Fall Haul! Barnes & Noble, Cotton On, Sephora, Make Up Forever

I LOVE Fall! And Fall means shopping! 

A couple weeks ago, I got a bunch of things in the mail at around the same time, give or take a few days, and I thought it would be the perfect time to do a haul! I haven't done one in a while so it was the perfect time to do so.  I featured this haul on my Youtube channel so you may watch it if you prefer that below: 

I've Got Mail!

Who doesn't love getting things in the mail? I know I certainly do! Even if it's just an email I'm happy. Receiving gifts aren't my primary love language, but there's just something about checking your mailbox and getting something in the mail, especially if someone sent it for you and you didn't just buy something off of Amazon. Haha.

I didn't check my mailbox at school the whole time I was gone for winter break (although I intended to), so when I moved back to school earlier this week, I had tons of mail! I had five packages and a few magazines, which is a lot for me.

I did a haul video to show everything that I got! I will definitely do a review of one of the packages I got, but comment and let me know if there is anything specific you want me to review!

What did I get?

• My business cards! I ordered 10 free business cards from Moo.com, and although I got them from a free template, they turned out amazing. And the type of cardstock used for them is amazing. I will definitely order more soon!
• Stunner of the Month: I won a giveaway through another blogger where I won a subscription to get a free pair of sunglasses every month for a year. So far, I've been enjoying getting fun sunglasses for free! I don't have to buy them myself. This month's style was aviators with blue frames. I don't really care for the frames but the style, I like that. 
• Birchbox: I opened this package a month later than I was supposed to, but that's okay since I'm not getting this month's Birchbox delivered to me. If you still would like a review of this stuff, comment below!
• PinchMe: This is a site where you can test available products all for free! Sounds exciting, right? I got Kotex pads to try, so we'll see how that goes. 
• NailedKit: This brand does monthly subscription boxes for $14 a month, or you can just buy their stuff in the shops and customize it or buy a design. I will be doing a full review of this very soon!

I also got a few magazines. I have not paid for a magazine subscription in over a year, and that is because of couponing websites helping me score the subscriptions! 

So that was my haul! I'll be featuring some of these items in a future post. I'm sorry for not posting this sooner; I've been so busy getting ready to start school again! I'm excited for it! 

HUGE Elf Haul!

I don't wear much makeup daily, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy it! Last week, I got a package in the mail for a huge order of Elf Cosmetics that I got in the mail! If you don't know what Elf stands for, it's EyesLipsFace. It is one of the cheapest, but still great quality makeup brands out there.

I decided to buy a whole bunch of stuff, plus the 100-piece eyeshadow set for free if you entered in a coupon code. 

So what did I get? 

• Elf Studio Eyebrow Lifter & Filler Pencil in Dark // $3
• Elf Studio Kohl Eyeliner Pencil // $3
• Elf Studio Concealer Pencil & Brush in Light // $3

• Elf Studio High Definition Powder in Sheer // $6
• Elf Studio Mineral-Infused Face Primer // $6
• Elf Studio Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths // $3

• Elf Essentials Professional Complete Set of 12 Brushes // $12 // They consist of:
• Eyelash Brow & Wand, Smudge Eye Sponge, Defining Eye Brush, Blending Eye Brush, Eyeshadow Brush, Lip Defining Brush, Concealer Brush, Eyeliner Brush, Brow Comb and Brush, Foundation Brush, Bronzing Brush, Total Face Brush

Last but not least, I got the Elf Everyday Eyeshadow Palette (not currently for sale). If you want it, use the coupon code BDAYFREE on purchases $15 and over.

I'm so excited to get into using all of these products and try out some makeup looks with them!

My First Beauty Haul!

Last week, I stopped by Sephora and decided to get some stuff as a result of being part of Sephora's Beauty Insider program. I was so excited! I initially went to receive my birthday gift, but I also decided to redeem some Beauty Insider points for a really nice red nail polish from Formala X for Sephora. I was given a few free samples as well, which I can never refuse if it's free. [:

This is the birthday gift that Sephora has been giving out for this year! In it: 

• Benefit They're Real! Mascara - 0.14 oz. bottle $10
• Benefit Watt's Up! Highlighter (The one featured in link is the regular-sized product.) - $30

As a result of some extra Beauty Insider points I had, I was able to receive this Formula X for Sephora nail polish. This is exclusive to Sephora.

• Formula X for Sephora New Classics in Pyrotechnic - Dynamite Red - $10.50

Everything I got, including the three free samples!

The samples aren't pictured individually, but: 

• Fresh Black Tea Age-Delay Cream (next to birthday box) - full size $95
• Christian Dior Hydra Life BB Cream - full size $56
• Perricone MD Photo Plasma - full size $69

Along with this post, I also did my first haul video! It's literally (and figuratively) a mini haul, but I was so excited to get this stuff that I had to document it! I don't shop at Sephora very often due to its high prices so I always appreciate any opportunity to get something from there. 

I actually recorded this whole video from my iPhone's camera. I think I will start doing videos through there and editing on my computer until Darell or another friend of mine can help me. This was a great way to start off my birthday month! If you want to see more videos like this, subscribe to my channel [:
