Small High-End Beauty Haul: Nars & Chanel

Hello gorgeous!

I wanted to start my first official blog post with a small haul! It is only three items but they are quite pricey items and are all splurge-worthy in my opinion! 

The first item is the NARS Artisan Kabuki "Ita" Brush ($58.00 CDN) 


NARS ITA Brush ($58 CDN @ The Bay)

I have been wanting to purchase this brush since Jaclyn Hill of Youtube raved about it in her contouring video! It is a very unique brush made of black goat hair that is super soft and dense, perfect for contouring! 

I purchased mine at The Bay on a whim while I was looking at Nars blushes. I didn't expect them to have it! However, after looking at it online, I saw that Nordstrom is selling it for $43 CDN! (which is a steal compared to the $65 price tag I paid after tax) However, it was on Backorder last time I checked...

According to the description on Nordstrom's website, 


Modern concept and function unite with traditional Japanese culture, creating unique and versatile Kabuki Artisan brush designs. Featuring super black goat hair known for its softness and strength, NARS' brushes are designed for a variety of uses including color application, blending, contouring and highlighting. Ita Brush is a small, flat and angular design ideal for blending and contouring - NARS.

I haven't got the chance to try it out yet, but I will let you know how I feel about it when I do! Maybe I will feature it in a first impressions video. Let me know if you are interested. 

(*Update: I'M IN LOVE! This brush is so soft and blends perfectly, I have only used it for contouring but it's incredible!) 

The next two items are both blushes from CHANEL

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! I have always been an avid fashion and beauty lover, but not until recently has it become an all out obsession! My makeup hoarding collecting has significantly increased this past year, and I owe that to the fact that I work in a mall with a Sephora and MAC constantly calling my name... I obviously don't seem to mind, as my love for coffee and makeup are at my bank account's constant disposal...

Here you will find all of what I have learned about makeup and beauty including tutorials, first impressions, reviews, favourites, tips & tricks, and all other things related to beauty! So grab your MAC 217, sit back, and enjoy!
