Haul Time! Sephora F&F, MAC, and More

Hi Everyone!
 Sorry for posting my Sephora F&F haul sooooo late! I've been meaning to post this haul on Monday, but I got distracted or something. Anyways, here are the stuff that I got, I ended up getting different things from my list (as usual) except for the POWda WOWza palette and the Too Faced bronzer. I also picked up a few things from MAC and the drug store, so I added them in my haul, too. Hope you enjoy :).

Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate : I basically purchased this because I've tried their 7 day sample pack and really liked it. Believe it or not, Lancome claims that they did 10 years of research, so it has to be good, right?
Benefit POWda WOWza : I was immediately sold when I saw this palette because it contains Coralista, Bella Bamba, and Hoola. Was only $28 as well!!!
Bobbi Brown Party Eye Palette : I bought this because I heard a lot of good things about BB eyeshadows. I like how the packaging is really sleek and professional looking.
SOPI Spark-tacuar! Top Coat : This guy was on my wish list for a while- I have it on my nails already and it's gorgeous! Worth every penny.
Too Faced Caribbean in a Compact - Sun Bunny : Like the Lancome serum, I had a sample of this bronzer for quite a while and I really liked it. Usually, I don't go for shimmery bronzers, but this one looks so natural on my skin.
Then, I got this Boxum set for 500 point perk! ^_^ *YAY*

MAC Paint Pot in Let's Skate : I know that I don't need another shimmery pink, but the name + packaging were too cute to resist.
MAC Make It Perfect Brush Kit : I knew that MAC brush kits had bad reputation, but I picked them up anyway because they were "pretty". I opened the box at home and returned it the next day. They do suck :(.
Chanel VitaLumiere Aqua in B10 (and samples of MatLumiere and PerfectionLumier) : I finally finished my sample (almost had it for 2 months!) of the VitaLumiere, so I thought it was time make a purchase. It's a great light-weight foundation.
Wet 'n' Wild I love Matte Palette : My first Wet 'n' Wild palette ever! I never ever wear bold colors, but this palette make me want to.
Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle : I first saw this tinted lip balm on Jess' blog Don't Call Me Jessie, and I felt like my heart stopped or something. It was perfection!! So I ran out to CVS and bought the last one :).
Sana Hadanomy Collagen Mask : I never saw or heard about this mask before so I thought I would give it a try. It was kind of expensive comparing to the MBD masks, but I thought it might bring better results?! I don't know, maybe, maybe not.

So that was my haul, let me know if you want me to review any of these products, I'm more than happy to do so :). Have a wonderful weekend! xx Amy

Love/Hate Relationships

Hi Friends ♥
 I've been meaning to do this blog post a for while (since I read Tiffany's Blog Post), but finally got around to it. If you have been reading my blog, you know that if I like something, I use it to death lol. I'm the kind of person who can use the same blush every single day for months and months. On the other hand, if I hate a product, I usually throw it away or give it to someone without hesitation. But these products are a bit tricky. I can't decide weather I love them or not! One day I will fall in love, and the next day I will hate them with a passion.
L'oreal Everstrong Overnight Repair Treatment
Essie Luscious Lips
Revlon Matte l/s in Pink Pout
MAC l/s in Innocence, Beware! (Venomous Villains Collection)
MAC blush in Melba
Hera Auto Eyebrow Pencil in Grey
L'oreal Everstrong Overnight Repair Treatment
This is a great overnight treatment for sure. I have pretty dry/frizzy hair due to regular dyeing, but this product makes my hair so soft. Seriously, the next day, I can't stop pulling my fingers through it! It feels much more healthier and bouncier. I also love how the treatment doesn't transfer to the pillow. However, - are you ready - this product smells really bad. I don't even know how to describe it! :( It's one of those scents that reminds me of something rotten and gross... :(.
MAC blush in Melba
Melba is gorgeous subdued coral/peach blush. This guy simply has everything I want in a blush - matte finish, good staying power, good(actually great) pigmentation. When I'm tanned, it looks soo pretty on me, but when I'm pale (like right now), it's a bit too orange to the point where it looks muddy. :o I wish I could wear it more often, but it just looks awful.
MAC l/s in Innocence, Beware! (Venomous Villains Collection)
I remember this lipstick being one of the most popular items of the collection. I myself, had to run to MAC before the collection launched to get this little one. Apparently, it was the last tube at my closest counter. Anyway, Innocence, Beware! is the perfect pink-nude. That is, color-wise. It's very close to MAC's Hue lipstick, but a tiny bit pinker. I love the color than any other lipstick that I own, but the formula is terrible. First off, it emphasizes the 'flaws' of my lips. I have very dry lips, so whenever I'm using a lipstick, I apply lip balm before and a gloss after. I've tried at least 5 different lip balms to make this work, but failed every time. Also, this lipstick lasts for like 10-15 minutes - and that is without eating or drinking. So frustrating :s.
Revlon Matte l/s in Pink Pout
I first saw this lipstick in Allison or Amarixe's videos and made a purchase, because I was in a search of a good lilac-pink lipstick. Love the color again, but it doesn't show up on my lips very well! I don't consider myself to have very pigmented lips, but for some reason, to make this lipstick work I have to apply MAC's Myth underneath. I know a lot of people love this lipstick and think it's not drying as well, but it IS drying. It's a matte lipstick after all.
Essie Luscious Lips
Remember the NOTD post i did a few days ago? Yup, I still love the color, hate the formula. 

Hera Auto Eyebrow Pencil in Grey
I bought this guy when I was in Korea, and I loved it so much, I bought another one for my mom the very next day. I think it was about $13 (KRW 15,000). What I like about this product is that it matches my natural hair color very well. Therefore, it gives the most natural look, just like the Korean celebrities. However, the lasting power is so so. I have to re-apply it every 3-4 hours and it's a bit annoying. If you have bangs, this is not for you.

~ Swatches ~
L-R : Innocence Beware, Pink Pout, Melba, Melba blended out, Hera Automatic Brow Pencil

Do you have any love/hate relationship products you would like to share?
If so, how do you deal with it?

EOTD ft. Revlon's Azure Mist

Happy Tuesday Everyone! (although it's late haha)
It was raining all day long here in NorCal, so I was feeling like blue eye shadow :S


What I'm wearing :

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Revlon ColorStay 12 Hour Eye Shadow - Azure Mist 
(the grey all over the lid + the blue on the lower lash line)
ELF Ivory (everyday brow bone color)
MAC e/s Nylon (inner corner)
MAC e/s Beauty Marked (eye line + outer 'v')
Etude House Proof 10 Jewelry Pencil in #3 Metallic Aqua
(on the lower lashline as a base)
Missha Perfect Mascara Power Curling
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Royal Blue


Here are some swatches for you.


Honestly, I don't like this quad very much. The two dark colors(steel grey and deep blue) are great, but the rest (pale silver and light blue) are seriously unwearable. While the two dark colors are smooth and highly pigmented, the light colors are extremely chalky. All of these eye shadows fade very quickly with or without primer, so don't waste your money on this! :)

Thanks for reading- ♥
