Massive Beauty Haul with Fred Meyer

I am not that cosmetic junkie, but when I got to shop a lot of beauty products, my face became THAT emoji with heart-shaped eyes!

Hi LOVEs!

I am super excited to do a beauty haul today partnering with Fred Meyer and to finally get to share my awesome new goodies that I got my hands on several weeks back from the store!

It was really hard for me to pick what I wanted splurge on within the budget because there were TONS of wonderful cosmetics that were carried at Fred Meyer! It took me ages to narrow them down even though I wanted to get them all whatever in my shopping cart! Yet, I was so thrilled and have been in love with these new 12 beauty products that I could bring home with me!!

Real Techniques Retractable Kabuki Blush

 Physicians Formula Nude Wear™Touch of Glow Stick & Organic Wear® 100% Natural Origin All-in-1 Beauty Balm Cream
L'Oreal paris Voluminous Miis Manga Mascara
ARDELL Double Up Lashes 203
Milani Color Statement Lipstick - Black Cherry, Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow - 30 Bella Diamond & Eyeshadow Lip Primer 
NYX Lip Primer - Nude
COVERGIRL Outlast Longwear Lipstick - Red Rogue 925 & Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss - Seared Bronze 85 
Essie Luxeffect - a but above 

I've been testing out all of them, and I pretty much love them all, except Ardell lashes. Unfortunately they couldn't fit my eyes quite well. I got itched and felt very uncomfortable once they are applied because I personally prefer false eyelashes with clear strips, but these ones are not. My eyes are very rounded so the lashes should be very elastic. But these lashes feature twice the amount lashes for a more dramatic look so you can totally glam your eyes up!!

Milani is my new favorite cosmetic line. Have you guys tried them out already? I looooove their lipstick and eyeshadow! Like mentioned above, mine is Black Cherry & 30 Bella Diamond. I am all about rocking dark lips during fall and winter, and this lipstick's color is just on point! I have a few lipsticks with my bag all the time, and this one has become one of my go-to favorites! Lately, I  am so into a light eye make up with a bold lip color. Black Cherry is perfect for such make up! Speaking of the eyeshadow, it's super versatile and amazing because of its multi-dimensional effect with shimmer and iridescent metallic finishes!! I use it for my base color and high lighter! I think I am pretty convinced that I wanna try all Milani cosmetic line!! Loving the lovely gold package, too!

To my surprise, it is my first time using Physicians Formula products. Oh Em Gee. I wonder now that everyone loves their products! The Glow Stick & BB Cream are NEW products and have been my BFF! They are soooo good, especially when I don't have much time to apply full make up. The power of their coverage is just mind-blowing! It blends in flawlessly. I am obsessed with how The Glow Stick can be used for anything - Concealer, foundation, highlighter, or a touch up tool. Isn't the package so adorable? So cute with the gold pink bow cap!

Getting this Real Techniques Kabuki Blush makes me so happy! I've been using the same blush for a very long time because I hadn't been able to encounter the better one. However, RT blush finally won! Really love the mobile size that can fit in my make up purse. You know I hate carrying those long bushes that takes up too much space! It's soft and dense enough for a perfect application which helps finish my face so flawless! I mainly use it for a highlighter on my cheeks. I love it more every time I use it!

I barely use a lip primer before. However, NYX  Lip Primer is everything. It helps enhance the color and have the color last longer, and I have been impressed by its feature since the day one! I can't finish my make up without it!

Last but not least, I am officially crazy for COVERGIRL nail polishes! And I am so glad that I chose this Seared Bronze color! When it comes to coloring my nails on my own, I don't really like a single color - always mixing up at least two colors for a fun looking. But their nail polish tones play so well that I don't need another color to add together. I've gotten a lot of compliments so far, and because it contains micro bronze, yellow-gold, and copper fleck, it gives a perfect micro-glitter shimmer finishing touch. I just love how my nails sparkle when the light hits. It's a sexy, edgy fall nail polish color that can help you elevate your whole look for sure!!!

Thank you Fred Meyer for partnering with me to let me help find out all these goodies!

NARS Audacious Lipstick Collection ♥

Hi LOVEs!
Today's article is all about BEAUTY and MAKEUP!!!!! Makeup has been around since the time of Egyptian queens like Cleopatra, and women have been using it to enhance their natural beauty since forever! Why? Well, I believe that makeup helps with confidence, self-image, and has the capability to shape the emotional reaction of others. Just think about the impact that a bright red lipstick can have! My fashion is never complete without makeup. Ever.

A few weeks ago, my MUA friend, Melissa (who is also a Makeup Stylist at NARS at Barney's NY) invited me to the launch of NARS new collection - The Audacious Lipstick Collection.  In celebration of its 20th anniversary, they have released 40 new shades of lipstick colors, along with other cosmetics -- including beautifully colored nail polishes. The shades from nudes, reds, pinks, orange, plums, and vampy shades. Each shade is named for an iconic woman in song, film or fashion and is encased in a sleek matte-black tube with a magnetic click. 

Of all 40 colors, a selection of 10 shades - Vanessa, Julie, Dominique, Marisa, Vivien, Silvia, Kelly, Carmen, Sandra, and Ingrid - are exclusive to NARS Boutiques, narscosmetics.com and Barney's New York, but all 40 of them are permanent. They were launched a few weeks earlier at Barney's, so I went to the one in downtown to check them out, and I had Melissa do my makeup (That was the most fun part!) Now the collection is available at Sephora and other department stores!

Some of the colors in his display are NOT the exclusive colors :( 

Should have tiried these nail polishes, too!

Makeup is DONE! 

To kick off the new season, I decided to for with the exclusive color Sandra for myself because I am really into darker shades this fall, and I already have a vampy purple in my lipstick collection. Sandra is the perfect dark red lipstick that will be my go-to color for sure. This is actually my first time to own NARS lipstick, and I already fell in love with it. It's just amazingly flattering and comfortable. I will probably go check again to get another color! Hummmm which color should I choose next? 

Have you guys checked their collection yet? Which color is your favorite?

On a personal note, my parents and my grandfather are coming to visit me and will land later  today. They are staying here till the 9th, so I apologize in advance if I will be gone for a week! I will try to post as many times as I can! But I couldn't be happier right now to finally see them for the first time in years!
