Sephora Haul ♡ Sephora Collection, Huda Beauty, Fenty Beauty, Peter Thomas Roth + More!

Today I am sharing with you my latest Sephora haul, including a few first impressions of the products that I have already tested.

 PETER THOMAS ROTH MASK FRENZY (NZD $135, 50ML PER JAR), featuring the brand's six bestselling masks including the Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Atomic Heat Mask, the Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Mask, the Cucumber Gel Mask, the Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask, the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask and the 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Mask.

I am so excited to try these as they are very expensive (full sized masks ranging from NZD $90 - 150, 150ml per jar), and I have always been curious about the brand and wanting to know what is the hype of Peter Thomas Roth?!

 SEPHORA COLLECTION MELTING SHOWER JELLY BODY WASH (NZD $17), described as a refreshing gel that melts into your skin and releases a rich lather for gentle cleansing. I have been using this shower gel in the Beach Vibes scent (yellow bottle) and I am absolutely loving it. I especially like the design of the bottle, I love how you open with just a twist, then press and dispense just the right amount of product.

 SEPHORA COLLECTION FROSTED PARTY FOAMING HAND WASH (NZD $11).

The Christmas bottle design is limited edition, but I believe that Pillow Battle is a permanent scent.

 CAUDALIE BEAUTY ELIXIR (NZD $29, 30ML), described as the ideal priming base between layers of makeup for a long-lasting and smooth finish, it is a toning mist that sets makeup, provides an instant burst of radiance and tightens the appearance of pores. It also claims to be a great aftershave for men.

 SEPHORA COLLECTION KIWI RUBBER MASK (NZD $11), described as a DIY face mask that turns from a powder texture into a rubber like paste when mixed with water. This DIY mask comes in four types, the one I picked up is Kiwi and it claims to remove impurities and mattifies the skin.

 SEPHORA COLLECTION SUPER MATTE MOISTURIZER (NZD $25), ideal for combination to oily skin, it contains natural hyaluronic acid and magnifying powder, known to magnify and regulate excess sebum.

I have oily skin and I have been loving the Original Skin Matte Moisturiser, it really helps with mattifying my skin with and without wearing makeup, but Original is quite expensive, that moisturiser retails at NZD $60 from Mecca. So when I came across the Sephora Super Matte Moisturizer, I knew I had to try it.

Sephora's own brand, Sephora Collection is actually really amazing, their products are all quite affordable and the quality is top notch.

 LANEIGE KISS ME DAY & NIGHT SKINCARE SET (NZD $30), contains a duo of lip products including a Lip Glowy Balm to use during the day for hydration with a subtle tint and a Lip Sleeping Mask to apply before bed.

 FENTRY BEAUTY BROW MVP ULTRA FINE BROW PENCIL & STYLER (NZD $37), described as an ultra-fine, retractable brow pencil with a built-in paddle brush to comb through and shape up brows while blending out the excess color.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I feel like the Fenty Brow MVP is replacing my all-time favourite ColourPop Brow Boss. This is my second time buying this brow pencil and I am currently so obsessed with it, I especially love the paddle brush!

 HUDA BEAUTY #FAUXFILTER FOUNDATION (NZD $74), described as a full-coverage foundation that is packed with ultra-refined pigments that visually erase blemish, smooth skin, blur imperfections. The formula claims to blends seamlessly with just one pump.

I have used this foundation about three times now and I like it, but then I don't?! I have to say that the formula is quite amazing, it's full-coverage and it makes my skin looks flawless from a distance. The foundation wears for more than 12 hours on me, but it fades around my nose area just after seven hours wear.

This foundation has a very strong fragrance, it has a floral scent that lingers around after application and the scent is so strong that it can make you nauseous.

The packaging looks nice in photos, but it actually feels very cheap.

The sponge holder is a gift with purchase from Sephora.

