Makeup Haul ft. Make Up For Ever, Kat Von D Beauty, and OCC Makeup

I just got my package from Sephora the store that shall not be named in this blog, until further notice! I wanted to try the new Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation, and when I saw I could get a free bag of goodies by placing my order online I jumped at the opportunity!

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’d been a loyal MUFE wearer for some time, but I fell in absolute love with the NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. That was mostly because I didn’t feel the MUFE was giving me the coverage and staying power I longed for.

Well–it looks like those problems are gone!

The new formula is thicker, which I like. It provides more coverage but remains lightweight. 

I’ve also noticed it doesn’t make my skin appear shiny like the old formula did. Plus–the color match is unbeatable! I wear shade N175 and it’s perfect!

I wear Dark 2/New Orleans in the NARS foundation, and that color is a tad too deep for me, but I’m able to make it work.

All things considered, I’d say this is a HUGE improvement–and MUFE may have taken me back over to their side!

I also picked up this Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Test Tube set, to boost my total to $50 to get free shipping :-). This was on sale for $9, and since I’ve been wanting to try them, I figured it was the perfect time!

The set comes with a primer, two lip tar shades, and a small brush. The lighter shade is metallic, and the other shade is billed as matte–but I’d say it’s more of an opaque gloss.

I really, really like this set! 

A little drop goes a long way. I applied the primer, and I was able to cover my lips with about three “pin-sized” drops.

It took some time to spread it around and get rid of the streaks, so I don’t think this is a product I’ll use every day.

The best thing is it has been staying put since I applied it–definitely a HUGE plus!

I saved the best for last!

This deluxe sample of the Kat Von D Beauty Tattoo Liner. Oh my goodness–this thing is amazing!

I haven’t used a “pen style” liner before–and I’m thinking I should’ve boarded that train a long time ago! I can’t believe how great this thing is.

It was easy to apply, and it did not budge! I certainly plan on purchasing the full-size liner, when this runs out–I was sold with one try!

Are there any new products that you’re obsessing over? I’d love to hear about them!
