AMERICA Sephora Goodies Haul!

 Hello lovelies! I haven't been writing much in ages, I'm so sorry. I've been studying for my exam (which is tomorrow, woops) and instead of studying .. I'm writing this because I love you. I've actually prepared a few other posts but I'm contemplating on posting them because they're not really beauty, fashion or lifestyle related. Anyway, my brother went to America recently and brought me back these goodies! Shoutout to him and his amazing girlfriend too because he'd be clueless without her. So grateful and blessed to have received all of this! Before I start, excuse my nails, they're looking despicable at the moment.

 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder [Diffused Light]

 I've heard so many good things about this, so this was number one on my wishlist. Only problem was, it was so expensive. [It retails for AU$59.00] which is way too expensive for a highlighter in my opinion. The shade diffused light is so beautiful and subtle which is what I love. I'll probably do a full review and demo eventually but so far I've been loving this. I'd love to try out a few of the other shades too.

NARS, Lipsick [Catfight]

I've worn this about 5 times since I received it. This is my first NARS lip product and I'm absolutely loving it. NARS never ever fails to present their products beautifully, love the packaging especially. I chose the shade CATFIGHT which is a semi-matte nude mauve.It compliments my skin tone and is a perfect everyday lipstick. It's definitely more on the matte side, which is perfect for me. I'm definitely going to try out a few more shades! If you wanted to try it out and you're willing to spend the money, head down to Mecca if you live in Australia. [It retails for AU$35.00]

NARS, Bronzer [Laguna]

 

I love how compact and chic the packaging is. It's definitely one of those products that you can pop into that makeup bag that never seems to fit all the things that you want it to. I really love the way this compliments the NARS Orgasm blush. It gives the face a very sculpted look. The only downside is the fact that I can probably only use this on my summer face. [It's much too dark for my pale skin during winter]
 If you're interested, it retails for AU$49.00 at Mecca which is a little bit pricey and in my opinion, there are dupes for it. But if you're willing to splurge, go for it!

Urban Decay, Naked2 Basics

 Shades: (From the left to right) Skimp, Stark, Frisk, Cover, Primal, Undone.

This is definitely the product that I'm most excited about! I don't actually have the Naked Basics palette so I wouldn't be able to compare it. It's definitely much darker and has a more smokey effect than the Naked Basics. But honestly, this palette is the perfect everyday palette. I'll definitely do swatches and a full review on it if you guys are interested! Unfortunately, they don't actually sell it in Australia but I believe that you can get it online at Amazon.

Tarte, Amazonian Clay Foundation [Light Medium Sand]

This is my second bottle of this foundation, love it! I first tried it because my sister bought it a while back and didn't think it suited her skin tone so I stole it off her. I'm not going to say too much about it because I want to actually do a full review and comparison post with this, but it's one of my faves. Unfortunately, it's unavailable in Australia but there's definitely ways of getting it online.
