I am graduating from college soon and I live in an area where there is no one that sells all of the amazing brands that are talked about on this website. So I decided to put a large chunk of my tax return to buying myself some nicer makeup and skin care products.
I just ordered:
Shu Uemura: eyelash curler
Coastal Scent: 6 Contour Blush palette
MAC: Brush cleaner, cleanse off oil, Brushes 150,168,188,224,116,182, 214,109,187,239,and 217
NARS:Hydrating Freshening Lotion
Sephora: Night cream, day moisturizer, give me some lip vol. II kit

Urban Decay: Naked palette, urban defense, eye primer potion
Laura Mercier: Translucent setting powder, velour puff
Bobbi Brown: Concealer kit, rich lip color-bare pink
Lancome: Bi-facil
Fresh: Face duo
Kate Somerville: ExfoliKate
e.l.f.:makeup brush holder
I know this is a lot of stuff but I have never done this before and likely will never make such a large order again. I am really excited to get it all, I’ve been researching for weeks!!! I split my Sephora order into smaller orders to get the most amount of freebies (since they are one per order), so I have a few things left to order. While I’m at it, does anyone have any recommendations for things that I may LOVE that I missed??
What, no nail polish??
I know, I should add some. Any recommendations?
Anything Laura Mercier. Especially, the foundation primers.
oooh, how exciting!
Love your (major) haul!
few suggestions…
Shu Uemura: Fresh pore clarifying gentle cleansing oil (then new pink one) best makeup remover/skin cleanser ever. I also love the violet one (brightening)
Butter London: Pillar box red nail polish
Chanel Blush Horizon (spring 2012 collection)
Share with us your impressions when all of these beauties arrive, please. Thank you.

HAUL: Chanel Vitalumiere Foundation!!! I also just ordered the stila blush set with the two lipglosses from Sephora and I’m getting my birthday gift with that along with a deluxe sample of Guicci Guilty Intense.
