Chic Essentials: Makeup Haul.

It has been two weeks since the Makeup Show and I have used all of the products I've purchased since than.

I am in love with everything and I will be going in depth with each product.

I can verify that all the hype about The Beauty Blender is true! I have been using it non stop for all my foundations. I would highly suggest waiting for a sale. I picked up two for $21 which I believe is the original price for one.

The Eyelashes were 7 for $10! I selected full and wispy ones :)

Disclaimer* I did purchase all of the products with my own money.

For reference I am a NC 42-43 in M.A.C

Makeup For Ever

Duo Mat #209

Mat Velvet foundation #65

HD foundation #170

The Duo Mat is an amazing setting powder. I have never used this product before, but I am very impressed. The formulation has a satin feel and it is not overly pigmented. It helped my oily skin stay under control.
Mat Velvet + has been a foundation I have been dying to try for ages! I wore it about 2-3x now. The weather was humid and I felt so sweaty. When I went to retouch my face it was matte! With in a few hours my nose did get little oily. The coverage is great as well I would say medium. The foundation did not feel heavy neither.
Make Up For Ever's HD foundation is defiantly one of my HG products. After receiving a sample from Sephora I was sold! I tend to reach for this foundation during the winter. It photographs beautifully, it gives you that glow in pictures. It is a full coverage foundation and it does its job at keeping oil at bay.

M.A.C. Pro

Peachstock Lipstick

Cantaloupe Blush

Fleshpot Lipstick

I originally owned Peachstock when it was released in the Liberty of London collection, but sadly it was broken during a night out :( This color is a peachy-nude color with a Satin finish.
I've had my eye on this blush for a long now. Cantaloupe is a matte peach-nude blush. The pigmentation is great and I love wearing it when I have a darker eye look.
Fleshpot is one of those nude lipsticks that doesn't wash me out. It is a nude with some pink undertones. It is a Satin finish. This lippie is making it's way to being my favorite nude :)

NARS

Right to Left:

Casino Bronzer

Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 in St. Mortiz (NOT SWATCHED)

Turkish Delight Lipgloss

Maldives Mulitipule

I have a little obsession with bronzers as of late. I own Laguna and absolutely love it! Similar to Laguna, Casino it has gold shimmer. On the contrary the color is a deeper brown. It is highly pigmented so alittle goes along way.
I heard of NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer from Ricquetta on her blog vivalamakeuptv. Her review really sold me! I'm not a fan of tinted moisturizers but I love this one! The formulation is so smooth and the coverage was good. It was matte after I set it, but by the end of the day my face was dewy, not oily. It gave me a really nice glow. I would suggest picking up a sample of this product :)
Turklish Delight is a cult favorite and it received much hype after Kim Kardashian confessed it is her favorite lipgloss. It is the perfect baby pink color.
I was uncertain about which multiple I wanted to pick up, but the lovely sales woman at Nars suggested me Maldives. She was similar to my skin tone and was wear it. That's when I knew I needed it :) It is champange peach highlighter with gold shimmer. I really love the glow it gives, the only down side is the lasting power is not the best :/
