HAUL! Ulta, Nordstrom, E.L.F., & MORE!

There have been such gorgeous products coming out, they have my wallet crying! They are all just too beautiful I had to put them all in a haul for you guys. 

BITE Beauty Watercolor Lip Gloss Library
These gloss colors blew me away! I was not expecting to like the peculiar colors such as the green or yellow but they look great on top of lipsticks as well as on their own. I didn't want to overload you guys with swatches of every one of these glosses because I don't think this particular set of them is available any longer. I was fortunate enough to snag this bad boy while it was on sale at Sephora for half off.




NARS 'Blame it on NARS' Cheek Palette
I bought this beauty during Nordstrom's Anniversary sale obviously. . . how could I not? I love the packaging, it's super sleek. Also a bonus that it has 2 blushes, a bronzer and a highlight all in one. Not to mention they give you a mini Ita brush!!! <-Those three exclamation points were so necessary because this contour brush is amazing so getting a mini version of it in this palette for my purse was a score. This palette includes:
- Blush in shade Day Dream
- Blush in shade New Attitude
- Highlighter in shade Satellite of Love
- Bronzing Powder in shade Casino

NARS 'Ultimate NARS' Lip Pencil Set
This set which is almost the exact packaging as the cheek set, comes with 3 lip pencils and a mini sharpener, YAS. I seriously love anything mini so that was a win for me. This set includes:
(Shades listed from top to bottom)
- Satin Lip Pencil in Stourhead
- Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park
- Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in shade Sex Machine
- Mini Sharpener

The BALM Nude 'tude Eyeshadow Palette
I've had my eye on this palette for months now. It came on Hautelook for almost 40% off and I could not resist. I haven't used all the shades yet, but when I do you guys will be the first to get a picture tutorial on the color combinations I make!

NYX Lip Products
NYX Butter Glosses
Butter glosses are a classic. Whether you wear them with a lipstick or without they're gorgeous glosses. Per usual, I got all nude shades except for one that is mauve. The shades I purchased are swatched and labeled below:

NYX Intense Butter Gloss
I wasn't sure what the difference between these and the regular Butter Gloss was so I only ordered one shade. I was not let down at all, exactly like it claims these are an intense pigmented version of the Butter Glosses. They don't come in the same shades as regular glosses which is awesome because the more shades the merrier. The shade I purchased was Tres Leches:
NYX Xtreme Shine Lip Creams
I had never tried these before, so I figured I would order three classic shades to try. These are literally beautiful. Actually, beyond beautiful. I prefer these to the Matte Lip Creams only because these don't make my lips dry at all. These are extremely pigmented, seriously these swatches were one swipe:

OPI Infinite Shine Polish
These colors are stunning, actually beyond stunning. The color selection is outstanding, and they have a nude for every skin tone as well as some new pastel shades. Y'all know I cannot pass up a good pastel or a nude. The colored polish is supposed to be step two in the painting process, but I have an acrylic overlay on my nails so I only do the color and the top coat. The three shades I purchased (from left to right):
- The Sun Never Sets (corally orange)
- To Be Continued. . .(light periwinkle blue)
- Pretty Pink Perseveres (baby pink)






E.L.F. Studio Baked Blush
Aside from it having shimmer this is a great every day blush color. It looks extremely natural on my light to medium skin tone. I don't plan on purchasing more colors in this formula mainly because of the shimmer, but I totally love the one I have. The shade is Peachy Cheeky.








E.L.F. Matte Lip Color
Woah, was I blown away by the pigmentation of these lip colors! They have more of a satin-matte texture which is nice. I also love the packaging because these are like a lipstick in a lip liner form. It makes it super easy to apply especially when I'm in the car or rushing because they do the work of a liner and a lipstick. Plus they're only three bucks each, like okay!
