Welcome to Free For Haul Fridays!
A play on Oh No They Didn’t's “Free For All Fridays,” every Friday is Free For Haul Fridays! Friday is a day for fun — whether you’re already off enjoying your weekend or if you just need a way to get through til the end of the work day, FFH is here for you!
Share your latest beauty hauls! Once you’ve done that… say anything you’d like. Tell us about the greatest thing that happened to you this week, why your pet is the cutest, what you’re doing this weekend… whatever!
First, I’ll share mine!
Haul: I bought a few things online, though nothing has arrived yet. I have my girl @pursebuzz grab me one of each of Make Up For Ever’s new Lab Shines (plus a few eyeliners!) when she was at IMATs. I think they were missing two at the show, and that should arrive today. *fingers crossed* I placed orders online for Bobbi Brown’s Denim Ink Gel Eyeliner, MAC Haute & Naughty Lash, and Mario Badescu Drying Cream (I’m out!)–that was Wednesday night. On Thursday afternoon, I bought some Burberry Beauty off of Nordstrom, too — three eyeshadows, three lipsticks, one lip gloss, one liquid foundation, and two blushes. I had to really, really RESIST! the buffer brush. I am a sucker for gunmetal packaging, seriously. I figure this is permanent, so I can grab it later on down the line.
Excited for: Fourth of July!
Friday plans: Try to get caught up on some stuff I’m behind on!
This week’s Mellan photo…
I take care of Temptalia Public Relations!
This week I bought Mac studio sculpt foundation, Mac select cover up concealor, Mac MSF in Petticoat & Stereo Rose, Mac superglass in sweet tart and sugar overload. trying very hard not to purchase anything else since im going on holiday to Toronto in July and want to save alot of my money for the damage i will do in Sephora.
Have fun on your holiday!
I got some NARS Blushes to add to my ever-growing collection of them (total of 6!): NARS Taj Mahal (you somehow convinced I can pull it off (and I did) despite my N? 25 Skin!) NARS Sin (for the fall..) Excited for: Watching the Eclipse or The Last Airbender Movie. Also hopefully my aunt is going to do microdermabasion and a facial for me this weekend or Monday (free for family - woot!)!
Great haul, Rosanna! So glad you can pull off Taj Mahal! Told ya!
Haul: Nars lipgloss in the color All Night Long. I am in love with it & I wish the Sephora wasn't an hour away. I also got Stila smudge stick waterproof eyeliner in the color Koi. It looks fun, gold & shiny. I can't wait to use it.
Aww, I don't know if I could survive with a Sephora that far away :P
Love to read about everyone's hauls. Well for me the first of the month is when I do my major hauls. This week- order still on the way to me for new fall collections from Chanel. I ordered the quad es, Verte Khaki single shadow, 2 blushes and 2 lipsticks. This week also got Patina Mac shadow, 3 lipliners from Mac and some Nyx shadows and jumbo pencils. My order I received today was a Smashbox definer brush, 4 YSL Ombre solo eyeshadows (love these) 3 Dior ultra glosses , Interview Lipstick, YSL cream shadow in the coppery brown color, Jade cream shadow from EL, Shiseido hydro powder shadow in Tigers Eye, Clinique Intensive Repair eye cream, - so much to love. Going to relax for the weekend. I am sure we will have dinner out on Sunday and then go to watch the firework display as we do every year.
Oooh! Do you haul extra big since you just do it on the first?
I haven't purchase any beauty products at least not yet, My niece just delivered her baby girl this morning and I'm so happy to finally have her here, I guess when she comes home the family will get together on Sunday and officially welcome her home
Aww!! Congratulations!!
MAC 188 brush MAC 239 brush Prep + Prime Skin Refined Zone Prep + Prime Skin Base Visage The SA told me to put the refined zone first and then the skin base. I did and then put foundation. My foundation looked so good! and it sticked all day. I was impressed. But when I woke up this morning I woke up to a small zit on my nose and a small one on my chin :-( Those were the only 2 new products I tried. I hate this! find something that really works and it does that...ugh. I think the one with silicone might have done it...
That's a nice haul, Nicci! :) I hope you find a product that works :(
The MAC PRO store in my area released In the Groove and Alice and Olivia early. I picked up Stereo Rose MSF; Morning After nailpolish; and I Want Candy Dazzle Glass
After finding it impossible to source Crush Glow here in NZ, I ordered it online, so I impatiently waiting for that to arrive (should be here Monday, yay) plus another EL Signature Hydra Lustre lipstick since I adore Dune Rose so much... it was a toss up between Luminious Lilac and Portafino Coral (Lilac won, but I don't think Coral is out for the count just yet, heh!) I had a lovely Friday - it was our 5 year anniversary of being together and my fiance surprised me with a gorgeous piece of jewellery over breakfast and then in the evening we got together with all the guys in my office and ther wives and went out for Indian food - had such a good time! :D Plans this weekend - to do absolutely nothing! I've been away for nearly two weeks for work so I'm settling in cosy with the man and bunch of books.
Portafino Coral sounds like it's up my alley! Happy 5 years!! That's amazinggggg! :D
Heh, yeah I caved and ordered it three days later anyway... Plus a shimmery blue eye pencil, another Philosophy lipgloss and a couple of other things... I'm so bad! I'm now on a No-Buy for 2 weeks :-p
Let's see if you stick to the no-buy ;P
My haul was tiny this week (trying not to buy too much makeup since we just got another car). I purchased a NARS set from Sephora: Orgasm Blush/ Laguna Bronzer duo, which was paired with Orgasm nail polish. I am a sucker for Sephora value sets (the value said $53, original price was $49 and I only paid $35!) and I was already planning on getting both the blush and the bronzer, so it was a no brainer since the polish was practically free, it is regular size so the value of that alone is $16. To qualify for free shipping I bought UDPP for one of my best friends because she has never used eye primer (!). The only problem was that Sephora took what seemed like forever to ship my package. I called my local store and they didn't have that particular set. It took 8 days from the time I ordered til I recieved it. Granted, I DO live in Hawaii but this is the longest Sephora has ever taken to ship to me. I guess it was worth the wait though! I am excited that the weekend is here, since my husband is off work and my son loves watching fireworks!
Ooh, what car? Cars are better than makeup, sometimes ;)
My husband got the car, it's a Jeep Wrangler. It was sad trading in our very first car haha! But I have my own car too so now it's a lot easier having 2 reliable cars!
Two cars are DEFINITELY better than one :)
This is sort of a collective haul. I visited my local CCO over the past few weeks, and got some MAJOR goodies! I got: Lark About pigment Circa Plum pigment Sweet Sienna pigment Melon pigment Cocomotion pigment Tempting eyeshadow in style warriors packaging Glamour Check eyeshadow Mont Black eyeshadow Shimpagne MSF So Sweet So Easy cremeblend blush Way to Love lipstick Queen's Sin lipstick - my favorite of the scarlet season, I'm finally able to find it! :D
Whew!! Very nice CCO haul, Hannah!
Haul: I didn't haul anything this week but I'm planning to this weekend and next week! Yesterday was Canada Day so I just stayed at home and relaxed :) Excited For: summer weather!! Finally it's going to be a lot more sunny in Vancouver! Tonight: perhaps a movie or the Summer Nightmarket in Richmond!
Hope you had a great weekend, Samantha!