 HUDA BEAUTY NUDE OBSESSIONS EYESHADOW PALETTE MINI (NZD $59), is available in three themes, Light, Medium and Dark. Each palette features nine nude shades in mattes and shimmery textures.

I swatched the colours in-store and absolutely fell in love! The eyeshadows are so pigmented and the texture is creamy and smooth. I bought the palette is Nude Light.

Sephora NZ Beauty Pass Haul ♡ September 2019 ft. Lanolips, FRESH, Fenty Beauty, DIOR and Sephora Collection

Sephora NZ just had their Beauty Pass Sale and I have recently just reached their Black Member status, which means I get 20% off in this sale. It's so exciting, I finally get to stock up some of my favourites and try out a few new products on my wish list.

Last weekend I bought the LANOLIPS ROSE HAND CREAM INTENSE to try and I love it so much that I went back and bought two more! The texture is thick and sticky upon application, but it absorb into the skin so quickly and it instantly hydrates my dry hands. I am a sucker for rose scented products and the smell of this hand cream is perfect.

I am currently a little bit obsessed with Lanolips and it all started with their Strawberry 101 Ointment. Remember I used to love Carmex lip balms so much?! and now it's all about Lanolips.

I already have a lot of tinted lip balms that I doubt I will ever finish, but when I saw the LANOLIPS ROSE GOLD 101 OINTMENT BALM, I just had to grab it, seeing as I love their strawberry scented one so much.  I haven't try this yet, but judging from my arm swatch above, I know I am going to love it.

FRESH SUGAR TINTED LIP TREATMENT is another impulsive purchase haha, but I have wanted to try this for the longest time! I initially wanted the colour Icon, but they don't have it in store so I got the shade Orchid instead.

I have been wanting to try the FENTY BEAUTY STUNNA LIP PAINT ever since the brand launched this product, almost everyone in the beauty community raves about this liquid lipstick and it just makes me wonder. Matte liquid lipsticks has always been my thing and I have been really obsessed with rosy, mauve, nude shades in recent years, so I picked Uncuffed, even though I probably already have so many other lip products in similar shades, but I am so excited to try this, I heard that it's super long wearing and the texture is rich and creamy.

DIOR LIP GLOW is another lip product that has been on my wish list for the longest time, but it's not something that I can just grab and go because it's soooo expensive. I think Pink Glow is the OG, but I have noticed that the older I get, the more I lean towards darker shades and a non-glossy finish. So I picked the shade Matte Raspberry and it's absolutely gorgeous!

Whenever my bestie and I talk about foundations, she always raves about the FENTY BEAUTY PRO FILT'R SOFT MATTE LONGWEAR FOUNDATION, she and I have quite a similar skin type and we have similar taste in a lot of things. The last time I recommended to her the Too Faced Peach Perfect Foundation, she loved it as much as I do, so this time I thought I would try a foundation that she can't recommend enough of. I shade matched myself online, so fingers crossed this is the correct shade for me.

Last but not least, I stock up on the SEPHORA FOOT MASKS which I have tried last week and absolutely love! Coming from someone that wears high heels daily, these really helps to soften rough areas and smooth my feet. SEPHORA LAVENDER FOOT MASKS provides refreshing, relaxing effect and SEPHORA ALMOND FOOT MASKS targets to nourish dry feet, soften rough areas and make skin supple.

Beauty Haul ♡ ft. Sonia Kashuk, Sephora, Too Faced

I have recently switched to a new mail forwarding company, after getting so frustrated with the shipping time Youshop takes to deliver and the ridiculous pricing even after a consolidate package; I had enough of it! So I tried out a company that everyone has recommended, I tried Shipitto for the first time and now I can't stop raving about their service hehe. 

Below are a few packages that I have purchased myself, and/or using Shipitto's Assisted Purchase, all these packages came from different places like MAC, Sephora, Target and Too Faced. They all arrived at different times and I have consolidated into one package.

