FALL LIPSTICKS

I love plums/purples, reds, burgundy and berry shades for fall. AND I also love nude shades to wear with dark smokey eyes. I got 11 lipsticks that I am really loving right now for fall season. I have MAC, YSL, Smashbox and my favorite lipstick brand from the drug store, Rimmel London.

TOO FACED CHOCOLATE BAR EYESHADOW PALETTE

So, finally I got the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette.  I know I'm kinda late! A lot of you guys have seen this a hundred times already but still, I want to share my thoughts about it and  how I got an awesome deal using EBATES cash back. 

If you have seen my Perfect Palette Tag video, this was one on my wishlist.  I got two of them, one for me and the other one is for my friend. I purchased them from www.beauty.com. They sell it for $49 a piece. I bought them separately because I was using a $10 coupon and I had two coupons which I cannot use at the same time. I also used my beauty.com cash back. I had $5 something. So, I only paid a total of $72.49 instead of $98. Then, I used my EBATES cash back.  It was really a great deal! 

Everytime I order something from beauty.com/drugstore.com, I always get $10 coupons. They sent me another two $10 coupons. I gave one to somebody else and I'm keeping one for myself. Maybe I'll get a Lorac product or Nars. I will see.

If you shop online, I definitely recommend signing up to Ebates. Just click through the links of the stores listed on their site and you will get a cash back. Like for example Sephora online, you'll get 4% back and sometimes 8% when they offer double cash back. They also offer discounts and coupons. 

Ebates is an affiliate to over 1,600 online stores. I just started using it last August but before that, I have been using my husband's Ebates account. I already got $30 plus cash back for my August and September purchases and my husband got $100 plus. If you're interested, SIGN UP HERE!

This is made with 100% natural cocoa powder. It comes with 16 antioxidant-rich cocoa powder infused matte and shimmer shades. It has natural browns, delicate pinks and luscious plums. It comes in different finishes like matte, matte with glitters, pearl with glitters and metallics. AND, I really love the chocolate bar packaging. You'll get 5.6 grams of product. 

Love the colors! I am more into neutrals, warm, brown eyeshadows and this is just perfect. I'm sure I'm gonna love this one just like how I love my Lorac Pro palette. The palette smells like sweet chocolate. Smells so yummy, I could eat it!

This palette comes with TF's how-to Glamour Guide with three makeup looks to get you started.

An extremely smooth and creamy lipstick that provides a radiant color. They are intensely pigmented and has a unique color-shine complex. It nourishes lips and keeping them smooth, soft, comfortable and more radiant. It's made with a long lasting and comfortable formula that contains SPF 15. It has a fruity scent to it.

YSL Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick - #3 Ultimate Beige

This is described as mauve taupe. I took a lot of photos of this lipstick but I just couldn't capture the exact shade. In person, it is a more of like a pinky brown nude shade.

YVES SAINT LAURENT ROUGE VOLUPTÉ SHINE LIPSTICK

This lipstick is a bit sheer compared to the YSL Rouge Volupté Silky Sensual Radiant lipstick but it is still pigmented. It will give your lips a dazzling color. It has a very nice and smooth texture. Glides easily on the lips, very moisturizing and provides a luminous shine. It has the same fruity scent that the Silky Sensual Radiant lipstick has.

YSL VOLUPTÈ BLUSH AND DIORBLUSH

I've never own any YSL and Dior blushes before. I only have MAC and Nars blushes. I've heard so much about these blushes from Youtube videos and blogs so, I decided to give them a try. 
These blushes came in a mirrored compacts. I love the sleek packaging. They both came with velvet pouches which will protect the packaging from scratch. I mentioned in my video that they both have black velvet pouches but I was wrong. The Dior one has a dark blue pouch that looks similar to the packaging. I got these blushes from Sephora online.

YVES SAINT LAURENT BLUSH VOLUPTÈ

Heart of Light Powder Blush #6 Passionnee

This blush has two different shades and finishes that will give you a beautiful glow. The square at the center is a peachy shade with golden sparkles to it. Then, around it is a warm-toned pink shade. It has a mild floral scent to it that I really like. It comes with a portable brush which in my opinion is useless. This retails for $47 and it contains 9g of product.

Here are the swatches of the two shades. The top one is the highlighter which is the square at the center and the bottom is the blush around that square.

Here are the swatches of both shades mix together. (Without and with flash)

DIORBLUSH

Vibrant Colour Powder Blush 876 Happy Cherry

This is a vibrant pink shade but flatters olive skin tones or skin with yellow undertone like I have. It applies much more muted as it appears in the pan. It  has a nice texture and blends smoothly onto your skin. It comes with an angled brush applicator which again I'm not going to use. I like bigger brushes to apply my blush. This retails for $44 and contains 7g of product.

You can purchase these blushes at Sephora, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus in-store and online.

COLLECTIVE HAUL

I just uploaded a haul video on my Youtube channel. It's a collective beauty and fashion haul. I don't really have that much fashion related things but I went a little bit crazy with makeup. I think I have an addiction to makeup! Need to stop!
So, I mentioned in my video about my upcoming holiday giveaway. I AM GOING TO DO IT NEXT MONTH. I'm gonna give away 1 Urban Decay Vice 3 palette. I am still thinking of what to add, maybe a YSL lipstick or Urban Decay lipstick. I will see. Whoever wins will get the prizes before or just right in time for Christmas. It will be a Christmas present! Who doesn't love presents?
