Hello Gymbugs,
I finally had time to sit down and film a Haul! It has been
since March of this year that I last updated. I have missed creating content
for YouTube so much. I hope I will be able to get back into it this year.

Zoya Nail Polish Haul
Mid January 2013 Zoya was having a sale where you could get 3 nail polishes for free. the catch was that you had to pay $10 shipping per 3. If you want an up close look at the polishes I bought stay tuned for the video.
I love these polishes, they are free from formaldehyde, tuluene, dibutyl phthalate and camphor. Cruelty Free. Paraben Free.
Polishes shown: Megan, Wednesday, Snow White, Jolene, Rica, Daul and Trixie

Huge ELF Haul
This is my first ELF Haul. ELF was having a 50% off their entire website so I decided to try a few things from their line.
Among the many items featured in this video I show a side by side comparison of the MAC 150 brush and the ELF Studio Complexion Brush.
I also show side by the side the MAC Prim & Prep Translucent Power next to the ELF High Definition Powder.
I'm also curious to see if the ELF Makeup remover Pen is comparable to the discontinued Revlon Makeup Corrector Pen.
Beauty.com Haul
Beauty.com is partnered with drugstore.com I've made purchases from both for about 4 years. They have some great products. One thing I love about them is their gift with purchases. I am showing the beauty bag I received and the products inside it. It is the Mara Hoffman Designer Bag filled with samples which I show. It is their Complimentary Gift with Purchase. I'm a sucker for gift with purchases.
Purchased items:
Too Faced Smokey Eye Palette 2012 edition
Too Faced Bronzed and the Beautiful 2012 edition
Mallys Beauty Lip Fence Pencil
Watch and see what you think of my gifts with purchase!
I for a free gift from Too Faced, Mally Beauty AND Too Faced. I was only able to find screen captures of 2 of the 3 gifts with purchases that I received. But watch my youtube video to see them all.

Philosophy & Revlon Mini Haul
So I just watched emilynoel83's youtube video published June 2nd about what is new at the drugstore.
Her post linked:- What's New at the Drugstore -Makeup haul!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joirn16FE2I&feature=g-all-u
And she mentioned a few Philosophy cosmetic products that she picked up for only $3 at her Big Lots. I always think of bath of skincare products when i think of Philosophy as a brand so I was a bit surprised to even hear about them having makeup. I decided to research and it seems as thought Big Lots did have sell Philosophy stuff at the beginning of May. I feel like many makeup bloggers were on top of that and grabbed a bunch of stuff at the beginning. Being a month ago I was pretty certain it would all be gone. I was too busy vacationing with family to be entirely up to date on make up deals. I called 2 nearby Big Lots (live in San Diego) and found that one claimed to have a little bit left. So in the same day I saw Emily's video, I went out to seek it for myself!
There was a tiny little section of it left and unfortunately the eye shadow palette that looked so appealing on some blogs were gone =( I did however pick up the items pictured below.
Philosophy the color of grace. eyelighting shadow duo in heaven and earth.

Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Lilac.
So far I have only tried the lipstick (my first experience with a ColorBurst) and the color was ok for my NC35 skintone but it felt nice. More like a chap stick than a lipstick so I liked that aspect.