Sonia Kashuk Art of Makeup Brush Set

Since I have never shop from Target before and I wasn't sure if they accept international payments etc... I didn't want to risk going through the hassle of them cancelling my order. So I used Shipitto's Assisted Purchase and bought this set of 10 Limited Edition Sonia Kashuk brushes and also another Limited Edition compact brush.

Sonia Kashuk Art of Makeup Brush Set

The Sonia Kashuk Limited Edition Art of Makeup 10 piece brush set includes:
1 x large powder brush, 1 x domed blusher brush, 1 x synthetic buffing brush, 1 pointed foundation brush, 1 concealer brush, 1 eye shadow brush, 1 blending brush, 1 crease brush, 1 smudge brush & 1 synthetic angled liner brush.

I love the pink bristles and the gold and colourful handles. I remember being so envious of girls showing off their Sonia Kashuk haul in Makeup Obsessvies; Arghhh I wanted a set so badly, and now, finally a proud owner of one!

Sonia Kashuk Completely Compact Travel Brush

The Sonia Kashuk Limited Edition Completely Compact Travel Brush is another item I have purchased using the assisted purchase. This brush includes a mirror and a powder brush that flips open. It is a multi-use makeup brush that can be use to apply powder, blush, highlighter and bronzer. I absolutely adore the turquoise bristle, and plus the brush is so soft, it is amazeball!

Sephora Collection Retractable Kabuki Brush

Now it comes to a part where I begin my Shipitto obsession...

I have placed an order for two Sephora Collection Retractable Kabuki Brush as they were on sale for ten dollars each. When my Sephora order arrived, there were only one brush in the package and usually I wouldn't bother contacting Sephora about my missing brush because if I was still using Youshop, the shipping cost for an extra package would cost more than the brush itself. But since so many people had recommended Shipitto and raved about their shipping cost and service, I decided to just contact Sephora anyway.

So I did contact Sephora and they sent me another kabuki brush which as expected, it arrived in another medium size package. If I was using Youshop, it would cost me at least $26 for another package, and to my surprise, after I consolidate all my shopping into one package, the shipping cost was 80% cheaper than what Youshop usually charge me... Not even exaggerating here!

Too Faced La Creme Cinnamon Kiss

While waiting for my missing Sephora Kabuki Brush to arrive, I couldn't help it and purchase the Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Cinnamon Kiss.

I have previously tried the La Creme Lip Cream range and I admit I wasn't a fan, I have tried the shade Marshmallow Bunny which I though it looks like a gorgeous nude-ish pink in the tube; but once applied on the lips it is streaky and I just wasn't feeling it.

When I saw Cinnamon Kiss, I wanted to give it another try, maybe a darker shade will have a better performance and since it has a pretty good review online, there must something special about it. Plus Cinnamon Kiss along with three other gorgeous shades are on sale! I love sales, hehe.

Too Faced Lip Injection

A mini sample size of the Too Faced Lip Injection came as a promotional gift and I am so glad to be able to finally try this product without having to spend a fortune and later regretting it if it doesn't work.

MAC Morange Lipstick

Last but not least, I bought MAC Morange from the Wash and Dry Collection.

I was a bit late on catching up with the latest MAC collections, by the time I decide on Morange, it is all sold out online; thankfully, Nordstrom had some for sale, and I was able to grab Morange before it is all sold out again!

Overall, always happy with my purchases and extremely happy this time that I was able to save big bucks on shipping cost.

I like that Shipitto allows me to pay using Paypal, and I can deposit an amount of money into my account for future use instead of having to enter my bank details every time I want to shop. I love that they consolidate my packages and repackage in a reasonable size box instead of a huge box to charge me more fees. Their packaging is really good too, nothing came damaged.

I have consolidated four packages together and shipping cost is only around $50, of course there were other shipping methods to choose from and I went to DHL express which is the most expensive, but my package arrived within 4 days! 4 DAYS! HELLO, THAT IS FREAKING AMAZEBALL!

Have you tried Shipitto?
