NARS all day luminous weightless foundation review & November 2015 HAUL!

Hey guys! I am back! Life has been super busy! But I love blogging and I can never stop doing that lol! I have purchased many products during the last few months and also recently so I wanted to include everything I purchased in this blog.

So product number one is NARS all day lumionous weightless foundation (long, I know) and I am so glad I purchased this. My shade is Barcelona, even though I thought it was Stromboli and loved it on my skin! I am actually both of those shade mixed together, but since I did not want to buy two, I went for Barcelona, and it is a golden medium shade with yellow undertone. Stromboli is also a medium shade with a yellow undertone but it is a lighter medium.
 Anyways! I really love this foundation because it gives you a very beautiful flawless matte-dewy finish. It is not completely matte it has some dewiness to it. One thing I really like about this foundation is that it is not too dewy, I am not a huge fan of dewy foundations. But this one is just perfect.
It will look beautiful and natural on your skin but at the same time it will look like you are wearing makeup since it is an "all day luminous" foundation. It has a velvet texture that will just create a beautiful dewy matte finish on your face. It is medium to full coverage, and a little goes a lont way!
I like the fact that it is long wearing and the formula of the product is very light but it will STAY on your skin!
Honestly I did not find any dupe yet for this foundation, but if you do not want to buy this foundation, you can go for the Loreal True Match foundation, which has some similarities but it wont be the same finish since that one is not too long lasting on the skin.
Formula: 10/10
Texture:10/10
Finish: 10/10


I purchased this at Sephora.
Price: $48.00


The second product is the Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation by Maybelline. This foundation claims that it has an airbrush finish, which I believe it does. I am in the shade Sandy beige 60, this shade looks light (in the bottle) but once you blend the foundation in with a beauty blender or stippling brush, it is the perfect match.
This foundation made my skin look like I got my makeup done by a pro makeup artist. It has a very a matte glowy finish to it that meduim to full coverage. Once you apply the foundation, it feels heavy on your skin but after you blend it all out, it will give your skin an airbrushed look! It will conceal your hyperpigmentation, scars and acne marks too (if you have any). This foundation will look beautful on anyone. I have normal skin, sometimes dry in the winter, so I prep my face before applying foundation. You can use a moisturizer or a primer and then apply the foundation, it will seriously make your skin look flawless. Another great thing about this foundation is that it comes with a pump and that is something that I really liked. I also love the texture of this foundation, it is silky. If you want a matte glowy look with a gorgeous airbrush effect, then definatly go purchase this foundation!
You can also find it at any drugstore.
Price: $7.99-$8.99 depending on which store you go.
Formula: 9/10
Texture: 10/10
Finish: 9/10


I purchased a few of the colourpop cosmetic ultra matte lipsticks in the shade Lychee (pink purple), Avenue (maroon red) and Creeper (red). I love those three shades since they are perfect for weddings and other events. The colourpop liquid lipsticks are very very pigmented so a little goes a long way, BUT if you put a little then it dries up quick! So you have to work fast with them. I recommend applying lip liner before so you know where to stop, since liquid lipsticks bleed easy. Made sure to press your lips gently not roughly since these can become so dry and crack. They are $6. I usually apply a little bit of lip balm before applying the liqiud lipstick since it can get too dry. I really do like these since they are affordable and they are very pigmented. But the only con is that they are too dry on the lips.
Pigmentation: 10/10
Texture: 8/10
Finish: 8/10


Oh Darling! Yes I purchased the Oh Darling limited edition highlighter from MAC cosmetics. It was sold out online, so the next day I called MAC and asked if they still had it, the representative said they had like 5 left so I told her to hold it and that I am coming, and I purchased it! I honestly do not like too much highlight, I am a matte person, but I don't think anyone can say "no" once they see how gorgeous this highlighter is! Just looking at it makes me smile LOL. (Seriously). First lets talk abouot the color of this highlighter. Its gold. Nothing else added, no other extra dimentional color or glitter. Just all gold and golden specs of fine glitter. And I am all about that golden glow life. I love gold. I am obsessed with golden eye shadow, golden liners, golden glitter, and gold powders. I just love gold, and I believe, that gold is a color that slays any other color. 
Anyways, lets get back to the highlighter, it basically is very pigmented and the finish is not powdery, it is a silky texture. It is a MAC cosmetics's extra dimension skinfinish.The Extra Dimension Skinfinishes are for those who like their highlights reflective and metallic rather than subtle and barely-there. I am going to write a seperate post on this highligher including swatches, dupes and similar highlighers. 
Available at MAC cosmetics, it was limited edition, so it is currently out of stock.
Price: $35.00

My all time favorite lashes are now from HOUSE OF LASHES.i purchased the new Smokey muse lashes and they are honestly so natural looking yet they have this smokey effect that will make your eyes look dreamy.
They are fluffy and wispy! The best part is that they resemble mink lashes.
They are 100% natural human hair lashes. House of Lashes sterilizes each lash and makes sure that there is nothing wrong with them. The brand has a reputation online, and thousands of customers love their lashes. I decided to purchase mine, and I am in love! They last you about 5 wears. If you are looking for a smokey lash that is natural looking, made from 100% sterilized human hair, then get the Smokey Muse lashes.
Www.houseoflashes.com Price: $9.00
