Ulta and Sephora were on my must visit list while in America. Dragging Glenn round three different sephoras and two different ultas was probably not the best idea but there was only mild complaining. I definitely spent more than I probably should have...
Elizabeth Arden Fragrance Free Eight Hour Cream
I picked this up at duty free because I had some dollars left over. Now we're heading into the winter months, I know my dry skin will be even worse. I've been applying this to my lips before bed and I can already notice a difference.
Benefit Hoola Lite
This has been on my wishlist for a while so I got this a duty free with my remaining dollars. This bronzer is aimed at those with fair or pale skin.
Bliss Makeup Melt
Another product I picked up at the airport. Bliss is a brand I've wanted to try properly for a while. The only thing I've used before and still use regularly is the Fabulips lip balm.
Kat Von D Fetish Eyeshadow Palette
I knew I wanted this palette as soon as I saw it on instagram before we even left the UK. For the first week we were there, it wasn't in stores and only on the Sephora website. Two days before we came home, we went in the Sephora in Downtown Disney and it was in store. And I got the last one!
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
I ran out of my travel size of this a few days into our holiday so I picked this up as it was a necessity.
Josie Maran Vibrancy Argan Oil Foundation in Dynamic
I knew I wanted this foundation before we left. It's almost impossible to get hold of this in the UK unless you're willing to spend £80 on it! I've been loving using this. It's not cakey and it sits on my skin beautifully.
Bite Sephora Birthday Gift
I got this free for joining beauty insider. It includes samples of the lip scrub and lip balm plus two minis of the lip crayon and a mini lipstick. I've already worn the lipstick since I've been back and it's the perfect autumn shade.
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
Another one that was on my list to get. I've really been liking this and I love the scent of it. It reminds me of being on a hot beach.
Ecotools Total Perfecting Blender
Another one I knew I wanted, most of these were on my list due to watching Thataylaa on youtube. I haven't got round to trying this yet and the only reason for that is I also made a last minute purchase at the tills in Ulta.
Beauty Blender Original
I finally gave in. I've always held back from trying out the original beauty blender just because it seems so expensive for what it is. These were right by the till in Ulta and I couldn't help myself.
Catrice Prime and Fine Smoothing Refiner
Catrice was one of the brands I was most interested in checking out and I didn't hesitate in picking up this primer.
Catrice Prime and Fine Professional Contouring Palette in Ashy Radiance
I've heard great things about this contour palette, especially from those with pale skin so I picked two up to keep me going for the next year. I also wanted to get the Dewy Setting spray from Catrice but it wasn't in store.
BH Cosmetics Naturally Flawless Liquid Foundation in Ivory
I honestly don't know what possessed me to buy this, it was spur of the moment decision and I'm not wowed by this foundation but it's always good to have a foundation to use so I don't have to use my more expensive ones all the time.
L-R: Neutrogena HydroBoost in Classic Ivory, BH foundation in Ivory.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint in Classic Ivory
I bought this as I have dry skin and thought it would be good to use on work days rather than a proper foundation. I like it but I bought the lightest shade and it's slightly too dark for me.
Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder in Fair Light
I don't need any more loose powders but I'd heard good things about this and as it isn't available in the UK, I thought I may as well get it!
Too Faced Gingerbread Spice Eyeshadow Palette
I didn't have any intention of buying this but I picked it up to look at it and set off the security tag alarm. One of the employees had to take it behind the till to sort it out and I felt so bad that when I was paying I said I'd buy it. You can never have too many eyeshadow palettes, right?
Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick in Gingerbread Girl
Melted Matte are one of my favourite formulas of liquid lipsticks and I originally wanted to get my hands on Gingerbead Man but it wasn't in stock so I picked Gingerbread Girl up instead. This is darker than Gingerbread Man but is still such a me shade.
So that's all the makeup and beauty I bought while in America. I did a fair bit of damage but it was worth it!
Have you tried any of these?
