December Beauty Haul

My First (mega) Haul!


December was a big huge haul month for me this year. First off, I started a beauty blog. Of course I had to buy some things I was curious about or read about! Secondly, it's Christmas! I mean... how many of you didn't get something beauty related for Christmas? Thirdly, I was born in December. So, all those bday gift cards got spent...

Sephora, Target, Birchbox, Whole Body

None of them are from one place. They came from either:
- Sephora (my fave)
- Target
- Birchbox
- Whole Body
- Ebay
- Amazon
or
- Gifts from others

Target, Sephora, Birchbox, Whole Body

So, wanna know a super long list of a break down of what I got? I knew you would. So, here goes!

  2. I'm curious what you think of the Korres Mineral Foundation in Porcelain. I love the thought of using mineral but haven't found one that doesn't settle in the lines or that covers well. Let me know how long it lasts.
