♦Mini Haul♦

Grrrrrr it's been too long again.

A lot has been going on lately, and getting ready for a lot of changes. 

One of the biggest is that I got promoted at work, and so I've been working a lot and am exhausted a lot more. But for this weekend I at least have a 3 day weekend :)

So Wednesday and Thursday I happened to go into Victoria's Secret's Semi Anual sale (which I originally had no interest in). I was surprised to find that a large selection of their lotions and fragrances were on sale...and so I went a little overboard...

These are the three perfumes that I settled on. They are Pure Seduction (left), Live Pink Pressed Petals (middle), and Dream Angels Divine (right)

Although I like all three, Divine is by far my favorite, and I may end up returning pressed petals. It has a hint of tangerine that I can't decide if I completely like. But in general they're pretty great...and they were 75% off!!!

Close up of Dream Angels Divine and the matching lotion! I absolutely loooove sniffing the lotion, it has the same scent of the perfume but with a more light powder fresh scent *love*

And since this post has a lot about fragrances...might as well add in the one I got from Zara two weeks ago.

I was really surprised to find that their scents are affordable. For a medium size bottle it's only $15. This is a small bottle of Zara's Rose which was $10. Not bad right? I love this rosy flower scent which is very mature and alluring, and the size is perfect for fitting in my purse.

Then lastly for my mini haul...foundation!

To be honest I just about hate drugstore foundation. My skin tone is kind of weird and it is nearly impossible to find a shade that matches my skin somewhat decently. In the past I either had to settle on a shade too brown or orange for my skin, or one that was too pale. Then I found Chanel's Perfect Lumiere in Beige 60! This is by far my favorite foundation, but of course being from Chanel it is a bit pricey, at $45 a bottle, $60 for the cream version, and another $45 for the powder. 

Needless to say I didn't feel like dropping anywhere near that amount and so I decided to give the drugstore another go. And literally 45-60 minutes later of me trying a gazillion different products... I found one! Actually two :)

And to my surprise they're from Loreal (usually I try to stick to Revlon only). 

The first is the True Match foundation and the other is the new Magic Nude Liquid Powder.

For both I bought the color "Sun beige" which sounds way too light for me but it has the proper yellow undertones my skin needs. That way I don't end up looking like a ghost or an oompa loompa. 

For the True Match foundation, I like that it is pretty thick and provides medium to full coverage. For the Magic Nude Liquid Powder foundation...it is kind of weird but awesome! It is extremely liquid-y  and runs a lot when you put it on your fingers. On the bottle it actually suggest to only apply with your hands/fingers because of the consistency. But when you put it on your face and rub it in becomes dryer and eventually dries like a powder. But even better is that it doesn't have that pasty powder finish, but makes the skin dewy and gives you a nice glow! The only downside (for me) is that it is a light to medium coverage, but is great for people who only need that amount. I have a lot of acne scars and so must conceal, conceal, conceal.

So my perfect combo is the True Match and then Magic Nude to perfect!

Hope this post was mildly entertaining, and I shall post again soon!

Maybe a current faves post? And that ebay post?

Love and perfume,
