and they are vibrant and opaque. Did I mention they were $5? Need I say more? These are just a few more to add to my growing collection.

Maybelline lipstick in Nude Lust

This is my all-time favorite nude of life. It's not too peachy or pinky; it's the perfect light beige color for my NC20 skin. I feel like I should order back ups because I'm so excited.

Maybelline lipstick in Born With It

This is also from Maybelline's The Buffs collection, but this color was a bit too light pink for me. I do, however, love it paired on top of Nude lust.

Wet N Wild Dollhouse Pink & Sugarplum Fairy

More creamy, opaque lipsticks? Yes, please. I CANNOT wait to use Sugarplum Fairy in the Fall, I'm just dying to create a  look with it. As for Dollhouse, it's super bright for me and a little too blue for my skin tone. I do find it to be beautiful, but it would look better on someone else.

Wet N Wild eye shadow trio in Walking on Eggshells

This is such a great everyday trio! I've already used it several times when I didn't have the time to plan out a full elaborate makeup look. Like Wet N Wild shadows have proved to be, they are super soft, pigmented and of course, cheap!

Ardell brow brush

Larenim eyeliner brush

NYX full coverage concealer in Orange

I got this bright concealer color in hopes of creating my own salmon color to conceal my dark eye circles. I'm still looking for the right mix, but when I find it, I'll be sure to let you frugal ladies know a cheap alternative to some of the more expensive brands, if it exists.
