This would be me collective haul over the last month or so. I will be giving my mini reviews and would love your input or alternative suggestions as some of them are not my favorite!

Cover girl outlast 3 in 1 foundation color 810: fantastic drugstore foundation! I have combo oily skin and this keeps my skin manageable without powder or touch ups! It's medium coverage that I personally do not attempt to build up.

Nars pro prime radiance enhancing primer: oh I love NARS and this primer but I can only use it on occasion because it breaks me out terribly! For me it, it's creamy texture did provide radiance and some smoothing.

Estée Lauder double wear concealer shade warm light. Not my ideal color for high lighting but does cover my dark circles amazingly! It does not crease or dry out my undereyes area. It is, like its paring foundation, difficult to remove so consider your makeup remover with this one. I actually use this as my only face product frequently.

NYX micro brow pencil in taupe: closest alternative I've found to my beloved ABH brow wiz. This is a great cool toned color for blondes ( I am a darker blonde)

Becca x Jaclyn hill highlight in champagne pop: I was hesitant to purchase this because I am so pale but it truly is beautiful. I use it on top of my cheek bones blended slightly into my blush. The light always seems to hit it perfectly and it looks wet versus glittery.

josie maran Argan enlightenment illuminating veil: a more muted option and not at all glittery. You can really highlight the entire face with this one. I haven't used it since purchasing the Becca one and it is quite powdery

Becca shimmering skin perfector poured in moonstone. I've only used once and I do have the liquid version ( not picture) which adore..what's the best way to apply?

Mac blush in Melba: matte
Kat von d liquid lipsticks in melancholia and requiem: brand new but I love the colors!! They are easy to apply as I am new to liquid lipsticks.

NARS sephora birthday gifts which are the satin lip pencils in rikugien and cruella. Rouge members also get an eyeliner but my sephora was out and I didn't really need it so I took the lip pencils only. I'm all about instant gratification lol

Mac matte lipstick in whirl: great formula as usual and the color is darker than I expected..I'll be using it more this fall

This skin care is the origins mask in drink up and out of trouble. I do not enjoy the drink up one at all I much prefer their overnight mask which smells and works amazingly. The sephora brand total purify and cleanse gel is new. Has anyone tried it?

I love mac whirl and melba blush, I wear it all the time! How does the nyx brow pencil compare to the abh brow wiz when it comes to formula and how long it lasts? I have the abh dipbrow and brow wiz that I bought when my hair was really dark brown (my brows are a light brown) And I'm lightening my hair again soon so I was thinking of trying out the nyx pencil in a color that matches my natural brow color, I've heard great things about it.

The nyx pencils color is slightly darker which I actually like! I used to use abh taupe. The nyx applicator is very similar but smaller and the dispensed product Is smaller as well. The pencil is not as smooth as the ABH but does last as long for me. I am oily, again, for reference. I do like to use the nyx pencil in conjunction with a powder or the brow dip. I used to use my brow wiz alone. This might because the nyx pencil is smaller and not as smooth. This is my first pencil but I will likely repurchase it again instead of the abh

Nice haul! How pale are you? Because I think the champagne pop highlighter looks so pretty but I'm extremely fair skinned and I wasn't sure how it would look on me.

Taylor, I have very few foundations to use as a reference because I have not found a ton that match! I am usually the lightest to second lighted shade. In UD naked skin foundation I am 1.0. I thought I had added a picture of swatches which shows the inside of my arm. this would be the palest of my skin and should show my undertones. Champagne pop is heavily swatched so when I apply it I used a lighter hand. ill attempt to attach it

Thanks! I think you can still order champagne pop on sephoras website so I think you should get it! I wear it everyday!
