Sorry for the long post but here is my July haul! Everything is mostly from Sephora besides the Bare Minerals, which I got at Ulta. I bought so much so I could finally become VIB at Sephora. So here it is with a mini review on each because I figured most would ask what I liked or didn’t. Thanks!

- (SAMPLE) UD Revolution High-Color Gloss: I really like the color on these for glosses but I am not sure if I’ll be buying some anytime soon because they don’t last as long as I would like them too, but then again they are just glosses.

- (SAMPLE) Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder: I have not tried this yet because I just got most of this stuff in the mail today.

- (SAMPLE) Josie Maran Argan Oil: LOVE. I already own this and I love mixing it with my moisturizer when my skin is feeling extra dry.

- (SAMPLE) Tarte Blush and Bronzer: I really like the blush and I might end up buying some in the future. I haven’t tried very many of their products and haven’t been too impressed, but I really do like this blush. The bronzer is okay but not something I just love.

- (Birthday Gift) Nars: I loveeee these! Really great color and not drying for me which I usually have a problem with other lip balm stains.

- Buxom Customizable Palette (not in order but the colors I choose: Patent Leather, Champagne Buzz, Feather Boa, Mink Magnet, Wild Nights, & Haute Couture.): I am so glad I bought this! I really like how affordable this palette is and I love how they are only $12 (vs. $20 for other brands) if I don’t like a color or if I run out. The colors blend really well and are very pigmented they just don’t seem to last as long as some of my other shadows do…But, I will most likely be buying more colors in the future.

-UD Smoky: Well here it is, I actually haven’t used this palette much and that is because I am a little disappointed in it. I was expecting the colors to be a little darker when applied and I find them a little difficult to blend in. I really like how I don’t have any fallout like I do with my Naked 2 & 3 but I was hoping it would “wow” me more than it has. Its still a good palette but I think this is the first UD product that I sadly haven’t just loved.

-Sephora Twist Up Waterproof Eyeliner in Matte Brown: Just restocking on my favorites with these next few products. I love this eyeliner it last all day (I don’t know about “waterproof” though) and for $13 it only cost about $2-$3 more than what I get at the drugstore and it last me about two months and not a few weeks like my drugstore does so it ends up saving me more $$$.

-Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Auburn: Again, just restocking. This is probably the 10th Brow Wiz I’ve purchased because I love it so much I don’t ever think I’ll try another brow pencil besides this one! Lol, I wished I would’ve tried ABH before I tried every other pencil out there and was disappointed till I got my hands on this one.

-Kat Von D Tattoo Liner: LOVE! Again, just restocking. This stuff seriously last all day and stays as black as it did when I put it on at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.! Definitely a holy grail for me.

-UD Moondust Eyeshadow in Solstice: This stuff is awesome! I will be buying more colors soon! It not really a color I would wear alone because its an irridesant cream like shadow but it looks amazing when applied on top of other eyeshadows.

-UD Primer Potions in Sin and Original: I got the mini free with a purchase of any UD product at Sephora. Anyways just restocking and love them. Not too crazy of the brush applicator though, I know it used to be like that then they changed it, but I preferred it without.

-Bare Minerals in Fairly Light; Prime Time, Original, Matte, Mineral Veil, and Bronzer (this came in a set minus this brush {it came with a crappy brush that I threw away lol} and it came with a cosmetic bag which I love): Anyways, I’ve tried Bare Minerals long ago and hated it but I’m glad I tried it again! I really am glad I purchased the brush it really helps buff out the powders. As for the powders, the Original is my favorite (I just don’t like Matte Finish but that's just my preference). The bronzer is too messy so I actually just like using it as an eyeshadow. I actually really like the primer too. It really gives me a smooth base for my dry skin and I’ll probably buy more when I run out of the sample size but I’ve been using it everyday for the last month and it still has a lot of product left in the sample size.

My camera does not do any of these shadows justice! Here is the Buxom but they look completely different in person. Sorry they look bad lol I couldn't get the lightest color to show up well.

Here is the UD. But definitely check out Temptalias swatches. It looks copper goldish on the picture but it looks more blue greenish in person.

Nice haul! Would you recommend the Anastasia Brow Wiz? I have heard great things and I am thinking of purchasing it but I want to get your opinion :)

@Sandra, its probably my favorite palette right now. You should definitely check it out!

@Eve, yes! Like I mentioned earlier, I wished I would've caved in sooner and tried ABH. I wasted so much money looking for the perfect eyebrow pencil when I should have just tried ABH first. It more expensive than drugstore but it last me about 3-4 months and thats with everyday use. So its cost me less $ than trying out drugstore pencils that only lasted me a month and were not as good in my opinion.
