18 birthday haul, and first impressions!

I turn eighteen in four days!! So my mum treated me to a small shopping spree at Ulta, and Sephora! I also bought a couple of things at Wal-Mart, which are essentials for me, but I will also add them to this haul. :)

First we begin with Sephora:

Stilla Collectible Beach Palette No. 4
Wonderful In Waikiki
$14

Eyeshadows Left To Right: Wahine, Sarong, Coconut, Surf
Blushes Top to Bottom: North Shore Hanauma Bay


Swatches:

                              

 I must admit the only reason I bought this palette was because of the blue eyeshadow. I'm not into blue eyeshadow but I plan on using it as a liner. The more I played and swatched the colours the more I fell in love with the palette as a whole! I can't wait to play with this some more.

TokiDoki Brillante Glitter Eyeliner
Adios Apple
$5

I love this eyeliner it's quite pigmented and the glitter shows up really well. I mean, it is large chunks of glitter in the liner. If you are near a Sephora or can get to Sephora online buy these! They are only five dollars a pop on sale from $14! And totally worth it!!

That's it for Sephora, next is Wal-Mart.
 Neutrogena Hydrating MakeUp Removing Wipes
$6

I always make sure to have at least two packs of these at my house and I had recently ran out of one of 
my packs so I decided to pick this up at my local Wal-Mart!!

Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express Mascara
Glam Black
$5
This has been my go to mascara for a while and I've had my other one for too long and decided to replace it with a new one! 
Maybelline Photo Ready Foundation
09 Rich Ginger
$12
 Basically everything I bought at Wal-Mart are things that are my go to, and that I have run out of. I have never ran out of foundation until I purchased this one. It is my go-to daily. I use the liquid, cream and powder foundations from these brands like there's no tomorrow. 

John Freida Precision Foam Colour
3VR Deep-Cherry Brown
$13
 With a new year, comes new changes. I was getting bored of my old hair colour and I have decided to dye it again! 

And last, but not least, 
Ulta. 

LA Splash Smokey Eye Duo
Heavy Metal
$7.99

I really like the pigmentation of the black, but the gunmetal colour has a lot of fall out because it is incredibly glittery. I will most likely not use it for it's designated purposes. 

NYX Glitter To Go
Disco Ball
$5.50

All I can say about this is that I can not wait to try this out!!!

Essence Color & Go
Choose Me!
$.99
 I'm always a bit skeptical of polishes that cost 99 cents but the colour completely convinced me to buy it, and I mean, it was only 99 cents!

Orly Nail Lacquer
Galaxy Girl
$10

I had been lusting over the galaxy collection by orly for a long time and finally saw i back in stock and decided to buy one. I'm still a bit iffy about the colour. It looks good in the sunlight but it looks odd indoors.

Revlon Nail Enamel
Golden Charm
$6

Ulta had the Revlon Collection named Masquerade. This gold looks very gorgeous in the bottle. We'll seehow it looks like on the nail.

LA Splashe Shadow Adhesive
 I do apologize for it being upside down, but O well. I've seen Petrilude use this in almost all of his videos and finally decided to purchase it. It will definitely come in handy with the loose glitter for NYX I bought also.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme
Addis Ababa
$7
 I've heard a lot of these and decided to purchase one. It let me down a bit because for a matte it goes on very sheer. I'm thinking I may pair it over a fuschia lip liner or creme lipstick to mattify the finish.


Nyx Lipstick
Chloe
       $6



I really like this lipstick, it does come off a bit sheer on my skin tone, but with a liner it'll be no problem!

And that's about it for my haul! This damn post has taken me two hours to do because my window keeps crashing!
