Random Haul back in April

Hi there!

This is a strange post because I actually purchased this stuff at the end of April but now I'm blogging about it later.  I procrastinated.  However, I guess because I took the picture and I wanted to share this before, I should still write a post about it.  Normally, I don't do hauling posts unless I made a significant online purchase (like my Rescue Beauty Lounge or Sephora hauls) or warehouse sales.  This is different.

So this is some of the stuff I bought:

Clinique Cheek Pop in Ginger Pop.

I bought this after the sale and I guess because I heard a lot of beauty gurus talk about how much they like this that I decided to give it a try.  I am surprised I didn't go for Peach Pop but I wanted something a bit different.  To be honest, Clinique was one of the first make up brands I started out with but I found later on that whenever I received eye shadow samples or mascara, it wasn't really my thing.  I even bought a face colour powder but ended up not really liking it.  So I wasn't sure if I would like this because my opinion of Clinique is a bit not on the hate but not on the like side.  

I tried this and I really like it.  Besides the cute packaging, the colour is pretty pigmented and it adds a nice colour to my face.  The colour was what I was looking for, so I'm quite happy with my purchase.  I don't know if I'll buy the entire line but I'm very happy with this.  

I use my e.l.f. Studio Makeup Powder Brush to apply this and it does a nice job or at least I'm happy with it.  Depending on how sleepy I am, I can give it 1-3 swirls.  The 3 swirls days are clearly when I'm so sleepy and swirling has become distracting or something I'm doing unconsciously. 

Random swatch. I just used my finger.

Nail Polish Haul

With my Sephora purchase of my Clinique Cheek Pop, I bought Formula X Infatuated.  After I bought it online, I went to Sephora to try it on my finger and I changed my mind. So I actually returned it.  It's still in my photo so I'm going to leave it.

Essie: Fashion Playground. You can tell this post should have been done earlier since I have already reviewed and declared this as my summer favourite.  I still really like it.  So happy I bought it.

Essie Got Engaged.  I haven't worn it yet but it's a pink with fine white shimmer. I guess that's how I like my Essie polish.

This haul I am kind of proud of.  So back in April, Shoppers Drug Mart had a BOGO coupon from 5pm to 8pm.  This rarely happens at Shoppers.  I think this is the second time.  So I got Cocktails & Coconuts, Muchi Muchi, Truth or Flare and Hide & Go Chic.  I guess I should have picked a new collection item instead of Muchi Muchi but I couldn't find another colour I liked.  I was originally only going to get the blue shades but then I found Cocktails & Coconuts, so I couldn't resist. Shoppers usually retails Essie's for C$11.99, so I basically got the new shades for $5.99 before tax. While I guess I didn't really need the colours I'm glad I got them for the price I did.  Fashion Playground was available in the store but I had already ordered it online, so I didn't pick it up or I would have.  The bridal collection wasn't out yet either.

Anyway, this is my mini haul and even though I didn't really explain anything, thank you for reading!
