Small MAC Haul: MAC Pro Longwear Collection for Fall 2013

Hi!

I stopped by MAC the other day to check out the new MAC Pro Longwear Collection for Fall 2013, which includes Pro Longwear foundations and concealers in new shade additions, as well as Pro Longwear Paint Pots and Eyeliners that I believe will be permanent! *I use MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer on a daily basis (it is my favourite under-eye concealer of ALL time, it is amazing and I have repurchased it over and over again) I wear shade NW15 FYI...

MAC released 12 Pro Longwear Paint Pots in total, 5 of which are brand new shades! I was most excited about these because I own a few (and LOVE) them as eyeshadow bases (that can also be used as stand-alone cream eyeshadows) According to the MAC website, 

"Pro Longwear Paint Pots deliver highly dimensional colour with a luxurious finish while Pro Longwear Eye Liner defines eyes with a dense water-resistant formula that glides on comfortably and stays for 12 hours, in seven new shades from eggplant to brilliant sheer gold"








Below are a list of all 12 shades (with descriptions), taken from Temptalia

Benefit Haul: New Benefit Products for Fall 2013

Hello again!

Today I wanted to share my excitement for the new Benefit products that vloggers/bloggers have been lusting over for weeks! ..... If you guessed "Rockateur" you're right!

Ever since I saw posts about it on instagram, I've been trying to get my hands on this lovely rose-gold blush that seriously rocks! I believe that this blush launched at the beginning of September at Sephora. Because I work in a mall, I was stalking the Benefit section of Sephora every day until I found it! (a little excessive, I know)

And here she is!

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.
