Haul-iday Favorites!

Hello everyone! I'd like to start off by apologizing, I have been trying to keep up with this whole blogging/you-tubing thing and I am totally behind (I must say, I have NO freaking idea how Kandee Johnson does it with 4 kids)
Anyways, as always I have a ton of great upcoming ideas to share with you guys, so stay tuned.

For right now, I have been loving exploring all of the different holiday lines that are out in the cosmetic world, so I figured I would share with you guys a few of my very favorites! 

NARS All About Cheeks Palette! I have been loving this,  I've been using it every day! It's the perfect size for travel and offers a great variety. The highlight color isn't my favorite on my fair skin, especially in the winter, but if you have a medium to dark skin tone it will look great. Overall, I think this is a great value and would make the perfect gift for an aspiring makeup artist or collector! 

Casino Bronzer

Hungry Heart Duo Highlight

Orgasm

Super Orgasm

Desire

Sin

This is MAC's matte lip stick in SUCH FLARE! I absolutely adore this beautiful red lip color. 

Glitter and Ice Paint Pot in For Effect. 

Glitter and Ice Paint Pot in Let's Skate! 

Swatches of both paint pots. These are both gorgeous colors and work beautifully as a primer or base color. I have gotten a lot of use out of both so far. 

Glitter and Ice mineralized shadow in Frozen Blue. This is a gorgeous color . It works wet or dry and looks gorgeous over top of For Effect. 

Dior's Hypnotic Poison isn't just a holiday scent but I thought it was perfect for the winter time, it's such a warm, rich, sultry scent and would make a perfect gift! 

This is the Smashbox holiday line for lipgloss and liners. These are all gorgeous products for an awesome deal! (I think) 

The liners are (left to right): Black, Gold, Emerald, Espresso, and Sapphire.

Snap You're Fab glosses
(Left to right):
Pout, Radiant, Luster, Pink Sugar, Infamous, It Girl
(Incase you're wondering, Infamous was the one I was missing in my video, I lost it but found it under the seat in my car!) As you can tell, I can't get enough of these!!

Bronze: Smashbox Bronze Lights Sunkissed Matte

Lashes: Maybelline Falsies

Lips: 

Line: MAC Half Red

Gloss: NYX Lip Gloss in Sweetheart 

This is the NYX single shadow in Copper that I used on the lid. 

This is the SMASHBOX trio in Girls Night Out I used the upper right corner to highlight under the brow and around the tear duct. The very  bottom is the gel liner that I used on the upper lash line. 

Hopefully this gives you a better idea of what the color is that I used on the inner corner. This is a pigment from a line called BLUSH. I randomly stumbled upon this in a store called 5 and Below (which is kinda like a dollar store) It came in a pack of TWELVE for only $4! I wasn't expecting much but I thought I would try it out because it was so cheap. I was very pleasantly surprised. All of the colors are GORGEOUS and give great color pay off. I have tried to look up BLUSH cosmetics online and have had no luck. Sorry I can't give you guys more information, if any of you know where else to find this please let me know. 

This is the bronzer I used. It is from smashbox. 

This is the Smashbox Blush Rush in Gingersnap that I used as blush. 

I hope you guys enjoy this look!
