Haul post: From Vegas, Baby (and a swatchathon)!

Hello Lovelies

This post has been a while coming, as my Hubby's been back home from Las Vegas three weeks now.  Look at the major haul he brought back for me!

From my shopping list:  Wet n Wild eyeshadow palettes, YSL & MAC lipsticks, and Christian Dior Diorshow mascara.  
And as a surprise:   Urban Decay holiday collection nail polish & eyeliners and Sally Hansen crackle polishes!  Not a bad effort for a middle-aged male I've got to say.  You can understand why I married him! ;)

Now for a closer look and all the swatches of course.  Take a deep breath because this is gonna be pic heavy...

L - R:
YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks - 26 (Tender Peach), 2 (Sensual Silk)
MAC Cremesheen lipstick (Modesty)
MAC Amplified Creme lipstick (Blankety)

I was very much in a nude lip mood when I made up my list as aside from Tender Peach, all of the other lipsticks are variations of nude.  The Rouge Volupte range of lippies are a new luxe addition to my collection and I'm in love with the packaging.  I couldn't pass up the opportunity to score MAC lippies at half the Australian price so that's why I chose two!

Swatched in daylight L - R:
Tender Peach, Sensual Silk, Modesty, Blankety


Wet n Wild Color Icon palette:
736 Petal Pusher
I chose this palette to feed my purple addiction!
I can see lots of possibilities with it, from sweet to smoky...


381B Sweet As Candy
I think this will be pretty for everyday wear.


380B Walking on Eggshells
I've seen this palette feature in lots of beauty bloggers' posts so it was a 'must have' for me.
Another great palette for everyday.



334 I'm Getting Sunburned
Not for the colour-shy this has the most amazing rich gold shade, complemented with pink and a dark chocolate brown accent shade.
It was the gold that sold me on this one.



Urban Decay Electric 24/7 Travel Size eye pencil set
Well, hello, this was a surprise purchase by my husband and he chose well.  These eyeliner pencils are so creamy and intensely pigmented and the colours are amazing!  They're supposed to be waterproof so I should be able to put that to the test when the weather down here really heats up...

Swatched in daylight L - R:
Perversion, Ransom, Woodstock, Radium, Junkie


Urban Decay Holiday Nail Kit
Another surprise purchase.  My Hubby knows me well!   6 new gorgeous nail colours for the holidays.

Swatches shown in full sun and shade in the same order as in the pack above:
L - R: Barlust, Mars, Wrecked, Ziggy, Gunmetal, Hot Mess


Sally Hansen Crackle overcoats
L - R:  Cherry Smash, Vintage Violet, Fuschia Shock
Not exactly a surprise because Hubby showed me these via Facebook although they weren't on my shopping list.  I've not swatched them here so I'll do a separate post on these.

Christian Dior Diorshow Mascara (Black) - see intro picture.
I love this luxe mascara so I added it to the shopping list.  I've done a previous brief review upon finishing a sample tube here .


I hope you enjoyed this post.  
If you have any of these products I'd love to hear what your impressions are!


Until next time.

  9. Ah you're so lucky ! The Wet n Wild palettes look amazingly pigmented, and I have to mention that the Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Junkie is an absolutely gorgeous colour.

  10. Wow, so many goodies!

    I've been looking out for the UD nail polish set and of course they didn't make it up to Canada (yet). Enjoy! You married a good one! ;)

  11. @Margaret - Thank you! The W'n'W shadows are really soft textured and overall the pigmentation is fabulous!

    @Liz - The UD nail polish set is truly gorge! I hope you girls get it in Canada. I wore a combo of two colours over the weekend which I'll post soon. :)
