Mini Haul: Take 1

I've been meaning to do a haul of the stuff I've bought the last couple of weeks with mini reviews, but I've been ultra busy! I've had 2 job interviews this week, as well as classes. I managed to land one of the jobs, so I'm going to be even busier very soon! I welcome it, because we could always use the extra income. I'm going to split this haul into several mini hauls, so it won't be so overwhelming!

I went to TJ Maxx last weekend and found a kit by the Balm! It was originally 59 dollars or something similar to that, but it was marked down to 18. The kit came with Cheater Mascara, Balms Away eye make up remover, and  Overshadow mineral shimmer in "Work is overrated" 
left: "work is overrated" without Primer. Right: Over Urban Decay Primer Potion.
If this is worn on the eyes, I strongly suggest a primer, because the color payoff is better, and it lasts a lot longer that way. Without primer, this slid off my hand in less than a minute. If using for highlighting or something it would probably be fine. I wore it as an eye shadow. It looked very natural and I really like it. 
I stopped by Ulta last week, because I had a coupon. That is always a good reason to buy some makeup! I ended up picking up the L'Oreal Infallible Eye Shadow in "perpetual purple" and a NYX Slide on liner in "Jet Black". 
I LOVE these NYX liners. I own a few more in other colors, and they are very comparable to Urban Decay 24/7 liners. I actually like them a bit better, because they last longer. This black is also a lot blacker than Urban Decay "Zero" I'm not sure if it's darker than "Perversion" because I don't have that one.

Here is a swatch of the L'Oreal Infallible "Perpetual Purple". I recently made a LOTD post where I was wearing this product. It is quite pigmented, and I like it. I prefer the color without a primer, but it doesn't last as long as I want it to without the primer.

Last for this mini haul, I found this on sale at Sephora. It is the Kat Von D, Adora rollerball. I've been lemming after this scent for awhile, and this was on sale for 9 dollars. It is a sweet, fruity, floral scent,which is exactly what I like! It smells lovely, is not overpowering , and it lasts for a long time!


Until Next Time....
