I'll start with what I got at Sephora...
I had been dying to get the Kat Von D Mi Vida Loca Remix palette and they have been sold out online and while I was in Sephora they didn't have any in stock, but as I was checking out - the one girl (who worked there) said to another girl that they just got a return on one that was still brand new in the box and everything, and my friend said to me "They have one left! .....She wants it!" so I ended up getting the last one! I was so excited!!! :) Thanks to my friend for paying attention!
....... Just look at it in all it's glory!

I got 2 Sephora brand face masks - (one isn't pictured because I used it) but it was the Rose one, for ultra moisturizing and brightening. It worked very well and my skin felt really moisturized. You leave them on for 15 minutes then just pull off. No need to peel, wash or scrub. They have 8 different kinds, each for different targeted areas. Their only $6.00 each. They have eye masks that are similar that I want to try.
I got a travel size of the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in the color Vanilla. I like it so far, but personally it doesn't seem as amazing as I've heard it is. Maybe because I have dry skin right now since it's winter. I'm glad I tried it though.
I got the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder that I have been wanting! It's super finely milled so it's very silky, and is actually brightening! I really like it, a little goes a long way.
Lastly I got the Smashbox Pore Minimizing primer in the travel size. I really like it so far. I have the full size in the Smashbox Photo Finish primer and it's just so-so...but this one targets pores and I have larger pores on the tops of my cheeks so I thought I would give this a go!
There were a few other items on my list to get but they were out of them! A few of them were the Kat Von D liquid lipsticks.... And has anyone seen or tried Lolita II?! It's so pretty, I want it so bad but they only have it in the travel size along with the first Lolita and I already own that... I hope it comes out in the full size! If you love warm nude, terra-cotta colors, you need it! :)
I tried a sample of Peter Thomas Roth VIZ-1000 hydrating serum too for my ridiculously dry winter skin and it seems to be magic! I will keep using my sample but it really did smooth my dry patches over and they seemed way less noticeable today when I put my makeup on! It's pretty pricey ($60ish) but if it works I would purchase. Especially because you don't need much so it would last me for a super long time.
Next place I went to was Sigma. I only got a few brushes. I got the E35 Tapered Blending brush, and the E47 Shader Crease brush. I like to use this for my brow bone highlight or my inner corner highlight. Sigma brushes are great, very high quality!
Next place I went to was Mac Cosmetics. I got 4 blushes that I've had my eye on for awhile. They're soooo beautiful! I got Harmony for my bronzer/contour. I wanted a cool toned color and I've seen my girl Carly Humbert use it on YouTube and she's fair/light skinned like me so I really wanted to get it!
I know it's kinda hard to see in the lighting but in the swatches below you can see better.
Lastly I went to Lush. I only got 1 item this time! I always get their lip scrub when I visit Lush. I got the Bubblegum. It smells really good and works well. Also I tried a sample of their super moisturizing face lotion called Skin Drink. I actually really liked it.
I placed an order on Morphe Brushes before I went on my trip, and when I got back it had arrived! I got 3 brushes. I got the famous M439 Deluxe Buffer brush for foundation, the M509 Deluxe Pointed Blender, and the M562 Tiny Crease Blender. I haven't tried them yet as I just got them yesterday but I can't wait! :)
Thank you so much for reading my blog post today! I really appreciate it. I hope you learned something new or just had fun killing some time. :) Have a great day or night wherever you are!
XXOO, Lyss <3
