Ulta and Sephora Hauls! [Video to follow shortly]

Eyeliner: Sephora Collection Waterproof Smoky Cream Liner; Nail Polish: Formula X by Sephora in Pyrotechnic; Lip Treatment: Sugar Lip Treatment in Petal; Lipstick: Nars in Niagra; Blush: Nars in Super Orgasm




I am so excited to share with you some major Sephora and Ulta purchases I have made over the last week and my thoughts on all of them. I will be reviewing my Ulta purchases on the blog tomorrow. I do have more on the way from both stores that I will be reviewing later! I plan to post a video once I have compiled all of my purchases. There are some I am waiting on that I want to make sure I am able to review in the video.

-Sephora Collection Waterproof Smokey Cream Liner: I have never tried a liquid liner in a pot before so this was my first experience. I didn't want to spend too much so this seemed like the perfect pot liner to start with! I have to say that I really am enjoying this. I love the line I am able to get with it and how close I am able to get to my lashes. I use an angled liner brush to put it on and I love how easily I am able to create a wing with it.

-Formula X by Sephora: I am not going to spend too much time on this one since I have talked about how much I LOVE the Formula X polish in a previous post. I love this polish because it applies thick, looks professionally done, and dries quickly. The color and glitter options are also just incomparable.

-Sugar Lip Treatment in Petal: I had heard great things about this lip treatment and I am sort of having mixed feelings. I really like the way it feels on my lips when I apply it. It goes on like butter and makes your lips feel super smooth when wearing it. I don't really feel like it is having a lasting impact or "treating" my lips and I can't say that I LOVE the color. I maybe should have purchased it in a more neutral shade. Not sure if I will be re-purchasing this one since I have a similar product coming my way that I am excited to share with you later in the week!

-Nars Lipstick in Niagra: Majority of my matte lipsticks are Nars so I am no stranger to their lip products. I liked Niagra because it was a little more neutral and looked like something I could wear to work if I didn't feel like wearing a gloss. I love the color and think it's definitely an essential if you like matte glosses.

-Nars Blush in Super Orgasm: So, I was really disappointed because I went to Sephora to buy this blush in the shade Orgasm. I had heard great things about it from other bloggers but it was totally sold out. The shade Super Orgasm was right next to it so I decided to give it a try. I definitely LOVE it and am actually really glad I ended up with this one. Orgasm is a little bit more coral and this one is a better mix of pink and coral. I love this with my skin tone and love the shimmery flecks that give my cheeks a great glow.