Beauty.com Friends & Family Haul
Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray 8 oz $39 :-
I've been wanting to try Skindinavia makeup spray for a while now! I've tried Evian and MAC's Fix+ which I like for refreshing my face but I've heard that those are not true setting spray from youtubers. Therefore I decided to try this out. I had a really hard time deciding between Urban Decay's setting sprays VS skindinavia but the push to go towards Skindinavia came when it seemed like the reviews for it were a tad bit more positive. Also, Skindinavia make UD's setting sprays so since they're the manufacturers I figure that must know sprays better. I also had a hard time deciding on which spray to try, I was torn between the Makeup Finishing Spray, Bridal and the 10 years younger. I ultimately went with the Makeup Finishing Spray.
Dr. Dennis Gross Extra Strength Alpha 30 step 1 and step 2 $85.:-
So I first came across these pads when I got 5 sets of this with my purchase of my Clarionic system. I tried it out and it seems to make my skin softer and brighter. I only tried using this at night and I noticed the my normally combination skin was a tad bit more oily the next more and I would not use a moisturizer after using this either. I was hoping it would take away the little bumps I started getting at the base of my nose but the samples were probably not enough of a routine to give a definitive result so I decided to buy a whole box of them.
LORAC Behind the scenes eye primer 0.53 oz $21:-
I've been using a tube of Too Faced Shadow Insurance which many people swear by. I agree in the staying power this product gives your eye shadow and eyeliner. However, I started noticing that when I remove this at night my eye lids feel like they are stinging a bit. So again I tried to do some research and apparently LORAC makes an eye primer with mostly the same ingredients as Too Faced minus Bismuth Oxychloride which after further research is a product that causes makeup adhere to it but is also an irritant for some people. So I hope this works out. I think I'll continue to use the Too Faced Shadow insurance on my brows.

Mario Badescu Skincare Haul
This is the first year that I started noticing small white bumps on my face around my nose. So after researching on the internet and seeing a few videos I've come to the conclusion that I have oil seeds also known as milia. One of the products I came across that supposedly aids in the removal of these was Silver Powder from Mario Badescu. The push that made me decide to give this line a go was my sister in law saying it was the only stuff that healed her skin after having a baby. I may have to write a review if this stuff really works.
I checked out this product in person at Ulta but ultimately bought it online from https://www.mariobadescu.com with free shipping and a 10% off coupon that I found from retailmenot.com. Together with my mother we bought $192 of product. The shipping took 5 business days which is pretty standard. My only complaint is the package included the wrong 3 samples -so that irks me a bit.
Pictured below are only the products I bought. I did not want to include my mother's purchases because I won't be able to use or comment on them.
Facial Spray With Aloe, Herbs And Rosewater 8oz $12
Silver Powder 1oz $12
Glycolic Acid Toner 32oz $56

March 2012 Sephora VIB event
A few days ago I received an email from Sephora for their VIB (Very Important Beauty Insider) event. In order to become a beauty inside I believe you need to spend at least $350 USD in a single calendar year and then you have to continue to re-qualify every year. This past November was the first time qualifying for their VIB. I was invited to an event around the holidays late 2011 and was thoroughly disappointed that I came home empty handed. It was also far too crowded for me.
This go around I went straight after work around 3:30 pm. A crowd was starting to build but nothing like before. When I got home from this event I realized. I buy a lot of beauty and skincare products. Maybe I should start documenting them, even if it's just for my own enjoyment. So I got home and took a few photos of my purchase plus swag. I only bought one item this go around because the location I went to is closest to my work and they are really small (don't carry everything I'd love to try).
Purchase:-
Retail $14, VIB Discount $11.90 (before tax)
Sephora Collection, Purifying Brush Shampoo 6.75 oz
The Gift w/any purchase VIB Swag:-
Sephora Umbrella
Reusable Tote
Compact Sephora Mirror
(All products in goody bag are either sample or deluxe sample sizes)
Boscia B.B. Cream
Makeup Forever Smokey Eyelash Mascara
Sephora Full Action Extreme Effect Mascara
Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner
Escada Especially Solid Perfume
I've tried the following brush cleaners for daily use: MAC Brush Cleaner, Clinque makeup brush cleaner and Cinema Secrets. And for a deep clean I tried making my own home made blend from watching EnKore's youtube DIY video. I'll have to write a post on them some day comparing them all later.
As for the free stuff, it's funny that I asked for a sample of the Boscia BB Cream before I knew they gave a sample in the bag. The umbrella looks sturdier than one would think a free gift would be so I was pleasantly surprised. The reusable bag design is definitely from the Christmas holidays! The white bag, plant, holly, ornament and verbage "I'm dreaming of a..." are a dead give away that these were left overs from their Christmas season. My last 500 point perk also seemed to be a left over that I had seen in their "sale" section.
