Ulta Haul!

I wanted to finally share with you guys the things I got from Ulta while I was back home for the holidays. I only get to shop at UIlta once a year, because their website doesn't ship to Canada, and their stores are only in the US. *sad face* When ever I go back home, my sister and I go splurge on new makeup goodies! I didn't purchase everything myself, some of these items were gifted to me from my mom and sister. I don't think I'll be going into detail about these products, because there are quite a few, but I do want to do some reviews and favorites posts in the future.

My March Ipsy Glam Bag!

Spring is almost here, and for me, it's a little bittersweet, because I really love winter. The weather is getting warmer, and my allergies are really acting up now. *le sigh* Anyway, I am really happy with my bag this month! I got a really good selection of items, and they are all things that I would use on a regular basis. The theme for March is Hello Spring. The bag is really cute as well, with coral roses on a teal background and the inside of the bag is also coral. (If you are interested in checking out Ipsy, you can do so HERE)

The items I got this month are:

• Me Me Me Loose Powder Brush
• Vera Moda Eyeshadow Single in Clover
• Pixi by Petra Beauty Blush Duo in Rose Gold
• Marc Anthony 3 Day Smooth Perfect Blow Dry Smoothing Cream
• NYX Liquid Suede in Kitten Heels

This brush is so soft! I can't wait to try it out and see how well it works.

This eyeshadow is GORGEOUS! It's a shimmery coral pink, and I can't wait to make use of this for spring and summer!

I really like the rose color of this duo, its so soft and pretty, definitely something I would wear. I tried to swirl the colors together, but the light shade sort of took over, I'll have to try to mix them with a brush and see if that works. Otherwise I'll have to just use them separately as a blush and highlight. 

This claims to keep hair straight, frizz free, and smooth for up to 3 days, I'm interested in putting that to the test. It has argan oil, shea butter, keratin and vitamin E and is made for all hair types.

I was most excited to see this in my bag, I absolutely love the Liquid Suede lipsticks and I now currently own 5 from the line. They are so opaque and pigmented, they last a long time and they don't make my lips feel dry at all. I have to say, I'm really becoming a fan of matte lips.

That's all for now lovelies!

What is your favorite glam bag goodie this month??

My New Vanity And Makeup Storage!

I'm really excited to share my new makeup storage with you guys! I have previously shared my set up twice, which you can read HERE and HERE. While I had adequate storage for all my makeup, I didn't have a proper place to put on my makeup or do my hair and all that. (I would usually sit on the floor in front of a full length mirror, or sit on my bed, or I would sit on the couch in front of a window)I've been looking into getting a vanity or dressing table for well over a year now, and I've been smitten with a particular table that I saw online. Turns out, it was from Ikea, so after over a year of lusting and indecisiveness, I caved and bought the table! I am so in love with it! I got the Hemnes Dressing table in white (check it out HERE) and a matching white Ingolf chair (found HERE) from Ikea. It was fairly easy to assemble, my hubby and I built it together, and I built the chair in about 20 minutes the next day. I'm currently in the process of organizing the drawers more, the big drawer has 2 dividers separating the drawer into 3 parts, unfortunately, it doesn't leave my makeup organized enough. I bought a couple of small baskets from the dollar store, and they fit perfectly! I put my eyeshadows into one of the acrylic drawers that I was storing my makeup in previously, and the over flow into another, and put them on top of my table in between the drawers. I also put some of my lipsticks on display in acrylic holders that I got from the dollar store on top of the other acrylic drawers. Eventually, I would like to get an Alex, to put my palettes in (they're currently sitting in a box under my table), and also my hair things, and whatever new makeup I acquire in the future. I'm so happy that I have a place to get ready at, it makes life so much easier, and I'm finding that I'm using more of my makeup now than I had been, because it's all right here in front of me.

That's all lovelies!

Where is your favorite place to get ready?
