Beauty:
Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Créme Color-Ice Blue
FINALLY. Ever since I saw Jaclyn Hill use this on her waterline I knew it had to be mine. After waiting several weeks for this to come back in stock I finally got my hands on it! This color is SO beyond gorgeous. I normally don’t choose blue colored anything, but this looks stunning against my blue eyes. I’ve used it as a gel liner for cat eyes and in my waterline! Let me be the first to tell you this thing really is waterproof. ABH knows what she’s doing and I’ve never been let down by one of her products yet!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Single Eyeshadow-Soft Peach
I bought this shadow solely because I am in love with Makeup Geek’s Peach Smoothie shadow and online this shadow looked to be pretty close. I was a little disappointed because this is actually a couple shades lighter than Peach Smoothie, but it is still fairly nice. If you’ve never tried any ABH shadows then you need to get on it ASAP. They have very little fall out, if any and they’re greatly pigmented. Also, her website provides a pro discount when you give the right credentials which, HELLO, of course I love! Everything on the site is not discounted, but I’m pretty happy with what is (the single shadows are)!!

BH Cosmetics Waterproof Lip Liners
I was super shocked at the quality of these liners. I’ve purchased many things from BH before and always liked them, so I figured why not give these a shot. They’re nice and creamy which I prefer for a lip liner rather than a regular pencil formula. They glide on fairly easily and actually are waterproof! The shades I purchased were Earth (warm brown) and Brazen (bright purple). If you love Heroine lipstick by MAC but don’t want to spend $16.50 on a liner then Brazen is your color! It’s a smidge darker than Heroine but goes lovely with it!

BH Cosmetics Pop Art Lipsticks
Holy bikini Batman!! Dude, the pigment in these lipsticks. . .unreal!! They are frickin beautiful. The colors are pretty limited but they remind me of Macron lippies! Pastelish and in your face bright. I love the size of these as well, they are mini sized! For only being $5 I was assuming I was not getting a full sized lipstick, welp, I was wrong. Each tube has 4g/.014oz of lipstick so don’t be fooled by its pocket-sized demeanor. A main problem I have with them is the color selection, there aren’t any nudes!! Y’all know a girl loves a good nude lip. I guess because they’re called ‘Pop Art’ lipsticks I should realize that they’re supposed to be bright and I should chill with always wanting a selection of nudes but hey, you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
MAC Vamplify Lip Gloss
I was under the impression that these would be a gloss but in reality it truly comes out like a liquid lipstick. The only difference between this and an actual liquid lipstick is that is does not dry matte, but to more a Cremesheen finish (if you are a MAC lipstick junkie you’ll know what that means). I think I prefer these because they don’t leave a harsh ring around your inner lips that matte liquid lipsticks give you. The color selection is beautiful too, anywhere from nude to bright purple! The colors I purchased were Spanking Haute and Tuned In. If you’re wondering what MAC liners to pair each of them with, Boldly Bare is a perfect fit for Spanking Haute and Absolutely It is for Tuned In.

Eylure + Vegas Nay Lashes-Grand Glamor
You don’t truly see how beautiful these lashes are until you have them on. It’s hard to believe they could get prettier than they look in the packaging, and then you apply them. They are double stacked so getting them on for the first time is a bit of a challenge (as it is with any double stacked lashes), but then once they’re on any extra work is so worth it. I did notice that the second time I wore these they fitted to my eye much nicer so that’s definitely a plus! I went bananas when I saw these were back in stock and bought 4 pairs, now after wearing them I’m wishing I had bought 10. If you want to see a picture of them on my eye head over to my instagram @seanmarie_
Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Moisturizer
In high school I used the original Hope in a Jar but I’m always trying to find the latest and greatest when it comes to moisturizers, so I switched after about two jars. Now I’m sort of sad I ever switched! I’ve only been using this new one for about 2 weeks so who knows, maybe I’ll get bored and switch again but as of today, I am loving this. It’s a perfect daytime moisturizer because it’s not super thick. I don’t look or feel greasy after applying it. As of now I’m using it as my daytime and nighttime moisturizer because when I buy something new I’m like a little kid and want to use it all the time! I have some red acne scarring on my cheeks and I haven’t noticed any difference with using this yet, but like I previously stated it’s only been about 2 weeks; so we’ll see how this goes the longer I use it!

Quay Australia Sunglasses-Style ‘Kitti’’
I am so cheap when it comes to sunglasses you guys. I love the idea of owning super expensive sunglasses but I know for a fact that I’m not up for the responsibility. I’m the girl that somehow always smudges, scratches, or breaks her sunglasses. No fail, every time. Luckily, these have been holding up greatly for the price. I believe I paid $46 for them and for the price, the quality is beautiful. They look like super expensive glasses. The plastic is sturdy and the UV blockage is pretty sufficient, and well, they’re pretttttttty!
Miscellaneous:
Diptyque Paris Candles-‘Roses’ & ’Santal’
If you have never heard of Diptyque before I’m happy I get to be the first to tell you about them! So these have sort of a cult following in the beauty world. The main reason for this is simply because they’re absolutely beautiful to look that. The packaging is enticing and the candles have such an amazingly pure scent. The two that I got were Roses which is obviously rose scented, and Santal which is Sandalwood. With all of these perks, there unfortunately must be a down side; these candles are pricy. The 6.5 oz candles (Santal) retail for $60 each, while the 2.4 oz candles are $30. For me, they’re worth it because when I’m finished with my candles, I clean the jar out and use them for brush holders etc. I understand that not every one wants to spend that much money on a candle, which is totally validated, but something to think about is that these do last a great amount of time. I’ve personally noticed that the wax does not burn down as fast as my Bath & Body Works candles or my Yankee candles.
**Disclaimer: I do not get paid by any of these companies to do a haul or review, and if I do get sent things you guys will know that it was not purchased by me. All of my opinions and reviews are genuine.
